It’s nice to be able to see a Zamrock band from the 70s with the original frontman. A little bit of history and nostalgia.

Listening to this book by Marie-Helene Bertino and I’m filled will joy by the experience and sadness knowing it will end soon.

#showmeyourknits so this is crochet but I do both and it’s good to experiment sometimes. This journey was circuitous to say the least. I had spring in mind and I finished it just in time for fall. Does that sound familiar to anyone else out there?

Snubbing Kennedy, States Announce Plans to Coordinate on Vaccines www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u... We don’t need to follow you down your path of stupidity. Enjoy the flu season RFK.

Will the C.D.C. Survive? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h... Fears about low birth rates and now a swath of unvaccinated children will die and spread disease to elderly and immunocompromised folks. Well done RFK. This man gave himself mercury poisoning. Maybe his tanning will lead to cancer. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

This book was really great!

Walked by this old tbird and had to snap a photo. It was cherry.

Sometimes Penumbra will fake a backflip if she’s tired. Her real backflips are impressive and a bit unpredictable. #catsofbluesky

@claremackwrites.bsky.social #booksy I’ve been enjoying listening to this book which includes several Welsh words I’d have trouble pronouncing. Also there are lots of delectable characters. I’m already planning a reread down the road as I know I’ll be able to enjoy this on the second go round!

#showmeyourknits #catsofbluesky Penumbra oversee all my projects.

#fridayreads this was a fun, fantastical romp.

Two words that aren’t real words that I enjoy: 1)Missunderestimate 2)Disirregardless I try to toss them out there whenever possible just to get reactions! Most of the time nothing much transpires.

#fridayreads #booksy this is the 2nd cozy I’ve read and it helps to keep the bar high. Interesting etymologies scattered throughout that make it educational and entertaining; one of my favorite combinations

BREAKING: The creator of the ICEBlock app — which tracks ICE agents in real time — dares Donald Trump to arrest him. “Come after me. Demonize me all you want. I’m not backing down.”

@lauralippman.bsky.social I’m 95%of the way through a Mick Herron book, but I have to start this now because I’ve been looking forward to it so much! Listening to it at .90 speed to try and make it last. Grateful for Kimberly Farr’s talented narration.

Penumbra keeps the sofa warm for me. #bengalcats

When it’s time to cut some onions I don’t take any chances.

@emilystjams.bsky.social this book was so good. Full of tension that was followed by unexpected resolution. I loved Abigail’s asides, and the aptly named Constance’s insights. Everyone I know will be sick of hearing me gush about it a month from now. Thank you!

Putting this out there for #staunchwoman #staunchwomen everywhere.

While unloading the groceries I felt momentarily validated for buying carrots, and thought this week I will eat most of them.

As an unofficial Jr. I’m really glad to note the practice of naming children after their fathers is less fashionable these days. Allowing each person in the family their own goddamned name is really not too much to ask!

I got to visit the Yayoi Kusama Museum while in Tokyo. They don’t permit photos of most of the exhibits. This was the elevator!

#fridayreads @deliapitts50.bsky.social This book is so good! Lots of twists and turns pepper the plot, with a great main character leading the way. Performed by one of my favorite narrators, Bahni Turpin. Looking forward to the next installment in July!

The flowers around my neighborhood are putting on a beautiful show.

I have been thoroughly enjoying this book by @swierczy.bsky.social It is humorous, dark, and thoughtful in its approach. I especially like the bits about the nutter butters, very relatable. #fridayreads

#catsofbluesky penumbra loves her catnip. Behold the polka dotted belly of ecstasy.

This one is a good napping companion when she isn’t knocking books off shelves. #catsofbluesky

#Fridayreads I’m really enjoying this book by @chrisbohjalian.bsky.social While reading it I learned the origin of 4F which I then tried to explain to my partner as 4H oops!

This shelf is thoroughly organized: books, knitting accoutrements, happy kitty.

#subarubrat life sanctioned by #bettywhite so you know it’s good.

Spring’s arrival makes me happy.

#fridayreads I’m enjoying the second book in this series as much as the first! @brooklynzydeco.bsky.social
