As someone who lived there in the 90’s, can confirm. It was sick + twisted, like him. One word: hedonism.

Doo do doo do Acetamahnaman 🤭

Thank God I took Tylenol for my chronic headaches while pregnant w/daughter so I didn’t have to suffer just for her to turn into a nurse practitioner. 🤷‍♀️ Look, I’m a trained therapist who’s worked w/folks on autism spectrum. The cause is complicated/still being researched. Don’t listen to the quack.

My name is Lion + I’m asking for your vote. I’m running for Governor of Treats Forever. 🤭 Not really but I’d love ur vote in the Leaf No Pet Behind Shelter Challenge. We could win grants for all da cats. Maybe w/enough votes, I’d get a 2nd breakfast? ✅ greatergood.com/pages/shelte... #catsofbluesky

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel's show returning on Tuesday, ABC announces

Kenna the resilient. First of her kind. Queen of dealing with needles and antibiotics. Lives joyfully with only two legs. Long may she reign. ❤️

Five year old me would be in awe of all the cats I get to care for. 50-something me is def in awe but add in a mix of fatigue, wonder, joy, + fatigue. 🤷‍♀️ Over 20 cats in my care inc 2 special needs cats, 3 orange cats, 2 moms of 7 of these cats, + another newbie. my.linkpod.site/allthesecats #cats

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." - John Lewis

A piece I wrote in June but it feels like 27 years ago. 😳 open.substack.com/pub/kimcdick... #mentalhealth #RVA

Hi, Bluesky! It’s God. Don’t let the bastards get you down.

Thank you to JP for the bowls, tapeworm meds, and diatomaceous earth. We’re so thankful 🙏 It’s raining today but tomorrow, look out fleas! 👀 If you didn’t know, diatomaceous earth kills fleas/ants/spiders + other nasties + isn’t harmful to pets like other chemicals. amzn.to/4nDEgZa ad #RVA #cats

Give me Redford in the OG The Great Gatsby. He and @miafarrow.bsky.social were magical. 💫 RIP, old sport. “Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Such a pretty color.

Remember, it’s okay to cut toxic people out of your life. Doesn’t matter if they’re relatives or not. I know this can be culturally sensitive but if ppl repeatedly disrespect your boundaries, you’ve got to decide when enough is enough. Take care of your mental health. Take care of your heart. ;

Oh my God. This day…This month… My mother just emailed me the petition titled, A National Memorial Day for Charlie Kirk: Choosing Dialogue Over Division. Pretty sure she did it just to piss me off. I’m glad * I’m not * a chip off the old block. I don’t support hate cloaked in religion.

I was just in the shower throwing myself a pity party. “Maybe baby Kenna should be w/someone w/more means” I thought. “Maybe I’m being selfish.” “How am I going to keep up her care?” I got dressed + saw this ⬇️ I love her w/all of my heart. I’m just tired. She belongs w/me no matter how hard it gets.

My first year of dahlias update: Ferncliff Inspiration (lavender), Doodlebug (salmon pink), Rebecca Lynn (deep rose). Next year I will try to do better with pinching and staking. But overall, they fared much better than I thought they would. #Bloomscrolling #Photography 📷 🌱

Y’all know I’m not one to complain but holy 💩 These past few weeks have been brutal. 🧵 Baby Kenna has been in/out of vet 5+ times. She’s healing. Usual bladder/tummy issues. Ghost ~>vet 2x. FIV is a bitch. Lion had tummy issues. Discovered he was covered in fleas + had 🪱 Yes he gets flea

I recently had to throw away all of Kenna’s crinkle bags + I finally ordered her a new one. This one is a little pricey but is good quality, includes attached toys + is a good size. amzn.to/46jjNll ad She’s been having a blast with it. The wire opening is adjustable so it fits low riders. ☺️ #cats

A quick vote? 🙏

How about some Lion in your feed? Take good care of your minds + hearts, today. 2025 has been wicked.

Someone was an awful good shot. They got him right in the jugular. He was an awful human being but I won’t celebrate bc he leaves behind innocent kids. I/We shouldn’t have to carry a freaking 9mm to feel safe in this country. I hate guns but your perspective changes once you’ve been a crime victim.

Checking in on @jeffthompson48.bsky.social @karenholland.bsky.social @booksrlife.bsky.social Just making sure you guys are okay. 🙏

Petunia is like a baby Kenna ☺️ Positivity, resilience, and joy. ❤️

P.S. As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away DJT’s lawlessness + grift. He is not a Great Anything and is, in my opinion, incapable of being a law abiding POTUS so thank you for your attention to this matter!!! 🤷‍♀️

Because everything is shite right now, bc baby Kenna is sick again, bc 🍊 he’s still alive, let us find delight in the baby goat I met over the weekend. #RVA Music: Rain Musician: @iksonmusic How y’all holding up out there? #animals #goats #wildlife #voteblue

It’s Amazon but if you have a gazillion cats like me, you can save 30% off 37 lbs of cat litter by using coupon code CATWEEK. amzn.to/4ncjNds It brought my order down to $25. One of our preferred brands around here. AD #cats We go through about 80 lbs a week. 😳

Believe the women. There will be personal hell to pay for coming forward bc ppl are crazy. I have first hand knowledge of Epstein using teen girls to recruit others way back in 1992. Did these girls name drop? Hell yeah. It was an incident that haunts me until today. If only I’d known…

Conversion therapy is not therapeutic. It’s religious extremism. Clinical depression is not a character defect. Your thoughts are not facts. Your parents may have done the best they could but that doesn’t mean they didn’t pass on dysfunction or trauma. Therapy works (especially CBT, DBT).

It’s only 70 degrees here in Richmond. Lows in the 50’s tonight. We’re so close 🍁

RFK needs to keep his ignorant + biased bullshit out of people’s mental health care.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

POV: Your cat can only sleep when she’s touching you (esp when she doesn’t feel well). Baby Kenna…She’s always been a hand holder. 🥹 #catsofbluesky Part of the @allthesecats.org rescue family who’s earned a permanent place in my heart + soul. Medically complex but resilient as hell. #cats #RVA

So cool.

😿 please reshare for the kitties 🐈‍⬛

By end of week, nonprofit will be out of $ + cat food. I’ve applied for grants, sent emails, done food drives. Everything has come to a halt this yr. *TY to those who do help. You know who you are.* ❤️ Not sure I can continue w/o miracle. 🙏 Going to rest w/Kenna whose tummy hurts @allthesecats.org

This is a scam account stealing other rescues photos. Please report/block.

I love Mandy Patinkin. Feed the people of Gaza. Stop Bibi the war criminal. Inshallah.

It’s me! your friendly neighborhood Lion. 🦁 I was abandoned at vet’s office but now I have a safe, happy place to live. Could you purrlease ck out our wishlist? I have hungry brudders + sisters in da house + out da house. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... Chewy list my.linkpod.site/allthesecats #cats
