Another concrete #Caturday poem, this one by J.R.R. Tolkien. #NationalPoetryMonth #Poetry “Cat”

This Ars Poetica, written 80 years ago, is a meditation on what poetry must become in the modern world I like the theatrical metaphors & the suggestion the reader becomes more actively engaged in the poetic connection. ‘the poem of the act of the mind’ #Poetry #Poemoftheday #Nationalpoetrymonth

Hello, dear Bluesky friends. As most of you know, I’m close to my parents. I’ve been so blessed to have them in my life for 90+ years. My Mom has taken a turn for the worse. It’s happened so fast. Nothing is eminent but I’m spending a lot of time with her and helping give my Dad breaks. We are…

I’m just going to drop this here. Usually Randy Rainbow’s videos are hilarious. This time, poignant and angry. If you don’t like certain language or are easily offended, look elsewhere. To me, this hits the mark: youtu.be/UmOrAA3jjks

Goodnight, lovely Bluesky friends! Early day with Mom tomorrow. I’ll try to catch up tomorrow evening. Abby and I wish you sweet dreams and a good night’s rest. 😴 I might have spoken too soon! Well, Abby is happy to stay up with you. Silly sweetie that she is. 😻😽

Start your week with some Cornish calm, and the magic of Kynance Cove. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #Cornwall #ocean #beach #sea #sky #nature #calm #peace #mindfulness #photography

Whatever our advances as humans, what we need more as a species than anything else, is love. May your light shine on, Carroll. A beautiful moment from the Artemis II crew. ❤️

Okay. I don’t like to post political stuff but this is the best summation of the whole enchilada as it stands at 8pm Eastern. Oops, meant to say, “TACO” with complete capitulation on It’s part.

omg this is real, and they nailed it😂. I get the sense the crew is having a good time together (three of the four have spent months on ISS so are very comfortable in space).

Goodnight lovely Bluesky friends. Abby and I have a busy day tomorrow playing Easter bunny in the morning then the afternoon with the whole family. Actually Abby is relaxing with her small stuffed bunny and I’ll be out but I can’t quite trust her with the phone yet. Hugs to all! 🕊️🐇🐣😺😽 🤗 😴

Best #Caturday post EVER 😹

Happy #Caturday, friends! Today we have a bit of wordplay in a concrete poem by Gemma Lovewell. #NationalPoetryMonth #Poetry

Is the oft-cited phrase “May you live in interesting times” a blessing or a curse? Here’s Brian Bilston’s answer. @brianbilston.bsky.social

I’m going to be posting a poem a day for 30 days to celebrate National Poetry Month in the U.S. Some are poems you may have read before, but generally I’ll be highlighting ones not widely known. Comments are welcome and much appreciated. #Poetry #NationalPoetryMonth

I’m avoiding social media, which for me is just Bluesky, because I’m not a fan of April Fool’s Day pranks. I shall return anon. But for those who celebrate the first day of the month: Rabbit Rabbit!

I don’t usually quote biblical passages, in fact, with some notable exceptions, I can’t but: “All who draw the sword, will die by the sword” -Jesus. The Gospel of Matthew 26:52

Early night for me, friends. Abby has run me ragged, which I love. Ragged is how I feel and ragged often 🟰 grumpy. 😂 Some snuggle time with Abby & a good book awaits! 🤗🥰😽

Goosebumps all over: Bravo to these protesters dressed as #Handmaids, some w/ taped lips, naming the abusers, rapists, & pedophiles. Not only Trump, Musk, & #Epstein; Woody Allen, Branson, RFKjr, Paul Allen, et al. Sound UP plz! The Hanging Tree song adds to the power & message. #NoKings #Gilead

Miss Abigail has informed me that before I hit the road, I must spend the remainder of my time playing with her. ‘Tis only fair. She gives me a lot of time on Bluesky.

@montisboeher.bsky.social Obviously Ziti has contributed to your expert status. 😹

Good Morning, friends! Enjoying one of the last days of cool weather and low humidity. The great, overgrown Crepe Myrtle outside my bedroom window helps screen the deforestation further out. The birds are flocking to the feeders and Abby enjoys them from a safe distance. A mug of tea, Abby and me 💕

Happy #Caturday to all my lovely Bluesky friends. Abby is sending along a photo of her favorite toy, “Mousie”. I’m hoping to capture a video of her keeping Mousie in the air as if he was a soccer ball. She’s too fast for me! We have multiple Mousies since I have to hunt them down! 😂

‘Im not sure what you said but Fred here is off his meds and more than a little on edge. You better just apologize since I don’t think you want me letting him open up a can of whoop-ass on ya.’

Really impressive. Imagine the planning that went into this.

The regime is counting on your exhaustion. 😮‍💨 Your neighbors are counting on your presence. 🤝 3,000+ events this Saturday. Choose your side. March 28. #NoKings2026

Abby and I have enjoyed our visits today, my friends. Off I go to do ‘grownup things’ while Abigail holds down the fort. Send a little rain our way if you can. TTFN!

I have loved this since I first saw it many years ago now 😍

How can this go on for another 3 years?
