It hits hard, I think because I grew up in a time when as a girl just being allowed to be myself was not really a thing, and she showed me (and I'm sure countless other girls) that it was okay to be fully, unapologetically, beautifully, quirkily just who she was. The power in that. 🩵

Diane Keaton by Diane Keaton Date unknown

🕊️ Diane Keaton & Reggie 🐾

❤️❤️❤️

is it a coincidence that I was in the city shopping for hats on the day Diane Keaton died? RIP magnificent woman 💔

happy early halloween

yeah, sure, I can fast before a blood test, no problem! wait, NO DIET COKE????????? 😭

and why does my iPhone suddenly think I store all my passwords in Microsoft Authenticator, which is an app I HATE but must keep for business things, instead of its own app that does what I need?

why don't people understand I can't be out past 8pm on a weeknight? I start my day really early and a girl needs her sleep! 👵🏻

it's cool today, I've had kitten snuggles, the birds are chirping, there's a gentle breeze, and the leaves are pretty i 🧡 october

(I had to get the fake birds to go with the fake greenery, you see)

also, these are my pet dodo birds, say hello! 😹

oh hi darthie! 😻

greetings from this partial moon and blue sky from my patio 🩵

gonna get me every vaccine I can get this year, maybe make it a weekly thing!

💉

me: it was a stressful day in a stressful week in a stressful month, but at least I got out for a walk tonight my phone: your cardio fitness has gone down since yesterday me: I *SAID* I was stressed! you are not helping!

reminder of my one good hair day 🤣

according to the new york times, long hair is a big thing among trump's orbit, so do I have to shave my head now? :(

thanks for sticking around, monster cat

apparently it was nine years ago today that the monkeycat was diagnosed as having just one viable kidney (and also it was nine years ago today that he licked his veterinarian on the face)

but sometimes you get a decent kitten picture and you're proud of it forever

toughest photos to get ever! #kitteningishard 😹

not sure this "asking spam why they're calling" thing apple came up with is gonna be helpful

What staggering idiots…. Gift: https://wapo.st/3I5qLSY

um, might be proof I'm old, but I just bought this really very cool cardigan and it's edgy and fresh and they deliberately cut out the armpits? WAT.

oh, hey, I went outside again! 😹

oh, and if it wasn't clear, I find Kirk to be abhorrent, just am musing about our general loss of how we see reality (or don't)

Anyway, back to cats. This wacko is fourteen years old and thinks he's still a pup. It's madness!

This has been my biggest fear about how we can move forward for a while now. Our very realities have severed. My family in Iowa never see the news that I see, so in their understanding Kirk was a good man, where I can see a more complex picture of a man who had very dangerous flaws.

Not the worst day ever tbh.

kitten blob! 😻

It's worth asking why every elite institution is issuing statements like this rather than pointing out the obvious fact that the institutional right commits and glorifies violence far more than the left. Is there a reason you feel you can't say that out loud? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

Someone just reminded me of this classic intellectual moment. P.O.C.C.N.R. 🙄

Words for the Weekend 🤠 Pick your winner ⭐️ A B C D

there was a school shooting near here today, and I wonder if it made the news outside of Colorado, because there was another shooting how long till we all become so numb to this we lose our humanity?

I design places, and I really like darth, who can uplift any moment. 😘

ah, the first little inkling of autumn! sitting here with the windows open, feeling a slight chill and it is absolutely divine 🍂🍁

Donald Trump’s rumored death raises new questions about Joe Biden’s health

and by the smell of autumn, I mean suede (and crisp air, rain, cider, chestnuts, all of the fall things except for pumpkin anything).

Not to brag, but I just tried on all the jackets I love but haven't been able to squeeze into in a couple of years, and I'm gonna love this suede-jacketed autumn!

it was a rough week, though. I sliced open my foot on tuesday, thought I might be going blind on thursday, and my boss pulled some nonsense yesterday that left me working an extra half day into my long holiday weekend, so I missed the news that the unwell dictator might be extra unwell

Oh. I missed the whole thing. Exciting. 🥴

RFK Jr joined the fight on deadly diseases on the side of deadly diseases.

so I'll need a prescription or potentially will have to drive to Wyoming for a vaccine? people who live with immune-compromised individuals are not eligible? #shitshow

it's just a quiet Tuesday evening, maybe I'll get in a workout after dinner OR maybe I'll drop a glass container and cut a gash out of my lovely foot! and then google whether I need a doctor 😹

me, this morning: WTF IS THAT HUGE BRUISE? AM I DYING? ten minutes later: girl, you're too old to help people move, you just took a heavy injury to your arm, be quiet 🤣

look, I admit it. I have a legging addiction. I spend my life either in them or obsessing over when I can get back in them. I have enough to clothe my whole neighborhood in them. and I am not sorry! I think I need more. (truth is I just bought two more)

I was incredibly worried about quicksand as a child.
