I took a big step recently and joined our community band. I’ve missed playing clarinet with a band since I graduated college. The vet does not appreciate me practicing 😂

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

Technically it’s still Caturday on the west coast. Benvolio says happy Caturday, even if it’s after midnight here

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is annoying me 😅! I need a blood moon for a shrike but am never near the pad during the stupid blood moon. Gah!

Grief really is strange. Was in the grocery store tonight and saw a man walking like dad, wearing a shirt like dad wore, and about the same age. Took all I had not to burst into tears. Saturday saw a couple with their son and the mom looked like my mom. Sigh. 😞

If the world’s a little loud tonight… you found the quiet frequency. #WINK — Zalindi’s number one station.

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday If today gets difficult try & remember the way sunlight dances on a window, the sound of your favourite person’s laugh, the feeling when a song you love comes on The colour of the sky at dusk and that we’re here to take care of each other.

Every American needs to watch this:

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

A beautiful sunrise on my way to work this morning in Iowa. Mom’s favorite color was pink, so I like to think she and dad are watching from somewhere. #Iowa #sunrise #photography

I never though I would enjoy the sounds of eating....

Not a gamer but am enjoying Zelda Breath of the Wild. I die a lot 😂😂😂, but am still having fun! Now to sleep!

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday Kindness costs nothing, but it changes everything… so share it freely Sprinkle kindness like cat fur… absolutely everywhere

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

A snowy #Caturday night

Benvolio entertaining himself

I still remember one cold morning in 94 when Mom went out to warm up the car before school. I never turned down the radio. Mom came in and said all she heard was “ker thump, ker thump, ker thump” when she turned it on. This song always makes me smile because this was the song playing at the time.

I wanted dessert, Benvolio wanted to snuggle. He wins 😂😂

First Thanksgiving without Dad. Definitely missed him but it was also…relaxing. Not not being bossed by Dad, making sure Dad had his plate…only myself to mind. It was weird. Miss him and Mom (2018) like crazy but also was nice to relax and enjoy the day. Does that make me a bad daughter?

Benvolio and his wand toy on a lazy Sunday morning! Remember to step away from social media so you don’t go insane with all the chaos. #cats #catsofbluesky

Tonight I had a question for Dad and was going to text him. That’s when grief sneaks up, because you remember that you can’t text. And he’s the one who’d know the answer to my question. Can I take a sauce pan into Menards to find a screw for the handle?

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DV1 “No Kings Day” 😃Friends, thank you for making it Peaceful, Powerful, and Fun. You’re beating the regime’s effort to frame it as hateful and violent. 🙏Stay Safe

Timeline cleanser! I got Benvolio this motion activated fish and he doesn’t like it. Doesn’t stop me throwing it for him to play with. Here we see his attempt to gently roll away without activating it. 😂

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Poor Ravioli has been at the shelter for a long time. 💔 He's very handsome and wants affection badly, but he's prone to getting overstimulated. Posting in hopes that maybe a quiet, cat-savvy person in Vermont might see this! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

This is amazing. A road map for democrats. And yes, this is about reforming the Dem party, not abandoning it. “We wanted to rebuild a coalition that had frayed over years of disappointment and neglect. To win people back to a Democratic Party that puts working people first.” Here’s how:

I was tonight years old when I learned that it #deathwishcoffee comes in whole bean and 16oz bags in my local grocery store 🥰😱

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

@kwiktrip.bsky.social Uhm…your Kona dark roast coffee is good. I don’t usually go for dark roast, but the Colombian machine was done. This is a new favorite!

I feel like I just keep not doing anything right. And now this. I know it’s not my fault but it sort of is, adjacent. Sigh. And why didn’t they just ask yesterday? 😕🥺😩

Family includes everyone! ❤️

#writingcommunity hive mind: best ways to research indie publishers? Still editing and have a long way to go, but am curious what resources are out there now similar to Writer Beware, etc.

I feel like he has higher priorities than a different TV. But what the fuck do I know/

Editing Carla for the upteenth time and staring at a plot problem. I'm starting to unravel it, but as with any such problem, there are snags. Hrm. #writing #urbanfantasy

If you give a cat a box…Benvolio enjoyed my tote while his Other Human updated our books list tonight. #catpics #Iowa

Good job 😂

I hate admitting when things hurt but my hip has reached uncomfortable stage. My hips are full of arthritis and I have sciatica in both hips. I can handle it, my 2 is most people’s 10, but it still sucks. And it sucks more admitting discomfort :(

Don't hate me. I voted for her.

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take. It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨ #ClassicTV #FunFacts

Hey, you. Writer person. Artist person. Creative type. Yes, you. You're awesome. I'm proud of the work you're doing. Yes, even if you're struggling and not getting what you want done. You're bringing so much into the world. Take the time it needs. 💙
