Indeed. Add to that the message of Genesis that man has “dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing…,” and we have a blueprint for self-destruction.

Good morning, Scott! 🐈 🐈🐕🐕

Hi, P! 🙋🏻‍♀️
As @mad7500.bsky.social would say, “Go back to sleep!” 🥱

Every single vote counts!

She’s pretty low key most of the time. ☺️

💚 It most certainly is!

Thank you, K. I have no idea. I’m moving on in the belief that those who miss me will look for me, as you and I looked for the ones who meant the most to us when we were compelled to begin anew. Also, thanks to @goodport.bsky.social ‘s cookie raffle, I’ve made some new friends. 😊

Agreed, K. I’ve concluded that I, a person of no notoriety, do not matter and am not worth the time and effort. Bluesky has much bigger fish to fry than in the early days when I first signed up. I stay on not out of loyalty to Bluesky but because I love the friends I’ve made here — you among them. 🙂

created exclusively and solely for them, and — when those things didn’t work — simply begging them to remove the 2FA, which they said they could not do. SO SORRY. @goodport.bsky.social and @rescuerofcritters.bsky.social have tried valiantly to help me get my followers over to this account.

It was a mess up between Bluesky and my email server. One day the 2FA code didn’t show up in my email. I went back and forth with the Bluesky, admins, “proving” my identity, offering them a new email address…

Now there’s a toothy grin! 😬

The right one (for you and for her) will come along; they always do, as you know as well as any of us.

🤣

I keep boomeranging between appreciating simple pleasures and succumbing to despair. As you know very well, the silly cartoons help with the former.

Thank you, John. 💛☮️

Beautiful! 🤍

Beautiful!

She always hits her mark! 🎯

It wasn’t the one I had planned, but the girls got rowdy at about 1:00 a.m. and hadn’t really slowed down much at 4:00, when it was time for me to rise — if not shine. 🥱

My guess is that she was too tired to eat very much of her own gourmet cuisine.

The ramifications of the Israeli-American war feel very real to me this morning.

Tuna and Temptations are VERY popular around my house! 😻
