This is very niche, but there's a major international company you have probably heard of that is headquartered in my town and does approximately what I do, and I usually get asked if I work there. And I did once! But not as a code monkey, and not for a long time now.
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

🥰What great company to be in. Look at these.
November reading wrap-up: Finally got up to date with @pretensesoup.bsky.social’s Wisconsin Gothic and loved the fourth book as much as the others! Loving @jordanlhawk.bsky.social’s Rath and Rune as much as Whyborne & Griffin!

It is that time when people seek book recommendations for kids. So I asked the 8yo for his top three from the year. They are all series!
1/ Lightfall, by Tim Probert. It's a graphic novel series (3 books at present) about a young girl who tries to save the sun.

8yo: what happens if you throw snow in someone's face?
Me: you get a two-minute penalty for high sticking.
4yo: (nodding to self) two minutes not very much.

An older male family member said, "You should make audiobooks of your books. I'll listen to them." I thought, well that will be interesting. But I know he's listened to most of the Patrick O'Brien novels, so he probably won't be too shocked.

One of those weird mornings of trying to read through and accept edits on a sex scene while the kids knock around, occasionally asking for glasses of apple cider.

My book doula told me I got the end of the last chapter of Renaissance "well-paced and terrifying," so I'm gonna let myself believe that this book, which I have announced, am making a cover for, am setting up events for, etc., is actually going to happen.

4yo is getting himself a Flintstones vitamin.
Me: Could I have one of those?
4yo: No, they're for kids. You have to take those. (Points at bottle of Ibuprofen.)
Heartily recommend having kids if you like to be read before 7am.

What are the mitzves of Thanks Giving, a festive meal, to eat the turkey bird, to hear the story of thepilgrim, to watch the football game. And some say to argue with an uncle.

Okay, so "redact" and "react" are from the same word stems (re + agere, although react uses the past participle actus), but coined about 200 years apart.

Me: Is there anything you'd like me to make for Thanksgiving dinner that would make it special for you?
8yo: Four whole fried chickens.
Me: ...and a coke?
I guess I was hoping he'd say edamame or something.
