Happy #Caturday from Bearcat!
A brown mackerel tabby cat is curled on a teal couch, paws outstretched, gazing at the camera. He's handsome and he knows it.

My (bad) singing gave Bearcat hope that I have not forgotten him and he will in fact get dinner some day. Proximity to mealtime is an important variable in this experiment!

In true cat fashion, Janeway is just out of reach. #Caturday

Thanks, unknown coworker, for beginning this fascinating discourse, so I can share this study with more people! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41118773/
A whiteboard with 3 lines of text. 1. "Fall Fun Facts (FFF)" in blue ink, in a large round hand. 2. "Turtles can breathe through their butts" in the same blue ink, but much smaller and different handwriting. 3. "Maybe people can too, some day! Tasuki Fuji et al. Med. 2025" in yet different handwriting, and black ink. The Fuji et al reference is linked in this post.

Sushi for dinner. Janeway was not invited. She was purring desperately and trying to crawl into my lap. #TabbyCat
A tabby cat peeks hopefully over the edge of an empty table. The sushi is all gone. She is filled with despair at this betrayal.

I'm trying to read but this cat is so cute it hurts

A pox upon all people who block bike racks with these scooters #SEAbikes
A lime scooter is parked in front of a bike rack on a Seattle street, completely blocking access to the bike rack for any cyclist who would like to lock up their bike. Not shown: me fuming, leaning my bike against the rack in a completely unlockable position, and dragging the scooter away.

Neighborhood giant skeleton update: recovered from their severe injuries, huzzah! #Seattle
A 12 foot tall plastic human skeleton stands in a yard, with a wooden fence and orange house in the background. They are wearing a rainbow tutu and a Pride flag cascades off their ribs. A few weeks ago they were missing their head, left arm, and right forearm, but now they are whole. Huzzah!

People! Stop blocking bike racks with shared scooters! The scooters don't need to be locked up and I can only be in so many places at once to drag them away! #Seattle #SEAbikes

@seattle.carinbikelane.com 8:20am, 7/30/25, 12th and Madison. I see people parking their cars in this spot regularly.
A bike lane marked by white plastic posts veers and is suddenly marked only by paint. A yellow box truck is parked in a bike lane just after the posts end. A man wearing shorts stands by the truck, looking at his phone, perplexed. Maybe he's googling 'can I park in a bike lane if it is convenient for me, who cares about the cyclists'

It's a beautiful (sweaty) morning for (extra sweaty) deadlifts. #LazyLoading
A barbell sits on a deadlift platform loaded with two 45 pound plates and two 25 pound plates on either end. A prettier approach would be to replace the two 25's with a 45 and a 5, but life isn't always pretty, is it!!

Love to see a full bike rack! #SEAbikes
A bike rack is in front of a metal wall. It is packed with bikes of different types and colors. A neon green bike helmet and Safety Pizza especially pop.

Neighborhood giant skeleton update: they appear to have partied too hard during Pride. #Seattle
A 12 foot tall plastic human skeleton stands in a yard, with a wooden fence and orange house in the background. They are wearing a rainbow tutu and holding a Pride flag. They are missing their head, left arm, and right forearm. Relatable!

Happy Friday from the queen of blueberries! Fresh from my (tiny, potted) garden.
A giant plump purple blueberry held carefully between a thumb and forefinger. Fingernails are painted with holographic sparkles, shimmering rainbow in the sun.

I expected these to turn out badly (purple + yellow = brown) and made a bunch just in case. Now I have spares to share 😁
Four tie dyed bandanas, in black, yellow, purple, and a bit of white

Just a lil non-binary tie dye project. pride every day!!
A cropped view of a bandana tie dyed in black, purple, and sunny yellow. Amazingly the yellow didn't turn muddy with purple contamination!

Nothing like a fluffy kitty tummy on a lazy Sunday morning. #TabbyCat #NotCaturday
A tabby cat's face as he lays on his back on a fluffy fake sheepskin. His green eyesook away from the camera. One ear sticks out and his whiskers rise into the air. Viewed from above, a tabby cat lays on his back on a fake sheepskin blanket. His chin is tucked, his front paws are curled up, and his fluffy tummy is soft and inviting. It's probably not a trap.

Very exciting news, I finally used all of this massive moisturizer pail bought from Costco at least 2 years ago. Confused Bearcat for scale.
#Perseverence #TabbyCat
A brown tabby cat lays curled on a faux sheepskin blanket. An empty 19 ounce tub of moisturizer leans against his legs. He is looking at the tub, perplexed.

Giant skeletons in all seasons: a public service?
#seattle
A 12 foot tall skeleton stands in a yard behind a wrought iron fence. The skeleton is wearing pink star-shaped sunglasses and has a bright pink inner tube with a flamingo head slung over one shoulder, and a bouquet of red flowers in the other hand. Both arms reach for the sky.
