Today is the day I reveal to mastodon that I have a Great Dane who sits like this.

Thought it needed to be known

Generally, they all preferred starting the weekend with coffee in bed. #grickledoodle #oldies #Sunday #coffee #pets #weekend https://gricklemart.com/second-delightful-graham-annable-doodle-collection/

OK to cry

LAST THING I REMEMBER WAS YELLING “BAD CAT MR FRISKERS!” AND HIM STUFFING ME INTO THE TRUNK OF MY IMPALA.

His work is done for the day. #CatsOfMastodon #sleepycat

It was a well, actually

This is Dinah, aka Dinah Bear. She’s a Russian Blue that I grew from a seedling in this lovely terra cotta pot. #cats #catsofmastodon #caturday

This is my timely reminder you don't need to be good at the things you enjoy doing.

You're allowed to be mediocre and you don't need to aspire to be better. 💖

1000 years ago some Viking craftsman lost all his equipment in the lake Mästermyr on the island of Gotland. In 1936 the wooden chest containing all the tools were found at the bottom of the former lake, which now had turned into a bog.

@Lowie Thank you. I spent 45 years as a "dishonest" writer. That's how long I kept a deep, dark secret from myself about something that happened. That I knew happened. A storyteller who can't (or won't) tell their own story isn't much of a storyteller. I hope I'm cured of that disease.
