My book haul from Rainforest Retreat this year (yes, I know, it's been a month - I got distracted).

Tree squid approved. #rainforestwriters #treesquidadventures
Stack of books: Storyteller by Amy Thomson, The End of Time by Kate Ristau, I Dreamed a World by Colleen Anderson, Putting the Fun in Funeral by Diana Pharaoh Francis, Hound and Key by Rhiannon Held, Pocket Workshop edited by McCoy and Evans, Seasons Between Us edited by Susan Forest and Lucas K. Law, and Breath of the Dragon by Shannon Lee and Fonda Lee. A plush red tree-squid sits next to the stack of books.

I made a thing. Cat approved.
A wooden chest with the lid open. One cat in the chest; another cat checking it out from outside.

An intrepid tree squid, ready to set off from the rain forest for new adventures in Montana. #treesquidadventures #rainforestwriters

He just sat there and stared at me like this for like 5 minutes straight.
Picture of very fluffy black and white cat with green eyes sitting up straight with front paws primly together and staring.

Catus flooficus.
Photograph of a very floofy black and white cat, sitting in a ball-like posture for maximum floof.

Screenshot of a post by Bill Cammon. Post text: I've been thinking a lot about the movie Avengers Endgame. (Spoilers) They defeat Thanos, but they have to spend the next couple years trying to repair the damage that he did. Then they tried doing something that had never been done before to put everything right. And then Thanos shows up again. Things are pretty dark, everyone is down, Captain America is alone looking at Thanos and all his allies. It's overwhelming. But then Captain America stands up, tightens the shield straps, and gets ready to continue fighting the good fight. Not because he thinks he can win, but because it's what's right. But then, all his friends start showing up, standing by his side. Ready to stand up for what's right and decent. The battle wasn't over, it was actually just getting started. So to all my friends who are worried about the next four years, I guess I'm trying to tell you.... "ON YOUR LEFT". I will be ON YOUR F@#$ING LEFT.

Just getting started on this platform, but I just can't with today, so here is a picture of my cats.

"Mom! He's in my spot!"
