We need a word for the practice of lying in bed with cold feet because your cat is hogging the bed throw & somehow it feels criminal to disturb their sleepy sweetness. Though it’s possible that the word for this concept exists in cat language & it is “sucker.” #Caturday

Flashback to when baby Fern ate Mark Doty. Apparently, he’s the most delicious poet.

BUT *technically* I’m sitting on a kitchen towel, so my ass is definitely not on the counter. Defense rests!

Official greeter at the Missouri winery. (Also, happily surprised by just how good some of their wines have gotten.) #Caturday

Just thought, “Gotta take that janky mattress topper to the curb…” (But who uses their hallway anyways, right??)

Lorre and Chaon fan of the highest order here too. Your beautiful essay soothed my anxious heart. ❤️

Only Houstonians will understand when I say I went to Central Market *on a Sunday afternoon* just for my deep love of Korean sweet potatoes. Nearly got into a fistfight with some River Oaks golf knob at the produce sticker machine. Totally worth it. Come to me, my beauty. 💜

As people repost “portraits” of Anne Boleyn (since today is the anniversary of her crowning as queen), *this* is the closest thing we have to (probably) an accurate image of her. Because her husband had her murdered & erased. Worth pondering in our particular (anti) historical moment.

After dinner walk. The sunset disdains our filters. Sometimes the world is so beautiful it stops you in your tracks.
