I am seeing a lot of posts about the Kennedy Center. It is a place near to my heart.I began playing the violin at 4 and my teacher was married to William Steck, the concertmaster of the National Symphony Orchestra. I saw so many brilliant moments there—from Mr. Steck to Rostropovich to Zuckerman 1/2

Mostly pictures of Lily, my adopted cocker spaniel. Loves include avifauna, Lorca, Machado, HaLevi, Dickinson, Dürer, van der Weyden, Bach.
I just saw a picture of Lily’s son. He is beautiful and I can see so much of her in him. 💗💗💗
It really hurts to board Lily. I feel her next to me like a ghost. The kennel tells me she needs anti-anxiety meds. Like mother, like daughter. 😭
Sweet baby velvet angel face brings so much joy to my world. Even going to bed is a moment to celebrate—it means a shared sleep experience and the promise of tomorrow.
Every walk I wonder what would happen if I only had 1 waste bag but needed 2. You'd think I'd be proactive. But no. Today, for the 1st time, Lily offered a 2nd, & soft 🤢, gift. It took so much plastic origami to get the single waste bag around the yogurt & get home without getting covered in shit.
I just woke up with Lily in my arms thinking she was Benny, my cocker who died six years. All night I thought she was Benny. It was sweet of him to visit. 🌈 🩵
Huge victory: I’m booking an overseas plane trip and I don’t need wheelchair assistance at the airports! So much has changed in the last 1.5 years, and sometimes I lose focus on these massive wins. Yeah!!!!
I’m allowed to stay in bed until 6:45, when my double vision meds subside& I can finish coffee.Then I’ll walk my bebbeh, shower, & get my ass in gear for the day.That means find my passport, go to UPS,go to the seamstress,&book a car.Also, eat nachos.Thx for being my accountability partner, Bluesky.
@dazwhitehead1.bsky.social I’m never quite sure what time zone you’re in, but a very special good morning to you, who always greets us with sunshine and smiles! 🐾 💗
Prickly skin and up nearly all night, only needing two hours of sleep to wake up feeling electric. It’s a harbinger of Very Bad Things, but now I can spot signs early (prickly skin—who knew?!). And now I have Lily to ground me and help take care of me while I take care of her. 🥹Doggie tax:
Discovered: a nest of honeybees in a water meter. Built: a little house to transport them to the rancho where they can build a bigger hive and produce honey. Tonight: an attempted queen extraction and entry of the workers. My gardener says he has a 75% success rate. Wish us well.
This was a beautiful, meaningful day. It began with voter registration and continued with a community discussion about emerging law enforcement technology and data centers. It is good to find my people. I have a community. And the best part of my day is always waiting for me at home. I’m not alone.🩵
Tomorrow I am taking 6 naturalized U.S. citizens to get registered to vote in Texas. They saw the signs I have for @jamestalarico.bsky.social & @ginafortexas.bsky.social & stopped me outside of my house to say they & their family are no longer intimidated to vote. Texans, let’s do this thing. #gotv

Lily gets excited every time I put on a bra. 1) Does it mean I’m leaving and she’ll get treats?; 2) Does it mean we’re leaving and she’ll get walkies and/or a car ride?; but never 3) Mummy could use the support. See also: shoes.
It looks like an IV stick site, possibly used to treat Trump’s dementia and heart failure with meds.
oh my goodness -- Trump's hand looked absolutely awful yesterday (Kent Nishimura/AFP via Getty)
Yes, you’re a very good girl, such a sweet good little girl, oh the bestest little girl gets the treats, oh yes she gets all of the treats, oh you are the very bestest, you get all of the, all of the treats
The desire to smoke a cigarette is only outweighed by the desire to drink a banana milkshake which is only outweighed by the desire to fit into a new dress. Drives are kept in check. (O, do I miss cigarettes)
Little does she know that in 10 minutes she’ll be subject to a violative expression. Keep on smiling, baby. Your time is coming. 😭

When I spoke with my mom today she asked if I lit the Dolly Parton candle that Santa gave me a couple of Christmases ago. I haven’t and won’t, and I do love looking at it.
Last night I called the cops for a mental health wellness check on someone I know from a group.Today she is furious & said she’d rather be dead than suffer the embarrassment of having to explain cops to her neighbors.I did the right thing.Her actions have consequences & are out of my control.Still.
James Talarico brought it tonight in Kerrville, Texas—standing room only and an electric crowd! 🔥
