The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

September is here and what better place to spend Labor Day than in the weightless gravity of space where you couldn’t expend energy even if you wanted to as you drift endlessly into the abyss of a Continental Breakfast at the Space Hotel which is going to be here in only three short months!

The issue with postdocs isn’t so much compensation (largely set by feds), but with unfair labor practices (60+ hour weeks) and abusive mentor- mentee relationships. I mean, I had a great relationship with my postdoc mentor (and perhaps the author did as well) but that’s by no means universal.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

If I could have a magic box that would let my cats understand me for only one sentence, that sentence would be, "For fuck's sake, throw up on the bare floor and not on the goddamn carpet"
Sugar the cat, who just went out of her way to move off the bare bathroom floor to throw up on the hallway carpet AND ALSO ON THE STAIRS, JEEZ
