If you’re not following Dave, you should. He’s on the ground, keeping us informed.

Forest Park, IL No Kings March, a small suburb 3 miles from Broadview. About 400 strong. Lots of solidarity from passing cars!

Rosie looking all spooky and stuff.

Go Cubs Go!

This is Eeyore. He led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10 (FB: OkaloosaSheriff)

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Shit got real for me tonight. Dropped off my friend near Chicago and hopped on the Eisenhower, westbound. Traffic was unusually backed up leading to 25th. All exits, east and west, blocked at 25th. Above, at least a dozen police vehicles lining 25th. 25th leads to Broadview. Police state. Fuck.

Rosie is feeling much better today than she did yesterday. Happy Caturday!

Dr. Jane Goodall

Way to go, Cubbies!

RIP, Dr Jane Goodall. Such an inspiring person.

Go Cubs Go!

Enjoying “false fall”, as Mother Nature does not heed the calendar. Rosie snoozing, a lupine bug that landed on my glasses, praying mantis egg sac we saved, and a Cooper’s hawk hunting squirrels.

Little Rosie is so exhausted after spending her weekend boarding at the vet. She’s trying to stay awake, but she just can’t. Sweet, sweet Rosie. 🥰

Excellent, insightful points made here. Take a moment to learn.

Walked in the woods today. Saw some wildflowers flowering, bees beeing, trees treeing, and leaves leaving. It was a lovely day.

Enjoying this #chicagobears game. They are fighting!

This is an excellent article, especially for those dealing with vaccine/COVID skeptics. A good read.

Watching the Pritzker presser, and it’s a doozy. That’s my governor!

Some day in the not too distant future, I’ll have to say goodbye to Rosie. The sweetest kitty I’ve ever known. I cherish every second that she must be touching the mama. ❤️

I’m not a huge tomato fan, but this thread is lovely. And I want to go there and eat tomato sandwiches.

My first day back volunteering at the forest preserve since I contracted Lyme did not disappoint! While removing giant invasive ragweed, we enjoyed observing wildflowers and butterflies, and snacking on wild blackberries. What a delightful day!

Does anyone have a natural way to rid my morning glories of mottled tortoise beetles? I pluck them when I find e, but they’re stealthy little buggers! #gardening

Rosie loves when we have company. Especially the HVAC guys. Supervisor Rosie, on duty!

Once again, Rover Rescue, Chicagoland’s best rescue, is having a barn sale this weekend! So many great treasures to find! Not just used items, but new items, too! Support pet rescue! Find your newest beloved treasure!

Haven’t posted in a while, because Rosie and I have had a rough go of it lately. A day after Rosie was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal lymphoma, I came down with Lyme disease. Keeping my little one as comfy as possible now. Mama’s pretty little kitty. ❤️🤟

If you’re in the Chicago area, might I suggest taking a day take a day trip to Oswego this weekend? Rover Rescue has saved over 12,000 pets over the years. The BEST rescue in Chicagoland! Largest fundraiser of the year! Never know what treasures you’ll find there. Maybe even a wild turkey!

Grateful to those who gave their all. Honor their sacrifices by defending our constitution, and the rights and freedoms they fought to preserve. Be strong, my friends. ❤️🤟💪

I just drove past a peaceful protest that lined a major thoroughfare and it went on for miles! Lots of cars honking in support. So many good, ordinary citizens standing up and speaking out!

I once interpreted a question to my deaf father, which really took me aback. “Do you think when you go to heaven, you’ll be able to hear?” Dad and I were stunned speechless. The implications of this question were deep. I still battle with this.

Sooo…the cardinals chose a White Sox fan, huh? IYKYK

Every day, little Rosie finds a way to melt my heart. My hand was over her paw. She pulled it out, and gently placed it on my hand. And continued sleeping peacefully. 🥰❤️🤟

Great thread! The more you know… 😁

Mama’s pretty little kitty has had a rough go of it lately. What we hoped was a URI turned out to be a rotting upper canine. Extraction and teeth cleaning today. Hopefully this resolves the bloody discharge, and she’s feeling much better!

One hell of a thread if you want picture after picture of Americans saying "fuck no" to Donald Trump's bullshit.

Rosie. Portrait of a pretty kitty.

I early voted today! I have to say, for a municipal election, with no referendums or big contests, I was impressed with the number of people who turned out today. People are paying attention. You love to see it! Oh, and the forsythia are in bloom!

Thought you might appreciate a little dose of Rosie today. ❤️🤟 #caturday

Tootsies and tail had to be touching today. 🥰

Snoozing Rosie. Must be touching the mama. 🥰

Let us continue to right the many wrongs that occurred. @lakotaman.bsky.social

I read the Atlantic article and thought, “I really should go fishing.”

This is one of my favorite movies. Any time I’m flipping through channels and see it, I’m landing. So true to the novellas, it gives me goosebumps. The story itself is just so… I can’t put it into words. 👍👍👍 ❤️🤟 #stephenking #thegreenmile

Guess who’s on antibiotics again. Oh, Rosie! 🥰 Her boogies are pink, so that’s concerning. Hopefully just irritated sinuses, and nothing more. Other than the boogies and the snorking, she’s acting normal. We got this, my little one! ❤️🤟

Double Indemnity on TCM right now! Love me some Missy!

I went fishing today! I didn’t even get a nibble. However, I did find these two poor, frightened juvenile raccoons in a dumpster. Not to worry. I notified the forest preserve, and the ranger helped them out!

Happy St Paddy’s Day! Here’s me at a pub in Ireland, 1993. And an Irish traffic jam! 😁☘️
