Penelope is unsure that you really mean this, so she insisted I double check. Lucy came along to verify your response.

Ethel is either plotting my demise or just really pissed at me for waking her up. #cats

It’s the Nazi playbook here. There’s more evidence: speeches accusing the Jewish people of crimes; declaring Germany should be for Germans, not outsiders. It is clear Trump is planning his own migrant holocaust if he wins and the only thing that will save you is being both white AND a Trump devotee.

As per usual, a day late and a dollar short, but I’m here now!

Had the pleasure of watching #Husker football beat up on Colorado at the game in Lincoln. Then I went home and ordered this shirt from #Raygun.

You should know their names. And faces, where possible. So I grabbed this screenshot. Again, this is the work of historian Donna Rae Pearson and her team. #history #womenshistory #blackhistory #blackwomenshistory

Happy Birthday, L. M. Montgomery. Thank you for all the amazing girls and women you created, most of all Ann with an e. And to the incomparable Megan Follows for bringing Anne Shirley to life!

I was going to get up and do some work around the house. Ethel had other plans. #cats #CatsOfTwitter

Happy National Cat Day from these 3. Lucy is out cold. Penelope is sporting her fake smile and Ethel is trying to figure out the noises I’m making. #CatsOfTwitter

I’m enjoying this amazing fall sangria at @LincolnARTnSOUL today. And if you saw me grading too, no you didn’t!

I have the best friends. I was supposed to go on a quilt retreat this weekend, but couldn’t because I’ve been sick. So they made a Flat Tonia and are sending me pictures so I’m there with them in spirit.

This has been a very hard week. On Tuesday my sweet Pippi went over the rainbow bridge to join her sister Patches. My heart is broken at the loss of these loves who have filled my heart and home the last 13 years. Penelope and I are both feeling a little lost. #cats
