I spend most of my time either trapped under a cat or in the lab trapped by my addiction to experimental science.

Saw a kitty in the park on #caturday. [For those worried, no, I don't pet animals without permission, and unlike places where a raccoon in broad daylight tends to be rabid, in Central Park, our raccoons know the trash removal schedule and do their shopping before pickup so are oft out in the sun.]

So excited to arrive home to a delivery from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social which included two new amethyst rings (and others). Combined with previous rings from them, I can now sport an amethyst on each finger of one hand all with distinct and interesting designs! Purple. So purple. So happy.

Mood. Is anyone else just really really tired? Some days, I am so tired I feel like I don't communicate my neurodivergent thoughts very well and don't have energy to explain myself. This guy gets it. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats

When I was out walking, I saw a baby wearing a wizard hat. I can't stop thinking about it. Was it: 1. Spell gone wrong. 2. Losing side of a magic battle. 3. The fashion these days. 4. ? ? ?

In NYC, #spring is springing. I love seeing the pops of color and lush green everywhere! Of course, it'd be great if we could stop springing from the low forties to the seventies and back. But thumbs up on the blossoms and leafiness!

Not a joke: someone is sleeping well and thrilled to be out of the cone and no longer confined. He's supposed to avoid stress, so it's good that he completely slept through the launch without a moment of anxiety. I'll tell him about it when he wakes up. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats

He is in the hospital with a partial blockage, and his sister hasn't stopped yowling at me that I came home without him. He annoys her, but she loves him SO MUCH. Luckily, he is cute and friendly, so will get lots of love and attention, but we miss him and want him to be okay. #cats #catsofbluesky

Mood. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats

Choose your own adventure: You wake up on your donut to see your sister lying within jumping distance nearby. If you go back to sleep, comforted and warmed by the love around you, go to page 21. If you jump on your sister's belly with no warning, go to page 57. #cats #catsofbluesky #caturday

I don't understand. He turned his head to look at me when I got close to snap a photo, but he'd just been staring at the wall mesmerized for the longest time. Like it was his favorite TV show. I just had to share my confusion. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats

What did I just watch? Can we have more? I've enjoyed the #halftimeshow before, but that was inspirational. That was community and family and love.

I finally figured out why he keeps perching on the door. It's because we - collectively - keep making bad choices. He has to be up there to get to keep watch because we need so much looking after. Stop with all the evil so he can rest. Stop being complicit. #cats #catsofbluesky #stopbeingevil

Does anyone know if this species of streetlight is venomous? It looks very cold, so I'm just wondering about bringing it inside. Just kidding. I learned from #buffy not to invite in anything with #fangs like that. Hope everyone is okay in the storm (and all the other danger).

Photos of my #cats #catsofbluesky on this #caturday showing it's great to be out in the world observing, but it's okay to recharge when you need to. This is not a story about cats. These times aren't a sprint or a marathon, they are a relay. Do what good you can when you can.

He is thinking deep thoughts about the universe. He knows its secrets, but he can't tell you: some things you must figure out for yourself. Something that isn't a secret is that he believes in you and your ability to be kind. Don't let him down. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats #caturday

Just in case anyone needs any cat photos today what with everything going on. Cats are still good. Fluff is healing. Medicinal grade fluff. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats

Other people: why don't you push the bookcase flush to the wall? Me: because then my cat couldn't do this [photo]. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats I feel like how the light and shadow falls on his face is revealing some deep philosophical insight. Not to me, obviously, but maybe to someone.

Just checking in on everyone. Has everyone obtained their own comfort box? Those with extra space, please share. There's a lot of us needing comfort, and comfort is not zero sum. The more you comfort others, the more comforted you are. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats #comfortboxes

Some days you fight the fight. Other days you curl up under a fleece blanket to recuperate so you can fight the fight tomorrow. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats #caturday

He lives his truth. He loves with his whole self. Like that poet (Don Marquis), his "heart has followed all [his] days something [he] cannot name." It's a piece of a broken toy he can't reach under a bookcase. We should all have such calm in our seeking. #cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats

Happy "you can bake as many #chocolatechipcookies from the #secretfamilyrecipe as you want" day to all who celebrate. Also happy "clean up all the flour spilled while dodging the cats" day as well. Disclaimer: no cats were harmed while baking. They were in fact given extra churu as tribute.

Anyone else identify with this single leaf still hanging on? There's an epic poem living inside that single leaf. I see you, little leaf. Never let someone else tell you when it's time to fall. #trees #winter #hangingon

Celebrity sighting in Central Park! One of the famous NYC hawks came by as we were eating lunch near the Met this weekend. The hawk even grabbed its own lunch and joined us. It was a great time for everyone - except, of course, for the mouse. #centralpark #hawks #birds

Is this what it looks like when your cat is being consumed by a tribble and only his front legs and head are left? There's so much fluff. And under the fluff, more fluff. Expeditions have been sent to find the cat under the fluff, but they've gotten lost in the fluff. The fluff is sentient now.

Anyone else wide awake and panicked only to discover the thing scaring you from across the room in the middle of the night was the #glowinthedarkyarn that does, in fact, glow in the dark? #crochet is not for the faint of heart. Who needs horror movies?

A lot happened in #NYC yesterday, but just noting that the leaves were falling UP off the trees, not down. Also, some of our #trees are really striking in silhouette. All in all, good job at doing November yesterday, Manhattan.
