I realize that there is a lot going on the world right now, but I’d like to share that today is our cat’s 5th birthday. Happy birthday, Iroh!! 🎉 Joy is resistance, and this guy brings us plenty of joy. ❤️

Even the #moon is dark and moody these days.

The most unbelievable part of this movie is the competent national leadership that listens to scientists. #IndependenceDay

We wanted something to celebrate today, so we decided it is our eldest cat’s birthday. The theme is cheese because it’s her favorite thing. Happy birthday Go-Go! 🧀🎂 (And sorry in advance for the neighbors’ tomfoolery tonight.)

Put out our Valentine’s Day decorations, and for reasons, this year the Little People Cafe is being visited by the Rose family. Moira and Johnny are seated for the Sweetheart Brunch, while David and Alexis wander around in search of pastries and Wi-Fi. ❤️

Your Charlotte kind of favors our Iroh, but without his “nose booger” which is what we call his little brown nose spot.

The world is what it is, but our cat had a birthday today and the theme was bananas and it was joyful as hell.

Don’t forget to go outside and touch trees and talk to the moon or whatever. Breathe deep. Draw strength from nature.

I’ve been test driving all the available trauma responses and I have to say… freeze has always worked incredibly well for me. Although I often pepper in flight for variety. The good ol’ 1-2 punch of “run and hide?” Chef’s kiss. 🤌🏻

We made it to Original Song. Lord, the amount of times I’ve watched this episode. I got to teach Zoe about the “cockblocking piano.” All these years later and I still remember the memes.

@samitch.bsky.social @jacobreyesdfw.bsky.social @mslindsayy.bsky.social Zoe and I are doing a Glee rewatch. Today we landed on “Never Been Kissed.” It has been 15 years, I felt I was ready, I was sure I’d be fine. When I saw the staircase, I was not fine.

I was hoping Conan would put on a slip-on tux a la The Audiencey Awards. But this one is nice, too. #AcademyAwards #ConanOBrien

I am taking a break from Thanksgiving prep and I gotta say - I’m having a wonderful time. I love the holidays. I am letting not even one person steal my joy. Persistence is resistance. Keep on keeping on, my friends! Our cat Iroh co-signs.

Here I started this brand new account, and immediately got busy with Thanksgiving prep and neglected y’all straight out of the gate. I do apologize. Blame the pumpkin pie.
