Spending part of my evening talking about New Orleans history and folklore with one of my favorite historians on the topic? Yes please!

I've had 10 cats, 3 dogs, 2 turtles, a gerbil, a raccoon, and a blue gil as pets in my life.

It's Professional Administratives day and all I got was my lunch cut short and having to bring my work home. Not even a kind email. #fuckcapitalism

Well, got 4/5 cats in carriers before the sirens stopped. Gotta love Midwest spring.

Take better care of yourself! Content is no reason to abandon self-care.

Picture of a frozen creek bed with animal tracks in the snow.

Loving the heron footprints in the snow. He's one of my favorite regular visitors to my yard.

Going out in -5° F with pantaloons under my skirt, like I don't also do this in 100°F under 2 skirts. #bellydancer

Last time I checked ours, there was duck and Cornish hens. It is so hard not to impulse shop.

My neurosparkly ass is so pleased to have my switch @loopearplugs.bsky.social back in my life. And they sent me an awesome pair of Engage too, which I have been wanting to try.

Thoughts... Why do cars seem so gauche when creating a fictional setting? Is our cultural connection to traveling by foot or horse that much stronger? Or is it because travel by modern methods is too mundane?

A bowl of 4 bulbs worth of peeled, roasted garlic.

I'm still not sure this is enough garlic 🧄 for 4 people. 1 bulb per person. What do you think?

Taste adventure incoming.

All our love to @thizzl.bsky.social

Far-right conspiracy theorists have resumed targeting Drag Story Hour in NYC following Trump's win.

At Queens Public Library in Jackson Heights, a handful of conspiracists are yelling expletives across the street from about 30 defenders chanting, among other things, "wipe your hard drive."

A view of Puerto Rico from the mountains of the El Yunque Rainforest. Tree covered mountains and hills give way to the ocean in the distance. Barely visible near the coast you can make out San Juan. A beautiful blue sky with large fluffy clouds.

Lucky to visit Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 where I took this breathtaking photo.
Reading "War Against All Puerto Ricans: Revolution and Terror in America's Colony" by Nelson Denis. The truth of the horrors committed against them by the US is the stuff of nightmares.
Possible reflections on my reading coming.

I'm proud to be in bed (and stand) with the local teachers' unions. They are the ones who know best how to educate the children of tomorrow. Oh, and since I know you are wondering... the sex is amazing.
