I am enjoying this updated production of β€œCabaret” a lot less than I thought I would.

Crap. I have no idea how to verify myself on Bluesky. I’m going to need someone to - slowly - talk me through that. Do I need a domain name? Do I need a web presence? I’m old and baffled.

Sony reaction to the economic news is buying ninety dollars worth of spices at Penzy/a.com before tariffs hit. I plan on using the Madagascar vanilla extract as barter for lodging in the coming dystopia.

A darker ferret sleeps whilst cuddling a mottled/white ferret. The darker one is Ricky Ferret, my best cuddle boy. He is sleeping with FinnFerret, my Waardy special guy. Ricky always makes sure the other guys have cuddles, and I’m not sure what I’m going to do when he is gone.

I haven’t been posting lately. Been too sad. My beautiful loving guy Ricky Ferret has been diagnosed with lymphoma, and the outlook is grim. Started prednisolone therapy for his comfort. Staying up late to make sure he’s ok. He was my touchstone when Mom died, and I wish, More than anything.

I was wondering what β€œObeying in advance” looked like. Now I see posts where people are telling others to swerve away from β€œidentity politics” and stick to β€œbread and butter” issues.

As someone in the crosshairs due to my my identity, that seems to fit the definition of β€œobeying in advance,”

Not buying anything today. It’s a protest I can get behind, mostly because I’m poor.

A cinnamon-sable ferret sleeps face atop face with lighter colored roan. They are cuddling together, and limbs are intertwined.

Here’s my old guy Ricky, sleeping next to my waardy boy Finn. Finn has only recently discovered kisses, and by virtue of that, affection.

A couple of guys at a restaurant, drinking from a single cup. One is wearing a Mardi Gras themed jacket, and the other has a MArdi Gras themed vest. They look happy. Probably drunk.

In an absurd manner of studying for the test, I have refrained from overindulgence for a few weeks. Now that my blood and its transgressions are safely in a series of tubes, I intend to consider now through Fat Tuesday to be my cheat week.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Two men at a wedding. Both in suits. One is seated, and the other stands. The seated man is looking over his shoulder at the other, whose is kissing his forehead.

I had two cups of fully caffeinated coffee this morning so I apologize to all the people at Kroger I chatted up today.

I love it when they lick their lips in joy! Sometimes my boys will rear back from their gravy and lick their lips as if to say β€œThis is so good I can’t even”

That’s so cute when they discover stuff! Our boy Boscoi just learned how to climb completely up a pants leg to get to the kitchen table, presumably to use the Amazon app for treats.

That’s adorable! Sometimes when I am holding my oldest fuzzbutt in my arms he gazes into my eyes lovingly and poots.

Changing up my HIV regimen for the first time in eight years and I totally forgot about how nasty the initial side effects were going to be.

Hey I learned hashtags today! I was never on Xitter so I just didn’t bother. Wish I could go back and tag my pet photos! #new #bluesky

I just do ten seconds to knock off the frost but I like mine chewy.

It’s very reassuring that our Canadian friends know what’s happening and know where the blame lies. I wish it was just one person, though, and that’s a real sadness.

Thanks for sharing that! On stressful days I love to bury my face in the ferret pile and see who wakes up for kisses.

Sometimes I’m there for a while…
