We are convinced one of our cats is a human who was cursed. Her pupils are more round than most cats. She loves chocolate. In fact, she has a really broad palette for a cat. She is incredibly gentle, as it she is not used to having claws. #MayalaranTheCat

Oh my goodness, look what my partner just sent me!

Two cats are laying on a bed with a green duvet. There is a rainbow/prismatic light cast across the whole scene. On the left is a brown/orange/black cat looking aloof. On the right is a gray/brown cat. Both are laying on their side with feet partially tucked under their body and partially sticking out

Now she is sleeping against my leg, and purring in her sleep ♥️

Maya, a gray cat, is laying against my leg. You can see my laptop is resting on my leg, as this is during my work hours

Look at this cutie, working from home with me! #MayalaranTheCat #CatsOfFediverse #CatsOfMastodon

Maya, a gray cat, is laying in "shrimp pose", where her front legs are tucked in and her back legs splayed out. Her eyes are half closed, and she is purring very loudly. She is on top of a couch

New account, so new #introduction. Let's do it again!

I have a #MastersDegree in #ComputerScience and #ComputerEngineering. I went to #NMU for undergrad and #MSU for my graduate degree. I currently work at #UChicago for the #TMWCenter, which focuses on helping young children acquire language (and therefore other learning skills) faster.

In my spare time, I develop #OpenSourceSoftware such as
- a #SphinxDoc extension that embed #Fediverse comments on your page
- a library to talk to #ManifoldMarkets from native #Python
- a #PredictionMarket manager using the above
- a #transpiler from a subset of Python to #OpenStreetMaps's #OverpassQL
- bug fixes to many other projects, including #mypy, #base58, #attrs, #CPython, & more

I spend a fair bit of my time these days on #MathResearch, specifically into the #ThueMorse Sequence and its extensions.

I'm also a hobbyist editor on OpenStreetMap.

#Demisexual, #transfem, and happily engaged to my #enby sweetheart.

We have two cats: #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat (yes, from #StormlightArchive) See here for more on them!

I speak English fluently, Spanish haltingly, and am trying to learn Chinese

#queer #Chicago

These are our cats, #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat. Ophelia was originally my partner's, we live together full time now, and are an integrated family

Fun facts about Ophelia:
* She is missing a tooth, so her lip sometimes gets stuck open in a cute way
* She has an "activation noise" that sounds kinda like a pigeon
* She will often do 10/10 loafs, hence the nickname

Some facts about Maya:
* Her favorite hobby is judging the neighbors
* She is very anxious
* She has an incredibly dainty play style
* She has a series of increasingly ridiculous nicknames: Mayalaran -> Maya -> Mayo -> Aioli -> Au Jus

Two cats are by a sliding glass window. The one towards the top of the frame (named Ophelia) is laying on a heat pad and staring at the second cat. The second cat (named Maya) is towards the bottom of the frame. She is sat on the entry rug with her body poked between the blinds on the window, so that she can look outside.

A gray/gray-orange cat is laying on a white blanket. Her name is Ophelia, and she has one eye half open, which is a brilliant green-orange. She is very relaxed. You get the faint impression of a person's legs underneath the blanket

A gray cat, Maya, is laying on the couch. She is curled up such that her belly and paws are all exposed, though her tail is tucked near her feet. She looks peacefully asleep

There are two cats in frame, near a very small cat tower. On top of the tower, Ophelia is laying down. Below, in a meercat-like pose, is Maya. She is trying to get a better view of the other cat. They didn't know each other very well at this time.

#MayalaranTheCat is so content 😻. She loves this beanbag/mattress, but especially when it is rolled out like this. If it didn't take so much room we would leave it like this all year

A gray cat lies on a lighter gray mattress. She is in a shrimp-like pose, where all 4 paws and her tail are close together. The mattress has Cordaroy's branding, indicating it can be turned into a bean bag. A yellow, bag-like cat toy encroaches in the frame from the right

Oh dang, my #introduction post is waaay out of date now. Let's do it again!

When #MayalaranTheCat is upset at us, she will drown her toys in the water bowl

We have no idea why

My cat is playing. And I mean PLAYING. She totally has the zoomies! I've never seen this before!

#MayalaranTheCat #caturday #cats

They rarely get this close and stay civil for long. It's certainly rare that #MayalaranTheCat approaches #OpheTheLoaf! What a brave kitty :blobcatheart:

Two cats are near each other. The higher of the two, Ophelia, is laying down on a bed. The bed is on top of a very short cat tower. The lower cat, Maya, is on the floor. She is "standing up" slightly, with her front paws just off the ground. Her head is angled up in a way that makes her look funny

Hey, #MayalaranTheCat, you doin' okay?

#CatsOfMastodon #WeirdPose #FunnyCats #Cats

Maya, a gray cat, is laying down on a shelf of her cat tower. Strangely, her front paws drape over the edge and dangle. It doesn't look comfortable

Apparently #MayalaranTheCat likes to drink from the top of her fountain

This is #MayalaranTheCat on the first day she was at her new home. She was very scared. I think she was always an anxious kitty, but her previous owner dying and the aftermath of that did not help.

At this point, this was the closest I had gotten since bringing her home. I was laying quietly on the floor by her, so grateful that she would trust me to protect her. Maya may be skittish, but she is also very brave.

Maya, a gray cat, is curled up in an enclosed cat bed. She has one paw poking out of the bed. The camera is clearly on the floor with her

This is my other cat, #OpheTheLoaf. She is originally my partner's, but lives with me now, until we can live together full time.

Two cats lay on the floor by a sliding glass door. Maya, the closer one, is sticking her head through the blinds. She's probably judging the neighbors. The farther one, Ophelia, is laying on her side on top of a heating pad and puffy blanket. They are separated by about a meter, which at that time was huge progress
