Friends! It’s turning hot again, but there’s been a lovely strong breeze. I love it when the Red Roses come out. Remember we made our own Hundred Acre Wood last year? It’s still here and it’s the perfect place to sit, with Petals falling around me, and the Breeze on my face 🌹#MalcysMindfulMoments

Private jets (worldwide) polluted more than all flights from Heathrow, study finds - The Washington Post

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

We interrupt your day to bring you a tiny dose of cuteness. #Moana #Kittens #CatsOfBluesky

Supremes say parents can opt out of letting their kids listen to LGBTQ stories. Can parents similarly opt out of kids listening to stories that DON'T have LGBTQ themes or incidents? 🤣

Friends! I tried the new Tent when the Kittens were out in the Catio, and I rather liked it. When the Kittens came back in, I think they were a bit miffed about the situation, but they respect me so much, they didn’t disturb me. I know it’s their Birthday Present so I won’t monopolise it for long!

A bit of a slowdown today - need another 250 signatures by 8am tomorrow to hit our daily #parkypetition100K target. If you’ve already signed grab a friend….or three! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Over 10 million people would lose health care under Medicaid if Trump's budget bill passes. Mitch McConnell says we'll "get over it." Think he's right?

Going to Glastonbury or got a stall there? Become part of the movement calling for a better deal for the millions of people – including many famous musicians – living with Parkinson’s. The QR code will take you to our petition- please sign and share! #parkypetition100k

Friends! We are two weeks away from the Kittens’ 1st birthday and Mum has decided to spread out the birthday presents a little. So today the Kittens receive a Tent! They were fascinated by it on Day One, and were quite well-behaved with it. Baby Dog too. But will it last…?

Going to the vet for some pokes and prods. #Maui #kittens #CatsOfBluesky

I'm over here playing chess, not checkers, although yes: with checkers pieces. It adds a lot of fun guesswork.

Friends! With all this hot weather, we have been on #FlyWatch in the house. Well, I haven’t, because they don’t bother me, but Flies are pretty new for the Kittens and they are rather perturbed by them. Ron definitely fancies himself as The Fly Catcher… but he’s got a tough job! 🪰

Her peek-a-boo game is strong. #Simea #kittens #CatsOfBluesky

Friends! I told Baby Dog and the Kittens that it was the Summer Solstice and they were excited, so we decided to spend time outside together at dusk and watch the sun set on the Longest Day. We all felt some Magic in the air and the Kittens were convinced something magical was going to happen.

Well done everyone- after a slow start for the #parkypetition on Friday we eventually stormed it with 874 new signatures, well ahead of the 630 daily target. Now looks likely we can hit 50K by this time tomorrow- perhaps even late today petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Well it’s a bit tight - we still need 66 more signatures by 8:45am on Saturday..surely we can do that?! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...
