Sometimes, when the light is just
right, I glimpse a far-off city
that appears to float in the sky
and I can't stop thinking
about the people
who live there.

Fostering Update:

I have officially won over Agnes. And Roky tolerates her. 😆

With those hurdles out of the way, I decided to adopt her. Or, if you prefer it in Halloween: I shall take the foundling chimera as my ward and board her, at mine own expense, in the haunted family manse where I reside.

A 13-y.o. tortoiseshell cat looks oldly into the camera, but she's sitting on top of the man she has newly decided to own and that makes her young at heart.

Amen. It takes a (global) village.

Freedom can be found offline but they have to be willing to go looking for it.

They're starving for authenticity, for connection, for something beyond their phone screens.

And starving creatures will undergo great hardship to meet their needs.

Even unplugging.

I heard they once tried to serve her self-awareness.

I've decided my stance is: people don't need to believe in ghosts, per se, but belief is not a prerequisite for "zeitgeists" or spirits of the age to exist.

M.T. Cannon @sonofrockhound.bsky.social · 7d

Scary as they may be, you cannot outrun ghosts.

Let them catch you. Hear them out. Listen to what they're trying to tell you.

I spied a red-tailed hawk snatch the tiniest prey earlier today.

The out of focus is coming into focus.

And when enough people see it, we'll reach a critical spiritual mass.

I think you said it. The veil is thin. Spirits walk. Monsters abound. We're approaching a shift of some kind and the animals sense it before we do.

Black adults who live in the United States have a 59% higher risk of premature death than other races…… if you have access to healthcare fasho go get checked… if you feel uncomfortable get a loved one to come with you ❤️

Trump voters, I know there aren't many of you on here, but I hope you see this:

You voted to hurt people and even if you believe some people deserve to hurt -- they don't -- now's your chance to turn back. Make amends. Get out. Abandon that sinking wreck of a conscience.

He already abandoned you.

Such a social faux pas! 😳 So good you inquired first...😆

Good bedside manner is so, so, so undervalued in our caregivers.

CPAP strong (and, yes, it is totally a sign of strength to admit you need help) for 15 years and counting. Huge quality of life improvements over that time largely thanks to better sleep.

He very much gives off the vibe of that guy in a disaster who decides it's time to turn to cannibalism *weeks* before it's necessary even to have the discussion.

There you go again bringing logic to a bare-knuckle brawl between their last two functioning brain cells.

Not my government.

Their judgments are hollow.

Their policies are bunk.

Their mercs and operatives are scarecrows. Stuffed shirts. Mannequin men.

A top-to-bottom paper tiger with flaws so wide and deep, we could drive a country through them.

Let's do so while we still can.
