hello arah!! how are you doing? i hope you're doing well, that joel in hermitcraft is giving you good content, and that everything is great! i'm doing well, still finishing my phd but almost there this time. i watched an mcc for the first time in forever (a random illumina vod) and realized parkour warrior was back, which is wild. i love that spring is arriving because my yard is full of wildflowers now and the trees are cute again -cat-26

CAAAATTTTT :D

SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN HELL YEAH PHD PROGRESS THATS AWESOME!!!

Yesssss I’m loving Joel being on Hermitcraft! It’s been so fun! His editing and building have gotten so good! And I’m loving all his interactions with the Hermits! Everything is great :)

Oh yeah parkour warrior! I think they changed it for the better with the difficulty tiered routes. Definitely achievable for everyone. I think the last one I watched was MCC Scuffed so that really paints how long it’s been since I watched some lol

Yes this spring weather is very lovely! IKR THE TREES! The ones in my neighborhood are like a magenta pink and the ones in my campus are linen white and they like liter the floor with petals it’s been great.

Hello lilac! I just wanted to stop by and say you are honestly the loveliest person ever. I want to have your outlook in life. Now I see a nice flower of falling leaves or a butterfly and I smile and think "lilac would like this". I feel like as we get older we tend to forget to enjoy the little things in life and the beauty of things and people around us, and you just remind us all to continue doing it. I hope you are having a nice Friday, that post-graduation life is treating you well. Love you friend <3 -cat

NO U 😭❤️ i have all these encouraging things people say to me saved so i can read them when i have a Bad Brain Day™ and you have written so many of them you're such a wonderful person to be around and im glad that i found you

HELLO BEACON!! long time no talk. how's life? how's the lab? i hope you're doing well :) -cat

BELOVED CAT @cat-26

in all honesty, i put off answering this ask for four days bc at the time of receiving this message i was deep in the trenches of scientific research hell and fighting for my life.

but despite being awake for 25 consecutive hours and counting, i am doing much better today and it is cold but it is sunny and a friday and i can probably leave lab early

i got a new ear piercing three weeks ago and i already want another one. but i’m gonna be a responsible adult and wait the full 6 weeks of recovery before getting another one. if not for the physical health of my earlobe, then for my wallet.

finally parted ways w my toxic postdoc. turns out, maybe i don’t hate science maybe i just hate getting repeatedly gaslit and overworked by my mentor 🤪 it’s been a Rough week and a half. and i’m Tired. but it’s Over now and i have a new desk and lab bench and everything. i still gotta move all my equipment over though. hopefully our manuscript is like fully published by may so that smthg good comes out of all of this, i think it’s like 95% done.

i’m trying to get into crocheting. gonna go to the nearest craft store (which is not that near) to get starter supplies. i wanna be able to crochet those cute stuffed animals for my friends.

and my 2023 resolutions are to 1. (over)think less and 2. introduce more whimsy into my life. i’m doing pretty well on both fronts. i saw the green comet on wednesday. pretty neat.

how have you been? i hope 2023 has been going well for you!! are you done w your phD yet? one of my friends got accepted to their second favorite phd program last week

i don't know if the comment is in that video, but the one where he talks about changing his name to kevin is "SPENDING A MILLION COINS! - Mega Skywars #17" (i love that intro) -cat-26

everyone say thank you for helping me find the youtube comment that's been haunting me for months now

As the inventor of the roboticizer, Uncle Chuck now wonders if the opposite is also possible. Can a non-living object like a puppet be granted new life? It would certainly require a lot of tinkering…

Me: My little champ! My beloved symbolism cat! So small, so blurry! Absolutely perfect, 10/10!

I hope we see you again, but I will not survive if we do.

[smallishbabes]

hello arah! it took me so long to realize you were you because of the pic and name changes (and my very long absence). anyway. how are you doing? i'm doing great, but i'm swamped with work and flying. -cat

CATTTTT MY LOVELY FRIENDDDDD :D My apologizes @cat-26, I’ve just been a very ecstatic Joel Smallishbeans fan and needed to let everyone know lol

I’m doing well! I got another job and that shit is making me bank 😎. I also turn 21 in like… *counts with fingers* 11 days so I’m pretty excited about that. Unfortunately, I had to drop my accounting class b/c 5 classes and two jobs is a bit too much for me and plus my accounting professor was annoyingly difficult, so I’m disappointed I didn’t get to enjoy accounting this semester. My sister visited a few times so I got to hug my beautiful daughter Blossom and give her plenty of kissies. I also got some nice nail polish and been enjoying that for the past month. Basically, lots of good things and mildly bad things, so ya girl is vibing.

Happy to hear you’re doing well! It’s always a pleasure to talk with you. Work and flying seems like your normalcy now but it’s a good kind since you’ve been enjoying it a lot :)

[lilacandladybugs]

Hi lilac!!! How are you friend? I miss you, I love you <3 I hope winter is treating you nicely - cat

CAT MY BELOVED ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I MISS YOU TOO ;--;

I'm good!! I'm about to have a job interview and I've been practicing my stories a lot I'm so excited! Yes it has been kind to me for the most part. I graduated in December so at least I don't have to walk around in the cold rain, otherwise I'd probably be more bitter about it hahaha

How are you?? How is everything going have you finished your thesis? How is the dog?

[beacon-lamp]

hello beacon! how's everything? i am writing my phd thesis proposal, and in a surprising way, i am not stressed about it at all. maybe i've reached the "i don't care anymore" stage of the phd. who knows. how's the lab? is it still drowning you? i hope you got to enjoy the summer a little! -cat

hallo cat @cat-26 !!!

i hope your phd thesis proposal is going well!! one of my friends just passed his quals last month and we celebrated him becoming an Official PhD Candidate

and you’ll be happy to know i’ve gained the ability to Set Clear Boundaries at lab so i am no longer stressed out abt it even when i’m not there :D tho it does help that we finished up our Big Experiment last month and now i’m doing like. new fun shorter experiments that don’t require 10hr long days.

i am however still drowning in application essays but i am making Progress :) i am manifesting positive energy and many interview invitations

[cuephrase]

this whole issue had me by the throat tbh, but this whole moment right here- i can’t even articulate. i’m legit sitting here like 🫢🫢🫢

[lollyyon]

I’m gonna remember that you said this, Philly
