I made this bread and it made me happy. This week has been a lot and I just needed a minute. So many of us are feeling confused, angry, scared and overwhelmed right now. It's okay to take a little time to regroup, decompress and do something you love. #bread #baking #joy #metime #takeabreather

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

The IRS is preparing to give DOGE access to sensitive taxpayer data. The systems contain the private financial data tied to millions of Americans, including their tax returns, Social Security numbers, addresses, banking details and employment information.

Exactly. Why do you think Republicans are complying? We get death threats just for tweeting. What do you think the people with power in Washington are going through? For starters, exile and primary challenger promises from Trump/WH and most likely violent threats from his supporters.

I bought my husband a wine chiller so we can drink refreshing beverages this summer while society crumbles around us 🥹 Arthur is obsessed with the paper that it came wrapped in. Guarding it with several of his 9 lives. Conrad in the corner for good measure 🤣 #catsofbluesky #thisisfine #cats #tabby

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

So, inflation is up in the U.S. I thought inflation was basically supposed to be negative as of 12:01 pm EST on 1/20/25? I thought the Economy was supposed to be paying us by now??

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

I hate to break to Trump but Two-Spirit (trans) people have existed here in North America for thousands of years. They predate the arrival of white people and their “Christianity.” Trans people will be here long after Trump is dead and gone.

Conrad here to remind our US based friends that, in light of a tech billionaire/wannabe super villain compromising our personal data, it's easy to freeze your credit. Call or write each of the bureaus, or visit each website, set up an account, and freeze online. #creditfreeze #cats #orangecat #tabby

Eggs are sparse and a bit expensive in the US at the moment...ehem, so I decided to give Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer a try a couple of days ago. I made a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and you know what? It was really good! A bit denser than with eggs, but really delicious. #cake #noeggs

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Here is Conrad, taking a break on a heating pad from his very busy, stressful life. Make sure to be like Conrad once in a while and take some time for yourself. And remember, your community, no matter who or where, is here for you. #tabby #orangecat #oneorangebraincell #catsofbluesky #conrad

This cat bed was packed up with the Christmas decorations. Conrad wasted no time getting comfy in the new-to-him Santa themed kitty bed. Long winter's nap indeed. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat #oneorangebraincell #conrad

Conrad was uninterested in letting me go back upstairs after lunch. Of course, I had a meeting, so I had to break the unwritten rule and wake a sleeping cat. Also, the robot vacuum, Mrs. Hughes, hasn't quite figured out the tree skirt yet... #Conrad #catsofbluesky #cat #oneorangebraincell #orangecat

Martin "borrowed" this toy from Conrad. Conrad was actively playing with it, but minor details, right? Also, no one had actually touched this toy in months... #cats #catpics #orangecats #oneorangebraincell

Last, but certainly not least, my favorite void, Luna Bear. She went for her regular spa day at the groomer today. She got a perfect behavior report card and looks so pretty! #cats #blackcats

Here is the Grande Dame of our little feline family: Ms. Monty. She's snoozing in my office on her very favorite heating pad/chair combo. She will be 19 years old in February. She is still feisty and has been thriving with kidney disease for 6 years. Every single day we have with her is a blessing.

All three boys. You've been introduced to Conrad, but we also have Martin (little orange) and Arthur (big gray). In this photo, they mistakenly thought it was time for treats (this was a few weeks ago so I can't be certain, but precedent dictates that they probably did end up getting treats).

Conrad again. This time he's in his pineapple. That's a very reasonable place for him to be.

Looking through my camera roll for more nice, not stressful, happy things to share with the world. Here are 3 red peppers and 2 russet potatoes from my garden this year. They were truly a thing of beauty.

This is Conrad. Conrad was 100% not supposed to be on the just cleaned counter sitting in a just washed Dutch oven.
