Went to #bellydance rehearsal and workshop. Forgot to bring my sword so I danced w a stick - which is a lot lighter and faster than a sword, so I lost balance, it began to fall, I grabbed for it, hit myself in the face w it and split the inside of my upper lip. Lesson: must not forget my sword.

This #Caturday I am excited to share that we were gifted a crochet cat bed! And it is going *great*

Goodnight CoSo! Even as I go to sleep, I have #Politics on the brain, and the question of what rabid anti-intellectualism and anti- expertise will lead this country into. And apparently I am not the only one wondering

Goodnight CoSo! I am not getting all notifications when they happen, I can't figure out what the issue is, but whatevs. Here is a face that makes my heart happy, to share good vibes.

To practice what I preach about assertive self-care, I wrapped my nails.

It is #Caturday and we have to hold on to anything that seems normal, so this is an important holiday. Here is #Milo who is squinting because he was probably hit in the face. He saw the doctor yesterday and got tested for FLV and FIV and he is negative for both, got his FLV vaccine and weighed in at 8.6 pounds. Doc says he is indeed large for his age at under nine months.

Goodnight CoSo! I leave you w a screenshot of something I saw on the book of faces

Alright loves, I will say goodnight. But first, I will share that I taught my online government class at an HBCU tonight and we vented, and commiserated, and I gave them a pep talk, and it was glorious. Then I had nachos and an old fashioned. I will not fucking roll over. #ViveLaResistance

Folks, I gave an exam on the industrial revolution/ age of industrialization in the US and the first one I wanted to grade had this which I felt compelled to excerpt. There never was any hope.

#ElectionDay post
Here is what I saw on the drive home from work today and a quote I have been thinking of a lot.
"The prayers of both could not be answered ~ that of neither has been answered fully." Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address.

I am off to school in a few on this all-important day and #Gandalf is sending this energy with me and to all of us. He will be 16 next month and he was already seven when we rescued him. He is a constant unconditional source of love. He has enough for all of us.

I am dealing w the second eye bleed since a student shot me in the eye w a rubber band. I think it is just sub-conjunctival bruising but I will be seeing one of my specialists because my background is poli sci, not ophthalmology. Also, strong feelings of WTF rn. Because this is my good eye, the one that actually works. That is the one that got hit. #TeacherRant

In the name of holding on to any shred of normalcy, here are #Gandalf and #Bridget for #Caturday

A new fighter has entered the chat about dragging my mental health back from the abyss: #Elsa who is using tiny mighty elderly paws and a soft purr and all the skills of the retired therapy animal she is. #CatsOfCoSo

I am sad and upset this #Caturday for life reasons but I have #Gandalf (right) and #Balazs (left) in my lap and that is good regardless of circumstances. #CatsOfCoSo

Performance at a dance recital tomorrow, hard week in the rearview, and I am about to have dinner with my love. Ergo:

When I got to the living room this morning to briefly sit and drink my #coffee, #Balazs was already sitting on the arm of my chair, as if he had been waiting for me 💖
