My dominant hand continues to be a literal pain, so I decided to try painting with my left. The first time was mostly for shits and giggles. But now it is - going surprisingly well?

I missed that this was already going around this year (it’s sure been some kind of year, hasn’t it?). But if anyone has some extra love rattling around, my thread at the holiday love meme is here!

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?!

Libby removing the ability to deliver a book later at an interval of your choice - and replacing it with a blanket hold suspension with no future reminders - is going to result in my reading less.

Things I learned tonight:
1) Parmesan cheese WILL explode if shaken too hard
2) Getting grated parm out of your ear is a unique experience
3) Clearing a liberal dusting of cheese from every surface in your kitchen is somewhat hampered if you only have one hand, on account of the other being broken

Look, there are plenty of roles for "owner of AI company" in romance novels! The villain, the murder victim...um, the other villain...
“Owner of an AI company” seems to be the lazy, go-to romance hero job of 2025, and I’d like to just make the case for bringing back tattoo artists.

Today’s bit of joy: stone fruit season. I just had a platonic ideal of an apriplum.

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Fun fact, you’re less likely to break your metacarpals if you are (checks Cleveland Clinic’s notes) under 10, or a woman between 40 and 50.

It is extremely adhd-coded that I did not break my hand doing the relatively more dangerous and interesting thing (paddle boarding on a fast river) but instead doing the safer and much more boring thing (trudging along with my 50lb bag on the way back home)

You don’t even notice how many things you use both hands for until you break the dominant one.

Outdoor pool season is my favourite time of the year! But I do admit to some frustration with the the one-two punch of “needing to book lane swim several days in advance” and “not issuing weather-related refunds, even when intermittent lightning and thunder prevents you from entering the pool.”

Yesterday I finally managed to channel a hyperfocus episode into cleaning and organizing!
…
Friends, I spent most of the day with the fabric shaver and my laundry. I fabric shaved my socks.
Fingers on the monkey paw curling back, etc.

B. Vampire media I was exposed to as a child left the bite marks as two pin pricks. That looks like a snake bite or two needle sticks, so inverse snake bite=siphoning it up through the fangs. Or blood draw=siphoning.
You can’t get enough blood from that kind of bite to slurp!

My Hoya krohniana continues to bloom heavily, the only downside of which is that it constantly poops all over the floor. My Hoya Krimson Queen and Hoya sigillatis are both trying to flower for their first time!
