What’s the name of this yoga pose? #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday #belated

Our 15th annual undergraduate research colloquium is now done. It was a great event and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Right as I was announcing the second round of posters, the fire alarm went off! Fortunately it ended up just being a nice 15 min break outside on a cool spring day. I ended the day at a reception for a colleague leaving for a new job. I learned so much from working with her.

Lots of emotions and exhaustion tonight, but also grateful.

Mother’s Day means it’s time to buy herbs and mulch, so I stopped at a local Nursery on the way home. Weeded the front beds and my gardenia. I will sleep well tonight!

Scenes from today’s Mother’s Day hike (4.25 mi/ 6.8km) around Lake Accotink. The leaves and flowers were beautiful; I regularly smelled roses and honeysuckle. This was a new trail for me and it felt busy, with another human almost always in sight. I was surprised a few times by cyclists who did not announce themselves. My new hydration pack worked great and my pace was ok. Proud of myself for getting out there.

Scenes from tonight’s conclusion of a 2 year campaign. We all survived and the baddies were defeated, albeit with a few moments of panic. I liked playing Onara, my starry Druid with a penchant for picking locks - she was a fun one.

Very unmotivated this morning. M is taking an A&P final. We have a big poster session in our college. I need to assign judges for next week’s colloquium. I should probably get out of bed. #ProfLife #SoFuckingTired

Last day of lab. We tried to cook up a bunch of leftover ingredients and did a lot of cleaning. Here’s my experiment with leftover apples, will definitely make again.

@jlamoree@infosec.exchange recently someone told me that I was born in the late 1900’s. 😳

@sellathechemist I assume you’d provide the pKa’s needed? I also think a good question could be ask students to write the equilibrium reactions present in the bottle. The bottle is hard to read, so maybe a typed version of the label would be more accessible.

@guyjantic@infosec.exchange ugh, I’m sorry your uni system has swallowed the kool-aide on this. I too hold out hope that they will someday realize AI is never a substitute for human critical thinking, creative problem solving or empathy.

@britt I would love that! Thank you!

Replying to @britt@mstdn.games

@britt no apologies for the words, I’m so grateful to chat with you! These are the two magnetic ones I bought. The aces are definitely quieter and it’s fun to be careful to keep them quiet. The tapes are definitely louder with the spinning centers (those were what my therapist noticed :) but I seriously LOVE them. They are so well made and designed. Also nostalgic 😆 so all this to say, ZERO complaints. Keep up the amazing work!

@britt oh! I’ll message you when I’m ready to order! I just realized you have a masto discount code too haha… I forgot to use that when I ordered the magnetic fidgets a few months ago. Those are so fun! I have to work to keep them quiet, my therapist actually asked me what was that noise? at the end of a session 😆

@britt omg, these are adorable! I may have to order them all lol. Excited for those fidget strawberries too!

@Edmonds_Scanner @geonz cluttered memories and keepsakes, my brain (and home) is a hobbit hole.
