I’m not capable of #1 these days, so here’s my submission for #2.
Three cats are cuddled up next to each other asleep on a yellow and white ottoman. They are, from left to right, a brown/grey tabby, an orange menace, and an exceptionally large calico. None are contributing members of society.

Me and Granny Sadie at Blacksmith Coffee in #Lindsborg #Kansas If you haven’t visited #LittleSweden you need to. Be sure to get your coffee and eats at Blacksmith and say hi to Granny!

My trio of feline friends!
Three cats—a gray tabby, brown, white and orange calico, and a ginger are all cuddled together on a gray couch. The ginger cat is staring directly at you, questioning your very existence, wondering why your voyeurism is invading her privacy. She blames her human, as always.

Penelope is unsure that you really mean this, so she insisted I double check. Lucy came along to verify your response.
A very large calico cat with a not so large head is sprawled on the floor looking up at you, an uncertain expression on her adorable face. She is either suspicious or hungry. Hungry. She’s definitely hungry. A smaller orange cat is lying to her left. She appears to be unclear about what is happening. Which is true most of the time for her.

Absolutely! This one is so queenly I have to wash her butt for her!

It’s the Nazi playbook here. There’s more evidence: speeches accusing the Jewish people of crimes; declaring Germany should be for Germans, not outsiders. It is clear Trump is planning his own migrant holocaust if he wins and the only thing that will save you is being both white AND a Trump devotee.

Had the pleasure of watching #Husker football beat up on Colorado at the game in Lincoln. Then I went home and ordered this shirt from #Raygun.

You should know their names. And faces, where possible. So I grabbed this screenshot. Again, this is the work of historian Donna Rae Pearson and her team. #history #womenshistory #blackhistory #blackwomenshistory

I have the best friends. I was supposed to go on a quilt retreat this weekend, but couldn’t because I’ve been sick. So they made a Flat Tonia and are sending me pictures so I’m there with them in spirit.

This has been a very hard week. On Tuesday my sweet Pippi went over the rainbow bridge to join her sister Patches. My heart is broken at the loss of these loves who have filled my heart and home the last 13 years. Penelope and I are both feeling a little lost. #cats

In 1966 my grandmother gave this gray to her oldest daughter when she left for college. In 1995 her daughter, my mother, gave it to me as I left for college. I love looking at this every morning.

I should note, she got herself wrapped up into this blanket. It’s her favorite blanket and she often snuggles under it and occasionally licks it.
