Please send that weather our way! We have mud, snow piles that probably won’t melt until April, and it’s 40 and foggy. 😐

🫂🫂 from me and the kitties! I hope you have a purring cat nearby to help relax you...I say as Annie sits beside me on the couch, purring away 😻😻

❤️ this has been my earworm for the past couple of weeks. so much layered meaning!!!

Oh nooooo!!!! Hope you both feel better soon!! ❤️

she is!! and she will allow some gentle rubbing of her exquisite belly fur when she's zonked out like that.

Annie, a large longhaired brown tabby with white feet, sleeps on a lilac colored blanket on a brown couch. She’s sleeping on her side, slightly stretched out.

Awww. The resident floofbeast has decided to become a couch kitty again (winter hibernation habit; she usually prefers the futon in my office). Very LORGE pile o’ fur parked next to me! 😻😻😻

It’s nice here today too, and will be tomorrow as well. Friday will be an icy snowy sleeting mess 🥶🥶🥶

😢 that stinks!! I’m probably missing Christmas with my second family because of a snow/ice storm that’s coming our way. I hope you feel better soon and wishes for a merry Christmas to the whole family! 💜🎄

Over here, Annie is remembering what happens when mom is home and bored 😹😹 (she is an exceptionally tolerant floofbeast and was given treats for putting up with my silliness!)

❤️❤️🤣🤣 OMG this is the best!! I love your grandkiddo!!

We’ve been explaining book reviews for YEARS in library sessions. The students hear and retain what they want to, though 🤦‍♀️

officially on winter break until January 5!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'm so sorry for you and Kathryn!! I remember meeting her when she was just a tiny baby, and indeed she was feisty and spicy 😹 Hugs to you both, and I hope the rest of the kitty crew is giving you lots of snuggles. ❤️🫂

Holy hell. I can’t imagine being that dependent upon technology to function. Gen X was born during wild technology transitions and failures. We know better than to assume that your technology is going to work when you need it to.

I don't believe Chrome is what's considered an "AI-powered browser" the same way some, like Perplexity's Comet browser, are. My instructional tech colleagues found that Comet can actually take quizzes inside an LMS 😭🤯😬

Go behind the browser with Chrome’s new AI features Google Chrome is getting upgraded with the latest AI to make it safer, smarter and more useful

I'm primarily a Chrome user but don't engage with any of their obvious AI tools. Two most obvious are: Gemini (Google's AI) is now built in to the browser through a tab, & there's an AI mode in the search bar. This overview might help: blog.google/products/chr...

Happy birthday, Carol!!! Hope you have lovely day with Kathryn and kitties!! 🎂❤️

I bypass the Smart TV shitshow by using a Roku stick and installing / connecting my apps that way 😂 may be silly but it’s a sanity saver!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Kathryn, and the family!! ❤️❤️

A very happy birthday to Kathryn!!!! 🎂❤️🥳 @anonnyancat.bsky.social

Happy anniversary to you and @anonnyancat.bsky.social !!!! Many there be many more ahead!!! ❤️🧡💛💙💚💜💖

It’s ANNIE DAY!!! Nine years of the most adorable, ridiculous floofbeast being part of my life 😻😻😻 Happy gotcha day to my lovebug!!!!

I was thinking of you both as I did a little victory cheer in my office upon seeing this news!!! Happy early anniversary!!!! 🥰💜💜💜

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.

10 Nov 2025 -- Supreme Court turns down right-wing appeal to re-visit gay marriage decision Obergefell v Hodges, and potentially carve out exceptions for (mainly Christian conservative) anti-marriage officials. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

Same!! And I learned this summer that the welcome centers in eastern MT and western SD stock maps of adjacent states…so I was able to score a Nebraska map even though we didn’t pass by any welcome centers while actually in Nebraska.

When I cleaned out my dad’s car, I discovered he had amassed a collection of paper state maps from his travels after my mom died. I kept them and have made it a habit to stop and grab more to add to the collection. I collected 8 this summer! 🗺️

Same, even though they broke my 16 year old heart in 1993 when they beat the Phillies in the World Series. It helps that their star rookie pitcher is from my hometown!!

You are brave to get them at the same time! I got COVID and flu shots 48 hours apart a few years back and never again. I was miserable.
