Why are you waking me up? Go back to sleep, human.

(Also our kitties look like siblings with those white streaks up the face!)

✍️ Met a legend today. As a budding existentialist, the Giver gave my child self much to think about.

🍎 I reread the Giver last night and am saddened by how relevant this book of fiction is. Thirty years later.

It took 37 hours, but he's finally covered them toes with a complete pair of socks.

I envy the sensorily unflappable ease by which he can walk through this world. As a hypersensitive #neurodivergent #personwithdisabilities this is an experience I cannot fathom.

Step away from the tough news cycle: My roommate has been rocking this one sock look for 32 hours and counting. When asked how long he planned to sport this look, he said, "For as long as he needs to." This observer has no idea what he means and will keep you updated if this beat is of interest.

Today I was prescribed dark chocolate. The only prescription better than that? About 9 years ago, my doctor prescribed… a dog.

An adorable little, black dog with a white muzzle and chest, and one blue eye and one brown eye. She looks very comfy while sitting on top of a blanket.

That time the polyphenol curcumin loved me so much it stuck with me for a month in its turmeric form. Happy #FluorescenceFriday from the proud mama + former mascot (UV) of #FluorescenceFriday! We kicked it off back when we roamed the brilliant halls of @cenmag.bsky.social! #scicomm #chemsky #medchem

You wouldn't know from this photo that these two comfy cuties actually don't care much about the other. They're both just trying to be close to me, and my kitty, Trent, likes to be touching me with at least one paw. Thankfully he stopped laying right on top of our dog, UV, because she's fragile!
An adorable photo of a dog and cat snuggling. A little black dog is wearing a teal hoodie while cuddling up against her human. And a cute tuxedo cat is laying against her with the top half of his body laying over her butt, and his paws reaching out towards their human. They look very comfy.

A smiling woman, wearing heart shaped sunglasses, and holding a beautiful little black dog that has heterochromia with one striking light blue eye and one brown eye. The dog is wearing a teal hoodie, and has a very serious expression because she takes life seriously. There's also water in the background because they're at the Baltimore Harbor. The woman obviously adores this dog.

As an supporter of diversity, I thought I'd show off this variety of sandwich. It's my favorite kind.

Also Happy Bday @alexgoldberg.ca! I hope it's filled with your favorite 'wiches!

When I got this blanket through Buy Nothing the person giving it to me said, "Your kid is going to love this!" I didn't correct her. I still have a little kid inside me.

#chemsky seems like the right place to share this photo memory from 8 years ago when I was a teeny lady and resident of the delightful country of Oh Canada!

Cute little black dog wearing purple heart shaped lab goggles, being kissed by a red headed lady. The lady is also wearing purple heart shaped glasses and clearly adores the little dog.

ChemisTea.

It's sitting on top of a periodic table cutting board, and in the background is a test tube spice rack, mortar and pestle and small scale.

Stateside residing me was very confused for a solid minute here. How was it freezing in June? Then I saw wind speed was in km/h, and that this was in Canada. Anyways, as I used to tell my students. Units are important! UNITS UNITS UNITS. I have very strong feelings about units.
A screenshot of a Facebook memory from 7 years ago. It shows a screenshot of the current weather at the time. A temperature of 33 degrees, humidity 27%, UV index moderate and wind speed 28 km/h. It says Toronto at the top, and my post language at the time was "It's so hot out, and I love it!"

Picard.

If you're a TNG fan. Prioritize this asap! If you don't wanna subscribe to Paramount+, now is your time to get that free trial and binge it. You are welcome.

It was tough deciding what my first post would be. But it obviously needed to feature my supermutt, Ultraviolet!
