Enjoying summer break, definitely less stressed & pursuing more things I'm interested in
A cat cafe opened here, I've been growing sunflowers & cacti, plus reading a lot
Pretty jealous of your trip to Spain & going to see the Prodigy. It looked like fun, I hope you enjoyed them!

May she find the peace she couldn't find here.😞
Photo of Mikayla Raines with a fox pup on her shoulder. She has purple-silver hair and she's wearing a rainbow bandana above her forehead. The fox pup is wearing a similar bandana around its neck.

Cheers!
A hand grasping a pint glass filled with Beamish Stout. The foamy head is overflowing, flowing down the glass and pooling on the person's thumb. Mmmmm!

A certain US dictator watching his parade & #NoKings protests, then hearing the news about the assassinations in MN.

Old man Obsidian fell asleep on a preschooler

Summer is off to a good start!
Logo for Santa Fe's "Turquoise Teapot and Cat Cafe". It's a turquoise silhouette of a cat sitting next to a steaming teacup. The company name encircles the picture. Close-up of Margarite, a black & gold tortoise-shell cat laying on a beige couch. Creamsicle, a cream tabby, is sitting in a comfy-donut staring at the photographer. Obsidian, a 16-years-old black cat rescue, caught sneaking by the photographer.

Cat bullet. A picture of a cat midstride, running real fast. Its legs tucked under, ears flat, tail flailed back, it looks like a torpedo floating a couple inches off the ground.

A blue meme poster with a 50s stylized theme. There's a man with his hand next to his mouth, either to whisper something to you or yell something to everyone. The stylized words around him reads "TRUMP47 It's not incompetence...it's FASCISM." Reading the small print add to the statement, "...it's the deliberate crippling of American institutions and democratic safeguards while undermining old alliances, all for the purpose of aligning with modern authoritarian regimes to secure Trump's power and facilitate America's transition into FASCISM."

This explains so much.

Grace over guilt.

Such a hard lesson to learn, but very important.
a tweet from Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle saying "We learn emotional regulation from parents who were willing & able to co-regulate with us when we were young. If we didn't have that, we didn't learn it--& often go through life ashamed we suck at this skill we were never meant or equipped to teach ourselves. Grace over guilt."

Glad you have some loving company
take care 🫶
4 panel comic 1) Someone is crying in their bed. The panel is black & white except for a yellow cat poking its head out from the bottom foot of the bed. 2) The yellow cat has curled onto the crying person's belly. 3) The person has placed their hands on the sleeping cat. Their eyes are closed an they are no longer crying. The yellow from the cat is spreading up their arms and into their face. 4) Their body is completely yellow now. The person has a calm smile on their face and they seem to be sleeping while still holding the sleeping cat on their tummy. At the bottom corner of the panel is written, "...healing powers".

If you see this, repost with something red from your gallery.

A whole bunch of pink in my galleries, but not a lot of red. Might as well make a statement, then.
Drawing of a girl standing atop the remains of a demolished statue. She's wearing a lilac top, purple pants, and red boots. She sports a red beanie over her overflowing, windblown, purple hair. Despite posing in profile, she giving a powerful side-eye to the viewer. In her hand is a loooong red banner that loops around her. It says, 'Governments exist to serve the people". The declaration continues on the base of the destroyed statue in red spray paint, "Not the privileged". The art is signed by France Corbel at the very bottom of the statue.

TWs: - (c'mon, it's a self help book)

The author's name is printed in black font at the bottom.

If you love movies like Reanimator, Dead Alive, & other cheesy camp horror, check out "Onyx the Fortuitous & the Talisman of Souls".
I dunno, hidden gem, guys!
Movie poster for "Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls". It's drawn in the colorful, frenetic, 70s 'Fritz the Cat' comic style. In the center is a bearded man w a terrified expression. On the border of the poster are a rockabilly demon, a cat wearing space gear, and a beaked monster. A jeweled talisman is on the bottom center while a bald, white-mustachioed old man w an eye-patch wielding a dagger and a green-haired goth girl stare at it w malice.

The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Cover ary for TJ Klune's "The House in the Cerulean Sea". A house on an overhanging ledge over the sea. Beautiful blue/purple sky overhead. A van drives down the lane from the house between two bare, windblown trees.
