And here is Charlie meeting his little brother #timelinecleanse

Things have been tough. I’ve been off Bluesky because having a newborn (first time mom!) has messed with my mental health and my bsky feed is pretty bleak with everything happening in our government. But, while I’m here, I’ll drop a palate cleanser. #somethingnice #palatecleanser #cats

Another day, another sleepy basset hound to break up your doomscrolling #timelinecleanse

I explained to him what 37 weeks means. He is concerned.

A sleepy basset hound for these troubling times

I’m sure @jortsthecat.bsky.social would join Charlie and these oranges in saying it’s not time to give up

Finally, some whimsy. I collect little duck figurines. Some were gifts from my dad, some are inherited from my grandparents, some I purchased. These guys live on my fireplace mantle.

The nursery is coming together

I had to put these guys in the attic because they aren’t safe around future baby. Farewell for now, friends.

Okay it’s been pretty bleak. So I’m going to share some more positive or non-political things at least briefly. Here: a super cool raccoon.

Given that Charlie sits in on all my MHPAEA meetings, I’d argue he’s MORE qualified to be HHS secretary.

See a calming photo, add a calming photo

One of the most beautiful wedding venues I’ve ever seen!

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside.

(Please don’t try to capture blue herons or bring them in your home).

Finally went to see @whysharksmatter.bsky.social give a talk today. Kept an audience of kids and adults equally engaged!

Timeline cleanse. Charlie may lack the brain cell, but he loves his little brother.
