Too soon?

Very busy grooming her tail.

Parting shot of this rock star from last week… Costa’s Hummingbird on cholla skeleton 🪶☀️🌵 (sunrise reflection in bird’s eye)

Stuff that cracks me up.

That's nice of you Steve, but I suspect that sunflower is stolen, isn't it?

Back when they were wee and smol.

Arashi and Sora in full cat nap mode

These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

I love my new succulent plant! She’s so pretty!

now this one is a bird 🪶

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

Donation day at the hospital. Someone’s gonna get my A pos blood. 🧛🅰️🅱️🆎🅾️🩸

1/1 Arashis approve of the new bedspread. 😸🛏️

Happy HONK! Fest West weekend!

Happy HONK! Fest West weekend! 🥁🎺🪇🎷

What have my cats been up to, you ask….

Arashi giving me the stink eye for turning his nap on my clean, folded laundry into a paparazzi moment. 😆

When I visited my mother recently, I found that this was the page she had bookmarked in my recent book. Happy Mother's Day—to all moms. ❤️

It’s the tiny bag of tea in his mug that cracks me up. 😆

My Spanish lavender plant. 💜

May we all sleep as well as Sora.

dinosaurs 🦖

Yup. Nailed it. #seattle

Ladies and gentlemen, the weekend

Arashi

Roses and lavender from my balcony garden. I love Spring. 🌹🌷🌸

If you believe we are still living in the same US that conducted elections in November 2024, you are living in a dream. That America is gone. The one we are in now is not run by someone acting like a dictator—or, as Rachel Maddow claimed, “too incompetent” to be a dictator—but is the real deal.

What’s better than sitting in a box filled with paper trash in the sun? Nothing. Nothing is better than this. 😹

My overshare post. Perimenopause sucks. I have nothing good to say about it. Doing my best to manage the symptoms but I think I’m only at the beginning of this nonsense. 😾

Gray angel with the SMDH at us on Earth Day!! #grayangelfish #angelfish #smdh #earthday #closeup #coral #coralhead #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #biscaynebay #bfi #noaa #aoml #coralcity #civicpridethroughbiodiversity #glennnevis #coralcityfoundation #ccf #kbcf #keybiscaynecommunityfoundation

Another nice Costa Rican hummingbird, the tiny Violet-headed Hummingbird. At @tapirvalley.bsky.social #birds #hummingbirds #nature

Arashi vs the catnip mouse part deux: the terror continues 😉

Arashi vs the catnip mouse

My spring balcony garden. 🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🪻

From the time vaults. The day I met Sora for the first time. She could fit in my palm.

Well, if we’re going to live in a dystopian, authoritarian hellscape of a country, at the very least I will have flowers, dammit.

What’s that you say? You need to see more pics of my adorable cats? Done!

Here's Four Fists Uncurl from The Breadcrumb Trail, out now. I think the third stanza could be a standalone spring poem. Book links (or pm me for a signed copy) UK: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D6DNXHG4 US: amazon.com/dp/B0D6DNXHG4 CA: amazon.ca/dp/B0D6DNXHG4 DE: amazon.de/dp/B0D6DNXHG4 #poem #poems #poetry

My cats are cuter than your cats. 😉
