The vet thinks she is about 7-8 months. She’s a sweet cat. Minimal strategic warfare. There’s some non-serious play fighting, but she mostly gets along with her cat brothers and ignores the dog.
Thank you! :) That’s Athena. She just showed up on my steps in mid February.

I wasn't the only one enjoying the warmer temps and sunshine yesterday. Hello, deer 😊 #mammals 🌿

Please add me too.

It is -30 today but it’s only going to get warmer now. Soon we’ll be able to open the window and hear the birds.
Apparently it is the Sask free fishing weekend. Think I'll pass.
Winter clothing drives are on. You probably have items at home that could help someone make it through these last weeks of winter! ♥️ #yxe @simfc.bsky.social

My cats. These boys do not always get along, but when they do, it’s very cute.
It's such a smart feature. I'll check it out! :)
I love Lily. I don't have video calls, but her notifications work on me. She's always reminding me it would be a bummer to lose my streak.
What is public and what is private on Bluesky? Bluesky is a public social network. Posts and likes are public. Blocks are public. Mutes are private, but mutelists are public lists. Your mutelist subscriptions are private. Invites and invite trees are private. Why are my posts, likes, and blocks public? The AT Protocol, which Bluesky is built on, is designed to support public conversations. To make public conversations portable across all sorts of platforms, your data is stored in data repositories that anyone can view. This means that regardless of which server you choose to join, you’ll still be able to see posts across the whole network, and if you choose to change servers, you can easily take all of your data with you. This is what causes the user experience of Bluesky, a federated protocol, to be similar to all the other social media apps you have used before.
hey new users, Bluesky is a *public* social network
please read about data privacy and more in our User FAQ to help you get oriented! even though we require an invite code to create an account, you should treat any posts here as if it's a public blog
