Bonjour à nouveau, and welcome to another edition of my explorations into French pop with a bit of a neo-80s vibe balanced out by au current chanson Française, funky hip-hop, Afro beat, and bouncy indie pop. #newmusic #musicsky #nowlistening www.mixcloud.com/agenschmitz/...

I dialed up the new Trashcan Sinatras album today and then almost immediately got word of John Douglas's death on Facebook. So sad to hear and my heart goes out to his family and bandmates. #musicsky pitchfork.com/story/trashc...

Summer's here, and the time is right for dancing wherever you find yourself. Closing out July with a blast of uptempo euro grooves, smooth funk, and a couple of 80s throwbacks. #newmusic #musicsky #seattlestrong www.mixcloud.com/agenschmitz/...

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.

Shouted from a ramshackle pickup truck: "You dance like a f*****g f****t!!" Thanks! Some of my sweatiest, most glorious dance nights have been spent in gay dance clubs!

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.)

Playing around with my new-to-me Sony A6100 DSLR and using the cats as my subjects. Here's a wunnerful snap of Astra looking regal in our bedroom. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #BlueskyCats #CitrusCats #CitrusAstra

Astra, the grey-and-white cat, is looking regal on the green-and-orange garden-themed duvet in the bedroom. In the background, various pillows and framed pictures on a green wall.

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.
