Can I do a cat AND science post?

Ben is hungry and the valence quarks of a proton are up up down

Nailed it!
Ben, my 15 year old tabby staring through my soul while peeking around the door frame letting me know it's dinner time

It has been 2 months since I got my ear pierced, I got to take out the studs. I finally get to be a Bajoran!!! (star trek alien)
I got three piercings in my upper cartilage of my ear, which is called the helix. I'm wearing a helix to lobe chain. These aliens called Bajorans in star trek also wear fancy chain earrings. I've always loved how their earrings look and now I can too!

Bender from Futurama is in a fancy arm chair drinking some brandy on Xmas eve. Amy and Fry are in the background putting up decorations. The text says "Xmas eve. Another pointless day where I accomplish nothing"

Africa by Toto came on in Sam's Club and I was so happy, then they changed it before the first chorus to some country song and I was so sad

Last night Comfortably Numb came on in the car and my husband Dylan immediately paused our conversation and just let me vibe. I love him so much!

Happy #caturday! Ben and Marty are now sharing the backpack, even though we have two of them

#CatsOfBluesky
My brother kitties snuggling in a blue backpack that's open on the floor. Marty the flame point is chilling, Ben the tabby is looking up alert with wide eyes wondering if it's lunch time

Follow up picture of my cat Ben napping in the backpack. There are two backpacks, but they only like the blue one and have been taking turns.
My tabby cat Ben sleeping in the backpack on the floor. His eyes are wide and wondering why I woke him up to take a picture

I think an argument could be made that Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie

I'm getting some "Now do Hawking" which is something I cut (that's right I did edit this 3 hr video.) In terms of legacy --Hawking was responsible for his own. In life such an asshole that after death no one wants to make his legacy. Feynman at least had friends.

You know you're a physicist when you don't use the word "degenerate" to describe a person
