Excellent. I have wanted to see/read Hillbilly Elegy without contributing anything to its author. Since have read Demon Copperhead, with your comment, I don’t have to read the other now. Thank you for that.

Today for my daughter’s birthday, she got KITTENS! They don’t even have proper names yet, but they came to the studio for their first portraits! Gotta take care of the important things first of course.
A white cat with airplane ears and long white whiskers has a smidge of pink tongue visible.
Marlee has a blep.
Human soup! So tasty!
A brown tabby with yellow eyes on a pink background.
Poppyseed’s ride-or-die BFF is Cinnamon Swirl (OK Humane Society) and she is the perfect best bud, sticking close to her blind bestie to make sure Poppyseed is always safe. She’s also super irresistible on her own.
I wish you all the best motivations for all your self care needs. Do your best, and when you can’t, just drink some water.
A black dog with white and tan markings on her face, chest, and legs. She is sitting facing forward at the viewers eye level on a dark grey background.

My best explanation is that yesterday felt like Thursday. 🤷🏻♀️
I collected their whiskers for a long time. Then gave some to a friend for her son to use making fishing flys. She sent me two of the flys back as gifts. They were also made fur from their husky.
A black kitten stands on three legs, one paw raised and claws out as if trying to capture something. She is set on a pink background.
Here’s Poppyseed (OK Humane Society) in a solo portrait, behaving for all the world like a sighted kitten, despite her eyes having been surgically removed due to a painful infection. She’s completely normal except for that whole vision thing.
A brown tabby kitten with yellow eyes stands next to a chubby black kitten with no eyes who is sitting. They are both on a smooth pink background.
Cinnamon Swirl (l) and Poppyseed (r) are a bonded pair from OK Humane Society. They must be adopted together. Poppyseed’s eyes were surgically removed after a severe eye infection and a lot of pain. Cinnamon is Poppy’s seeing eye cat!!
A yellow tabby kitty in profile doing a biiiig stretttchhh. His hind paws are far out behind him while his shoulders are precisely above his front paws. His tail stands proud above his back with just a slight curve toward his head. He is set against a purple background.
Just finished the first day of this foster portrait weekend, and I have to say this may be my new favorite cat portrait I’ve taken. Meet Beans, exhibiting an almost perfect upward dog—I mean cat.
I have those socks and a similar cat!
Yes, we moved a few years ago, but stayed in the same area. We’re so close!!!
My cats have been invited to participate in a cat parade for my cousins other grandmother. Cat parades are cool, generally speaking, but this one is on Zoom. Cats from all over the country will be there!
I had three senior citizens (self and spouse excluded) in the house when this nonsense began. No way could I get all three of them in the cellar in a timely fashion. Thankfully, it stayed south of us.
It was a birthday present some 30-ish years ago and I still have it.
I was going suggest the Brunch Bunch but Breakfast Club is better.
We’re tied!!
Somebody’s triggered.
Touch nothing!
Only if you run your finger along a surface and it leaves a clean streak.
Aw, kittens are my favorite to photograph as I can usually get them to play and pay attention. Adult cats are too set in their ways.
There’s a general rule in portrait photography that you never photograph a subject with something appearing to grow out of their head. This is an excellent way to break that rule!
Keeping your mind off your troubles!!
There are so many motorcycles and they won’t have a problem
Hah! Today I am future-Kathy, thanking past-Kathy for leaving me a note about how to do something that only comes along every two years or so.
What will present-you do today for which future-you will thank you?
As for me, I’m going to update this note!

He’s talking to #45.
