Most #Caturday postings show happy, content and cute feline pals… but sometimes things don’t go to plan. Here’s our unhappy grey floof Sim in the waiting room of the vet (taken for some annual shots) and a bit of my bloody arm as I was trying to get her into the carrier. #CatsofBluesky #CitrusCats

Last week, Astra got a couple of booster shots at the vet, and after she got home she brought her favorite toy to our bed and curled up to recover. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #CitrusCats #CitrusAstra

Astra, the grey-and-white cat, is curled up on our orange grove-themed duvet cover (with oranges on leafy branches), along with her favorite plushy — a blue franken plushy made from a variety of bits by one of the neighborhood kids.

Was bannering for @westseattleindivisible.com last night on the Fauntleroy overpass (our banner read Fascists Hate Fair Elections), and dancing the devil away to the soundtrack of a playlist of positive 70s/80s R&B, when I got a fantastic compliment (though I don't think it was meant that way)...

Scenes from the Resistance... our Tuesday overpass bannering in West Seattle (banner reads Fascists Hate Fair Elections) with @westseattleindivisible.com and Lady Liberty. (playing around with my old Canon fisheye lens with my Sony A6100.)

Sim say, “You’re working too much.” I should probably listen to her and give her some skritches. #Caturday#CatsofBluesky #CutrusCats #CitrusSim

Sim, the great floof, looks pleadingly at me from my lap for some, any attention.

I'd like to time-travel back to the mid-2010s when Trump was in full birther mode and let people know that this is what will happen if we don't shut this shit down. But would they just think it was just an SNL cold open?

All of Trump's crises are the result of his own choices... and he just doubles down on them and won't come back from the brink.

Some more fave photos from my time at #NoKings yesterday photographing the @westseattleindivisible.com group.

West Seattle Indivisible gathers to start the march with a We Are the People banner in front and lots of colorful signs behind it.

After letting the state of the world get to me of late, I've decided not to let the bastards get me down... and have turned to the joy of sharing new music discoveries. Here's Feb's New Tunes mix with R&B, indie pop, Icelandic reggae, and more. #nowplaying #musicsky www.mixcloud.com/agenschmitz/...

Re-upping this mix of protest (and protest-adjacent) tunes I put together last weekend on @mixcloud.bsky.social. It's got anger, it's got sorrow, and it's got a bit of positivity, something we all need. #nowplaying #musicsky #minneapolis #resisttrump www.mixcloud.com/agenschmitz/...
