No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Cookie update. Almost 3 weeks & we're at that staying 5 ft from me at all times phase. Here he is judging the way I clean his litter box. He has opinions. Cats are amazing. This morning all of his cat toys were lined up at his water bowl. Sharing? Drowning? Love this guy so much. Hugs to you all ❄️💙❄️

I love this cookbook so much. Ross got it a few years ago and I appreciate how you can find almost ANY cooking technique within its pages. I figured Kenji had a great hard boiled egg technique in here. I tried it out and they truly were the BEST hard boiled eggs I’ve ever had. 🥚 #BookSky #cooking

Up we go into the new week. May it be beautiful and interesting, like these violets growing on a vitrified hillfort, with a medieval castle in the background 😌 #MondayMotivation

What are you up to this morning? I’m curling up with the excellent book Alexander by @ailishsinclair.bsky.social while the sun comes over the mountains. #BookSky

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alexander: Dancing with Fire by @ailishsinclair.bsky.social was a beautiful book! My screenshot below has my thoughts! 📚💜📚 #BookSky

I am a giddy girl!!! Look at this candy cane I embroidered today!! This single candy cane took me an HOUR! I wanted to make my edges nice and tidy and I’m so happy with how it turned out! Progress is happening!! My first satin stitch were kitty cheeks- circles became rhombuses. 🪡🍪🏠❤️🎄🪾🪡 #embroidery

The Snow Queen, Thomas Bromley Blacklock, 1902.

A slow and cozy morning with my kitty, my brown sugar fig candle, my coffee with notes of pear and butterscotch, my homemade caramelized banana rum pecan scone, and my book! Alexander by @ailishsinclair.bsky.social! It’s snowing lightly outside. #BookSky #cat

Welcome to your 5th snow day in Aberdeenshire! There are no exits. Don’t try to escape by road; you know the Toll of Birness is closed. Snacks can be located in the fridge. Stay warm 😌 #uksnow #snow #Scotland

Rose hips under a stormy sky. #snow #Scotland

The last of the pecan frangipane I made has been spread on toast! My amber, peppercorn and black tea candle is perfect for this rainy morning. Listening to Baroque music with my kitty curled up on the windowsill while reading @ailishsinclair.bsky.social’s Alexander is a vibe. 🌰🍞☕️🕯️🌧️🎶🐈‍⬛🏰📚💜 #BookSky

I have just enough time to enjoy reading Alexander by @ailishsinclair.bsky.social and sipping my freshly brewed pour-over before heading off to my PT appointment with Todd. It’s raining and we still have about 90 minutes to sunrise. I love days like this. #BookSky

Start of the day. Moon, fog and so much snow.

Diving into my next @ailishsinclair.bsky.social novel while enjoying a delicious meal. So cozy for this dark, rainy January evening. 📚❤️📚 #BookSky

It’s just me and the deer, that have been here, this morning… #uksnow #snow #footprints

Birthday sunrise from Glastonbury Tor. It was a beautiful morning with a lava sky to start the day off with. ❤️

I love my goofy girl. Her gaze makes me think she loves me too. (She totally does. We are peas in a pod.) 🐈‍⬛💜🐈‍⬛ #cat #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky

I think I look good with the white 😉
