I’m in Mexico now and this is my view. It’s been a very stressful month, especially on the cats who had no clue what was coming. I’m grateful to be here, though! It’s a beautiful city and I’ll get to know it in time. Don’t know a soul here yet, though.

Well it’s official. I’m moving to Mexico next week! The past three weeks have been a flurry of making arrangements and packing, and it’s all coming together quite nicely. Pretty exhausted though. But very excited!

Did Jesus see his shadow this morning or do we get six more weeks of Satan?

Happy #Caturday

#Caturday seems to be a big thing here on #Mastodon. So this is Tigah.

watching the death throes of the GOP in real time is absolutely WILD

I just wish they weren’t trying to take so many of us with them

I went for a Life Appreciation walk in my neighborhood. So many flowers blooming! My faves here are California poppies and nasturtiums.

To all of the those newly joining Mastodon...

A few tips:
Mastodon has it's own culture and ways of doing things just like where you came from. Don't expect it to be just like where you were, and you'll be fine.

There is no algorithm. So BOOSTING (re-blogging) is the only way to get content seen by others. It is HIGHLY encouraged.

To find people to follow, search for relevant hashtags or browse the Local or Federated timelines.

That's it. Don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions. 😊👋

“Don’t you touch my bag!!”

Guess who has a birthday coming tomorrow! Bridget will be a year old, a grown up #cat. I ordered one of those Chewy birthday boxes and a little party hat so we’ll see how that goes. #catsofmastodon #catstodon #oneyearold

I’m putting you, Butter, behind this little door, to protect you from the jealousy of all the other condiments.

It’s not #Caturday but my #cat wants to say hello anyway #CatsOfMastodon

Morning!

Dreadful night’s sleep. Looks like it’s time for breakfast.

i rarely talk about personal stuff on mastodon, but i think this is important

i've seen several people mentioning their mental health issues today. people who have been on medication, who've been to therapy, who've worked at getting better, and are still suffering.

over the weekend, i had my first real meltdown in six years... a combination of stress, anxiety and uncertainty about the future and my place in it. i decided nine months ago to stop attending counselling, because it had done what it was supposed to do: give me a chance to live normally. and i was.

until i wasn't, again.

sometimes we start to think the healing's over, the pain is mostly gone, or we've tried everything and it hasn't worked. i talked with my 70 year old aunt about it - a woman who has been through unbelievable trauma - and she said, "Y'know, I've come to learn that the healing journey is never over. Sometimes I think I'm healed, and then the wrong word or memory hits me, and I'm back at the start again. We just have to keep at it."

i told my wife what i was going through. i told my mom, i called my old therapist, i called my doctor, and booked appointments. i acknowledged that i needed help, again. and it sure as shit hurt to admit it to myself.

don't just tough it out. that's not healing.
