A very Colorado morning watching vehicles choose to avoid this big tumbleweed near 287. My childhood Adirondack Autumn was heralded by the red of sugar maples. Out here in my neighborhood I mark it by the arrival of these strolling around. @kylec.bsky.social

Okay, I can't physically go to my cats at the moment, so today's obligatory #caturday photo is of one of the shelter cats. She's as soft as a chinchilla but quite shy. She loves gentle pats though and purrs every single time I've pet her during her weeks at the shelter.

Joy is an act of self care, resistance AND resilience. We contain multitudes and I'm not letting the dictators or the bad way healthcare is or my body steal Joy. I can have two emotions at once. Joy doesn't erase the problems either. Both exist. But Joy allows me to take a deep breath and persist.

Okay, in a world where adult humans largely suck because a fire now is seen as more important than shade for those who will later be... I present my favorite shelter kitty, Liz

My favorite is a long term resident, Liz, who loves to play and have company come to visit but has a hard time accepting the affection she asks for. She is afraid of dogs and would like to go to the vet as little as possible.

Original sketch by me. "Equal Rights for others does not mean fewer for you. It's not pie." Once my hand decides to not behave like I broke the outer metacarpals I'm going to do another one with an edit. We'll see.

Today's good news this morning. One of my Caturday cats got adopted! The joy we volunteers feel when we come in and the fur babies are gone to their home never stops. Photo is of the good boy last week.

#caturday photo of the gorgeous adult cat, Huli, who really very much just wants to be in a home where she can wander around again. Yes this is an unaltered photo. Her eyes just are beautifully unique.
