Astrid is sending love to her purry cousins – and their favourite human. 💚
A photo of the face of a black-and-white cat. She is all black except for her little white chin and white chest. She has green eyes, white whiskers, and her expression is quite earnest.

I’m finding it hard to feel hopeful in this terrible world, and just *being* borders on impossible most days, but here is a good thing that happened recently. I’m super proud to be part of this powerful anthology. I still can’t believe I’m in a book with so many brilliant poets. 💚
A photo of the book To Light The Trails: Poems By Women In A Violent World. It has a white cover with black text and features a sun made out of cardboard, its bright face painted in vivid yellow, orange, red and pink. A photo of my black-and-white cat Astrid, sitting loaf-like beside an open book, showing my poem. Only the top of the page is visible and the text reads: Mid-Forties Family Man, Allison Black, the whole time

We are very serious about clean air in this house.

A photo of Astrid, a black and white cat, with a serious, almost stern look on her face. In the background is a big Winix air purifier, with its air quality light shining blue.

Wishing everyone a better (or at least fractionally easier) tomorrow.

Some days you just have to add ‘stay the fuck alive’ to your to-do list and push everything else to tomorrow. Or so I’ve heard.

Anyway, small (purry) blessings and all that. 💚

Also it might help with Astrid’s allergies, which would be absolutely amazing and the best and all of the goodness (please, universe, please).
A photo of Astrid, a black-and-white cat, sitting on my lap. She looks grumpy and a little dishevelled.

Moving on to some truly excellent news, yesterday—well into the fourth year of the pandemic—this high-risk poor person finally got an air purifier. I am so incredibly relieved.

A photo of a Winix Zero+ Pro 5 Stage Air Purifier. It’s a large, white, boxy air purifier. The air quality indicator light on the front of the unit is glowing green.

She stole my seat AND my blanket. Lucky she’s so cute. 💚
