(He/him) I’m a guy from New England who loves books, my family, the night sky, table top gaming, and animals. Health Physics and Astrobiology are passions of mine, and I fucking hate fascists.
Found the headstone of Major Otho Ernest Michaelis today, apparently the “Father of Modern Army Ordnance”

It makes me think, I should put something outlandish on my tombstone that in 150 years
folks will just accept when they see it. Like “Yeah, he was the first man to import Cavies to America!”

Things have been so busy lately, I just haven’t been able to keep up, but one step at a time I just keep moving forward as best as I can. On the bright side, my family is healthy and the animals are doing well. That counts for a lot.

The latest baby buns are super friendly!

You know, a lot of things are hard and terrible right now, but here’s a picture of Daisy with her two little newborns. She’s a good #cavy momma. I love our cavies, sometimes they are just so genuinely sweet that it brings happy tears to my eyes, given how dark and difficult the world can be.

Esme has a belly, and usually it is not a trap.

Usually!

I lucked out and got a 2021 Corolla Hybrid, and it’s very possibly the best purchase I ever made. Just hit 200k this week and I just did my first non-routine maintenance item. In a decade or two when your 2023 wears out, definitely aim for the hybrid 🥰

Wish granted! Sabrina is here to explain everything.

My car turned over 200k miles on my drive in this morning! Hopefully it has many more left in it. #milestone #toyota #200k

I have a Spud! She’s experimenting with fetch.

Cats are woke, except when they nap.

We had a gorgeous clear night out, a few nights ago.

I’ll do take one and leave one!

You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. Also, you might like it, he’s a pretty adorable little fella. #cavy #cavysky

Lack of viable alternative options, largely due to them not being made available to most of us.

When things feel really bad, and the going gets particularly hard, I try to remind myself that I must be doing something right to be loved as I am by the people and animals who know me. By that measure, I’m a very fortunate man, even if by no other, but it’s enough to keep going. #affirmation #cats

Strong completion, but he comes Esme helping me build!
