Dear #BlueSky friends...just sharing again, I'm almost there!
Thank you so much #PBS for this wonderful opportunity, I watched Antique Roadshow almost 24/7 when mom passed. Entered the sweepstakes, forgot in my decline.
Here we are!

Hello all, hello friends of BlueSky. I have been absent lately; things have been rough.
Mom in her world sent me a sign through #PBS, and I never win anything!

Please help me get to the #AntiquesRoadshow in #SaltLakeCity .

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

Here begins seven days solo, the longest I've been by myself since everything happened.
Feelings, hm.
Anxious.
Excited to work on projects.
Still early.

In meantime, help!
Any #vintage #art #experts out there who knows a G.Hansh?
Thanks! ✌️

Rough day today, thinking about mom.

Perhaps a thrift Sunday discount plate day is in order.

Covered in #emotional #support hair, as requested, right on time.
Thanks boog 🫶

Sanders: You have a president who is suing ABC and CBS and the Des Moines register. He is threatening to investigate PBS and NPR. He loves media that fawns on him.. If you cannot take the criticism, get the hell out of politics

Italy, would you like a cup of nunya this morning?
Nunya business what gener marks individuals use.

Stop pretending you're confused and unable to educate yourself. You're literally talking about a school where education

Go learn.

Musk thinks we need to have an economic “detox.”

I agree.

Since quitting these places I:

- Have more money
- Have discovered dozens of great local businesses
- Have spent more time with family and friends
- Have contributed less to racists.

Thanks, Elon!

One quick #caturday before bed-
Excuse me waiter, my drum came with a tail.

#mainecoon #cats #cat #caturday

The closer the day approaches the more uneasy I become.

I know I'm quite capable of getting through a single week in solidarity, however this time outlets are scarce.

hmm.

Look. At. This.

Just look at it.

This is just so neat.

Old man Vegas, good afternoon.

Vegas is a rescue California king, 16~ years old. He's had a tough life with a few inexperienced owners, escapes, and a couple long periods of hibernation.

He is now settled in a lovely retirement suite, top floor, full 360 window view.

Good afternoon-

My eyes have fully adjusted to being nearly blind (broke my glasses but its been too cold to go out)

I've slept in 3 hours late

I was on a roll being productive but put ALL the plates away, never took pictures

Just a late, blind jellyroll

Booga best assistant though

It's like listening to high school kids sitting at the lunch table talking nonsense at each other...oh, this insane, brainwashed world, I pity you.

I'm just baffled by the amount of people believe the brain rot that just rolls on out.

Illiterate.

Years went by where I kept my head down, mask up, and worked. Kitchens mostly, but as I've said I am a jack of all trades, I've had my paws everywhere.
Many long, late nights and missed moments.

I stand here now in my living room unemployed (MH), my mother gone, divorced, broke, sober.

Now what
