Happy Barack Obama Appreciation Day!

What a great job @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social is doing today in downtown Los Angeles. Catching everything on camera (kudos to the camera crew!) is SO important during this time. Stay safe!

Called it 6 months ago. Surprised it took that long.

I filed my taxes. Felt ill the entire time knowing that I'm helping to pay for what is going on right now.

Congratulations to the crew of "The Pitt" on a job well done. Already can't wait for season 2.

I am normally a very empathetic person. Elon Musk could have remained the quirkiest and richest man on the planet and just kept raking in the $$. He was the one who chose to engage in a disgusting power and money grab. He deserves what he gets. Sorry, no sympathy here.

Pippin checks out what is going on in the outside world and decides he is safer indoors.

This scares me. Because if they are holding those people in Gitmo, we will not get to see how they are being treated. We will not be able to protest outside of the front gate. They are going to 'disappear' them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Didn't we decide that "trickle-down economics" was bunk a long time ago???

Mishka is just planning to sleep through the next four years with brief tea breaks. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Watching Bishop Budde on the @maddow.msnbc.com show. The woman is being subjected to "good Christians" wishing her dead while the leader of the ENTIRE country takes to social media to egg them on. I wish I could say that this isn't who we are.

Pippin is all twisted up over the news these days. #cats

For anyone who works in higher ed - hang in there. The semester is almost over!

Yesterday's cake project.

Every year I look forward to the beginning of December... so I can stop being spammed about Medicare Coverage Check-Up ads. I get it - you want everyone to be aware. But seriously - every commercial break???

What's getting me through this terrible, horrible, no-good fall? My pets of course. Here is my newest kitten Pippin on the day I told him that Harris/Walz did not win the election. #catpics #catsofbluesky #cats

Feel like I am neglecting my pittie mix Ella. Wanted at least one dog that will bark at people who approach my house. #dogsofbluesky

I would like to thank everyone involved in #OFMD - cast, crew, fans - for giving me something to focus on during these past few weeks. I have a feeling I'll be rewatching our favorite gay pirates on repeat during the next four years. Here's hoping that MAX doesn't remove it from their offerings.

Here's my boy relaxing after leading the Siberian Husky sled pack during the Williamsburg, VA Holiday Parade. He's sexy and he knows it. #dogsofbluesky

I am so confused about people who get their knickers in a twist about bathroom usage. Everyone has their own stall, no one has to see anyone else's business. Even in men's rooms (which I have been in but you don't need to know why) have stalls and you don't have to pee at the urinal. Why the fuss?

Got the best kind of news today - I'm going to get to see my daughter next week! This whole living 6 hours away from each other really sucks. :(

2/2 - All of that being said, if you're just looking for a gullible person to scam and approach me because "you've been reading all of my posts and are so impressed" don't waste your time. I get enough of that on FB. If I want insincere flattery I'll ask my husband if he thinks my butt looks big.

Just a quick note - I generally don't answer DMs unless a) I know you in person b) you want to talk OFMD or c) you are curious about something I've written and want clarification. I welcome healthy discussion. 1/2

I am only JUST NOW finding #dogsofbluesky? Greetings friends! This is Tikaani - an 11 year old rescue husky who is my sweet baby boy. Absolutely refusing to come in the house (because there's snow, duh!)

I've always thought that Joe Scarborough was a pompous ass, but @meidastouch.bsky.social really said it best. Hello from the "Real World" Joe. www.meidasplus.com/p/dear-morni...

So if anyone has seen my mind, would you please tell it I'm looking for it?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Did they seriously think that this would "win him over?"

So I'm taking bets... how long before Musk wears out his welcome and that whole bromance implodes?

Had to take a break from world ending doom scrolling to pat myself on the back for finishing 2 out of 3 big projects at home this weekend. (To quote Mr. Loaf - Don't be sad, two out of three ain't bad!) Here's Snaps enjoying Project #1: The Cat Tower.

So, politically minded friends, what are your thoughts on pre-emptive pardons? Looks like it's going to be the only way to shield some folks from the "house cleaning" that is coming.

I want to be able to say something hopeful and pithy about the current state of things. Unfortunately I'm still like my kitty Pippin here, who is just stretched out and ignoring life. Still gobsmacked by the election results and every new cabinet announcement makes me feel like I'm being punked.

Hello BlueSky! Here is Mishka, our Pandemic Pup, waiting for someone to play chess with him. Glad to be here!
