Just having a nice, quiet day at home.
...and occasionally checking the news to see if the Orange Dictator has invoked the Insurrection act on a state for protesting government sponsored domestic terrorism.
You know, just your average Sunday in America.

Woke up to sunshine, the sound of my wife playing a retro video game in the next room with some an awesome 8-bit soundtrack, and with a warm kitty snuggled against my shoulder.
I can't think of a better way to wake up on a Sunday morning.

Scully learned that if he steps on the keyboard, I will definitely pay attention to him. So now he sits on my desk when I'm writing and if he feels there are not enough pets happening, he just reaches over with one paw and pushes down on the keys. #Caturday

So much is going wrong in the world. I will rise to the occasion and do what I'm capable of whenever I can. But today, I need a break to refill my soul gauge.
Please remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. You can't be ready when the need arises if you're running on fumes. Be kind to yourself.

Hey #BookSky, what's a book quote that's helping you through these strange and, frankly, shitty times?
I'll go first:
"Be true. Be brave. Stand." - 'IT' by Stephen King

The urban robot vacuum captured sunbathing on a small wall. We do not yet understand the meaning of this ritual. Is it to recharge its body, to continue its journey, or does it merely seek the contentment of a beautiful early winter day in the desert?

This strange insomnia driven by pain and stuffy sinuses is annoying as crap, but at least it's good for my Goodreads Reading Challenge*.
*This is not a paid endorsement**.
**This is very much a joke.

Finished '1984' shortly before dinner.
I could say many profound things that would be true, but I think I just need to go watch some cute cat videos right now. That might have been the bleakest ending I've ever read.

While I'm grumbly from this 2am pain spike, I'll share another complaint: You can't cure Autism. Stop trying.
Give Autistic people support that matches their needs and teach Autistic kids coping strategies.
How about trying that instead?

It's amazing how many people who worry about women's sports when it gives them an outlet for their bigotry have never supported, donated to, volunteered with, or even watched an entire game of a women's team in any type of sport.
Just an observation.

As someone who once successfully killed a cactus in less than four months which had thrived during the eight months it lived abandoned on our former neighbor's balcony, I'm feeling a bit called out by Duo right about now.

Taking a moment to sit by the window, enjoying the sun and breeze.
Plugging into these little moments of calm and contentment fuels my spirit battery.
....which I need to go back to work on revisions in a couple minutes.

It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since I finally embraced my true self. Everyday, I’m so thankful to have people who love me and see me for who I am. And you know what? I’ve become rather fond of that guy too.

What project do you want to get done this week, #WriteSky? Let's send encouraging vibes to each other.
Believe in yourself, listen to the heart of your story, and, most importantly, lose yourself in words. You can do this.
