Wait, can we upload our own gifs now?? I guess that shows how infrequently I've been on Bluesky as of late.

Oh, it's all over for all of you* (*anyone who doesn't know) how unhinged I can get. 😅

Did y'all at least miss Zoë content, though? 😛
My floofy Zoë (dilute tortoiseshell cat) is lying on her back on the couch, eyes closed and paws curled, while I gently rest my hand on her belly. Festive pillows and a blanket with Christmas cats and penguins are visible in the background.

It's been a while...

I've entered my slick backed hair editorial era.

Tucking things away for a while.
A small home office corner with a light wood desk, a black mesh office chair, and a silver desk lamp mounted on the wall. On the desk are two small potted succulents and a plush toy shaped like a white dumpling. The wall is decorated with several framed artworks and photos, including a large minimalist illustration of Hamlet holding a sword and skull, and smaller framed pictures, such as a whimsical forest scene and various character portraits.

Happy #InternationalCatDay from this wee beauty. ❤️
Zoë (my dilute tortoiseshell cat) with a mix of gray, orange, and white fur lounges on a bed with gray sheets, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, regal expression. Her front paws are neatly crossed, and a television and dresser are visible in the softly lit background.

Grand Canyon, September 2006. Photograph by me.

Black and white photograph of the Grand Canyon, showcasing its vast layered rock formations and deep valleys. In the foreground, rugged stone and twisted pine trees frame the dramatic landscape. Billowing clouds hang in the sky above the distant canyon ridges, enhancing the sense of depth and scale. Grand Canyon circa 2006, photograph by me (A.G.)

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't accomplish anything. You're not too old, the time hasn't passed, and you can reinvent yourself at any age.

Keep going. Keep going. KEEP GOING!
A typed poem on aged, beige paper reads: "we are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that death will tremble to take us" —Charles Bukowski— The text is centered and typed in a classic typewriter font, giving it a vintage and contemplative feel.

There is something about the way the light shines around your blurred creation.

Dense, misty, sumptuous.

Dewdrops upon your blackened dreams.

Does anyone else think I ought to just become a full-time artist instead of whatever the hell else I've been up to my whole life? 😅

Painting by me.

#artist #painting #myart
Abstract painting (done by me) featuring an energetic explosion of purples, black, and white. The composition is filled with dynamic brushstrokes, splatters, and layered textures, creating a sense of movement and chaos. Shades of violet and lavender dominate, with streaks of white cutting across the canvas and darker tones adding depth and contrast. The overall effect evokes a wild, expressive atmosphere reminiscent of a dense, abstract floral scene or a storm of color. Painting by me. (A.G.)

The text on the image reads "slams laptop shut til Monday" with "Monday" crossed out and replaced by "Wednesday" in bold red letters. The mood is celebratory and carefree.

A scenic Oregon coastal view featuring a sandy beach bordered by rocky cliffs and dense evergreen forest. In the foreground, a vibrant green pine tree branch with fresh new growth is prominently visible, while ocean waves gently lap against the shore below. The landscape has a misty, serene atmosphere, typical of the Pacific Northwest. Photo by me.

In 12 days, she would have been 42.

We always used to joke that this was OUR birthday MONTH, and yes, we deserved to claim the whole month for celebrating. 😅 I love her humor so much. And yes, I refuse to use past tense. I love and will continue to.

I don't know. I guess my heart hurts today.

G'night from the grumpy one.
Zoë, my dilute tortoiseshell cat with a mix of gray, orange, and white fur sits on a bed. With striking yellow-green eyes, a serious expression and one ear slightly tipped, she's actively judging your every moment. Figures. The background shows a beige wall, a white door, and part of a picture frame.

Yesterday, I re-potted some plants for my ever amassing succulent army. Silly me thinking I'd done nothing to celebrate.

#EarthDay2025
A small outdoor plant stand in the corner of a balcony holds a variety of potted succulents and cacti. At the top of the stand is a colorful garden gnome with a rainbow hat holding a red heart. Below it are several plants, including aloe, prickly pear cactus, and echeveria, with some having long trailing stems. A larger agave plant sits beside the stand on the floor. A solar cat decoration with a butterfly on its tail rests on the balcony ledge in the background, with bright green trees visible beyond the railing. The walls are textured stucco. Two potted succulent plants are placed on a concrete floor in the corner of a balcony. The larger white pot contains an aloe vera plant with long, pointed, green leaves. The smaller black pot holds a jade plant (Crassula ovata) with thick, oval-shaped green leaves. The background features a textured white wall and a sliding glass door.

Happy National Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day to this goober who has my whole heart. ❤️

(@jess511.bsky.social was kind enough to draw this photo of her, and I love it)
Zoë, my fluffy, long-haired dilute tortoiseshell cat with a mix of gray, cream, and orange fur is lying comfortably on a bed. She is looking directly at the camera with a calm and slightly inquisitive expression. A drawing done by @Jess511 of the previous photo.

A cozy bedroom scene with Zoë nestled in a pile of white and gray blankets on the floor next to a wall. Natural light filters in through large windows with dark curtains, and a black dresser with a TV on top is visible in the background.
