It’s always the cat gazing through the looking glass.

Birgitta Jonsdottir@birgittaj· 12d

Indeed the most handsome cat around.

A cat looking into the eyes of the black mirror while listening to a gothic poem of angst and delicacy.

The caturking is enjoying the sun. It has never rained as much in July in our fair city, so we all are enjoying some vitamin d today. #caturday

A very peaceful looking cat lying lazy, pretending to sleep, in a shelf, with rays of unthreatening sunlight. Next to him his anti hairball grass flower bowl and a fat laughing Buddha.

I find reading fables during times of mayhem is an excellent choice, it makes the insane reality rather less terrifying and dull.

The cat hiding in my newly created labour of love crochet skirt. Of course he is shedding, leaving the inside of the skirt rather itchy. He does look cute and cozy so I have forgiven him.

Some random favorite photos lifted out of my album to share in the hope of giving some joy during days of mayhem and hope. #stunday #photography #iceland #scotland

A cat contemplating the unbearable lightness of being as he looks at my through the looking glass of a window. Reflecting in it a Tibetan flag, peace sign and prayer flags. Inside the window, yellow flowers, Onas and said cat.

Beheaded storm troopers, their first predicable fate to be Xmas decorations in a galaxy far far away in a flowerpot with pink hyacinths. Photo is b&w.

Caturday is today and my lovely beast approves the attention.

A picture of a tomboy cat called Amon with his plushies. A Koala at his feet and unidentified creature on the head. His expression is also unidentifiable. Is he feeling annoyed or upset? Or is he playing along with his human toy? Anyone’s guess.

Wild northern light dance as seen from my balcony.

Green twirling light fill the sky, dancing so fast they loose focus. A car driving on the street and and old airplane sitting behind a fence.

Some personal stuff: as a result of COVID a few years back, got it once and a so called mild version, I developed Long COVID and from that POTS and ME. I was vaccinated and boosted, so I didn’t die. Please be careful to not catch it or spread it: it’s a Russian Roulette.

A cat: looking very seriously at the camera. Because no one should play Russian roulette.

Did a short shift at the bookshop yesterday. Sold yet another copy of the Master and Margarita because I love that book so much. Asked the owners to order more Doppelgänger and brought home this stash to read myself:) #booksky

A tiny pile of books: Orbital by Samantha Harvey, In Search of Schrödinger’s Cat by John Gribbin and The Vegetarian by Han Kang.

@critterbutts.bsky.social glad to see you here :) I put your wonderful stickers on my laptop.

My laptop with two critter butts stickers and tech won’t save us sticker. Also a new skirt peaking on the side I am making using a new found crochet skills I am learning via YouTube.

That went sour very fast :)

Amun the lazy cat playing with the toy he got for Xmas that is almost shredded into oblivion since this photo was taken. Adorable chap who loves to be my radiator. He is a rebel at heart. 💜

Amun the cat, on his back, because he is lazy, in his tower bed, playing with a yellow toy on a fake fishing pole, bookshelf’s in the background. Always adorable except when he does his nonstop noise control to demand attention or of course more food.

Everything that creates happiness is for free. Consumption is not part of that equation.

Playful cat and books in the background.

Birgitta Jonsdottir@birgittaj· Apr 18

Slowly getting better from my long years of long COVID. Winter is graduating giving way for spring. Went out for a birthday walk yesterday with my daughter to the tiny mountains. Nourishment.

Hahahahaaha - Marco the Ruby red Castro lead the way; Sir; show some respect for the laws in your country and please make sure to do the same while traveling abroad.

I am doing a shift in the little bookshop, quiet day, so I peak into Bluesky when the shop is empty of people. I watch the cover of the banned book in the bookshelf ahead of me, with some of my favorite books and am reminded we are not in 1935 but 2025 and yet it's the same script.

First Bluesky news reference I’ve seen in Icelandic media. Of course it’s the ever so brilliant @eliothiggins.bsky.social who gets the honor of being first.

Nearly all of #Iceland is under red weather warning. Waiting for the storm to arrive shortly. You can see the winds arriving from afar at this website: earth.nullschool.net#current/wind...

The harsh reality is: every nation is currently just one election from willfully electing fascist regimes because of the massive deliberate brainrot inflicted by social media and other tools of brainwashing by the most powerful entities in the world. How do we stop it?

I honestly had forgotten how many people rooted for my crazy artistic experimentations and how young I was when I got to have my work published. I was 14 when the very first poem I wrote was published in a newspaper. It was of course about the aftermath of a nuclear bomb. Such a carefree child.

Black and white portrait of a teenage girl, looking rather glum and deep in thought.

Birgitta Jonsdottir@birgittaj· Dec 29

Going through the archives and sorting them is ever so time consuming because each piece of paper contains so many memories and reflections. My mom was a rather popular musician and I found this photo in her stuff. I’m the freaky looking teenager in the back :)

Photo with a very beautiful smiling woman in the center holding a 12 string guitar, getting ready to strum it. In front a very handsome boy in a suit and in the back a smiling punkish teenage girl.

Since my little family started a new tradition of who gets to host Xmas dinner: My son and his amazing girlfriend; I got to skip decorating my flat and only got 3 Hyacinths because they smell like heaven.

A festive collage. A deep symbolic meaning. Your Xmas riddle. If you can solve it, the awards are great: figure it out and find out :) happy brightmas or whatever fits before mas 🌲🎄🕊️🌞

I had gotten some fancy fish jerky for the cat as Xmas treat. Forgot to hide it and when I got home from work he had tore open the bag and consumed half of it. He is now demanding to have the rest. Thankfully he hasn’t masted opening the fridge 🤣
