Getting to Know you

There's a cat in the neighborhood who wanted to come live with us. That is, until she met Joel.

That one meow makes me think that Joel might have a future in opera. And Joel is ALL man. I can tell.

this reminds me of when Harvey Joined our family.We all ready had three cats,and Harvey decided that he was adopting us no matter what.
I was getting the stuff out of the car after a shopping run when I came back out Harvey was sitting in the back seat with a look as to say I'm staying.I told him that he had to take that up with every one inside. Mrs G.came out to see whom I was talking to and she saw the same look and said untill we know hes safe to be around the other cats he goes into isolation.the next day we were at the vets and he gave Harvey his shots and said that he was healthy and able to join the rest of our babies.
Of course there was the usual squabling until Harvey learned who was boss.

Poor Puss! She looks so confused by Joel's swearing! I guess your cat Joel isn't really looking for a roommate, eh? Both of them are very cute kitties, but I AM partial to cats anyway.

Oh gosh, I hate that cat growl. One of my cats does that every time a stranger cat appears in the yard, and it never ends well.

That Joel, what a tough guy! He looks just like the cat I had growing up. Sounds like him, too.

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

-
Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

My Utterly Awesome, Insanely Happy, Fabulous, Feminist Morning

Bloggy friends, Are you sitting down? Oh, right. Anyway, I have big news! Last night I got a call from my cousin Butch (hereafter known as the best cousin a girl could have or BC). Well, BC had donated 250.00 to the Clinton campaign in order to attend a breakfast with the candidate. AND HE COULDN'T GO! So, would I mind filling in for him? Well, OK. I'm all about the family. So, I went to the Hyatt Regency this morning, and who is introducing Senator Clinton? That's right. . . Gloria Steinem. Yes, my friends, The . Gloria. Steinem. Of course, the 250.00 tickets were the cheap seats (read, no seats at all--we just stood in the back), so most of my pictures of Senator Clinton ended up looking like this. And this. And this. Yes, that is a man with thinning hair in front of the senator. Before the speeches, I heard a rumor that Gloria Steinem was going to be speaking at Justin's Ice Cream Parlor later in the day. So I high-tailed it down there and I met Gloria Steinem. ...

National Coming Out Day

October 11 is National Coming Out Day. For years, I’ve made a joke of this on social media. “Hey, friends, guess what?” Or, “Surprise!” There’s a sort of forgetting when you’ve been “out” for nearly 2/3 of your life. But I have recently reawakened to a powerful truth. Coming out, even today, is risking your life.   A few years ago, I was working in a summer program for high school students, and a boy came to class with his face bruised and swollen. An adolescent fight? No. Gay bashing by other young people? No. His father beat him because he was gay. His father . Other teenagers become homeless, hence the need for homeless shelters dedicated to the care of LGBTQIA+ youth. Drug addiction is rampant among LGBTQIA+ as a result of this violence, shame, and isolation. And last but most important, dozens of transwomen, gay men, and lesbians are maimed and murdered each year. In such an environment you may wonder, why come out? First, it is hard to be two people—to show one...
