Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Medusa, who has been groomed, fed, medicated, and had her nails clipped, would thank you but she is napping. 271
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I am “sunscreen collecting in my neck creases and also I wanna read that Nora Ephron book that I used to think had such a dumb title” years old 020
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Omg I got a wow from @janeespenson.bsky.social! Grad school me, who hosted the weekly Buffy-viewing dinner events while my son (who would dress as Drusilla for Halloween a few years later) was a baby, would have been so chuffed to know this would happen ☺️ 150
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Of course Warren comes out “looking worst”. Men being misogynists is baked in. (I was super disappointed by Warren endorsing him. Screenshot instead of repost bc why shitstir. And I’m not a Maine voter. But also: come the fuck on) 030
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I … am torn on realizing that apparently the NYT has put some kind of cookie (or whatever, I’m not a tech nerd) on my phone so that it is showing me the score of the current game as I do other things. If I click on it it goes to The Athletic. Creepy yes but also kinda cool :-/ 020
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I moved an entire 1br apartment in a Toyota Prius. Over the Rockies. 2110
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Omg Watch Duty now has flood info as well. Best freaking app 010
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 20/05/2026This poppy from about a month ago is now a shock bigger than my head with half a dozen or more blooms. 081
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Miss 3 AM Feeding has a new robot overlord. May she shift her attentions so that I am able to get a full night’s sleep soon 🙏🏼 280
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Nice morning doing outreach at the local mercado, complete with strolling mariachis ❤️ and then there was this visitor to my garden. Feliz Día de las Madres especialmente á las madres immigrantes y las madres que se quedan atrás, qui sacrifican tanto por el bien de sus hijos y sus familias. 030
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 04/05/2026This is the smug face of a cat who in her old age has begun waking me up anywhere from 3:30-5:30 am. She is very insistent and it honestly isn’t funny any more, it’s awful. But I love her anyway. 040
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Omg he is so miserable. Current state of living room, I can’t blame him: 100
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 05/04/2026I will never not be thrilled to my core to see women proudly, publicly, and unapologetically celebrating their achievements. 1210
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Demo done on 1/10 is now accessible again after multiple rounds of lead and asbestos abatement. Fun discoveries: original back (side) entrance! Drain vent pipe not actually connected! Dead knob and tube just hanging out! Having the space open again, even unusable, really helps with air flow. 270
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 30/03/2026“If you’re gonna move my bedside water glass to the floor as if I’m an ANIMAL then yes I’m gonna have to swipe the speaker and your stupid glasses off the nightstand to get your attention at sunrise, sorrynotsorry.” 071
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 29/03/2026The face of a cat who failed to wake me for pre-dawn breakfast even by knocking over the water glass—HER water glass—on the bedside table into the drawer of the nightstand. 4204
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Memorial by a volunteer at @805undocufund.bsky.social , displayed at Ventura Gov Center No Kings rally today. 031
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 28/03/2026SOMEONE has decided for the last couple days that breakfast must be served at 4:30, when my desire to sleep means I cave to her demands so she’ll leave me alone. This means that she thinks dinner should be served at like 3. BUT I AM AWAKE NOW. 150
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Not a real photographer, don’t know my way around a proper camera, but I’m thrilled that phone cameras have gotten to the point where I can catch a hawk’s glare from a good 30+ feet below her 0110
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Abatement company gave up on kitchen floors bc of 50+ year old goo, now infused with lead dust, that had glued asbestos tiles to the original floor. Said we should rip it up. Husband spent the week in full tyvek suit and respirator in 90° heat steaming goo in an unventilated space. We don’t have ac. 180
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Medusa says, if you are going to disturb my cuddling for the selfish purpose of getting a second cup of coffee, I am going to steal your seat. Fair’s fair. 050
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Medusa says every goddam day is caturday and don’t you forget it. 5797
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 07/03/2026The water in the glass was refreshed an hour ago. And it’s easier for her to get to. But no. She needs to drink the water that’s like an inch deep in the glass she’s going to knock over. 1101
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 12/02/2026This kitty is very dear. And also her neediness is hard to take when I am struggling to breathe. 080
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I finally couldn’t take living in the lead (and maybe asbestos!) situation, without a kitchen (literally stripped to the studs and off limits) any more. We are in a motel with an insane bathtub for a few days while we wait for test results, then 🤷 030
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I hate making calls. I always feel incoherent and “stupid”. But truly incoherent stupid *and cruel* people do not hate yelling at elected reps. Embrace your averageness and make the damn calls. 1125
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 10/01/2026We are semi DIY-ing a kitchen gut job (which involves lead paint and lathe and plaster bc 100yo house. We are insane). Current state of things: 060
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Take a breath. Get up and get or refill a glass of water. 0254
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 03/01/2026This is true. We lost a cat to coyotes last August (really they can prey year round). At the very least, keep them in from before dusk to after dawn. And make sure they wear bird collars. Also not gonna get into indoor/outdoor argument, I’ll just mute or block if I need to. 030
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 25/12/2025We keep alive my husband’s family tradition of yes those are real candles on the Xmas tree. 191
Tedra Osell @tedos.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Merry Christmas From a Cat Who Has Been Thwarted In Her Desire to Drink the Preservative-Containing Tree Water Which is Probably Bad for Her Kidneys. 1142
