Every part of the lily plant is deadly to cats - even drinking water that lilies were sitting in can kill them. Other popular spring flowers like tulips and daffodils can also make them very sick, but there are plenty of beautiful and safe alternatives.

Black and white photo of a billboard with a woman eating a hamburger and smiling as her hair whips around her. The caption reads "Swing to gas, it's the savingest" there is a couple dancing some new=fangled dance in the background.

Cool Blue Halo - Too Much Kathleen (1997) YouTube video by Waye Mason

An old friend reminded me about this Cool Blue Halo song from 1997 and DAMN, it is still a lovely little tune. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ8V...

A quilt made up of 30 blocks. Each block shows a person in front of a redbrick wall, looking around the corner.

I saw an image of this Fannie Shaw quilt at the Dallas Museum of Art and my first thought was, "What if this was a Twin Peaks quilt? Like all the characters in front of the red curtain?" I will never do this but please do take this idea if you want it. image.dma.org/iiif/2/produ...

Silver Bells, by Cedarstrip Rocketship track by Cedarstrip Rocketship

Every year I like to share this version of "Silver Bells" I helped make (you can hear me playing saxophones & singing gang vocals). It's sad and wistful and messy and joyful all at the same time, the way the holidays tend to be. cedarstriprocketship.bandcamp.com/track/silver...

I can't stop thinking about how when I made a blood donation on Halloween, none of the phlebotomists were dressed as any kind of blood suckers (leech, mosquito, vampire, etc..). Missed opportunity!

@midnightsisters.org Hi - Creative Commons is trying to get in touch with you. Could you send me a DM?

When your cat wakes you up at an ridiculous hour, do you, like me, then wake them at less than ideal times that day so they know how it feels? Or are you a good and kind person?

I did zero to prepare to see Alex Ross Perry's "Pavements", I just thought, "oh this is about Pavement, sign me up!" As I watched it in the theatre, I proceeded to think things like, "how did I miss this?" and "I do NOT remember that". Found out afterwards that it was docu-fiction, not documentary!

One very large dilute calico cat sits on a balcony and gives some very suspicious side eye.

One whole year with this round friend!

WOW WOW WOW!

La Luna, by Daniel Romano 3 track album

The lovely and prolific Daniel Romano can do just about anything. I can't explain why this is my favourite album to play in the background at work. It just blends right into my brain. danielromano.bandcamp.com/album/la-luna

Once a year or more often, I remember that George Michael existed then I listen to his whole catalogue. These are very good songs! So darn good!

I wish it had been a more helpful reply!
