I have hesitated to use the word "atrocities" in describing events in the US, as that word in my mind captures the most vile parts of human history! But in a modern-day democracy, with a complex modern-day economy and a generally well-educated population, I think it's past the tipping point!

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social I’m lazing around on this Sunday.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social I was getting ready to go to bed but my tummy was rumbling. That’s why you find me here eating a hamburger from the vending machine. The blanket keeps me warm.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social I am a bit late because I was weighted down by the takeout bags. I was almost turned away at the portal. The bags are for anyone who didn’t get one at the cafe. Only one is for me.

#HWCafe @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #hedgewatch @sofin.bsky.social I invited Rosalie and Rigo to come on the same portal as me. We were quite cold during the flight so we really need a nice cup of tea.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social @rachelgoes262.bsky.social Here are Jolene, Simon and Flower having a cup of hot tea and enjoying a cup of tea.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #floofyFriday Time to air out your floof, the weekend is coming!

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #friend This is a neighborhood frienf. We call him Red because he has a red collar. He comes over occasionally to check on me,

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #whiskersWednesday To add insult to injury, or the freezing temperatures, we had a minor earthquake last night. It’s nothing major, 3.7 and mum didn’t even feel it (she was snoring at 11:30pm). But let’s have a few normal days!

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #tongueout No amount of inducement can make me show my tongue today. I’m afraid my tongue will freeze if i put it out. Temps are -13C feels like -23.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #snowmageddon Oreo reporting on how much snow fell during the storm. Image left was taken before, image right taken after. The newspaper says it’s anywhere from 50 to 60cm in southern Ontario. We are fine and warm.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social All that dancing at Burns Night tired me out so. This Morning I can only play half in and half out of bed.

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_6974f602... #HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #burnsnight Now Jolene, Simon and Flower are dancing.

sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_6974e777... #HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #burnsnight After the food, I am invigorated.

sora.chatgpt.com/p/s_6974e0ef... #HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #burnsnght Here I am dancing.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #burnsnight I have arrived in the village hall and I am just going over some of the steps so that I can dance and impress when my friends arrive.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #burnsnight @rachelgoes262.bsky.social Jolene, Simon and Flower have arrived at the village hall. It’s cold outside so they are waiting for their friends inside.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social @rachelgoes262.bsky.social I invited Jolene, Simon and Flower to come for the fitting of their kilts. I hope it’s okay if they come to #burnsnight tomorrow’s.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #burnsnught Mum and I took out my McSossidhe outfit, washed and ironed it. I’m now ready!

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #catnoirFridsy ? Mum thought she would do a cat noir Friday post, but I don’t think I look any different, do I? I was “noir” from the day I was born.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #TBT My very first picture after I came home. That’s mum’s chair. It became mine on that day.😺😺😺😺

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #whiskersWednesday It’s snowing again, another 10cm this morning. I will stay home and admire my own whiskers.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #tongueoutTuesday A big yawn for all the floofs on #tongueoutTuesdsy.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #kittyloafMonday I am a dark loaf, maybe pumpernickel?

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #Winniethepoohday Me dressed as Pooh in the Canadian winter. Didn’t you know Pooh was originally from Winnipeg, Canada?

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social Now more of us are in the picture and eating cake.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social @rachelgoes262.bsky.social Jolene, Simon and Flower are here too and they also have nip tea.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social Huff huff! After falling off a couple if times, I made it to the lounge. Rosalie, Rigo and Sunny were already here and had ordered nip tea for all of us. Sunny, however, wanted cake.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social Do I enjoy the box or my Christmas present more?

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #snowgauge 24 hours ago, there was no snow on the table. This is now.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #bagelday Mum made these bagels. She said we could share them.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #snowday This is a major snow day. We expect to get 40 cm of snow today.

Hey Sunny, I texted your mum and she’s given me permission to take you kite flying. She even sent me some money to buy you a kite. We must be back home before she comes home.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #kiteday How do you like my kite, Brock?

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social Oreo: Thanks Brock, for the treats. How are you doing up there?

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social Now a line has formed. All of us are waiting to kiss Imogen.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #kissaginger I am kissing Imogen. Here’s a picture to prove it.😻😻😻😻

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social Sorry this is a bit late, mum had to do the chores and the groceries. But we are no less thankful!

Thank you, #Hedgewatch for always being wholesome, inclusive, and inspirational. You have created a community at headquarters and #HWCafe that is without exception THE GOOD PLACE. (Pic is an oldie from the archives) Murray, the girl cat and Angel Ozzy

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #mouse No, we don’t have meeces in the house. It’s my mouse toy, here I am playing with it when it was new.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #mouse A mouse!!!!!

#HWCafe @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #hedgewatch #VET I have been captured and locked up! Mum said something about the vet and that we’ll come home. I’m not sure.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social @rachelgoes262.bsky.social We are Jolene, Simon and Flower. Oreo brought us here to the lounge. We have to wait until the cafe opens. We have a snack to munch on until then.

#HWCafe #hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social I’m here early with Sunny, Rosalia and Rigo because it’s an early cafe. So we will wait in the lounge until the cafe opens.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #jellybellyFriday Here’s me airing my floof. Have you aired yours ?

Google the video & see for yourself. This is not law enforcement. This is murder. Sickening.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social #hedgewatchfor @rosiemrsbear.bsky.social I dedicate today’s hedgewatch to dear Rosie. She will bring to the rainbow allotments all the love her friends and family have for her. Always missed, never forgotten.

#hedgewatch @hedgewatchers.bsky.social Here I am, made to look silly. Mum said the “blankie” will keep me warm. I think I look more like an armrest cover.
