I just learned this. Time to celebrate… #cats #catsofbluesky
Montage flyer that says: The feast of Saint Gertrude March 17 is Saint Patrick’s Day the patron saint of Ireland, but it is not the only celebration on that day. More importantly…March 17 is also the day we celebrate Saint Gertrude of Nichelle’s, the patron saint of cats, cat-lovers and gardeners. pic is of a woman dressed in black with a habit, surrounded by cut-out pictures of cats. She’s holding a cat and there is a cat perched on her head.

Painting of a Caucasian little girl wearing a pink skirt, black shirt, and yellow bonnet holding a black cat. The girl says, “Cuddle with me.” The cat responds, “No can do homie. I’m busy staring at ghosts until it’s time to yell at bugs I can’t reach.”

My sweet Josie Rose #notquitecaturday #Cat
Almost all-black cat with sweet eyes looking up sitting on the couch. She has a white spot on her chest, which we call her heart light.

Atticus cannot always comfort Phil’s primal screams. #CatsOfBluesky
An all-black cat with his mouth open as if in distress, screaming (but he was yawning), with a kitty-sized Siamese giving hugs in comfort (or trying to nap)

Drawn by one of my kids, inspired by current events.

Cartoon of man in a top hat asking a random American football player these questions: Interviewer-You were sportsing pretty hard out there. A lot of sports happened. Why do you think you lost? Player-We sportsed our best and scored points, but the other team was sportsing, too, and they scored even more points. I-What’s your strategy for the next match? P-We need to stop the other team from scoring points while we ourselves score many points. I-Now back to the studio for ten hours of sports analysis. P-My income is higher than most countries.

I attended a board retreat for Adoption Network Cleveland where we had to do the myers-briggs personality question thing and I came up as INFP The presenters said that Luke is the same—Never been more proud. Happy Saturday! Glad you’re back on Bsky.
Screenshot from a website that explains the Myer’s-briggs personality questionnaire to characters in Star Wars. There’s a closeup photo of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) with windswept hair. Text says: Luke Skywalker - INFP “The last time I wrote about Luke Skywalker it turned an article that’s nearly 2,500 words long. I’ll try to keep it to a more reasonable length for this post. INFP types lead with Introverted Feeling, which makes decisions based on what feels right and authentic to the individual. Even when his choices don’t make sense to the people around him, and often in the face of strong opposition, Luke holds fast to his inner convictions. This stands him in good stead when he’s tempted by the Dark Side.”

From back: Josie, Phil and Atticus enjoying the sunbeam. #caturday
Three kitties: one black on a cat tree lit by the light of the window, a little out of focus; two cats next to one another: a large black cat with a Siamese kitten on an ottoman, both looking at the camera.

I’m mentally trying to be in my happy place at the Riverbend Hot Springs along the Rio Grande in Truth or Consequences, NM. Please, if you’ve got a working transporter, I’d like to go there.
A pool of water (it’s a hot spring) infinity pool with Turtleback mountain and the Rio Grande beyond it. My toes can be seen popping up from the hot spring water.

Tuesday mood.
White text on a black background that says, No matter what you are going through, always try and help people. Instead of saying, ‘fuck off,’ ask, ‘how can I help you to fuck off?’ Be kind.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time…we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...a kind of celebration of ignorance”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995

Well, Shit.
Quote from Carl Sagan from The Demon-Haunted World: “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Phil spoons Atticus. Atticus is still alive, I promise.
A (very) large all-black cat is spooning a Siamese kitten in a box that they barely fit in. Both of the black cat’s paws are hugging the kitten.
