i’ve been mostly focused on the very small community I’m building around my substack dispatches and less on social media, even the very fine coso! missed but not forgotten! right now for me it’s day 2 without power, the water came back on this morning.

Life on twitter: post hot pic, gain 100.
Post pro-abortion rights for women or any progressive political news or views, lose 100.

Life on CoSo: a new approach--don't pay any attention at all to follows, if they're up or down 😜

its frosty and icy out but taking my cousin and her daughter to see Wicked in London. happy Sunday everyone!

I'm trying to be more present here on CoSo but it's hard coz now that I have a Substack it takes a lot more effort and writing. I think ultimately will be a preferred way to connect with people. Here is my 4th post, please take a few minutes to read! 💙 #writing #substack #kvwrites https://katval.substack.com/p/etudes-in-writing

Still in shock and grieving uncontrollably. Our Tux was so precious. I wish the pain would dull some and I could just miss him and remember him

Tux didn't make it and was eased out of his injuries and difficulties last night, before I could go back home. His bestie friends (and mine) Melessa and Amy held him. I'm shattered and heartbroken.

please send healing energy to Tux, attacked by a coyote last night and fighting for his life. I'm flying home from overseas extended stay to encourage him to be strong.

I'm off to Mallorca Spain to visit and hang out with my bestie and fave drummer Clem Burke. Feeling very lucky to have this respite from home.

Had a great time in London this weekend sitting in with the Split Squad at the 100 Club! BOTH nights! not pictured, drummer Clem Burke my fave 💙 🥁 🎸

oops ok I'll play #floodthefirehose ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ this is Tux Valentine, Rocky Valentine and Gingerman Valentine

Bye Cornwall! off to Devon. Here's me sat upon a Bronze Age burial mound near the Cape. Don't forget self care and good energy on this election day. xokv

2 good things about Twitter turning into a shithole: I started posting here, and I started a #Substack finally. Please consider subscribing, commenting, sharing etc etc! It's going to be pretty I cool I think/hope. Here's the first post: https://open.substack.com/pub/katval/p/starting-somewhere
