Almost 10 years ago we found a cat living in storm drains with her kittens. We thought she was feral and planned to TNR her. She clearly was not. The split pic is only a year difference. And now she is a spoiled queen. Don’t just pass cats by - they are gifts.

@bobbyberk.bsky.social howdy stranger - if you are coming to town for the holidays let’s have shenanigans 💙

My cats meows up the stairs at bedtime - if I meow back she runs up the stairs to get bed with me. If I don’t she waits for me on the couch.

Do I speak cat?
Or has she trained me?

Recovering from surgery by binge watching Without a Recipe - my dedication to @try-guys.bsky.social was always based on @keithhabs.bsky.social and @korndiddy.bsky.social anyway.
They are the platonic BFFs every Midwest millennial lady wanted growing up *chefs kiss at the Girl Scout Cookie episode

I personally believe books can be categorized as the following:

Books to enrich your mind (classical lit, philosophy)

Books to teach you something (non fiction, self help)

Books for entertainment (most fiction)

Had surgery yesterday so picking back up…

Carson is not impressed with the cabinet picks #dachshund

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Everyone else doing the 20 days of impactful books on #booksky : here is this masterful piece of literature

Me: I read this book in 4th grade and I think about the little boy hiding in a cabinet while his grandparents got murdered far too often 35 years later 🫣
