Not as spectacular as the last couple nights (and just died down so I came back inside for a bit). My how spoiled I've gotten! I'll check again in a bit.

What a good sunbeam this is to have a yawn in. Charleston has good taste. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charlie the black cat lounging in his window bed, covered in a sunbeam. One of his front paws is resting on the edge as he yawns.

Peeking in to say hi. I'm still around.

I am doing a survey about yoga and neurodivergent folk and your boosts would be appreciated.

If you are neurodivergent (self-realized or Dx'd, it's all good here), and fall under the vast ND umbrella, I'd love to hear from you. Quick 6-7 question survey and you can remain anon if you want.

Thank you!

This little guy tried to fill in for me at my weekly check-in with my boss today. My boss wasn't fooled, but she did spend a few minutes telling him that he is a good boy. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #DailyOrionSpam

Selfie of me (a white woman with straight brown hair) giving Orion (a gray and white tabby cat) smooches as he perches on my lap. He is sticking his face in my face and resting his front paws on my arm.

@elmiller0330 The hand holding and the kiss with his eyes closed! He's adorable.

@blindbat84 The brulee sounds awesome.

@vlrny That sounds lovely. I've always loved ladybugs.

Hi folks! A while back I found a website that connected disabled people with therapists who were disability advocate-type therapists. I can't find it anymore. Suggestions? #disability
