This one doesn't just wander into my head. It's lodged there as chapter one of my inner monologue on how to be a parent. Do the thing. Live in the moment. You only get finite chances and they run out quicker than you'd ever imagine.

Do you remember...The Grapes of Wrath Formed in Kelowna, BC in 1983, they had two platinum albums and a gold album between 1987 and 1992. They also released four Top 40 hits including You May Be Right, which hit #7. Reformed in 2010, the band continues to tour Canada.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

If you want to browse them all together you can look at the archive view on Tumblr: catsofyore.tumblr.com/archive But that's the closest thing I have to a gallery website. I do hope to do a book someday though!

@catsofyore.bsky.social Is there a way to see your amazing collection of cat photos? 😊 Beside obviously one by one on Bluesky.

I ate too much Thanksgiving dinner and it wasn’t even that much Thanksgiving dinner. One of my least favourite things about aging. I can’t even do gluttony anymore. A whole sin just totally off limits.

Hoping such prescience was hereditary, my daughter said, “I hope I see a million dollars!” A Brinks truck drove past us, so… …maybe? 🤷

The Ravens treated me to a long photo session this morning. They are so photogenic. Took loads and it was difficult to choose my favourite but I think it's the 1st one!

Goodnight Bluesky Folks! Yesterday at work, I spotted a grey heron perched in a tree and promptly took a photo with my iPhone 17 Pro. #Birds🪶 #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #NatureLover #UKBirding #Heron #WildlifePhotograph

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you. Please know you’re not alone. Many of us still mask, test and isolate when sick. Being the lone masker can be difficult, but your long term health is worth it. As a high risk, immunocompromised person… I see and appreciate you.

I don't really know what #BannedBooksWeek is but considering queer books are being banned left and right it seems like a good time to remind readers to support queer authors and artists by buying or promoting our works.

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

The Hockey Sweater is one of the most famous books in Canadian history. The story of a boy who received the wrong hockey sweater from Eaton's has been featured on our currency, gone to space, and been turned into an iconic NFB short. This is the story. 🧵 1/12

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
