If you see me on here it's probably because I'm avoiding homework. But also I like a lot of things and to talk about them.

Happy Caturday from my boys! This week we finally learned that the downstairs cat tree is a fine spot. (Maury, right, has taken to hanging his front paws of things so this is perfect.) #catsky #caturday

A photo of two cats enjoying the midlevel enclosed box on a cat tree with beige carpet. The cat on the left is a short haired grey and black striped tabby with a white chinny chin. He is sitting with his front feet tucked because he knows no free feet on the internet. On the right is a medium hair grey and white cat with one paw on the landing to the cat condo box and one foot dangling off the edge. Both of them are tilting their faces to the side.

I love that we've called him Dexter, but I feel like we might've missed the opportunity to call him Goliath.

A photo of a grey black and white striped shorthair cat sitting on an ottoman like he's guarding the streets of the city beneath him.

A picture of the lead gargoyle Goliath from the Disney cartoon Gargoyles frozen as a statue in the winter striking a similar pose. (Not really, but Goliath's usual pose wasn't readily available on Google image)

We have these doofy french doors in my house. They make an amazing "bee blind" for the hunting of toys by my cats. Maury is pictured here utilizing the blind.

A photo of a floofy grey and white cat glaring at me for giving up his spot behind the glass of a french door. On the floor outside of the door is a wool felted bee

A photo of a grey and white medium hair cat that one might say gives "big Maury energy" playing with a wool felted bee underneath a french door. The bee's eyes are visible and appear to be pleading the photographer to save it from its current state of peril

This YouTube thumbnail perfectly encapsulates how your face looks after 20+ years of pivoting to a generic talking point about veterans. I hope Coloradans do their job and primary This guy back to Washington to his backup job in the senate. (And then primary him again in 28)

A screen shot from YouTube showing Senator Michael in a blue button down shirt standing outside in the shade with straight across pursed lips of mediocrity

I will heed your bag warning, but when they're already smushy these are pretty delightful.

We have a well to water our lawn and it is dry this year. Our sprinkler guy couldn't get just a hose to hook up to the system so we have to rebuild the system to do city or well depending. Meanwhile, I hate grass farming. Lawn photo for scale.

A photo of most of a very large suburban backyard. The grass in the foreground is crispy because said grass farmer is bad at lawn agriculture

This is a cat checkpoint. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

Post a poster you used to have in your room, apartment, or house. Roomie had this one in our living room.

A picture of the Salvador Dali painting Christ of St John of the cross, which depicts a painting looking down over the top of Jesus on the cross over a black background. Beneath are lit clouds, mountains, and a lake with a first century fishing boat on the shore.

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone. 🐈 They figured out how to share... for eight minutes

Two cats pretending they can share an extra large Fukumaru curved cardboard bed. The cat on the left is grey and white with medium length hair, and most certainly crawled onto this bed after the cat on the right, a grey striped tabby.

Recently finished my third non fiction book (goal is 12) this year. The Age of Magical Overthinking by Amanda Montell. I love her writing style. This book breaks down several types of cognitive bias. I appreciate that the book is very clear this is a human thing unrelated to beliefs. 4.75 ⭐

A book cover titled The Age of Magical Overthinking. The author's name is at the bottom: Amanda Montell, the sides read Notes on Modern Irrationality on the left and Author of Cultish in cursive on the right. The picture in the middle features a trippy 60s style background in red, pink, green and yellow, with a blue hand with its fingers crossed. There are stars and arrows drawn on it with a sort of solar system around the wrist and the crossed fingers

I made an art today of the moon because I like the moon.

Took some time today, the day before Holy Week starts, to take a slow walk.

Hi Darth! I added two cats to the skyline since you were here last.

A picture of two cats on a grey and cream cat tower. The cat highest up is a grey and white medium hair cat called Maurice and below him is a grey and black striped short hair tabby called Dexter. They send their congratulations about your new role as CEO and hope you institute a generous zoomies policy during your leadership

Thanks YouTube algorithm for figuring out we like beans and pasta. Creamy chickpea and rosemary pasta with some spinach for good measure. The video says it's $5 to make but it's more like $10 to feed 4-6. Depending on how fancy your olive oil is. youtu.be/aD0dnWztiFU?...

I was supposed to go pickup groceries at 330 and this has been the status instead. (Local time is 6 pm. Send help for my legs!)

It's the language in the thirteenth amendment, so we had to use it when we repealed it here in CO. (There was a whole explanation about it in our voting guide)

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2

Maurice would like you to know that to WIN the game, sometimes you need to WEAR it. (Crazy old Maurice eh?)

A photo of a medium hair grey and white cat called Maurice who has put himself through one of the ends of a blue fabric cat toy that has an automatic arm cats can chase between the covers. (Said arm is underneath the cat because he is pleased to inform you he has WON the game. )

She used the red carpet at the Golden globes to announce it! I love her acting so so much. How she embodies space and her facial expressions. Gah.

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist I know he's not playing that kind of doctor right now but... check me into the clinic and sequence my jeans er genes

A picture of the actor Morris Chestnut, who is a bald Black man that has a short cut beard and a knowing look on his face. He is wearing a white button down collared shirt and hunter green suit coat. I apologize for my lack of ability at thirst alt texting. Be assured that he is a very good looking man.

Oh that's right! Fantastic motivation right there. But maybe leave a few things around. Dexter agrees from that roll of butcher paper I used for one project 3 years ago.

This a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone.

A photo of a grey and white medium hair cat they call Maurice grooming the fuzzy rainbow tail thing on his automatic toy I don't know either. Foster swears he was never exposed to an orange cat

Just some brothers, helping me feel better, while listening to some Edgar Meyer play Bach for cello on his double bass.

Two cats curled up together on a couch against a blue, beige, and pink dotted pillow. The cat on the left, Maurice, is a medium hair white and grey cat. The cat curled up on the right, Dexter, is a short haired grey and black striped cat. It is the author's opinion that Edgar Meyer soothes their little hearts into rest. She might be projecting

A little #coffeewithhunter in two pictures. Decided to crack into my birthday coffee. The Mountain's Edge Berthoud Blend (proudly roasted in Colorado) is a dark roast Sumatra and Colombian blend. Even had time to heat the stoneware and mug.

A blue stoneware French press with the plunger up because it is brewing coffee, a package of coffee says the mountain's edge fresh roasted coffee, berthoud blend, and a mug from Disneyland's storyland ride with hot water in it

And Maurice sends you the reminder that even the small spoon can be the big one if you set your mind to it. (His vibe is cozy, I hope you are able to coze)

A regular sized medium hair grey and white cat, Maurice, plays the big spoon to a lorge and in charge black, grey, and white striped tabby named Dexter. They are both snuggled up in one of those IKEA chairs people buy because they think people want to sit in them but really they never do

January reading roundup. Had some great reads this month. Do pick up When Trees Testify. Great non fiction read for Black History Month and year round. Let's hope the rest of this year looks this great. #booksky
