Among various disasters yesterday (friend in crisis, child with stomach flu, internet outage), I finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. And I don't wanna say spending time with SJ is always a good time because...wow. But no one does it like she did, that's for sure.

When I die, I will come in fast and low. I will stick the landing. There will be no confusion. The dead will make room for me.

My second-best nemesis, the guy who quit his lit journal to publish a sad substack about how hard it is to be a Gen X white man who writes Literature, has decided to self-publish his books. Two minutes after that, he decided to give paid zoom consultations to advise people about self-publishing.

Decided to order a new bokken for the 8yo and went looking for short ones online. We found a "junior" one that is 36" long. Then I went and measured my personal bokken, which I use as an adult human being. It is...34" long.

![I'm [censored], fascinated by unconventional military leaders and their impact on our nation's history. I've penned a book exploring the early triumphs of Andrew Jackson through the lens of two men caught in the turmoil of war. I'm thrilled to request that the book be reviewed on Ask a Medievalist.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:45nyahwnzqaeibb57lpu5fjm/bafkreicfbfvwimsli2u4hvm5pc6tu43klurboa6izqbou45i6xzehg7hjy@jpeg)

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?!

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.
