There's more than enough anxiety in the world - so much of it justified. For anyone needing a break, here's Vincent relaxing in his Christmas present.

A Personal Sadness
We said goodbye to our beloved cat, Buddy Holly yesterday. A feral cat we took in who was a sweet, intelligent boy and a very special cat. We only had him for 9 months before an aggressive cancer took him. But he was loved and loved back. Rest in Power and purrs.

There are solutions. Finland ended homelessness.
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Elections have consequences. Will Trump voters complain about the new even higher prices of eggs, gas, and produce and connect the obvious dots?

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.
We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.
Joy is my favorite weapon.

Vincent (in front) and his brother Vitus ("Mr. Veetz") in repose. In these interesting times, I take great comfort in being a childless cat lady. (I'll post pics of Buddy and Minerva, too, eventually. We're owned by a glaring of four.) Happy Caturday!

Just settling in to Blue Sky. I was never on Twitter but wanted to be part of this new community. I'll be posting about cats, Reiki, guarded optimism, and surviving in these interesting times. Hello, everyone!
