I am a complicated woman who loves books and art and photography and spirituality and animals and people (though I'm afraid of them). I love nature and music and adventures and video games and movies and pizza and psychology and etymology and philosophy.https://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3m2asj4j2cc2uI'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Shelburne Vermont” - sign up now to join me! https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/847314/?referring_vol=11817864&rname=Cassondra&share_context=signup-form-modal&share_medium=bluesky&timeslot=553434603 Oct 2025 00:23 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2asj4j2cc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lyrxvfut2s2fI feel like we are in the middle of a dystopian universe... And not just one, seemingly all of them somehow mingled together to become the greatest dystopia ever created by humanity against humanity. All is chaos, all is confusion. I want peace on earth, but never by killing all those who are other.14 Sep 2025 09:25 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyrxvfut2s2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3ly3xmgfxus2vCan you tell Gypsi is a little peeved at me? 😻05 Sep 2025 15:21 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3ly3xmgfxus2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lx3vyhtnzk2xAwwww.....23 Aug 2025 21:27 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lx3vyhtnzk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lvtdy2crzk26Sometimes on Facebook one gets poked to see if they are still alive. Why yes, I am! Poke back. I lurk here and there but stay quiet for the most part because I am afraid of being rejected. At times I can get rejected by their silence. Yet I go silent with no ill intent. Darn RSD.

A bush full of flowers. And a large bright rainbow. This was after having seen crows and blue sky peeking through gray clouds, both of which are signs from my deceased dad. Here are the flowers:30 May 2025 00:03 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqdwlxttx22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lq6msnfrl22eTrying to get Gypsi to look at me can be a challenge sometimes. 😄 I made funny noises till she turned her head.27 May 2025 21:24 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lq6msnfrl22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lq23nxzwxk2hIs Bluesky having some bugs?

I catch myself doing the same. Is this a human thing? Why must we turn everything into Us vs Them? Why do we vilify the Others? We dehumanize the "enemy" to make it easier for us to dismiss them.11 Feb 2025 16:16 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhw2mq6c622bhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lheu5orfdc2vGypsi in semi-distraction mode.04 Feb 2025 20:05 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lheu5orfdc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lgw2tnaix22dShe is so cute right now, keeping me company on my desk again.29 Jan 2025 22:55 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgw2tnaix22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lgit6bfmkk2eThis is Mittens.

Nothing was done except filling a couple of prescriptions I'm already taking. When I asked for help with my asthma flaring up, he told me to take Symbicort twice a day. Um, I don't even have taking it once a day mastered. Why I don't is hard to explain.23 Jan 2025 13:15 +0000at://did:plc:vr6riswlox6yy7ir2na7knka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgfxojf3b22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/casstranquility.bsky.social/post/3lg5gl263jc2qIt is hard to write when my mood is so low.
