Pelagic Liz 🪸🐀🐈‍⬛🦑🦀🪼☕️🍵🎮🌊

Angry woman flipping her desk and sending her computer and keyboard flying.

I recover, feel well enough to eat, and get food poisoning. Yay!

I’m not busy. Just enjoying being sick and hurt. 😢🥲

A laminated Bone Bin Key book featuring a picture of a Tibia and Fibula next to a pen for reference. It is to help identify bones within a bin (not in picture).

I love how, even at my age, I can still be inspired to do new things while taking classes.

Never let anyone tell you that you’re too old to do things, especially in science. Especially things that most assume are for younger people.

I’m going to make my own bone box guides for work!

Cat with repaired aural hematoma. He is wearing a cone that looks like bread to keep him from scratching.

Cat with repaired aural hematoma wearing a bread shaped cone. Second cat investigating the newly repaired cat.

He’s home repaired, and drugged up!

Aural hematoma on right ear of a cat.

My cat went into surgery today for an aural hematoma. He did well and comes home later! 😸

Watch vs. warning explained (in terms of weather but using tacos as an example). Taco watch vs. taco warning image. Instructor explains the difference. The taco watch shows the taco ingredients possibly coming together. The taco warning is all the ingredients have come together and formed a taco.

I would have loved weather being taught to me in taco terms.

Flattered. Something nice about being thought of in terms of my actual interests and not some bot advertisement.

Happy white and gray cat has plastic trash to play with while laying in his cozy bed.

One week of classes down and I’ve actually gotten ahead on projects and homework. Almost as happy as my cat Dorian with fresh trash to play with.

Autoclave tape has been put through the autoclave still on the roll, ruining it, but also activating all the little color-sensitive stripes. I stole this from the Reddit LabRats forum, submitted by user 'fettuchoke_mee'

In my defense, the package said "autoclave tape", so I did.

👀 Totally not something I'd do…

I think I’m real. But I also joined during the last days of invite codes. 🥲

Model of human skin showing different layers.

So I’m moving skin models around at work and an instructor asks for help and I say, “Sure, just let me put my skin down.” 🙂

Well, I guess these have a new name now. (from the center for creative reuse in Pittsburgh,PA)

Frog is making pasta while smiling. Frog says, “I wonder if there’s enough pasta.” Frog adds more pasta while saying, “Let’s add more.” Frog ends up with way too much pasta after boiling it and says, “Oh.” Frog is no longer smiling but is now slightly surprised by amount of pasta.

I do this all the time.

Horseshoe Crabs have always fascinated me.

My cat destroying my hard work. But I still love him.

I’m 38, soon to be 39 and this makes me sad. I’ve returned to classes late for a higher degree. I’m so worried about being passed over due to my age.

Ooo, there’s a list? I’m still earning Blue Sky and it’s benefits.

Need more science emotes to convey things. 🧬🔬👩🏻‍🔬

I’ve almost got myself together. Classes start in two days. Excited for my Aquaculture class, but I’m also doing histopathology and that’s exciting too. 🎉🐟🐠🪷🥬🩸

I’m going to take a new approach to my classes this semester in hopes of staying organized and on time. Staying ahead of things, I hope, will help in times I get sick (which has been A LOT) so I don’t fall behind. I am excited and nervous all at the same time.

I’ll ask around. I know my group of artist friends have been on the wait list a while.

I was Pelagic Marshmallow on the Blue Bird, decided to use my real name here - though a lot knew my real name anyway.

I found a lot of blue bird refugees here. Glad to see a lot of people again! Finally got my invite code.
