#AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZany Just outside the Italian town of Capalbio is the Tarot Garden of Niki de St. Phalle. This Saturday was my 4th visit. It never ceases to be astounding!

It's #Caturday in Montemerano which is a tiny beautiful borgo in Maremma that loves cats. Check out the painting with a hole for cats in its church!

Happy #Caturday from Venice where a few cats have turned up to say ciaomeow

Currently stealing hearts at the Venice Biennale these three seagull babies enjoying the pool at the Venice pavilion ❤️❤️❤️

I know it's #caturday but I FINALLY saw Mimmo, the dolphin living in the Venice lagoon for almost a year now! 🐬😍💦

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWater #Venice water everywhere, even in the Polish pavilion of the Biennale (my favorite) 💦💦

Have to share a taste of the Holy See pavilion at the Venice #Biennale where a curated soundtrack accompanies you in a monastery garden walk. So restorative and peaceful!

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVocal Hey did you know I sing with a swing orchestra based in Milan and we have an album coming out in a couple of months? It's called www.movietunes.it

Happy #Caturday from Venice where this orange cat greeted me with a leg rub. So far Rufus has stayed out of trouble back home. Feronia also is quite content to share a corner of the bed with my cat sitter.

#Caturday on vacation in #Venice where the rare cat sighting on a windowsill catio happened right around the corner from my apartment, and the tiny glass cats from Murano are very tempting

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUniforms My nephew getting his PhD in Matrials Science and Engineering at UMD this week got hooded by his advisor at the ceremony ❤️👏🎓

#WeekSforSongs #AlphabetChallenge Creatura Naturale on Tosca's new album Feminae. It drops on the 22nd but I luckily got it at Rome's launch event on vinyl 👏🎼🇮🇹💿

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

For #Caturday a throwback from 2 years ago when Rufus was trying to be a blanket for Feronia. Hard to believe they turn 3 in August! 😻😻

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforReflections #Venice #Venezia The crypt in San Zaccaria has a thin veil of laguna water and an extra special mystical quality 💦🇮🇹

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekQforQueens Chess matches in Queens NY (don't lose your queen!) 👑

Per last week's #Caturday post about Rufus eating a ribbon - expert vet team extracted it intact without surgery! Poor Rufus had to endure two trips in the carrier. All better now.

Thought for #Caturday is they seem so peaceful but then Feronia looks at me as if to say can you believe my stupid brother ate a piece of ribbon?

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPurple #CahlnDzaun #LauraRamoso Her Italian airline ticket agent Chiara just cracks me up! Seeing her live show in Milan June 3rd. 😂👏❤️ www.instagram.com/reel/DLfs0nm...

Happy #Caturday with my inseparable pair of littermates Rufus and Feronia who are the latest addition to my bookshelves when not in the penthouse cat condo. 😻😻

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLayers In the hill town of Marino south of Rome, where underground caverns of peperino rock were used to store wine, a frescoed Mitra from Roman times was discovered just decades ago under layers of walls. Workman's hammer destroyed the face but the rest is intact!

While I've been in Vigevano for work, Rufus and Feronia invaded the guest room where my friend is staying while I'm gone. Traitors, or just friendly cats? #Caturday a day late. Enjoy Bramante's beauty.

OK you can all be jealous now, I am in #Milano and at #LaScala for dance! 👏🎼😍🥰❤️😘🩰

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKaput Two marble statues in Tivoli from Hadrian's Villa. The Amazon warrior lost her head. (and arms)

#Caturday feeling lazy and lounging but it's #carciofi season in #Rome so better get cooking 🍽️🍷😻😻

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJuxtaposition in the island of #Burano near #Venice houses are painted in contrasting bright colors so that fisherman could easily identify their home even in foggy weather

Feronia and Rufus chilling in the condo penthouse waiting for #Caturday which means turkey is on the menu 😻😻

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforInteriors #Venice At the Carlo Scarpa ground level space of Fondazione Querili Stampalia (wonderful museum) where gondolas frequntly pass by 🇮🇹 😍

#Caturday remedy for calming down while bombs drop on Iran: Rufus and Feronia photographed by my friend Gina (Feronia ftw w/profile pose!) 😻😻

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekHforHs #headshot Recently discovered photo booth pic of me when I had arrived in Florence for a year of study abroad in college that was lifechanging 🇮🇹 ❤️

#alphabetchallenge #weekGforGames #Tarot #Carnevale Did you know that the tarot cards were used as a game during carnevale in Italy before the start of Lent? They were then burned on the bonfire the day before. These are a limited edition from Milano, 1988. I ❤️Terpsichore!

Happy #Caturday Valentine's Day! 😻🌸🥰😻🌺😍

Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in hearing room to stand and raise hands if they still haven't been able to meet with Bondi's DOJ. Every single one of them doe. Jayapal then gives Bondi an opportunity to apologize. She responds by trying to attack Jayapal and Merrick Garland but doesn't apologize.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal insisting despite rude interruptions with her quest to get Bondi to turn to Epstein victims in the room and apologize for lack of redactions - more of this please!! 👏💔 #EpsteinFiles @jayapal.house.gov
