My home office here in Seattle, specifically the Fremont neighborhood. As silly as it may seem, I try to add a little bit of joy, whimsy, and warmth to work and home 🦋

I used this as well when I filled out my ballot today. It was a big help for the judges, and a couple other people I didn't know...

One of my *many* saved memes - but a favorite for how it relates to the weekend 😁

I don't normally share these, but sometimes you're a little proud of yourself 😎 Wordle 1,938 2/6 🟩🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

My opinion...

I am looking for a new role in a tight Seattle job market. So far this week I've had 6 interviews: every one was w/ an AI prompt platform. Tomorrow I have three more - two with AI which will decide if I go forward, and one a follow up w/ a human from a previous AI call. #AILife #2026jobhunting

@absintheofcolor.bsky.social I just saw your response to my post and yes, in cards that's one of the styles I use. The other styles I honor/emulate are: Rothko, Calder, and Ellsworth Kelly. All favorites of mine. But a total coincidence - I just saw this post 👇and look on the back wall. 😎

A friend of the family in his 80's & still running his own business, created a t-shirt design w/ me in mind & sent one to me. So of course need to send a thank you note 🙂 One of the things I do when I send notes (not Xmas cards) is always add a little piece of art 🎨 It's never fancy just cheerful:

Pretty clear metaphor and a good one! (Except unfortunately those w/ too many acorns don't actually feel it's a problem, only society does...) And what makes this even more timely is that this is an acorn mast year. Brilliant 🌰

Okay, I'll join the club... As I have looked at other's, I see SO many albums I have loved, listened to often, and consider a 'part of my life' as it were. The ones I chose though were *extra* special to me and all of them for kinda different reasons. The only extra I couldn't fit was Van Halen 🎶🎵

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

I watched this when it came out & really dug it. I already find him super funny, but in addition to the humor, I adored the *structure* of this special. I also often listen to his weekly YT post before falling asleep at night, as it's nice to have one night a week I go to bed smiling and laughing 😁

I'm going in a different direction w/ my #caturday post today and sharing a cool mural I took a picture of in Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen. #Copenhagen #FreetownChristinia #CatArt

What I change my avatar to every October... #Vampire #VampireMeme #NotDracula

Butterbutt. An older comic.

This exclusive of mine last night went viral on X. Not so here, so flagging it up again & with an update. There was a direct strike on the roof of the Odesa animal shelter + four other hits nearby according to one of the volunteer managers. 10 cats + 3 dogs were killed. bsky.app/profile/twmc...

I learned today my local Fred Meyer no longer carries rutabaga I asked & was told it actually sells really well, but the produce mgr wanted that space for more 'interesting' items I love rutabaga, parsnips & turnips in gratins, roasted, stews, etc. & find them very 'interesting'! Boo 😒 #cooking

Yesterday I saw a recommendation for this movie which said it had 'cured' a rough week. I needed some escapism, so decided to watch it last night. Sheer delight! Funny, silly, joke dense from opening scene till the end. I knew how it would end 15 min in, & it took nothing away from the enjoyment

I have had a frustrating day today - so I'm going to share some silly animal mems...

Not this one by chance... 😎

For my #caturday posts today, I thought I'd share some memes I have saved...

This is one of my favorite Kennedy Center performances... youtu.be/LFxOaDeJmXk?...

After my cat almost got lost last week and I almost broke my neck to rescue him - he is no longer allowed to go outside. He has now taken to meowing at a high volume, and weirdly scratching at the front door. I'm convinced he's going to raise a paw and yell "Attica!" any minute now...

The new AI captchas are really something ᵛⁱᵃ ˣᴷᶜᴰ

My POV --> I was not informed that after 50: * even if your fingernails never broke before, they will constantly break from here on out * you will 'pluck' your chin from now until you die * you will understand why some ppl have ledges or 'seat-type' things in their showers Not happy about this 🤷‍♀️

There is SO much news, I get lost more than I would like to be, but, isn't he suing some group (or entity, media corp, individual, etc...) and the discovery phase of the pre-trial portion of the process about to start? Is this to argue that he should be able to keep his job after details emerge?

Tonight I climbed over the 3rd floor balcony of my apartment building, w/ no safety & nothing to protect me. I wrapped my arms around the railing (quality = aluminum) & used my toes to grip the edge b/c my f*cking cat Aloysius got stuck between the 3rd & 2nd second floors of my building.

Since today is the first Seattle Seahawks game of the season... #Seattle #Seahawks #CatsofBluesky

Some slightly good news for North Atlantic right whales: four consecutive years of small increases after a big decline, and four first-time mothers recorded darchive.mblwhoilibrary.org/entities/pub...

It disappeared for nearly a century. 🦋 Now, one of the rarest butterflies in the country is clinging to survival on a small patch of Washington landscape and getting a helping hand from scientists and conservationists determined to save it. Full feature: youtu.be/rwA1vcHq3fY?...

Today marks the centenary of the funeral of a great stars of the silver screen: #RudolphValentino. The museum holds over 300 items relating to Valentino’s career, including this invitation to his #funeral & mourning cloth which belonged to silent star Mabel Normand (EXEBD 2280) #filmsky #musuemsky

It took the Apollo astronauts three days to get to the Moon. The New Horizons spacecraft did that distance in nine hours. And it still took nine-and-a-half years to reach Pluto. The Solar System is stupid big.

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

There's a full moon outside my window. The temperature is perfect, as I have both windows open and am sleeping under a comforter. The kittens are sated, warm, and sleepy/snuggly. 💚

I gave the kittes a new toy & boy did it cause a reaction! Bjorn was playing when he decided: "this is the hill I will die on" & proceed to guard that wand toy like it was a kitten he popped out himself! I tried to remove it, but he *hissed* at me; Bjorn has never hissed. The wand toy is his...
