I walked away from social media 6 months ago for my mental health. I came back and…shout out to all the photographers (and painters!) reminding us there’s still beauty.
Especially that one taking shots from a kayak. You made me happy sigh—been a while since I’ve done that.

I must remember this.
Good morning. The dance, whatever that means to you, is worth fighting for.
“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.

I’m in tears.
El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Long overdue, I went to the eye doctor today and ordered new glasses. Because if I’m gonna be forced to witness the downfall of a civilization, I’m damn well gonna make sure I can SEE it. The hellscape will be clear now; serious doubts this will help relieve the constant headache, though.

A therapist finally responded to me and now I have an appointment and at long last I can take this show of existential crisis and crippling anxiety to someone else’s couch.

Sometimes I look at my cat and think, “GOOD GOD HE IS SO CUTE I COULD DIIIIIIIIIE.” And that, friends, is the entire reason I live. (Full disclosure: adopted Ollie for his looks, because it sure wasn’t for his brains and his personality is…odd. Sweet, simple, but odd. 🤣) #CatsofBluesky

Look, I’m grown and can handle rejection. But reaching out to multiple therapists only to have NONE call me back? That’s making me feel a certain kinda way that I thought I left behind in middle school. I know they’re overwhelmed right now, but damn, not even an autoreply no? 🥺

If you can’t stop them, SLOW THEM DOWN. “Make shit silly” isn’t silly when it grinds the whole apparatus to a halt. THROW GLITTER.
I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Jasmine Crockett is a gift. She’s right: she is precisely who they are scared of. And they should be.
She just gave hope and energy to millions who desperately needed it.

Sir Charlie Wobbles was so feral when we adopted him that we did so without actually meeting him, he wouldn’t let the staff near him. But we were adopting his brother and hated to leave him behind. Now he’s a fluffy baby who sleeps on my feet and mews the tiniest mews. #BlackCats #CatsofBluesky

Saw the news about Rubio & El Salvador and my brain snapped into Horrified Wordless Screaming Mode. Thankfully I kept that entirely internal, because I was in the doctor’s office waiting room and apparently that’s still not acceptable in public. All things considered, I’m not sure why the fuck not.

For #Caturday I introduce Miss Tiggy Louise, the lady of the house and the only resident who screams more than I do. She’s a very pretty baby, and she knows it. #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

My therapist is no longer in network with my insurance just in time for…*checks notes*…all this bullshit. So this might be the way to go. Because even in times of utter despair, a goal is a good thing to have.
I’m thinking of starting a written journal. Who knows? It might end up as a banned book a couple of generations from now.

We are still learning about all the webpages that have been taken down, but they include: contraception and reproductive rights, STI treatment guidelines, youth risk behavior survey data, CDC's health education analysis tool, resources for the LGBTQ community, and intimate partner violence. 💔

Yesterday was a “stay in bed and take care of myself because I haven’t been” day. So now I’m back at work. So is Ollie the Fluffiest #Cat and he insists that is a comfortable position. LOOK AT HIS FEETS! #CatsofBluesky

Never obey in advance.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Awfully judgmental for a cat who stole my chair and hasn’t met a brain cell in his entire life. #CatsofBluesky #OrangeCat

I’m trying to fight the darkness today, so here is another one of my #cats, Oogie Boogie. I found him as a kitten at a truck stop, brought him home, and now he lives his best life like this. (And sometimes he’s a crazy jerk, cuz he’s #OrangeCat.)

This orange fluff is Ollie. He is my Precious Princess Baby Fluff. He is entirely responsible for my continued sanity. Thankfully, he is an extremely simple cat so does not realize that. He loves sunbeams, naps, food, and his mama. #Cats

I will be rereading the collected works of Kurt Vonnegut, starting with Slaughterhouse-Five and Mother Night. No reason, aside from “effing obviously”.

Screaming “I WAS RIGHT!” is basically the only joy I’ve got left.

The cat knows there is only one way to survive, and it does not involve properly remaking the bed.
