I’ve made the weekly grocery run and all I want to do now is make a cup of tea and sink into a comfy chair with a good book… but no, I have to take a dumb walk for my stupid health.

Wrapping up my long end-of-summer weekend with a trip to the exotic animal vet. And yet some people say I don’t know how to have a good time. 🤷‍♂️

They do seem to be unavoidable, but I smash the block button with wild abandon these days and that seems to help.

I forgot that “daylight saving” returns the time of year when it’s broad daylight while I’m getting ready for bed. It’s a price I’m willing to pay for a full evening’s light though.

As I was sitting here wondering why it was so cold, I realized we’ve reached the “replacing the skylights” portion of new roof day and the house is currently wide open to the outside world. Good times.

Nice to see couples out for dinner to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Cape St Vincent where a heavily outnumbered British force crushed the Spanish. Nelson captured an enemy battleship then used it as a bridge to capture another one.

Thrilled to see my emotional support pop star heading to the Superbowl again!

Sometimes, Cordy just barely tolerates me. This is one of her more welcoming moments, honestly. #tabbycat #rescuecat #catsky

Cat looks out of window as deer looks back at the cat

Cat meets forest cow.

Setting up your home office in the sun room is a great idea until it’s 10 degrees outside and it suddenly feels like you’re sitting in a meat locker.

Trail of paw prints left in fresh snow by a cat

A local cat periodically visits, but runs if it hears a sound and never seems to make an appearance if I leave food out. It clearly passed by last night.

As an American, yeah… I get it. 🙃

YouTube video by Coffee "Praise the God of all, drink the wine, and let the world be the world."

I’ve been thinking about this scene from The Tudors a lot lately. I’m not sure I really understood Suffolk’s melancholy until now.

I’m not saying our politicians are the direct cause of why we can’t have nice things… but they are.

Weird take. Like people can’t enjoy both text and video based content? 🤷‍♂️

Just signed out of my Facebook account for the first time in… a decade? Also signed off Threads. Struggling to pull the trigger on Instagram. This isn’t the easy Sunday morning I expected. #tiktokban #usa

Today in 1842 a shattered army surgeon, William Brydon, made it to Jalalabad bringing news that a British army had been annhilated in Afghanistan.

It’s 6:30 Sunday morning, of course I’m making soup 🤷‍♂️

I love the people who joined Bluesky in the last month and spend all their time posting the worst 7 pixel meme you have ever seen while lecturing people who've been here for ages about how we need to follow more people. Like thank u Kerri but my brain's broken in a totally different way than yours.

A holiday that practically insists that it leave you hungover and sleep deprived the next morning is no holiday of mine.

Well if nothing else, the quality of the bots following me here are way better than the ones from the other place.

"Aha!" said Thomas Becket #OnThisDay 1170. "NOW we see the violence inherent in the system!"

A gray tabby cat is stretched out on my lap sleeping in the sunshine.

I could honestly spend all the mornings like this.

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.

The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.

Fiat lux!

Think on…

It may not seem like it, but this is a breakthrough moment.
