Shoutout to @musicologyduck.bsky.social not only because I found my pin the other day 😍🦆 but in recognition of their amazing boots-on-the-ground DC journalism! I meant to do this shoutout on the 4th but was too busy laughing at the commentary

A Christmas cuddle 🎅🏿 (I’m wearing Elf pajamas btw) while we watch the dog show - but cats are not interested in terrier shenanigans at the moment #catsofbluesky #catpics

Fluffy orange feline menace does not understand clocks. He does not tell time. He only knows crepuscular zoomies, and pre-dawn antics, so he got breakfast at 5:30 instead of 6:30 and he’ll do it again

Accompanied my 70 year old mom to a KC-area No Kings event today. Thousands gathered, lined the intersections as far as you could see. SO many Boomers! But folks of all ages, lots of good dogs too. We’re gonna win. My sign was a hit (front 🐸 and back view)

Loving my hydroponic garden for tomatoes year-round but you try explaining to this man that these are nightshades and will make him sick if he nibbles (don’t worry, I prevented any tasting). But he takes his garden security very seriously. #CatPic #CatsOfBlueSky

Growing kale this year and it’s loving life…but this morning there was a big dove sitting in the planter amongst the leaves (no pic because I startled her). I hope she is not planning to lay her eggs in here!

Seeing some stuff about disappearing CDC websites, well...add these to the list. This is the URL for the page about HIV in Women. Also missing is the page about HIV in Transgender folks. I didn't check the other HIV-related pages, but I would suspect they are also gone. Wayback Machine still has em

Ya know I’ve been through an actual blizzard in Colorado and one in Idaho but I don’t recall one in Kansas City (at least not while I was living here)! Pretty wild, all the roads are closed in NE KS and visibility is close to nothing #snowmageddon

Something something…releasing the feline from the receptacle? #CatsOfBlueSky #CatPic

A very fluffy orange cat looks up at you. He is standing beside a festive holiday gift bag with gold ribbons and the words “Happy Holidays“ printed on it. The cat has recently vacated the bag. You might say…someone let him out.
