It does not look like that memo was well-received...

We canines claim moms' personal space as our own, but our cat sisfur does not. She is not a 'cuddle bug' like many other cats; she is an independent 'Ms. Cat to you' type.

In my new love affair with working out, I've met my addictive brain in a radically different setting from the mucky undergrowth that first sprouted it. I learned to be an addict in junk houses, dive bars, apartments with a single stained mattress on the floor as furniture; I've done coke off surfaces I wouldn't even sit on now. I've met WASP-type addicts in recovery whose alcoholism was rather a genteel thing, learned from parents over champagne toasts in Martha's Vineyard, but mine was always grubby and it was always secret: if a room could comfortably grow mushrooms along its dingy grouting, I could get high in it. Imagine my surprise at finding out that I can still get drunk in the fluorescently lit weight room at the Y, even without secrecy, even without liquor. I'm still doing it til it hurts. Til some as-yet-unexplored cave system inside myself floods with a familiar gushing pain, because hurting myself is the only way I've ever been able to know myself.

Happy Birthday to your mom, Peyton! She's a light in a (these days) often dark world! 💜

That’s right kick his ass!!

Even the animals aren’t safe….

two tons of empathy
a gazillion gazillion pounds of tolerance

We all hope Kid's maximum sads dissipate quickly. But, it's okay to feel what you feel; just know there are better days ahead.

My Mom is also autistic, but she is *highly* empathetic. She finds that many neurotypicals are not very empathetic towards neurodivergent people. The expectation is that we 'change', or 'adapt', or 'learn' to be more like them. They don't get that it's not a choice.

For some of us, yes, there are.

For others, much is forgiven/overlooked for the sake of money & perceived power.

Our deepest sympathies for your loss. Missy Bobtail will be sorely missed. 💔

Awwwww😍

Hihihi. Kid has pizza. Pls put pizza in Karlmouf.

Pizzabones!! Did you score, Karl?

You lucky dawg, you!

Frens, we just went for our after-dinner walk. The sky was amazing!

Congratulations to @stephenking.bsky.social for having 23 banned books! 👍🏆

It's raining, so Mom's reading and also avoiding non-spousal humans...

Excellent strategy! Did it pay off?

I’ve not watched Episode 2 in a while (just never returned lately even as a prequel fan) but:

Star Wars Episode 9: Rise of Skywalker, was NEVER bad.

NEVER.

It ended the sequel trilogy on a cathartic, satisfying note, and I’ll never stop fighting others’ attempts to belittle it and its fans.

Happy #WorldBeardDay! Bearded dogs are the BEST! (We may be biased!) 🤣😘❤️🐾🎉🎅🏼 #sealyham #sealyhamterrier #beard #beards #dogs #dogsofbluesky #beard #terriers

Asa, wow...just wow. You, and your mom and dad must have been quite concerned, but you were all SO brave!

Heal fast and fully, fren. 💜

Mom says thanks. She says she should post another pix, 'cause most of the perennials are in bloom now, but it's raining and she doesn't really feel like going outside 🤷🏼‍♀️
