This is me last month, walking the causeway toward St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall. Now I’m home in Pennsylvania. I want to figure out how to be two places at once so I can be with all of my people, all the time. ❤️

Zelenskyy is the bravest man I’ve ever seen. The Ukrainian people are the strongest I’ve ever seen. This American stands with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

Taking care of an animal brings me peace. This old man, Jasper, isn’t mine. I came to love him, though, over a few weeks watching him along with my man companion through @trustedhousesitters.bsky.com ❤️ #cats #catsofbluesky #tabbycat

I’ve heard that the Gower Peninsula is “the Cornwall of Wales.” Rhossili Beach proves it. This stunning spot made me so happy on such a cold day 😍🥶🌊

He resembles a slice of pumpkin pie. It’s Ger(ald), one of the many cats whom I’ve met on my travels. His brother, a fluffy version of him, is named Gin. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercats

I first thought it was fake. A parody account. Hahaha. Then I saw @mollyjongfast.bsky.social posted it, too. So I thought, ok she wouldn’t spread a fake.
Nevertheless: due diligence. The former journalist in me never wears off. So, ah, yeah. From his gray-check Xitter account. Urm.
What? Why? Help?

Yubi’s been sad — her best friend, Teagan the dog, passed away this year. In my cat au pair role, I’ve sat with her & her furry siblings several times the last 3 years. It was nice to see her excited to watch the birds, and to come over for a scratch behind the ear as she head bumped me. Sweet girl.

He’s my #1 Hall of Fame of My Heart pick. My old boy Jupiter — miss him every day but thankful he was my faithful friend. Who else among my friends new, old, and yet to be met can say their cat basically saved their sanity — maybe even their life?
