(by no means a perfect application, but since Zoë woke me up at 7:30 on a Saturday, I figured why not fuck around a bit with my new Blend Bunny Cosmetics Blends Artistry palette for the first time?) ☺️

*happy late Pride* 😃🌈

Zoë update (after her 4 month course of meds 😫, with new scan results)...

She's doing great. Will reassess if symptoms come back without meds but her scan showed massive improvement and she's in the clear, for now. 🫶🏼

(Thank you to everyone who helped me get through all that).
Zoë, my fluffy tortoiseshell cat, sleeps on her side with eyes closed, one paw curled near her face, resting on a soft bed.

Good morning, all! It's been a while. Popping in to say Zoë and I are doing well. She's still on her meds and causing daily ruckus. She's got another month or so to go before we reassess, but so far so good!

❤️🐾
My cat Zoë, a fluffy gray, cream, and white long-haired dilute tortoiseshell lounges on her back in bed, paws curled loosely in the air. She looks slightly wide-eyed toward the camera, with her bushy tail stretched and soft bedding visible in the background.

Also, the 18th was her 3 year "gotcha" anniversary. I hope i have oh so many more left with her!
Zoë, my fluffy dilute tortoiseshell cat with gray, cream, and white fur lies stretched out on a beige carpet indoors. She has a white chest and paws, a split colored face with a pale stripe down the center, and looks calmly at the camera with half closed eyes.

Post a tree you photographed.
A narrow paved path curves through dry, golden grass on a foggy hillside. A large, windswept coastal cypress tree stretches horizontally over the path, and a small weathered wooden shed stands to the right.

Remembering her, 1 year later.

Miss her so much. #uglydogs
Amber sits on green grass, leaning back on her hands with legs stretched out. She wears glasses, a white T-shirt with the word “geek” printed on it, denim shorts, and black sneakers, looking off to the side with a relaxed expression.

Here's a snoozy little Zo Zo (from the other night, I only WISH I was bed rotting right now) to lift your afternoon spirits.
My fluffy long haired dilute tortoiseshell cat Zoë with mottled gray, tan, and cream fur sleeps curled up on my bed, eyes closed and tail wrapped around her body, resting on white and gray blankets.

Oh, I'm so glad your precious bb is doing well. Cancer and the like in pets is way too common. 🫶🏼

Definitely enjoy all the moments! I had my other 2 girls for 14 & 16 years respectively. I miss them all the time.

Zoë says thank you (despite her face, i promise) 😅
Zoë, being grumpy. 😅

A gentle reminder this week.

🎄🕎♥️🐾
Holiday-themed mental health infographic titled “The Holly Jolly Mental Health Survival Guide” by @mental.health.with.emma. On a light blue background with string lights at the top, nine illustrated reminders are shown: take prescribed medication; you don’t owe anyone access to you—boundaries matter; you’re allowed to leave early; alcohol isn’t mandatory or explaining why; if overwhelmed, stick to basics—shower, eat, sleep; plan recovery time after social events; step away to a quiet room if it’s too much; eating is always allowed even when it feels hard; and feeling lonely doesn’t mean you always will.

What an absolutely horrific couple of days.

Please remember to take care of yourself and your loved ones. ♥️🐾

It's probably the holidays, making it hurt more that she's not here to giggle with. It's all been a bit much lately.

If anyone wants to share their favorite memory or interaction with her, I'd love to hear about it. ♥️🐾

A dear friend unexpectedly gifted me the new Reverie collection/collab from MOB Beauty x Courtney Quarantine.

Thank you to my wonderful compadre. She knew I wasn't feeling like myself these days, & this definitely brings a little "spark" back. 🫶🏼❤️🐾

Saturdays are for charcuterie. 🍖
A rectangular white platter filled with charcuterie items, including stacked slices of cheese on the left, green olives, folded slices of prosciutto in the center, small rounds of salami on both sides, larger peppered salami slices at the bottom, and a few red mini tomatoes on the right. A folded paper napkin sits beside the platter.

Wait, can we upload our own gifs now?? I guess that shows how infrequently I've been on Bluesky as of late.

Oh, it's all over for all of you* (*anyone who doesn't know) how unhinged I can get. 😅

Did y'all at least miss Zoë content, though? 😛
My floofy Zoë (dilute tortoiseshell cat) is lying on her back on the couch, eyes closed and paws curled, while I gently rest my hand on her belly. Festive pillows and a blanket with Christmas cats and penguins are visible in the background.

Tucking things away for a while.
A small home office corner with a light wood desk, a black mesh office chair, and a silver desk lamp mounted on the wall. On the desk are two small potted succulents and a plush toy shaped like a white dumpling. The wall is decorated with several framed artworks and photos, including a large minimalist illustration of Hamlet holding a sword and skull, and smaller framed pictures, such as a whimsical forest scene and various character portraits.

Happy #InternationalCatDay from this wee beauty. ❤️
Zoë (my dilute tortoiseshell cat) with a mix of gray, orange, and white fur lounges on a bed with gray sheets, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, regal expression. Her front paws are neatly crossed, and a television and dresser are visible in the softly lit background.

Black and white photograph of the Grand Canyon, showcasing its vast layered rock formations and deep valleys. In the foreground, rugged stone and twisted pine trees frame the dramatic landscape. Billowing clouds hang in the sky above the distant canyon ridges, enhancing the sense of depth and scale. Grand Canyon circa 2006, photograph by me (A.G.)

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't accomplish anything. You're not too old, the time hasn't passed, and you can reinvent yourself at any age.

Keep going. Keep going. KEEP GOING!
A typed poem on aged, beige paper reads: "we are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that death will tremble to take us" —Charles Bukowski— The text is centered and typed in a classic typewriter font, giving it a vintage and contemplative feel.

There is something about the way the light shines around your blurred creation.

Dense, misty, sumptuous.

Dewdrops upon your blackened dreams.
