Sitting on my balcony in the “Lucky Country”under glorious big (but cloudy) skies as cockatoos call their friends home to roost, I can’t really know what you are feeling in the USA. I hope you are ok 💕🌸 and you know that others in this world are here for you and share your grief a little. We care!
I searched for “Cats” in my iPhotos looking for a particular sweet brown Burmese cat. Scrolled through the results …. Wait what? Apparently, I was once galloping across Irish fields and generally having a blast riding … A CAT 😹🏇

CDC Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Transmission Between Cats and People
The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

This is true.

I’m sure we could sneak in another one or two others though. What I’m trying to say is that chocolate is a most wonderful invention…

Why oh why do I still swim over in that Xewer where the hate and more hate and nazi sludge just won’t flush. It reeks & bubbles & cooks….

So here is the absolute antithesis of that!

Enjoy 💕

Ok so in here, if I post anything about USA politics (I’m not American but a concerned Global citizen) then I will try to follow with a timeline cleanser. So here is somewhere pretty I visited in Sydney the other day 😎🎨

A must watch!
RFK, Jr. has spent the last 20 years speaking out against vaccines.

But he claims he's not anti-vax.

Is he right?

Yet another reason for us to care about the impacts on wars in other countries. The knock on blows fall hard on the vulnerable thousands of km away. 😔
We can all act, even in small ways.
Not only are Russia’s unrelenting attacks on Ukraine’s agricultural production & infrastructure causing widespread hunger in Ukraine, Russians are reducing Ukrainian grain exports to Africa, exacerbating food insecurity & hunger in Africa www.thewhig.com/opinion/russ... @geoffypjohnston.bsky.social
Russia attacks Ukraine, weaponizes hunger
Ever since Russia launched an unjustified full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, the Putin regime has weaponized hunger by attacking Ukrainian agriculture.

Ok Aussies and anyone else on this fine blue planet, what Aussie animal could be the mascot for ADHD? I’m creating some characters and Kookaburras don’t really fit the bill - too chilled and let’s face it a little dumb .. but they do hyper focus and laugh a lot. Please leave a suggestion! 🙏🏻

But the question still remains - Can you have your cake and eat it too?
An empty cake plate:

A glutton blames the cake for being so tempting.
A narcissist ate your cake cuz it was too good for you anyway.
A hedonist thanks the inventor of cake.
A gaslighter insists there never was a cake.
A martyr sighs and bakes another cake since everyone ate all the cake, AGAIN.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

We all carry our own invisible scars. Each of us has faced trauma in some form, including the trolls; perhaps the trolls most of all & then they/we traumatise others. I wonder why we all chose a certain “way”. How do we listen to the hateful. How/Who can heal the trauma? 🌸 💙
