Mr. Escher A. Bug, MSc

If you were worried I ate a LOT of pasta and oranges when I got home

But still! Finding that kind of analogy in your own story to fill that antagonist role from a place you can see more genuinely is such a boon!

Oh my god I have eggs and bacon to eat in the morning FUUUUCK YEAH

I've done it a bunch of times and I always love it! Maybe when I get back from this next conference I'll order some silkworms...

I'm sorry I'll grow real plants when it warms up!!! I just need to see the green stuff...

Every time I have to reveal to someone that the plants in my office are not real I feel so sheepish... I'm sorry, my cats love to chew plants

Fuck it's the 3pm sleepies!!!!

I don't get baby fever I get WOIM YEARNING

In case you're curious it's a presentation on how to start a hobbyist insect collection :) a topic I am very passionate about and very happy to share knowledge and experience on

Time to take a little break and then lock in on the other one!

I FINISHED ONE
It's the one that's due later than the other but that's still a win!!

Today I am going to finish one of my two presentations that are due by next week or die trying

On one hand I always want to do a bunch of things and go out a lot when I have time alone to make sure I'm getting enough enrichment and social time
But I often end up staying home anyways (even if I don't get sick like I did this time) because I feel a strong sense of duty to make sure my cats will

God he's so baby. Thanks for the modesty fan

Ohhh it's getting to that time of year where I'm so impatient for bugs to be out that I consider raising caterpillars

Beautiful! And here’s a black oxford from our orchard. Extraordinary apples, btw.

I mean ARE you mad about it

RIGHT? I Knew exactly what I needed to find and it was not even in the results

Internet enshittification really getting to me today. Remember when search engines used to actually work

I love that he's actually not really egregiously fat, he just sits in such scrunched ways that he looks huge

My newest purchases from Bandcamp.

Here's what I got! A couple new releases, but mostly things I've had on my wishlist for some time.
What did you get?

Just got a daylight savings email from a vet I used to use... Bold of you to think my cat even knows that exists and doesn't just think I'm fucking up what time to feed her

A large black cat, sat on the floor in an ungainly and inelegant position mid-bath. He looks at the camera, his tongue out to lick his own nose.

George never reacted to this perfect picture of my cat so you get to see it
