My poor cat Pax just got the news: #CaturdaySaturday is heretofore cancelled due to unnecessary wit.

Love is free. Truth is free. I'm gonna go grab some today.

Seems like we all need some kittens - lots of kittens - this #Caturday. Here's baby Pax, pure of heart. ☮️☮️☮️

A flowering palm: thank you, fall weather, for inviting me out and showing me your treasures. Happy Friday, everyone.

My Seabreeze Bamboo was half a foot high when I planted it. Five years later . . . 😲 . . .

From my backyard to yours. Happy Wednesday. 💜

On this gusty morning, the storm clouds scuttled by, showing me how the clear blue sky always abides underneath. May your day be this peaceful. 🩵

I hope you have a great crow-waving, cat-talking, river-thanking week, y'all! #mondaymotivation

This #Caturday, Ruby would like to share the things she doesn't give a f*** about . . . and suggests you do the same. 😼

Sharing my morning dose of bird song and the ocean's roar. May your day be this peaceful.

This woman was recruited and groomed by Epstein at age 16. She was a child. Yet at age 18, she was charged as a co-conspirator, and faced more fallout from his crimes than he did. These women are being punished and reviled for being his victims if they were a day over seventeen. It makes me sick.

Kicked off September by watching this red-tailed hawk dine on entrails in my oak tree this morning. How was YOUR breakfast?

Move along, folks, nothing to see here . . . just another coffee machine, a coffee machine that sits on the counter, which is the coffee machine's god-given right. Cup of attitude, anyone? #CaturdaySaturday

It takes about 1249 photos to get one that looks like my profile pic. In other words, I am Hank. 😍

Someone tell my human to never wake me early on a #caturdaysaturday, okay? OKAY?

Or maybe you could teach your kids to treat all people as deserving of respect and dignity. And maybe you could talk to your kids about homelessness, the unaffordability of housing and healthcare, the stigma around mental illness, and why it's not okay to call people crazy.

I don't know . . . I'm pretty convinced there are a lot of people out there who are much more normal than me. 😜

Morning pages, with a little inspiration thanks to my offspring (and Sheryl Crow!) 🖊📒🖤

Morning moon.

Gorgeous! I'm always down for some #bloomscrolling. Happy Tuesday!

I made a nervous friend in New England. Happy August! #RabbitRabbit

". . . rising out of the ocean like a middle finger to CO2."😆

I don't know who posted this, but they might be my soulmate.

I'm sliding back into social media after a nice, long break. How's everyone doing out there? Oh, and this is Pax. Eyes like marbles, right? #happywednesday #everydayiscaturday

Nice selection. 😂

Just me, shamelessly using my 59th birthday as an excuse to celebrate this news again. Keep going, okay? #WritingCommunity #DebutNovel #WritingLife

Today, Ruby recommends you rest your paws and survey your kingdom with disdain.

This red-tailed hawk graced my morning. Just look at her incredible focus: it's pretty clear she's never had an iPhone.

Currently in the Tea Stage. 😭

Exciting news from @mollyakin.bsky.social . . . and a great excuse to order another book. 📚

I've been offline working on an exciting revision, but this #Caturday, I'd like to share a photo of the cake I made for daughter's birthday. Not seen? The layer I had to trim because Pax the Cat nibbled on its edges.

I never say no to a lovely slice of gorgeous and apocalyptic doom. @thaddevassie.bsky.social

Happy Monday from the squirrel to which I fed an almond because squirrels are underrated.

This piece is so moving . . . and heartbreaking, too. @mrsfanster.bsky.social @identitytheory.bsky.social

Whoa, look at what FOUR lines of poetry can do. Powerful.

Guess who's back? (I heard its sibling deeper in the park, but momma was nowhere to be seen. I guess they're officially teenagers now.😄)

Well, my sweet owl family has headed elsewhere (in search of new food for those growing babies, I imagine), but the solo duck I encountered a few weeks ago has just reappeared--with a girfriend! Fingers crossed for ducklings!!

This morning's baby owl update: it doesn't seem possible, but their heads are getting even fuzzier. 🦉🙂🦉

Last night, I was watching the two baby owls in my yard when this lady swooped over my head, landed in a branch across from them, and kept a very close eye on me until l left. Momma Power. 🦉💪

Yesterday's owl was . . . a baby! Honestly, it's like owl heaven over here.

I've dropped so many projects I should have finished. But writing now is always the best time to write. Right?

She's sixteen years old and doesn't give a flying fig about anything but food: Ruby, my #Caturday role model.

Hmmm, maybe I'll give this a last-minute try? So many great little stories here!

This morning's owl.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

As a the matriarch of a dragon-loving family, it's my duty to pre-order this adorableness, right?

#HappyEarthDay from this morning's amaryllis. 🌎

This lady was peacefully napping right outside my door this morning. 🤎

Today's hibiscus, from my yard to yours, from me to you.

The Lemur, when she was so little that every single collar was too big. #HappyCaturday #kittenjoy
