The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

This clever kitty must be related to my dog, Cora. Always a sock in her mouth or near herβ€”usually multiple. πŸ˜† She prefers to carry one for each family member when she can collect them all at once.πŸ’–

THE CHILDREN, Melissa Albert: This is an extraordinary book. It's a page-turner, full of mystery, but that's the least of it. The language is dusted with magic. I haven't read anything like it since Ray Bradbury.
Will be published June 2nd. My advice: Be first in line.

Overheard from living room:

Cartoon police officer: β€œNo loitering!”

5yo to his big brother: β€œWhat’s β€˜loitering’? I know what β€˜LITTERING’ is but not loitering!”

TV apparently does NOT rot your brains. In moderation, anyway. πŸ˜† Glad we have a new vocabulary word in our mental dictionary. πŸ’–

I have a friend that needs money to buy a new pacemaker, so I'm selling some prints!

These 3 are the only ones available (16" x 20"). I only have one of each, but each can be purchased and shipped for $50.

DM to claim, first come, first serve!

Yet another scam, writing friends. Be careful out there. πŸ–€ And support real art and artists, not AI slop.

Two silver Labrador Retrieversβ€”one light grey, the other dark greyβ€”looking at the camera as if expecting to be given a treat.

These two look so similar…but goddess help you if you make the mistake of trying to hand Frank a treat rather than throwing it at him. You may lose a finger to his exuberance. On the other paw, Cora can be trusted to delicately pluck any food item from any hand without so much as breathing on you.πŸ˜†

So much household maintenance stuff to do today . . . and I don’t want to do ANY of it. πŸ˜†

Please excuse while I go scream into the mountain of clean laundry that I do not want to deal with.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
