Spring has sprung in Hella Oakland

It's 66° in the house, but Her Highness is freezing to death, so I indulge her. #Caturday

Don't worry, she's right under my feet and that no one is in danger of igniting right now.

I'm trying to teach myself how to do a graphic novel/comix/manga/whatever. So, I read some web pages that look reasonable and now have an outline for just 8 pages (chapter 1). The outline is 276 lines. Holy shit.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ManMadePerch.
And every day, of course, is a good day to #resist.

Whoa!

"Some Vatican officials were so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics they shelved plans for Pope Leo XIV to visit the US later this year."

Don't blame you one bit, buddy. Not a bit. (PS: All Italian real estate tips enthusiastically welcomed.)

The Pentagon has threatened the Vatican. From the Free Press

" Vatican officials... described it as a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants—and that the Church had better take its side."

#ChacoCanyon in #NewMexico #indigenous #archaeological Please help protect the #UNESCO heritage site. The BLM gave a very short notice on withdrawing protections from mining interests. I've been there. It's a treasure that should be preserved.

I want to add that I just discovered that she also vomited prodigiously all over a brand new sketchbook on the desk, so I think her desk perching privileges are permanently revoked.

I love to sit on the sofa with my laptop, but that gives me a stiff neck, so I put my desk in front of a window and use the lappie at the desk. The cat has decided I need to sit there all the time and just bit my ankle because I'm using the lappie at the kitchen table this morning. #Caturday.

The list of Approved Humans by the US military has just diminished (once again) by 53 million people. So that makes women, Blacks, LGBTQ+, and now Catholics.

It's Passover, which I learned about in Catholic school. I have friends who've invited me to dine with them for over 30 years and will join them tomorrow. As an atheist, I will say it's the one religious service I like because it's about a story, a daring escape, singing "Dayenu" and EATING.

We had a couple of weeks of warm and sunny weather and a certain occupant in the house got used to the 5PM Sunny Sitdown on the front porch. This is the second chilly, overcast and drizzly day and she is Not Having It. I have been on the receiving end of a lot of vocal Displeasure. #Cat.

Show me the #Monet!

#DeYoungMuseum

Bonus is the museum chow was reallly good. When I was a kid, we didn't have money for museum chow, so I am spending my golden years viewing art after eating a big museum chow lunch. (It was really good.)

Almost too late for #Caturday. I put my robe out on a chair on the deck to dry it and an hour later, she was curled up on it. Awww.

This is huge news for #women and I'm very surprised and disappointed that more people not talking about it. For the first time in a history over thousand years, the new Archbishop of Canterbury is a woman.

They've deployed ICE to SFO, which already has their own paid screeners. They dragged a woman and child out of the airport. The ICE deployment to airports has nothing to do with the TSA. They are not filling in for the TSA. They are terrorizing people LEAVING the country.

People are mourning Bob Mueller, but remember he's the guy who reopened an investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails 8 days before the election, which she lost narrowly.
