Luna vocalizes as the wet food approaches. Note that the yellow tennis ball is not hers. It’s the dog’s. The dog never plays with it. We put it up on the cat tree so nobody would sprain an ankle on Thanksgiving. #Caturday #lunakitty #catsky
A brownish grayish tabby cat with a white chest and belly sits on the top level of a gray cat tree. She is wearing a pink collar, and she has gorgeous peridot-colored eyes. Her mouth is opening in the beginning of a meow at the human who has been tardy in bringing her canned food. There is a bright yellow tennis ball by the kibble dish, which is not the cat’s.

Luna guilt-trips the human by sitting sadly next to her empty food bowl. #Caturday Eve.
A grayish-brownish tabby cat with a white chest and belly wears a pink collar and sits atop a cat tree. Her food bowl is empty. And boy howdy, does she want you to know how empty it is.

Just south of Davenport, California (north of Santa Cruz, about 15 km or so?) I love these bluffs with all my heart.
Huge rolling waves sweep in off the northeast Pacific Ocean, breaking on the bluffs north of Santa Cruz, California. The sun is rising to the left of the picture and catches the crests of the waves in white-gold light. There’s a mist behind the headland that juts out into the middle of the picture. The sky gets bluer as you get above the mist. The waves are about 7 meters high, the cliffs about 20 meters. It is lovely.

NEW YORK CITY MAYOR-ELECT ZOHRAN MAMDANI! Damn I like the sound of that.
Zohran Mamdani raises his arms in jubilation, flanked by a diverse crowd of supporters, in an outdoor setting.

Extremely decorative. This one lost her vision about 1.5 years ago and since then has refused to go for any kind of walk, which is probably kind of fair.
A fuzzy off-white Havanese dog lies on her back in a dog bed. All four legs are sticking straight up in the air and her head is lolling over the edge of the bed. A yellow tennis ball sits next to the sleeping dog. The dog did not chase this ball on this day or any other day in the past year. She is no longer sighted, so chasing balls is pretty hard now, to be fair.

How long can you leave your #halloween ghouls up before the suburban neighbors start giving you side-eye in the street? Asking for me. I’m sad Halloween is over because I just got my ghouls done the day before.
A homemade ghoul with skeletal jazz hands hangs from a tangerine tree in a suburban front yard. The ghoul’s skull head is laughing as their gray robe hangs in tatters. There are orange lights and spiderwebs on the tree and bushes in the background.

Luna likes to show off the #murdermittens for #caturday
A grayish tabby with white chin and paws lies on her back on a white fuzzy blanket. Her green eyes are mostly closed in bliss as an obedient human scritches her chest. The kitty stretches out her right foreleg and spreads her claws in the gesture that means “more of this, human.”

Made some ghouls, sang a little song about it.

Fuzzy dog not impressed by spooky skull. #halloween #halloweendogs #havanese #dogsofbluesky #dogsofbsky #timelinecleanse
A small funny fuzzy Havanese dog looks up at the camera. The dog is white with brown patches on her head and ears and a ridiculously fluffy tail. From the left of the frame we see a plastic Halloween skull menacing the dog in a very threatening way. There is regular living room furniture in the background, couch, rug, coffee table.

Luna kitty works it on the couch for #caturday
A grayish-brown tabby cat with celadon green eyes stares at the human who is petting her. The human’s arm is clad in a black and white striped sweater and is dutifully petting the cat’s back. There is a mid century living room in the background. A grayish-brown tabby cat with celadon green eyes hooks a white-tipped paw over the hand of the human who is petting her the cat has a white chin and a white spot on her chest. The cat reclines on a gray and white checked fleece blanket on a sofa. A grayish-brown tabby cat with celadon green eyes stares at nothing as she enjoys pets. She rests her head on an off-white fleece blanket on a couch. There is an oak coffee table in the background, strewn with Saturday morning detritus.

Am escaping my current unpleasant reality by immersing myself in Hemlock & Silver by @tkingfisher.com, who’s rapidly becoming my favorite living author. The highlighted sentence was a bolt of pure glee and a balm to the spirit. Thanks, T. #bookssaveme #booksky #hemlockandsilver
A screenshot from the Kindle edition of Hemlock & Silver by T Kingfisher. The highlighted sentence reads “Aaron and Javier were both looking at me with the kind of studied impassivity that people get when they think you’re about to start raving about whippoorwills stealing your toenails”

Recycling my protest penguin from earlier #nokings demo.

#Chronicillness is keeping me home today, but please go out and make good trouble, safely.
A little blue penguin plushy perches on the railing of a deck overlooking a garden. The penguin holds a sign that says “no emperors,”and “hands off the rule of law!”The sign also features an emperor penguin with an orange combover, with a red circle and a line through it.

Hoping weather is cool enough on Saturday to wear this to #nokings. In Spanish, “La derecha oprima, la izquierda libera” is “righty-tighty, lefty-loosey,” but literally it’s “the right oppresses, the left liberates.” (Yes the left can oppress, but that’s not what I’m most worried about right now)
A stout middle-aged white woman with disheveled hair and glasses wears a bright red hoodie. The text on the shirt reads “La derecha oprima, la izquierda libera.” Next to the text a clenched fist grasps a wrench (or a spanner if you go that way).

Things have been hard AF lately. I lost someone who was extremely dear to me, suddenly, no chance to say goodbye.

And also there is this tabby, asking for pets with a giant extended murder mitten.

#mixedbag #lifeishard #lifeisamazing
A tabby cat with green eyes and some black and white trim on her paws and nose stretches out her left front paw with claws extended. It looks threatening, but she’s really just asking for pets. She is sitting on a fleece white blanket with a squishable plushy toy of Cerberus in the background.

You might think from looking at this picture that the fluffy white dog has exhausted herself chasing the tennis ball next to her. This would not in fact be true.
Small fluffy white dog laying on her back in her dog bed, with all four legs in the air and her head hanging out the edge of the bed. There is a bright yellow tennis ball next to her, which she is absolutely not chasing and has never chased.

The #MECFS community lost a heroic activist last weekend. Bridget O’Shea died at age 47 from cardiac arrest, a sequela of this vicious, ill-understood and pitiless disease that affects millions of people around the world. She died three days after this heartbreaking tweet.
Tweet from Emmy/CFS activist Bridget O’Shea. “I called my mom. I told her I’m afraid I’m going to die. Her response? She hung up. <wailing face emoji >”

#Caturday with my furry niece Luna was interrupted by news of severe foreign policy fuckery and bombs and stoops shit. Luna did manage to show what she thought of all that.
A squat tabby with clear green eyes and white toes, crouched on the arm of a gray chair. The rear view of the same tabby, sweeping her tail in a majestic arc in front of my face, the better to draw attention to her magnificent butthole. Middle aged white humans in the background.

Fortunately we have a world-renowned counterterrorism expert to protect Amurrikins from the newly inflamed and rage of the many countries who justifiably hate and fear the US.

This is who runs this account
I’m about for years old, standing among my family (Mom, Nana, Dad, Grampa and Aunty from left to right). I’m wearing a short pale sleeveless grey dress with pleated skirt, little white ankle socks, and Mary Jane shoes. My aunt and mom are super stylish in 1960s finery and bouffant hair. Dad and Grampa are wearing earth- toned suits, white shirts and dark narrow ties. You can see the corrugated metal siding of Grampa’s garden shed in the background. We are all white people. Very white.

Couldn’t go today #chronicillness but this was my tiny penguin from April demo.
A little blue penguin plushy attends a demonstration on April 5 in Santa Cruz, California. The penguin is holding a sign that says no emperors, and shows a picture of an emperor penguin with orange hair added on, with the red circle and line through the image. In the background are thousands of protesters with signs standing on a lawn on a sunny spring day. There may or may not be a human holding the plushy.
