You are good people.

If that adoption falls through, please let us know. I have rescue friends in the Bay Area who can help get the word out.

You heard her, people.

There are days I need to use an electric cart in a grocery store, days I can manage with just my cane, and days I can walk in, and do all my shopping sans aids. I never know which till the day.

What people don’t see: after putting things away at home, with help from my spouse, I need to lie down.

What is your hope for your children’s future?

Tater, our blind foster kitten, is getting loved on by staff and volunteers at CAT. 🐈 This industrial strength scratching post is his new favorite thing.

Please note: if you are interested in adopting him, he is listed as Solanum. Now at Cat Adoption Team, Sherwood, OR

We have a Cheese Queen at our favorite store in Portland and she is both a font of wisdom and a delight. 🐭

Portland never stops being Portland.

Someone asked me why I talk to my cats because, in their words, “It’s not like your pets understand what you are saying.”

Suffice to say, there comes a time when a friendship has simply run its course.

Our gang would love that. 🐈📚🐕‍🦺

Greetings from Portland. We were expecting visitors but as no one has RSVP’d, the party might be off.

Our blind golden tabby boy got his stitches out and is finally free of the cone. He likes his new room at the Cat Adoption Team and is waiting for his forever home. We will miss this loving, brave kitten. He was a joy to foster.

Our blind foster kitten Tater, now free of the cone, is enjoying a huge scratching post in his room at the Cat Adoption Team. You can visit him there if you can offer him a safe and loving indoor only home. We want the best possible home for this special little guy.

Our blind foster kitten Tater is exploring his new room at CAT. He has lots of his favorite “noisy” toys and beds and even a video player with nature sounds.

Our blind foster Tater Tot (official name Solanum)* got his stitches out. He has his own room at CAT with his favorite toys, nature sounds via video and a fab scratching post.
He enjoyed exploring his space and got cuddles from staff. #cats Cat Adoption Team, Sherwood, OR

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Thank you

When Will the Lion Concern Himself Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Happy #Caturday. Our blind foster kitten Tater gets his stitches out on Monday. Can anyone offer this loving, playful boy a home? He will need a safe environment. That said, he is a healthy, cuddly lap cat and gives the best purrs. #cats #kittens
