Photo of a protest sign which reads “Welcome to Alberta! Where the odour of UCP Corruption is Strong! And Nothing is Free!" A play on the unnecessary expense our provincial govt paid to put new provincial border signs with the motto “Strong and Free” added.

Sort of a #ThrowBackThursday photo from last #Caturday. Rowan and D’Artagnan were roughhousing and my wife made a noise up stairs in the kitchen capturing their attention. #Cats #Cat #CatsOfBluesky #FeralToFriendly

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat and D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. Rowan is lying flat on her right side on the ground floor carpet. She is looking up and towards the stairway leading to our first floor. D’Artagnan is sitting upright with his tail laying out behind him with a curl at the tip. He’s also looking at the stairway and up towards the first floor. My wife had banged some pots while making our breakfast and had disturbed their roughhousing

Photo of a poster. It has a red coloured background with black lettering the reads “Honour Our Treaties We Live on Native Land. The poster was made to highlight the fact the Separatists are totally ignoring Indigenous rights in their effort to separate Alberta from Canada.

Huge shout out to Corb Lund and all those who signed. Love how he used these containers over cardboard boxes and brought them to EA in a horse trailer. We may have to start using pitch forks instead and signs protesting this government.

On #ThrowbackThursday it was Rowan’s turn to chair the January breakfast meeting and presented a motion that kitties should be fed at the table. The motion was carried, but vetoed by the organizer. 😀 #Cats #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky

A photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. This was from January 2026. Rowan is laying on her right side with her head upright and looking into the camera. My wife had gone to make our breakfast and left her chair pulled out. This was an invitation for Rowan to claim it and possibly scam some breakfast at the same time.

Saturday June 6th, if you’re near, join us at the corner of 13th Avenue and Trans Canada Way, in Medicine Hat, between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. No rain, maybe a bit windy. #NoToSeparation #PublicNotPrivate #WaterNotCoal #TreatyRights #LGBTQIA2S+RIghts #CorruptCare #GoodTrouble #DontBeSilent

Photo of a rally sign I made up. It references the new Alberta border signs the province is wasting money on so they can add the slogan “Strong and Free” to them, instead of the “Wild Rose Country” slogan that now exists. It reads “Welcome to Alberta! Where the Odour of UCP Corruption is Strong! And Nothing is Free”. The letters for the words Alberta and UCP are coloured blue. The letters in “Odour” are coloured brown with green squiggly lines above the letters in the word “odour", coloured green, to shows smell emanating. This is in reference to the Corruptcare scandal and the UCP giving the Separatists a free ride to a referendum. The letters for the words “Corruption, Strong, Nothing and Free” are coloured red to highlight them for the reasons mentioned previously in reference to the new border signs.

The Wayback Machine was broken this #ThrowbackThursday and Rowan got impatient waiting for breakfast. D”Artagnan, however, was playing it cool. #Cats #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky

A close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat and of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. I took this zoomed in photo while I was preparing breakfast for the two cats. Rowan is rushing towards me across the wooden floor because she wants more food now. D’Artagnan is crouched down on the floor as Rowan passes him. He doesn’t seem to be in any hurry, so is waiting patiently.

D”Artagnan doing double duty on #TechCatTuesday. After doing a security scan on my desktop, he’s auditing my power bar to ensure I’m not overloading the circuit. #Cat #CatsWithJobs #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s crouched under the computer desk between a plastic weave pattern bin and a surge protected power bar, that I have my computer equipment plugged into. He appears to be looking it over to ensure I haven’t plugged too many devices in.

I know it’s #TongueOutTuesday, but at 34C (93F)🥵outside D’Artagnan and Rowan just want a nap. Just think a few weeks ago it was snowing. #FeralToFriendly #Cats #Cat #SummerHeat

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. and Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. Their curled up together in the middle bed of the ground floor cat tree. D’Artagnan is in donut pose with his head resting on the carpeted bed railing. Rowan is cuddled up behind him with one of her front legs hanging over the railing behind D’Artagnan’s neck. Rowans head is supported by the railing and her eyes are partially closed. The window vertical curtains are closed to keep the sunlight and heat out of the house. The outside temperature is thirty four degrees celsius, or ninety three degrees Fahrenheit, too warm for them, but the central air is on keeping them cool enough to have a snooze.

Fellow Albertans when voting in the same, divisive and unnecessary referendums, in October please remember this.

Needs a few modifications. An Alberta Provincial flag shirt instead of the Union Jack, a Canadian flag shirt instead of the European Union flag shirt and it'd fit right in. Take note UCP! #ABleg #ABpoli #CDNpoli

I have a few of these shots of D’Artagnan. This #ThrowBackThursday picture is from 2015. He can’t bury his head in the sand, but he finds a way to get away. 😄 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats #Cat #FeralToFriendly

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s lying upright in the top bed of the ground floor cat tree. He may be in cat loaf form but because the carpeted bed rail is hiding his chest, I can’t say for sure. He’s asleep and has covered his eyes by putting his head down snuggled up against the inside of the bed rail, effectively cutting out any light getting to his eyes.

Come out Saturday May 16, to the corner of 13th Avenue and Trans Canada Way, in Medicine Hat, between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. The #Indigenous people won a major victory over the Separatists and the UCP. Let’s show our appreciation! #TreatyRights #LGBTQIA2S+RIghts #GoodTrouble #DontBeSilent

Photo of a rally sign reading “Smith Deliberately Ignoring the ForeverCanadian four hundred four thousand two hundred ninety three Signatures”. Referring to the total verified signatures on the petition “Do you agree that Alberta should remain within Canada?” The petition has been hamstrung by the UCP to allow the Separatist question to go forward first. Said question “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada?” has been ruled unconstitutional.

Rowan is having a #TerribleTuesday. She’s treated so poorly by her humans. It’s been ten seconds since anyone petted her, or gave her treats.😿 #Cats #Cat #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky

A close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying flat on her left side on the carpeted ground floor living area. Behind her the black tip of her tail is pointing up. Her legs are limp on the carpet. I’m holding my phone in front of her at carpet level as I take the photo. Rowan’s eyes appear to look pleadingly into the lens. She looks forlorn as if she doesn’t get the attention she feels she deserves. in the background is a dark brown humidifier and a lighter brown glass fronted Barristers Bookcase, my wife uses for her music box collection and our back door.

Photo along thirteenth avenue in Medicine Hat today. My self and thirty three people including @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social gathered to support Alberta remaining part of Canada and call out the UCP. People were waving flags and holding various signs.

Another sure sign of spring. The Red-winged Black Birds are back at the feeder area.🐦‍⬛ #Nature #BirdsOfSpring #Red-wingedBlackBird

Zoomed in photo of a Red-winged Blackbird male standing on the grey paving stone boarder around our front flower bed. His red flash on his wings is mostly covered, but a bit of it is visible along with the white slash. He’s probably checking if any of the birds at the feeders will throw some seeds down to him. The feeders are not visible in this picture

How could I not post this #ThrowbackThursday photo again. Rowan was a sweetheart in 2013. She still is, but perhaps more judgy. 😄 #Cats #Cat #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky

A close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat from her kitten year of 2013. She’s sitting upright on our daughter’s lap. Something has caught Rowan’s attention and she is focused on it, not looking into the lens, but beyond. As a kitten her ear furnishings were outgrowing her ears almost as long as her whiskers, which are also very pronounced in this photo.

D’Artagnan rarely sits on my lap, but when he does he expects the requisite petting be provided. I neglected my duty and he’s showing his #TickedOffTuesday look.😾 #Cats #Cat #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky #JudgementalCats

A close up photo D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s lying upright on my lap as I recline on the couch to watch a TV programme. I have mentioned before that he rarely sits on my lap. He considers my wife his companion. Occasionally like today, he’ll get on my lap but won’t stay unless I pet him almost continuously. In this photo I had stopped to answer a text on my phone. As I did he turned his head towards me. Gave his right ear a tweak while giving me a squinty eyed sideways look, indicating he expects more pets.

“I’m going to stare at you, until you open the fridge and give me those treats, you put in there.” #Cats #Cat #Rescue #CatsOfBluesky #FeralToFriendly #Caturday

A photo from above of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s sitting upright on the kitchen area wood floor. Her body facing the fridge with her tail straight out behind her. She has turned her head back towards me and is staring up into the camera lens. I had just put some wet treats into the fridge to feed the cats later, but Rowan spotted me and is letting me know she would like the treats now!

In this #ThrowbackThursday black and white photo from 2015. Rowan is plotting revenge on an unsuspecting D’Artagnan. 😼 #Cats #Cat #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky

A black and white photo from April 2015. D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat is curled up in donut form in a brown(looks black in this photo) and white basket bed. He barely fits into it. Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat is lying on the tree platform above and slightly to the left of D’Artagnan. She is on her side with her head upright and looking down on D’Artagnan. He doesn’t see her. The impression I’m getting from how she seems laser focused on him, is she’s thinking of pouncing on him.

Feeling like you’ve been sucked into a #VortexOfStupid? Join the rally at Justin Wright’s office, Saturday May 2nd, 13th Ave. & Trans Canada Way Medicine Hat, from 11am to 12pm. It’ll do you good! #PublicNotPrivate #WaterNotCoal #TreatyRights #LGBTQIA2S+RIghts #GoodTrouble #DontBeSilent #ABpoli

Photo of a rally poster that reads: Listen Up UCP! No APP! No ASPS No to Separation! No Private Healthcare! No means No!. The sign also includes emojis of a Canadian flag over the words No APP; a left and right Ear to highlight the UCP should start listening with both ears; a police car emoji over the words No ASPS, referring to the UCPs idea of replacing the RCMP with an Alberta Sheriffs Police Service. The poster has a white background with large black lettering, except the words “NO”, which is in red lettering. UCP is done in blue lettering indicating the Conservative party colour. APP represents the Alberta Pension Plan which the UCP wants to replace our Canada Pension Plan with. It would be underfunded and poorly run. The existing Canada Pension Plan is on of the best managed pension plans in the world.
