Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 02/10/2026For about a year we had an old alarm clock radio in the women’s bathroom playing music. About a month or 2 ago it was stolen and a note put up asking for it to be returned. Yesterday we walk in to see this posted on the bathroom wall. We can’t stop laughing about it. 😂 110
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 26/09/2026This is my soul kitty. I love her so much! Mom says starting at 4:30 she waits in the front window for me to get home. When home, she follows me around everywhere. It’s like she knows what I’m feeling and what to do to help. She’s completely spoiled, but she deserves it. 011
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 18/09/2026My little Eeveelution corner on one of my work shelves. Mainly Leafeon and Espeon since they are my favorites, an Eevee my boyfriend bought me and 2 Umbreons (second is behind the Eevee and hard to see). 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My boyfriend keeps teasing me about streaming because of my work setup. I’m sure the government would love that. 110
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Happy birthday to my wonderful boyfriend, @dantares.bsky.social! This man is such an amazing person and I’m so lucky to have him in my life as a friend and a partner. Happy birthday! 🎁🎈🎂 I love you!💕 110
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I was releasing some butterflies and this girl decided to pull off a truly impressive leap, bat it out of the air, and pin it to the deck. I grabbed her so fast. Thankfully the butterfly was unharmed and flew off immediately after. She is so proud of herself. 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 16/07/2026This man - @dantares.bsky.social - is an amazing guy. I don’t have to walk on eggshells or apologize constantly to keep the peace. We actually have good communication and I can say that he knows me better than anyone other than myself because he took the time to learn. I am so lucky to be with him.💜 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 13/07/2026RIP Sam Neill. Jurassic Park was always (and still is) one of my favorite movies and Alan Grant was my favorite character. Sad to hear of his passing. 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Oh, USA lost? That’s ok. I’ve been rooting for Norway the whole time. Lol. 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 05/07/2026The best of our fireworks (and yes, lightning in the background). 110
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Running to the store, stepped out of the car and realized I forgot to change out of my cat slippers. 😭😅 Welp. Time to rock them! Lol 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Happy 4th of July to those that celebrate! Stay cool and be safe! 🎇🦅🇺🇸🎆 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Happy Cat World Domination Day! 🐱 Here is my cat “dominating.” Lol 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Congrats to Poikos on their win! I was rooting for them when watching to race and it was horrible when they had to stop after they got to boss to just over 4% due to time. It was a joy to watch them go through the fight and solve the mechanics. Glad they were able to get their win. 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Congrats to DN on the Dancing Mad (Ultimate) world first stream clear! Awesome run! 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 31/05/2026So I saw an American Kestrel yesterday and I’m still excited about it. I know they live around here, but I had never seen one. Landed in the neighbor’s tree for a couple minutes before some birds chased it off. (Not my photo.) 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I’m free! It only took 10 days to complete all of them (and my fishing rod). Many thanks to the other fishers who started parties or joined the ones I made! 💜 110
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 22/05/2026This is the most ‘Murica! drink I’ve seen so far. As my boyfriend would say: “An eagle screeches, fireworks go off, and the American anthem starts playing when you open it. It tastes like freedom!” (There’s actually a pic on the side that says ‘Liberty Lemonade.’) It is really good though. 🤣 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Oh yay…. Tornado Warning… while I’m at work. Sirens just went off. 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 19/05/2026My promotion has officially gone through! My position is now labeled as a senior position and has bumped me up 2 pay grades (with the full amount allowed per grade due to my qualifications). Won’t see it on my paycheck until the middle of June due to how our pay schedule works, which kinda sucks. 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 17/05/2026YESSSS!!! Got the Paleo fishing achievement I really wanted and completed my fishing rod… all in a span of about 36 hours. 😅 Hyper fixations are real. 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Stopped by the Eorzean Aquarium today and was admiring the Purse of Riches. Bowed to someone in the house. My boyfriend was like “do you realize who that was?” It was @fisherfruity.bsky.social. I follow him on YouTube and use all his guides. I bowed and ran off because I’m too shy. 🥲😅 120
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Tree swallows just started making this year’s nest. They’re so pretty with iridescent blue feathers. (Pics of the male in a box are from when he hurt his wing. I was getting him out of sight of the cats. Pretty sure he recovered. He had a rough time flying for a bit, but gradually got better.) 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Today is my kitty, Lily’s, birthday. She is 14 years old. She is my soul kitty and still the best present I have ever received. I love her so much! 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 07/04/2026So this was my bracket before the championship. I was so proud of it. UConn’s loss dropped me to 642k and 97.7%. 😭 Guess it’s not that bad considering it’s out of 26.6 million, and I still won my group. 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Well, it was a good run. There’s always next year. Congrats to Michigan with the win. They played amazing this year. 110
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Submitted a bracket before the season started. Playing with a bunch of my coworkers. Hope it still holds up come Saturday! 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Both UConn men’s and women’s teams in the Final Four! LET’S GO HUSKIES! 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 20/03/2026RIP Chuck Norris. As someone else said - Chuck Norris didn’t die. He just got tired of being on Earth. 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Have a happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀🍻 Be safe if you’re going out tonight! Just finished our traditional St. Patrick’s Day dinner of corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. Lily very much enjoyed the corned beef. 010

Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 09/03/2026My boyfriend finished playing through the last part of Resident Evil requiem yesterday/early this morning. The story was phenomenal! Absolutely loved it (even though I wasn’t the one playing it)! 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Welp. Today is going to be interesting. “We have been aware of a threat that was made on both [my building] and [other building] Thursday evening. Details are limited at this time; however, law enforcement is on site inspecting the buildings and surrounding areas for any suspicious activity…” 100
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️💌 Especially to my husband, @dantares.bsky.social, who is the most amazing guy, my love, and my soul mate. I love you! 💜 110
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Presenting and moderating panels with my coworkers in a state conference this week. What did we do in our free time? Created caricatures for ourselves. 🤣 Loaded a pic of my kitty, Lily, to include her in the second one. 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Uuuugggghhh. I can’t wait for Spring. 😭 Most likely will be working from home all next week. 000
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 15/01/2026My boyfriend captioned this picture perfectly. He said - “Poor Amber, her 2 brain cells are fighting hard for 3rd place.” 🤣 She was cold and the heat blows out from the vent there. I think she fell asleep like that because she spooked when I reached down to pet her. 010
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Was joking and laughing with my boyfriend last night. Lily wasn’t having any of it. I think this is the most annoyed look she’s ever given me. 🤣 110
Alira 🌸Mother of Monarchs🌸 @aliraalexandra.bsky.social · 01/01/2026🎇Have a safe and happy New Year! 🍾🥂🎆 020
