Reposting as much to encourage pals in The Seventeen as to rally all of us in The Other 33 . . . .
Oh, for a response option (or two) other than <heart>!
This, this, this, my academic-leaning, scholarly-book-reading visionary friends: @upcolorado.bsky.social books are 40% off thru 12/6! #ReadPrintBooks
Noting "simple defiance": "Both inside & outside Congress, there will have to be simple defiance, joined w/a rhetoric of a better America. And, at moments at least, there will also have to be alliances among Americans who, th[o] they differ on other matters, would like to see their country endure."
Charlie Cat, the very best tabby cat, looks right at the camera. She is sitting pretty with her front paws on the bamboo kitchen mat and the rest of herself contrasted against the terrazzo tile kitchen floor. A rag rug is just visible in the back left corner. A flower-shaped felt toy is directly behind her, as if she dropped it there before she sat down for her photo shoot.

Alt title: Everyday is Charlie Day (11/15/2024)
Charlie, the very best tabby cat, leaps from a neon orange Veuve Cliquot drying mat on kitchen counter to the kitchen step stool. Captured mid-leap from the side, she is a fuzzy blur.

The image captures Charlie Cat, a tabby with a good amount of white on her face and neck, mid-head shake, her head a blur. Behind her, my forehead, some glasses frames, and a bit of darkish hair are just visible.

A jack-o-lantern sits half-buried in a pile of fallen leaves. Only the top half of the face—the triangle eyes, the top of the triangle name—is visible in a sea of mostly brown, curled and dried leaves.

In the background, fake ivy stretches across the wall above the ktichen sink, which is crowded with dishes. On the left, a partial view of me (dark short hair, dark classes, silver laptop); on the right on the counter, Charlie Cat (a tabby) curled on an almost neon orange Veuve Cliquot drying mat.

I'm teaching a course with a local nonprofit in spring, and I'm helping cultivate a convo about food and community building/organizing for the Writing Innovation Symposium. I'm hoping one or both helps me build/strengthen connections, decide where/how to contribute next, etc.
My shadow, cast in a way that makes me look like an outer space alien.
Okay! Bsky still feels a little bit alien to me—or maybe I'm the alien—but I'm here to give it another try . . . .
The image, from a calendar invite, centers the RSA conference theme, Rhetoric & Change, in mostly blue font on a white background. Above it in read square caps, the now signature hashtag: #thefeministsarecoming
At #RSA16, the newly renamed CFSHRC hosted an epic meet-up at the Pulse Bar inside the Atlanta Marriott Marquis #RSA16
(Via @CFSHRRC) As you start packing for RSA, don't forget to bring your party shoes! See you Saturday evening for our coalition meet up. #thefeministsarecoming
The image, the CFSHRC workshop poster, reads: Performing Feminist Action" and "Workshops and Mentoring" with additional event details, including "turn theory into action"; Wed. 4/6@6:30-8:30pm; Ballroom of the Americas, Salon A; #4C16 #CWSHRC Along the bottom of the image, in graffIti-style letters: I <3 FEMINISM
On FB, #TheFeministsAreComing pops up, at least for me, starting in 2016. For example:
(Via @CFSHRC) Wow wow wow wow: A week ago today so many of us were together at #4C16 performing feminist action with #CWSHRC.
The image centers a just-poured beer and a Prosecco sat on hotel bar cocktail napkins. A palm tree reminds us the location was Tampa.
In honor of #FemRrhet23, I took a quick walk down memory lane. The earliest use of #TheFeministsAreComing may have been #4C15 in Tampa.
A CFSHRC post reads: At #4C15 and celebrating. #thefeministsarecoming #thefeministsarehere.

Well, dammit. @theconversationus.bsky.social needs to do better!
At least for me, your post contains this complementary earworm— www.youtube.com/watch?v=owJ8... —which is delightful!
Charlie, a tabby cat, inspects the red "W" bandage on my upper arm. I'm leaning over, my head mostly hidden behind hers, my sleeve rolled up.
An open box with the yellow square of a folded t-shirt visible on top. The shirt reads: Cubs AF—or, really, if you follow the visual puns, Cubs @AFF which stands for American Family Field. Below it: #letsgocubbies. Not quite visible below that: #wrigleynorth NB: This is the shift I'm wearing in the previous pic.
Attn @lecagle.bsky.social: Double vaxxed yesterday, flu and COVID!
Sadly, it was no inoculation against loss, and the Cubs lost to the Brewers in the 10th inning yesterday. Of course, #ItsNotOverTilItsOver so #LetsGoCubbies #WrigleyNorth
Also #Caturday
Charlie, a tabby cat, sits on astroturf like a loose loaf under a large gold spray-painted cougar situated in the crook of a windowless, well-lit hallway. The cougar wears a strand of Mardi Gras beads; Charlie does not seem impressed.
Okay, okay, bsky.social. We may not stop by a lot, but Charlie and I think we might like it here.
Also: Flu & COVID vaxes scheduled for later this week! HBBD, @lecagle.bsky.social!
A tabby cat concentrates intently as she swipes at a black olive with her all black, mitten-like inner paw.
<tap, tap> Is this thing on? The internet still can haz cats, right? And, since we're on the brink of fall, maybe also #rhetsoup . . . .
