I love cats, space, science, music and poetry/writing, and video games. I suffer from eternal sadness, anxiety from climate woes, and trying to be funny when I'm not. She/her, ally, working IT in the The Machine. I'm made o star stuff and sarcasm.

Umbra is also good at helping with crafts! The help being spreading her soft fur on everything. #cats #catshelping #blackcats #diamondart

Another sunset over the town.
Sunset in the town I live in. The sky top. Left to right- My shed wall, a rhododendron bush, a wooden fence behind both, and my neighbor's house on the other side of the fence. Tree line and power poles in the distance.

It's warm enough to open the windows while I mop the floors (I would say unusual for PA, USA this time of year). Of course, Chickpea and Buddy are all about it. #cats
Foreground: top, Chickpea (grey and white female cat) and bottom, Buddy (tuxedo tabby male cat) looking out the living room window from their cat tree. Background: blue subaru crosstrek, and the neighbor's house and wooden fence behind that. Front bottom-left corner: the top of a tan reclining chair.

This night light packaging...
Held in my hand, the side of a package for a small mushroom night light featuring English and Chinese text. Obligatory Chickpea (grey and white female cat) in the background. Some translations: "infinite originalilty LED LED Light source", "decorated used for lighting checks and balances".

The black cat returned with burrs in his tail! I tried to help.... That is all from 1 swipe; got my inner wrist too- much skill! Happened last night so starting to heal.

Stars, forgive me for creating Chickle while I was bored at work (done on my phone).

I've despised the idea that people just throw plants away. Like, it's alive! Does that mean nothing to you? I don't care if the holiday is over! Here is the office pointsettia I took home March 2020 when we got our work-from-home directive. Take care of our green friends!

Yuki is extremely concerned with the ceiling fan I just accidentally turned on. Still getting used to the new house and switches.

When someone asks me how I get through my tech support days, I just say, "I have the power of Goku and the keyblade on my side!" and then judo chop the printer.
