PAX Friday 2025
My "no one else is in costume, but I really want to wear a costume" outfit

That is definitely a mood.

Three women dressed up as the three fairies from Disney's Sleeping Beauty behind three cakes that look like books. Left to right: Fauna is pointing her wand at Leave No Trace by Randee Dawn. Flora is pointing her wand at Three Things Cameron Couldn't Tell You by Michael Haynes, and Merryweather is sticking out her tongue to the side in concentration while appearing to touch the corner of the third book-cake, New Rock, New Realm by Richard Sparks.

A trio of male deer resting in the shade of bushes on a dry lawn

Visitors enjoying the shade in my neighbor's backyard

A silver grey tuxedo cat and an orange brown tabby cat sniff noses. The brown tabby is in a purple fabric pet carrier on the top/right, while the grey is loose, between the carrier and the photographer's leg on the bottom/left.

Two kitties acknowledging each other at the vet

Photo of a can of Safeway brand Lime Seltzer Water, with lid exploded open from the inside.

Drink lots and take cooling breaks.
It's HOT out there.
This can was in direct sunlight and not contained, such as inside a car.

Tree with markings that vaguely look like Groot from Marvel.

Also today, I was specifically told "I am Groot."

Young black tailed buck on sidewalk.

Had to veer off the sidewalk during my kitty walk today to avoid this guy.

Photo of a tabby cat in a purple pet stroller, on the sidewalk, next to a residential road, during a sunny day.

Getting used to a new routine, good for both Squishy and me.

I came across this neat video that could be useful in this day and age.

Live long and Jitterbug!

Just know everyone is safe here and I do mean everyone🩷💛💚❤️

A photo of an urban curb, gutter, and sidewalk, with a lightpole base to the right, and a black vehicle to the left, but only the front corner bumper, driving light and tire showing. And a petunia plant with a single flower is growing in a crack of the gutter next to the wheel and a discarded cigarette butt, and a plant with small purple flowers is growing in a crack of the curb.

A Photo I took many years ago, showing beauty within urbanity.

I'm was reminded of the pandemic lockdown by a show I'm watching, and keep kind of wishing it was here again. It took me a bit to realize why:

In 2020 we were in a state of troubles with hope on the horizon, while today, we (US) are in a state of troubles with no apparent hope on the horizon.😞

Photo of grey cat on purple comforter, where the cat is loafing between the legs of the person the comforter is on top of.

The problem with nap time is when others don't want you to get up.

I'm ♥️ing because I appreciate you sharing the information.

I absolutely do not ♥️ the information.

Photo is of a cat sitting on top of a tablet top tablet weaving loom, preventing the weaver from working.

Argh!

Photo of a poem: I greet the day, "Do'aunna" The alarm sings out, and as I rise, "Do'aunna," I whisper. I pull back the curtains to the east, As the earth turns to greet the sun, "Do'aunna," I call. Coffee is served and savored. Over the empty cup, "Do'aunna," I pray. Through the door, I head outside, Breathe deep and cry, "Do'aunna!" "Do'aunna!" "Do'aunna!" Then, step forward, And do it anyway.

Through the door, I head outside,
Breathe deep and cry,
"Do'aunna!"
"Do'aunna!"
"Do'aunna!"
Then, step forward,
And do it anyway.

Blue sign with white text saying I Love Government Workers. The word love is substituted with a red heart.

Government employees are receiving a lot of cruel and baseless disparagement from Elon and the DOGE kids. I want federal workers to know we have their back and that we love them.

I hope seeing these signs up makes them smile during what is a dark time.

It would be nice.

But did they learn?
Or are they still deceiving themselves, such as after Vietnam.

Holy **shit**

Image is of a tablet weaving loom with a black and white patterned band in the process of being woven.

Pattern is established. :)

Hello world.
It feels appropriate that my first post here is a photo of Squishy preventing me from working on my latest work in progress. (While watching PBS Eons)
