There are days I just can’t with this face. #selinabean #calico #catsofbsky #catsofbluesky #calicosofbluesky

We’ve been without power because of the ice storm in SWVA. It’s been chilly in the house. Today, Iggy burrowed into the blanket while hanging out on the bed. I think he’s a caver. #catsofbluesky #catsofbsky #meow #rescuecats

So sad that Iggy didn’t officially get to meet Patsy. She’s always been a fantastic elder. He’s been so patient with us and our sadness. Selina, too. #gingercats #creamsiclecat #catsofbsky #catsofbluesky #meow

She speaks truth.

“One day you'll look to see I've gone. For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun” Lost our sunshine girl, Patsy, today. 💔 She was 18, but we had 17 of those years with the sweetest and most amazing cat ever.

My bird flu magnum opus. Thank you to @lakdawalalab.bsky.social for giving notes

Thanks to @justsecurity.org you can see what groups & govt entities are taking DOGE & Trump to court over which issues all in one searchable place!: www.justsecurity.org/107087/track... #DOGE #catlady #clawsout

This was a black bear that decided to raid our peach tree last summer. We see them come through, periodically. This one was right outside our window in our driveway. Wasn’t as shy as the others. #blackbear #swva #virginiamountains #wildlife #bearsofbluesky #vawildlife

This old lady went to the vet, today. Both I and the vet thought, for SURE, we were going to have the “CKD” talk after her bloodwork. Nope. Clean, thankfully. We need to monitor her weight, but otherwise, she might just be old and outrageously picky. #catsofbluesky #catsofbsky #oldladycat #meow

Iggy gets “yard time” multiple times a day (outside the tent). Good thing we have an appointment soon. His breath is absolutely disgusting. #meow #catsofbluesky #catsofbsky #gingercat

This project is to create a list of closed, closing, and at-risk of closure DEIA offices, programs, and centers across the US. This list will be kept internal as we try to locate potential collections.  https://bit.ly/DEIAclose

Make your calls. It took me 5 minutes.

Can we, as the Left (or whatever), just stop blatantly posting misinformation/disinformation. It greatly hinders, rather than helps. Check sources and think about what information says. Just because something is funny and you want it to be true, doesn’t mean it is. Mistakes happen. Own them 1/

With all the ramped up fear around DEI dissolution, seems like a good time to remind #librarians & #LibraryWorkers about the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social Merritt Fund. If you face joblessness due to discrimination, the Merritt fund is here to help financially. #library www.ala.org/aboutala/aff...

How I have felt learning each new piece of news this week.

Just ‘cause he was being adorable. #cat #catsofbsky #catsofbluesky #gingercats

@5calls.org app is one I have used for the last couple of years. It makes it very easy to contact your representatives. Informative and scripts are provided. Your reps come up and you click to call. There is no excuse not to contact them.

Time to contact reps. Keep contacting them.

Driving around my quaint little town of #floydva listening to the horror movie score playlist I made is a vibe - a vibe I highly recommend. *I especially recommend “The Tall Man on Main Street” from Phantasm. #horror #horrorfilmscore #horrorfilms

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries
