“—We Also Walk Dogs”

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Still busy. Still having fun, thanks. But I did want to mention this WP story about Brighter Days, an anarchist dog walking cooperative.

Yes, you read that correctly. Brighter Days is apparently not the only anarchist dog walking cooperative in the DC area (as the result of a bitter split between the founders), but the WP implies that it is the most successful ($250,000 gross last year: there’s no net figure given, but the collective is apparently able to offer health insurance and paid vacation).

It’s harder still for Seager, because he wears black most of the time.

“I need more white shirts,” Seager says. “I just so despise the concept of fashion.” Worrying about clothing is, at best, “one of the least-interesting human pursuits” and, at worst, “embarrassingly pathetic,” Seager says.

Hidden Agenda, call your office, please.
