This holiday season is the first without my Maddie (Tabby). She passed away in July from bladder cancer that seemed like it came on fast. 😢😢

My other cat, Smitty, and I have clung to each other ever since, afraid of losing one another.
This year has been shit. 😣

I got this text message today, and I’m wondering why it, supposedly, takes Obama to rally the troops? Can the current Democratic Congress not kick themselves in their ass and wake up?

It’s pretty pathetic, IMO.

Having studied art history, Artemesia’s story has always captivated me. Her strength as she testified against her rapist Agostino Tassi, & won (though he was later freed) then went on to be hailed as one of the most significant artists gave fellow female artists courage to pursue their craft.

Fucking fascist cowards
ICE reported arresting more than 1,800 people in New Mexico as of Oct. 15 this year, according to new data.

In the same period last year, the agency reported 128 arrests.

Read more in Source's latest 'By the #s', including about why this year's numbers are likely an undercount.

I went to Adam’s State College in Alamosa (now a university) from the late 80s-90s, and the area is one of the most magical parts of the US that I’ve lived at.

Quite an excellent literary review
‘Victor and his father lead us into those zones of the monster myth del Toro is most interested in: the tendencies of geniuses to be unhappy with success, of caretakers not to take care and the magical games truth can play with fact.’

Michael Wood on ‘Frankenstein’.

The temperatures here in Albuquerque have been very warm this week but despite that the winter blues have hit me very hard this year.

In an attempt to brighten things up, here's an orange Gerbera Daisy to bring some calm to our lives.

I lived in Indianapolis for nine years and rarely did the legislature not follow the conservative route.

Blech. All week, my throat has been scratchy, not sore or painful just scratchy. In addition, my left ear is doing the air pressure crud, which rarely happens. Not even my Neti pot is helping. Today I was texting w/ a friend who asked, “Have you tried Sudafed?” Silly me, never thought of that. 🤦🏻‍♀️

the earth; nature awakens
from hibernation.

through cracked soil, plants grow towards the sun - petals bloom;
wounds of winter healed.

I introduced my brother and his wife to my fave café, Java Joe’s, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I’ve been eating here off & on since 2005, and they never disappoint. 😋

I had my usual breakfast burrito with bacon, smothered in green chili, 🤤🤤 and a large latte.
