So glad to know she is OK. 🧡Nina💚

Oh no! Is she OK now? I had that happen to a geriatric kitty with hypertension. Very scary. Lots and lots of love to darling Nina.

Wearing a respirator mask in all public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 provides safety for yourself and for those around you.

Why would any rational person refuse to wear a respirator mask?

Why would any rational person refuse to be safe?

It is a special table of eternal love, darling Poppy. And yes, maybe... 🥹
Have you been on your best behavior today, my love? 🧡

That is a very very special table indeed, my darling Poppy. Try to leave it alone. You'd be making your ma very unhappy if things on that table broke. 😢🐾💜

Oh Poppy!

Oh, Poppy! What a mess! I know you didn't mean it; it's all that energy you have that makes you want to run and check things out! 😲🐾🧡

Uh oh. Will do! 😲

Poppy, my love! Why are you in trouble? Is that a scratcher? Cool! 🐾😘

Congratulations! 👏🧡🫂🎉

Snow laden trees and scene around pond, painting.

January I was January, a brumal bride and, slack-souled, the blood roamed my body, glacial-paced. Heart purpled, it pumped its bruise, until I was the anaesthetic of Winter, who in my love poverty, watched the warmer months of others unfold, unable to transcend the heaviness. A January who shivered my words, bleached and ossified, until my brittle lines could unfurl and reach out their moon fingers.

A poem from my collection, In the Shadow of Gods. It’s called January.

New study confirms far higher risk of blood clots from COVID-19, than from vaccines A health data study confirms the risk of blood clots is far higher from COVID-19 infection than from vaccination.

Your risk of blood clots after a Covid infection are 30 times higher. There are risks with all medications, the risks are very small compared to the far greater risk from COVID itself! Much of the media is focused on the incredibly small risk.

Sumi-e black ink on paper. A single bamboo stalk with leaves. Art by me.

First practice ink painting with a few of my new brushes. Painting bamboo is so meditative, I think. How did I live without these brushes?? 🩶🎋

Jon Stewart is a liberal grifter whose self-satisfied views are not worthy of serious consideration.

His casual mockery of those who choose to wear respirator masks during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is unwise, unacceptable, and unforgivable.

A photo of me in a coat, scarf, Flo Mask, and hat. I am in a public park in a residential area.

Mockery is never funny.

Doom on you, Jon Stewart. I would never want to share your air.

Stunning!!
