this cat
Very close up on the face of a middle-aged white woman with brown eyes and crooked brown rimmed glasses. Her chin is being pushed to the side by a white cat who is sleeping with her head pushed up against the woman’s face.

tonight we carved punkins!
Three jack-o’-lanterns in a dark room, they are lit up from the inside. The left side has big round uneven eyes and a tongue sticking out of a smiling mouth, the middle one as a classic triangle shape, eyes, gaps and teeth, smile, and the one on the right has an open mouth with seeds and pumpkin guts spilling out and has expressive eyebrows. Three jack-o’-lanterns in a well, it room on the kitchen table. The left side has big round uneven eyes and a tongue sticking out of a smiling mouth, the middle one as a classic triangle shape, eyes, gaps and teeth, smile, and the one on the right has an open mouth with seeds and pumpkin guts spilling out and has expressive eyebrows. A close-up on the faces of three white women with three jack-o’-lanterns on the table sort of in between them. Middle-aged woman on the left is wearing glasses as a bob and his smiling, the young woman in the foreground of the picture is making a face as if she’s vomiting to match the pumpkin behind her, and the young woman on the right is sticking out her tongue in a cute shape like the cute pumpkin behind her.

my mother counted 732 people at the #NoKings rally in South Paris, Maine!
Three white adults, a middle-aged woman on the left, a woman in her 80s on the right, and a man in his 90s sitting in a chair wearing a baseball cap. In front of them is a cardboard sign that says “no one is free unless everyone is free — Fannie Lou Hamer.” It’s a bright sunny day with blue sky and they are smiling.

A close-up photo of the United States Senate building, a domed structure with many columns is on the left, on the right is what is probably some sort of military speedboat going really fast in the water. The text reads: Resolution to restrict Trump's war powers fails in the Senate The vote was largely along party lines, with all Republican senators except Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski voting it down. Pennsylvania's John Fetterman was the sole Democrat to vote no.

New mask chain :-) #CovidConscious
A white middle-aged woman with silver shoulder length hair wearing glasses and a white ventilator mask. Across the bridge of her nose on the mask is a delicate chain of colorful beads in the shape of daisies.

sent this to my kiddos with the word “bliss” (I was visiting a friend wanted to share how happy I was) and realizing now it’s just a table-tidy away from an curated-style Instagram post
An outdoor patio table with a plate with bagel, cream cheese and lox, next to a cup of mug, next to a few small daily meditation books. Under the table, you can see my legs crossed comfortably. There are lush green trees in the background.

asked 16 to take a picture of me with our new car, this is what she did — I realize I’m no longer chronically online. I’m not keeping up with the kids (I don’t know this meme)

This cat!
A white cat with peach highlights on her paws and face is lying on her back with her paws curled up and her head tilted as if to sort of say what do you think about that?

Old farm houses and the way they stay cool if you close the windows first thing in the morning! The higher temperature is outside the lower temperature is inside.
A digital screen that shows the number 87.6 at the top and 71.1 at the bottom. These are temperatures Fahrenheit.

I took a picture of the signs that felt not just unwelcoming but actively hostile on the path
About eight signs tacked up on a wooden board, summer handwritten summer manufactured. They read: TRAILS MAINTAINED ATV (something) USE OF THIS TRAIL IS A PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT BIG APPLE LIBBY HILL DRY MILLS

post of pic of you from ‘08

(I don’t have access to any at the moment, but here is one of my first daughter)
A small white child, with short wavy blonde hair. She is smiling at the camera with her hand over her mouth and stuck on her hand is a bumper sticker that says Obama ‘08.

Today I celebrated 29 years since my last alcoholic drink or “recreational” drug, one day at a time. So grateful and joy-filled today!

This picture is me just after I asked my daughter to Google “is it rude to drink soup out of a bowl in Japanese culture.”
A middle-aged white woman with short silver hair is sitting outside on a deck, with a small soup bowl held up to her chin, as if she’s about to take a drink. (I was!) She is smiling. It’s a bright sunny day.

My friends outside of Senator Collins’ office in Portland

call direct to her DC office: 202-224-2523, option 1 to leave an opinion message. Simply give your name your location in Maine, and a statement that you are against the Senate budget bill. They keep track of these calls!
In front of corporate looking brick buildings with blue sky in the background, several adults in sunglasses and hats are holding protest signs. One of them is an enormous banner probably about 5 feet tall with red background and white writing in all caps that says “Collins is complicit.”

An infographic with images of traffic cones, water bottles, and a tear gas canister. The text reads: Defusing Tear Gas Materials: Traffic cone - Water (a lot) - 1 Clear the area near the canister of fellow protestors and make sure the wind is blowing tear gas away from you 2 Place cone over tear gas canister. — Try to place it where the gas is blowing away from you. Canisters are dangerously hot. Handle with heat proof gloves. 3 Once cone is over canister, pour water aggressively into the cone. Canisters need a few bottles and coordination to defuse quickly. Escaping gas can still harm your skin, using nitrile gloves can help prevent pain.
