Another reason not to vote Pratt for mayor of Los Angeles

After reading a bunch of Slow Horses books, I decided to read the real deal: The Moscow Rules. #booksky -Murphy is right. -Never go against your gut. -Always listen to your gut; it is your operational antenna. -Everyone is potentially under opposition control. -Etc.

I grew up in a beach community in San Diego, swimming, racing sailboats and latter surfing, so my first thought was California Girls from the Beach Boys. #LookAndSee #MusicChallenge #MusicSky youtu.be/DR2lvcdKSdU?...

Here’s the real difference: Xavier Becerra is a longtime proponent of single-payer healthcare. The other candidates are just catching up to where he’s always been.

After watching Lila cat go on the bathroom counter, Clementine decided to figure out the appeal. She almost got it! There is so much still to learn after spending her first 12 months at the Kitten Rescue shelter in Los Angeles. #Caturday

Last night my new kitten joined us to sleep for the first time. I role over and my older cat is: “Humans…whatever.” Clementine’s reaction was: “No moving! I’m out of here!” Although she did come back.

I just finished another canvas for Nithya Raman for mayor of Los Angeles. Nithya is also my city councilwoman and I’ve been very happy with her policies and constituent services. If you want to know more, follow the link or respond to my post. www.nithyaforthecity.com

This happened early this morning! I was told that Clementine was a cat’s cat and might never sit on me, but she lied on my legs (under the blanket) with Lila cat on the bed too. Day 24 in the house is going great.

Guess where I am tonight?

While there are those who protest and host observation hubs for mobile community watch, several local artists are showing solidarity through their work, recognizing that art can be revolutionary. The full story: lataco.com/anti-ice-tat... By Izzy Ramirez

The new model for a cat rollercoaster

I rewarded Lila cat with a new bed from Pawsome Couture that she can lie on top of or crawl inside. It’s already a big hit!

This made me think of The Godfather, so here is a traditional Sicilian folk song that was sung in the movie: Che La Luna Mezzo Mare. #LookAndSee #MusicChallenge #MusicSky BTW, my nonna was Sicilian! youtu.be/n9FMvfvkBro?...

Some AI tools are getting dumber and more expensive.

Lila cat and my new kitten Clem are so close to becoming buddies!

I was thinking about going go a Dodgers game with friends but… 1. it’s super expensive now (as a kid we paid $12) 2. Dynamic pricing means they might be price gouging you. I’d rather go to a nice restaurant where I know everyone is charged what the menu says.

Clem cat made a very important milestone today… She jumped into her very first box from Amazon. #Caturday

At yoga today, one song after the other fit with the last being Landslide: “I took my love, I took it down Climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills 'Til the landslide brought me down” #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #LookAndSee youtu.be/WM7-PYtXtJM?...

This is the type of mom that I have. She does things like sends a Mothers Day card on behalf of my cats.

Tomorrow I will celebrate my mom and sister, but tonight I want to send my love and virtual hugs to all the other women who struggle with this holiday because of the loss of their mother or a mother figure, or because of the loss of a child, or one or more pregnancies (like I experienced).

Congratulations to @ivan-ehlers.bsky.social who was named a Pulitzer Prize finalist in Illustrated Reporting and Commentary. Ivan's work was recognized for "extraordinary range, deft artistry and powerful commentary." We couldn't agree more! See Ivan's art—including nominated work—on lataco.com.

I love that @lataco.bsky.social is humanizing those who died because of the immigration raids.

I listened to this interview earlier today, and I loved what AOC said. We need politicians who aspire to help people rather than become powerful!

Somehow a one hour mandatory university training feels like two hours when most of the modules don’t apply to social scientists / statisticians. I may need more coffee to finish the day.

Clem cat is quite the hurdler and has become very independent about coming out of and into her room on her own. This was right after she investigated the whole living room and kitchen for the first time.

The first thing that came to mind was Cat Stevens (because of the cat) and then his song Morning Has Broken, because I imagine the cat is prowling just before the dawn. This is what happens when I don’t take breaks during work! #LookAndSee #MusicChallenge #MusicSky youtu.be/DmAOBosGlHY?...

You’ve probably heard a lot about Democrats getting “locked out” of the California general election for governor this year. But my colleague at 50+1 Mary Radcliffe shows why this is equally or more likely to happen to Republicans: open.substack.com/pub/fiftyplu...

I have to give a shout out to my veterinarian’s office. They sent me flowers in condolences of my cat Chloe who I lost last month. It made me cry a lot, but it is a beautiful thing.

A bit of happiness came up in my memories today: a photo of the sunset on Kamala Beach in Phuket, Thailand. I took this in 2023 when visiting my brother from another mother and his family. #photosky #travelsky #photography

Tonight I am supporting Nithya Raman at the Los Angeles mayoral debate with mayor Karen Bass.

Before Star Wars day ends… My favorite memory is playing Star Wars video games w/ my nephew and him asking how I knew about Boba Fett. My first Halloween costume I chose was Leia w/ the hair and all. Somewhere I have a combo Star Wars book & vinyl. My older brother spoiled the big reveal for me.

Lila and Clem cat just had their first meet out of the safe room after Clem decided to escape and explore. But she’s a good little girl and went back inside on her own.
