Repotted my Swiss Cheese Monstera (that's what I like to call it) with a DIY moss pole. My Thai Con Monstera and Pink Princess Philodendron's newest leaves are really filling out well w/ gorgeous variegation. Can't wait to see how the tiny new leaf on my Alocasia Poly is going to be. 🤞 that it's 🤩

Duchess McFloofy Booty is slowly getting playful with Duke Stubbington. Slowly she is becoming more tolerant of him and seeking him out for play. 🤞 That they become the best of friends. Stubbs 💜's her and literally everyone really. #Rescue #DuchessMcFloofyBooty #Kittens #Play #Patience #Persevere

Meet the newest rescue: Duke Stubbingtons (Stubbs for short). Severely underweight, damaged eye & possible infection, fleas, worms, and bad diarrhea- working on getting these adressed The sweetest and cuddliest personality though 💜 Duchess McFloofy Booty isn't impressed yet, working on that

White Christian Nationalism should be considered terrorists. But ya know: "Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses" I love how people delude themselves into thinking what's happening is a good thing #FakeChristians #Hypocricy #GenicideIsBAD #FreePalestine #WarIsBad #FDJT

Reagan was a terrible president. He helped create this whole thing by starting the trickle-down-economics propaganda bs that helped dupe poor people into letting the wealthy steal more of their earnings and decreasing the political power of citizens by allowing companies to buy political power #Vote

Just trying to eat a sandwich and Duchess McFloofy Booty insists that it's hers Princess MaeMae (R.I.P. - my last cat) used to like inedible things, this cat apparently likes people food. At least it's better for her, even though I can no longer eat in peace 🥪🐱🤣 #Kitten #Cat #DuchessMcFloofyBooty

Plant chores don't stop for the dark. Only time today I had to do them. Did get 4 plants repotted this weekend after getting supplies from The Plant Room. Didn't film the repotting, didn't know if anyone would watch. Maybe next time So proud of all the new leaves #Plants #MentalHealth #MyPlantBabies

It seems Duchess loves watching video games

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Welp, the plants aren't getting much done with them because the special soil I ordered from Etsy still has not even shipped, let alone arrived. I ordered it the same time as a bunch of supplies and completely forgot that I hadn't seen it arrive until the middle of the night. #SadPlants #SadMe #Wait

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Plan on doing a bunch if repotting plants, making moss poles, and just generally being a garden goblin this weekend. Had a crap week & need the zen (i.e. time without people) #Plants #Garden #Goblin #MentalHealth

Just want to stay home and cuddle. I think Duchess McFloofy Booty feels the same Happy dreams little one

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

If nothing else, her round little tummy makes me so happy considering how uncomfortably skinny she was at first. Started at 2.2lbs, last weighed 2.57 a week ago, & would bet she is almost up to normal weight now 💜 Bonus cuddle pic #FloofyBooty #Kitten #Foster2Adopt

Duchess McFloofy Booty's upper resp. Infection got worse while I was gone for almost 2 days for work. She doesn't yet trust others yet, and with me gone, I think she stressed until she got worse. Day has been full of cuddles and treats 🐱💜😭 #SickKitty #Kitten #Foster2Adopt #Cat #DuchessMcFloofyBooty

TW: death Got the worst news: Spicy Potato is doing so much worse. Her entire gut and now stomach is filled with gas and shutting down. Vet believes it's genetic and there is nothing that can help. They will be sending her off to her last nap. I am heartbroken 💔 #kitten #SickKitty #GoodBye #MyHeart

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Some good news: Spicy Potato (AKA Dread Pheonix FluffyBum) is doing a but better. Still in an incubator at the vet's, but she has started eating on her own! They had to start IV antibiotics as her lungs were getting worse, but she is responding to it💜 #Kitten #Foster #Adopt #SickKitty #SpicyPotato

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Sad news. Spicy Potato, aka Dread Pheonix FluffyBum, had to go back to the animal control center to be put in the incubator and lots of tests ran. She was just too sick to stay home & needs lots of care. Send all your good vibes her way, she needs them. Hopefully she will recover & get to live w/ us

Had these two REALLY cool orb weaver spiders near the garden yesterday. So cool & love the variation in color between the two. Haven't looked it up, but I bet one is male and the other female (the more orange one had an egg sac nearby) #Garden #Spiders #PestControl #NatureIsCool

We are fighting so hard for this little one. Between not wanting to eat & battling the 💩s, we've had to syringe feed her meds, food, and some water We are going to do everything we can to fight for her until she will 🤞 fight for herself #Kitten #Cat #Foster #Adopt #SickKitty #Help #Persevere

Ever spend way too much time trying to figure out if you have spider mites just to realize your partner put insect control powder on your plant? Just me? Ok then. 🤣😭🤷‍♀️🪴🌿

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

We are an exhausted spicy potato. Dread Phoenix FluffyBum still has the 💩s, now started showing signs of the same URI that Duchess has, and is mainly refusing to eat. She is struggling so much, but I won't give up- she needs someone to let her know that she is worthy & love is all she should know

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Ever went fishing for cats? I seem to have caught a big one 🤣🐟🐱 Duchess McFloofy Booty is gaining so much confidence and really coming into herself. I'm so happy 💜💜💜 She still isn't quite up to weight to get fixed yet and still fighting a URI (but getting better) #kitten #cat #foster2adopt

Had to get stronger meds for Duchess McFloogy Booty- her URI was just getting worse, poor thing. While there, I mentioned that I was wanting a friend for her as I think she would really benefit & thrive with one. Meet: Dread Pheonix FluffyBum. She is on the mend. #Foster #Adopt #Kitten #SickKitty

Down 79lbs now. Still more to go, but the journey has been easier when I work WITH my brain and body, not fight against them with traditional "fitness" methods. Do what works for you as long as you are not doing anything harmful to achieve it. #FitnessJourney #MentalHealth #Hiking #WeightLoss

Been too tired and overwhelmed to post much lately. Duchess McFloofy Booty is now laying with me to watch TV & sleeping in bed. Unfortunately, she has a bit of an upper respiratory infection & getting meds now for that. #Cuddles #Kitten #Foster #Adopt #ConsentIsKing #FloofyBooty

Stepped out of my comfort zone and helped canvas for the first time. The other participants were very lovely people & had some good convos with a few residents. It's hard for me, but I can't just do nothing & hope for the best. #Vote #RegisterToVote #FarmsNotDataCenters #MissiHeskethForCongress

So, the new kitten won't be here quite yet. They haven't finished processing the applications this week due to an event they are doing this weekend. 🤞 We will hear from them this week & can pick her up next weekend. A little disappointed but still hopeful & excited. #Adopt #Kitten #Patience

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

We are now exploring outside the bathroom! I'm going to list out how fast she has progressed in a comment. Tomorrow I should be picking up a friend for her. Stay tuned for pics of the new one! #MyHeart #Kitten #Cat #Foster #Adopt #ConsentIsKing #AtHerPace #FluffyBaby

I did not expect this to happen today. This kitten is just astounding at her resilience and capacity for love. She is like 90 pounds (41 kilos) of love in a 2 pound (0.9 kilo) body. She is SHOVING her head and booty into my hand for lovin's 💜 #Progress #MyHeart #Kitten #Cat #Foster #Adopt #Persevere

Duchess McFloofy Booty is making SO much progress. She is still going back to her hidey-hole every so often, but she's out & exploring while I'm right here! She got scared at the end by my husband opening the fridge. Baby steps #Kitten #Foster #Adopt #Cats #FloofyBaby #Progress #ConsentIsKing

This is the new kitten- I still dont have a pic of her since I got her as she is still too shy. This is her "jail" photo. Isn't she the cutest? I'm so excited for her to join us (on her terms). Also, she needs a name. I'm thinking Duchess. Any ideas? #ConsentIsKing #Kitten #Foster #Adopt #Cat

Sitting in our bathroom reading to the foster-to adopt kitten. Trying to get her used to me slowly (she's behind a curtain & has another hide inside). Apparently, this is an offense to Rosie, the @$$hole #Adopt #Cats #Kitten #Read

Fostering a new kitten to adopt. She is so terrified she has completely shut down. Pics coming soon since she is currently hiding and I don't want to traumatize her by forcing her to interact for pics. 🤞 that I do this right and get her some confidence #FosterToAdopt #Kitten #HealingTogether

Went hiking again another couple of days. Unfortunately, I think I over did it yesterday & now have back/hip pain when walking. That's one of the issues with ADHD, lowered interoception can lead to ignoring symptoms until it's too late Pics taken below #ADHD #Hiking #FitnessJourney #MentalHealth

Got this great book today. Thanks boss for the gift card! Now I can start identifying all those mushrooms I've been taking pics of while hiking and hopefully learn to forage. Biology is so fun & much never stop learning new things. Book is Simon & Shuster's Guide to Mushrooms #Mushroom #Book #Hike

Finally got in some decent trail time this morning before it got TOO hot. I've missed it so much and felt awesome afterwards. Still just a beginner, but having fun on the journey. Really didnt like all the horses being ridden on the trail which ruins it. #Hiking #FitnessJourney #MentalHealth

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I've been told that I should change my neurodivergent behavior to be more neurotypical by working at it really hard & practicing more. No, I wont be doing that. I refuse to continue to shrink myself, repeat shame cycles and cause mental spirals to 'fit in' or make others comfortable #ThisIsMe #ADHD

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

When someone is deeply soul weary, don't tell that person to just look at all the good things they have going on. That would be like going up to a person, breaking their leg, & saying "Why are you complaining about your leg? The rest of you is fine."

Weather forecast for this Saturday looks to be tolerable temperatures to go hiking again. 🤞 Hope it stays that way. The hiking has helped my fitness/ weight loss/ mental health journey, but the heat lately has been so unbearable and unsafe for me 😭 #CleanEnergy #FuckOil #ClimateChangeIsHere

Improvised "pasta" salad that turned out really well. Used chickpeas instead of pasta & veggies from our garden (bell peppers, cucumbers, banana peppers, purple basil). Have notes for improvement, but turned out well.

Finished this today- super cheap purchase from an overstock/returns store. Had fun, made some messes, got out of my head for a bit

I am slowly getting better. Each day, coming home is the hardest because I know she won't be there waiting to greet me. This is my favorite pic as this was on my birthday. Such loves 💜💜 Thinking about getting a memorial tattoo for Princess MaeMae. Anyone have some good ideas?

000

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Further update: MaeMae passed in my arms this morning at approximately 9:58am. I am not ok.

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

My husband is so amazing. He couldn't stand to see me sobbing over MaeMae anymore. So, he worked out a deal with a local vet to get her surgery done on a payment plan (and drastically reduced price). She made it through and is resting off the sedation now. I am so thankful and so blessed 💜💜💜🐱💜💜💜

000

lightlyspicy.bsky.social @lightlyspicy.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

The snuggling is no longer cute, it's now for saying goodbye. MaeMae has given herself another bowel obstruction. We absolutely cannot afford another $1k + Vet bill for the surgery again. I am devastated, absolutely cannot handle this on top of everything else. My poor sweet MaeMae 🐱💜😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
