🇨🇦🇨🇦 Canadian techy nerd/galactic sci-fi being. 🇺🇦💛🇺🇦💙NO DMs. Liberal, Ally. I write, edit, cook, take pictures, garden, knit for cat rescues. Bossed by 4 rescue cats. Nflder in NS. #slavaUkraine "We are caged in simulations" ~ Muse
Thought for hump day. Life is better with cats, in my case four rescued, indoor, neutered and needled furbucket friends. #Catsofbluesky #catsmakelifebetter #rescueisthebestbreed
Happy Caturday to all! First, Herby and I did chair yoga. He watched for a while then got up on the back of the chair and onto my shoulder. Then I brought the Herd home a new scratch unit with great Meowsterpieces on it. #caturday #BlueSkyCats #rescuecats #rescueisthebestbreed #adoptdontshop
conservative government keep your hands off our books challenge
Herby has taught himself a new trick. He now leaps onto my shoulder when I’m at the counter, either from the butcher block or straight up from the floor. He doesn’t use his claws, he is very gentle and then proceeds to scrub against me, purring & cuddling. #blueskycats #tabbiesofbluesky #cats

Media Release of the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs.
Current condition every Friday, but especially this one with the bullshite our NS cons government is trying to pull on us and our arts community.
Sadie Beaton wrote this piece for the Examiner about Tuesday's noon hour rally at the Nova Scotia Legislature.
Based on the emails we've been receiving and the things I'm hearing from Nova Scotians, I would expect a substantial turnout.
You can appear at Public Bills to speak about the Nova Scotia government’s proposed cuts
The furbucket brigade is resting up for Caturday shenanigans tomorrow. #Blueskycats #catsofbluesky #caturday #rescuecats #adoptdontshop
Tulip Withdrawal Syndrome has been averted! I buy my tulips, grown in PEI, at either Stirling Farm Market in Greenwich or or Buds and Bygones in Wolfville. The latter JUST got in fresh tulips, Pdoubles and possibly viridiflora or parrots. Wheeeee! Cassie approves of them as always.

Our south-facing side where my door is has stalactites coming down... and stalagmites growing up. I was able to clear the deck, for now, but this is crazy dangerous stuff. #overwinternow #killericicles #iceisonlyfordrinks
Grieved to my heart's core about the news out of Tumbler Ridge, BC. Only thing I can offer up is a gentle picture of two of my furballs for #whiskerswednesday. They were helping me after I finished an interview and opened some seed packages from All America Selections. #catsofbluesky
Prayers for Tumbler Ridge. I don't know what else to say at this time in the face of this immense tragedy and crime.
Baby, it's cold outside.....but the work continues!
If you need help with building or obtaining a shelter, contact us. STRAW, not blankets that can become ice sheets when wet, is the best insulation.

They leave paw prints all over our hearts, don't they? This little turkey is very clever and also very naughty. I adopted him and his 'brother' from a rescue in Sussex, New Brunswick about 2 ½ years ago and he is the best of boys. (sometimes). 😆
Happy #Caturday from the very tired tabby Herby Bells. He's actually stolen his human's chair and isn't really tired, just waiting to play. #BlueSkyCats #BlueSkyTabbies #favouritebreedisrescue #rescuecats #Adoptdontshop
TFIFF. Cassie agrees, hopes everyone is well & likes her floof. She approves of this week’s tulips, too. She and her siblings never bother the cut flowers, just need to approve them when I bring them home. #BlueskyCats #catsofbluesky #rescuecats #flowers #blueskycalico #tulips #springwillcome
Enough said. Hope is vital to life, for those living with cancer, and their loved ones, and well, for pretty much everyone these days. A dear friend's relative is fighting for his life, & is ever in my thoughts. #fuckcancer #firefighterrelatedcancers #keepfighting
Sing it, Bruce. Sing it, good Americans, and for the love of humanity do something to rid the country of that orange menace and his stormtroopers.
Not sure what has happened to the Cats of BlueSky feed but it seems stuck. Her Royal Floofiness Princess Cassie Marie Growltiger is not impressed by this. #BlueSkyCats #cats #catsofBluesky #rescueisthebestbreed #rescuekitty
It was murder, the word is murder, not execution or extrajudicial execution (which doesn't exist), it is murder. A crime.

Kindly fuck off, Donald.
Alexi Pretti was a loved and respected nurse helping critically ill veterans.
He was beaten and murdered on the streets of Minneapolis by paramilitaries in the employ of Donald Trump.

It's #felinefriday, and what better way to acknowledge than with a lovely calm piece of art. I do not care if it's made by AI or not. It promptly poured calming oil on the troubled water of my mind, & is worth sharing with others.
These offerings make me happy, pouring a little peaceful oil on the troubled waters of the world. Thank you for sharing them.
Courage, friends. The ten darkest weeks of the year are behind us, we're gaining minutes of daylight each day, and we are closer to spring every day. We will endure.
A peaceful painting to ease into Thursday.
