It finally snowed again, the tail end of a winter storm that mostly hit north of here. #cats #trondheim 🇸🇯

The world is burning but I am now a sworn citizen. 🇸🇯 Tonight over 300 of us living in Trøndelag county, from over 70 countries, stood up and said we are now new Norwegians. #NyNordmann #Statsborgerskap #ÆErNorsk

Lucifer stayed out past curfew last night, and tried to nap all morning. I'm trying to keep her from becoming too nocturnal so we went outside and played for a bit. Looked out a while later to find her chilling in her den about to nap. Cats gonna cat. #caturday #tabby #catnap

Lovely poster for SV (Socialist Left) ahead of Monday's national election in Norway, currently running at 6% in the polls, enough for representation in Parliament. Har du stemte? 🇧🇻 #valg

Some #Caturday gardening with the girls tethered to keep watch. Still too nervous to let the roam free yet but this is encouraging.

It's #Caturday and all is well inside the apartment. Can't say the same for the outside but I find comfort where I can.

Happy Mardi Gras for those who celebrate! Today is extra festive for me because I'm going to the embassy to renounce my US citizenship. It's something I have wanted to do for decades and I'm so happy to finally have a home here so I can do it. I'm still a New Orleanian forever though.🇧🇻🎉

If you write a groundbreaking study of the supervillain, you should be proud if it catches the attention of Lucifer. So proud to have been a part of Nao Tomabechi's journey and to have blurbed this smart, gorgeous new book! #ComicsStudies #Superheroes www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/supervillain...

This week I applied for my first Norwegian 🇳🇴 passport and national identity card. So I baked a coconut cake. As one does. It's good!

feeling vaguely sick of rainy weather. hmm... let's check the data. ah. yes.

12 months of precipitation in a bar graph, showing five of the past six months almost double the "normal" for here.
