🤍 GRATEFUL 🤍 Today and every day.
In advance of #SecondhandSunday (encouraging folks to buy used clothes and goodies as gifts), Denny and I want to show you just how great #secondhandfashion can look. I found this dress at an @oxfamgb shop in 2018, and the hat is around 10 years old. Den's shirt and shorts came from vintage and thrift stores. (He's now a #secondhandfirst convert.)
When you #shopsecondhand, you help reduce the 11 million tons of textile waste that winds up in landfills and incinerators. There's no better way to show your love for your friends, family, and the planet.

🐈The Cat’s Song🐈‍⬛ by Marge Piercy Mi

🐈The Cat’s Song🐈‍⬛
by Marge Piercy
Mine, says the cat, putting out his paw of darkness.
My lover, my friend, my slave, my toy, says
the cat making on your chest his gesture of drawing
milk from his mother’s forgotten breasts.
Let us walk in the woods, says the cat.
I’ll teach you to read the tabloid of scents,
to fade into shadow, wait like a trap, to hunt.
Now I lay this plump warm mouse on your mat.
You feed me, I try to feed you, we are friends,
says the cat, although I am more equal than you.
Can you leap twenty times the height of your body?
Can you run up and down trees? Jump between roofs?
Let us rub our bodies together and talk of touch.
My emotions are pure as salt crystals and as hard.
My lusts glow like my eyes. I sing to you in the mornings
walking round and round your bed and into your face.
Come I will teach you to dance as naturally
as falling asleep and waking and stretching long, long.
I speak greed with my paws and fear with my whiskers.
Envy lashes my tail. Love speaks me entire, a word
of fur. I will teach you to be still as an egg
and to slip like the ghost of wind through the grass.

🐈‍⬛The Amazing Tails of Spanky and Haas🐈

🐈‍⬛The Amazing Tails of Spanky and Haas🐈
✨In memory of Spanky and his beloved older brother Haas (1995-2013)✨
::Read the full story at link in bio::
Outside, a storm raged like a howling dog. Crack! A burst of lightning shot little Spanky out of his warm, cozy bed and straight up into the air. He cowered behind the scratching post.
“Don’t worry,” assured his older brother Haas as he put a paw on Spanky's shoulder. “It’s just a little water. Come on.”
Spanky was not convinced. He did not want to venture into the cold, even if there was a chance they might find a mouse. Haas, on the other hand, was certain it was the perfect time to find a vole.
“A mole?” asked Spanky.
“No -- a vole,” Haas corrected.
“What’s a vole?”
“It’s kind of like a mole, only smaller and not as blind.” Haas liked being the teacher.
“What good is that?” questioned Spanky.
“We can play cards with them.”
“What do you mean ‘play cards’ -- like poker?”
Haas focused in on Spanky: “Blackjack. High stakes. If I win, we eat. If they win... we eat.”
“Sounds kind of fishy to me,” said Spanky, eyeing his bed once again.
“Hey! Whose side are you on, anyways? Put on your collar and let’s go,” Haas said, pushing a deck of cards across the wooden floor. Spanky picked it up with his mouth and walked, trembling, to the cat door.

🐈‍⬛ALL HAIL SPANKY🐈‍⬛ King of Cats R

🐈‍⬛ALL HAIL SPANKY🐈‍⬛
King of Cats
Ruler of the Pharaohs
Feline Familiar to the Magically Inclined
Yesterday, Spanky the Mighty began his reign in the celestial realm where the birth and death of the universe itself vacillates back and forth in a neverending cycle of destruction and creation. Here on Earth, His Highness ruled supremely with a gentle paw and a powerful roar for just three months shy of 20 years.
He is, in true Elliot style, a cat of many names:
🐈‍⬛Monchichi
🐈‍⬛Spanky Roo
🐈‍⬛Pretty Boy
🐈‍⬛Spankycito
🐈‍⬛Manky
🐈‍⬛Spankeroony
🐈‍⬛Manky Poo
🐈‍⬛Chairman Meow
🐈‍⬛The Spankster
But more than that, he is my best best best friend in the world. My protector, my guide, my baby boy, my knight in black satin, my one true Romeo –
When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
He is stardust, billion-year-old carbon. You might mistake that glowing, green orb for Uranus – it’s really Spanky’s verdelite eyes sparkling in the warm embrace of the darkness, his luscious, soft, black fur now one with the fabric of spacetime.
I love you, I love you, I love you, you beautiful, beautiful boy. Spanky per sempre!!
RIP Spanky Chinisci
2/14/2003 - 11/13/2022
Long May He Reign

“On Election Day, a yogi serves by defending dha

“On Election Day, a yogi serves by defending dharma, by taking a stand for simplicity, virtue, generosity, and truthfulness. Our local polling station is the battlefield and a ballot is our weapon. On Election Day, yogis are called upon to fight for the welfare of all living beings.
“On Election Day, yogis vote.”
-Hari-kirtan das

✨NEW SONG for #WorldVeganDay✨ Celebrating a lo

✨NEW SONG for #WorldVeganDay✨ Celebrating a love of animals and a life of compassion for all creatures on this one special planet.
This little ditty fell out of me when I was cleaning the cat boxes. (You never know when inspiration will strike!) The lyrics arrived almost in their entirety, with just a few word adjustments, and when I sat down to play, my hands knew exactly where to go. In a few minutes, I DON’T WANNA EAT ANIMALS came to life. That’s because it’s a song that comes from the depths of my heart, and I’m so honored to share it with you today.

✨Magical✨ week in @joshuatreenps learning all about the desert and sustainable tequila. I’ll drink to that. 💧🏜🌵
🔈: @elephantrevival’s DROP was written in #JoshuaTree, so of course it had to serenade these gorgeous vistas.
