Chelsea is on the left, she's Nico's mom. She tolerates sharing the chair with Nico (just barely).

Two tortoiseshell cats sharing a black leather chair with dark brown arms. The cat on the left has lighter fur and a big cream-colored paw. She is irritated by her daughter, the cat on the right, who has darker fur, a mostly black face with an orange stripe between her eyes, and speckled paws.

good day to be out and about with thousands of friends and neighbors, if a bit chilly for photography #iceout

the sun is out, the sky is blue, there are a few wispy clouds, you can see the clock tower of Minneapolis City Hall in the background, some other buildings in the foreground, a skyway crossing the street, and a large crowd of people in the street, bundled up and carrying signs

hey #Minneapolis the very faint green glow has started (in Whittier with iPhone camera exposure)

very faint green aurora glow over buildings in an urban alley

A menorah shaped like a spiral, resting on a dark brown wood dining table with a dark brown chair in the background. There is one white candle at the top of the spiral and one white candle at the bottom, and both are lit

When I was around 7-9 years old, I used to drag my dad outside to stargaze on cold, clear nights. Spotting Orion was always a treat, but we never saw it like this from my driveway in Michigan 💖

red aurora takes up most of the sky, with some green glow to the right. behind the red cloud, you can see the constellation Orion. there is a tree to the left and power lines running across the scene

light show!

Chelsea on Caturday

scary scary Minneapolis lake park

a lakeside scene: the top third of the photo is puffy gray-white clouds against a blue sky, the middle third is green trees of varying shapes on an island in the lake, and the bottom third is the lake itself, reflecting the trees and clouds and with some dead tree branches sticking out of the water. there are turtles on one of the branches

The average American has three friends

A TV screen, split three ways: in the top left corner is Agent Dana Scully with her hair up, hand to cheek and looking off to the side, holding a phone, in a bubble bath. In the top right corner is Agent Fox Mulder, holding a phone and smiling, also in a bubble bath. In the bottom is Assistant Director Skinner, scowling slightly, holding a phone, also in a bubble bath.

The ghost of David Bowie set up a fan page at Bluesky, how nice of his spectral self!

Went with the one my husband found at an antique shop years ago

An older-looking tarnished silver menorah with scrollwork on the base and arching below the candles. It holds 9 white candles that are burning. It rests in a square baking dish lined with foil, sitting on a dark brown wooden table.

the car was long gone by the time I started driving (sad) 😍

a neighborhood street in the Detroit area around 1976, with three people standing outside a house. there's a 1970s white Corvette Stingray facing front-end toward the camera, with a Michigan bicentennial license plate on it

Quote tweet with the last baseball related photo on your phone (no cheat).

photo of the Jumbotron at Target Field showing the photo of Cincinnati Reds player Noelvi Marte with the following text: "His name is an anagram for VIOLENT MARE, which is so random that we apologize we made you read this." The score is 1-1 in the top of the 6th inning

you sure were pretty tonight, Minneapolis

Sunset over a lake. The trees are in shadows in the distance, there are ripples on the water, and some wispy clouds in the sky, which shades from orange to gold to lighter to darker blue
