I read it yesterday and it's so good; I didn't want it to end!

A Wristed Development @awristeddevelopment.com · 25/09/2026

I was just thinking about this! My thermostat is at 68 degrees this morning. I can't handle below 70 temperatures indoors and I'm very much a summer person so I am so tempted to turn on the heat, but fall weather is unpredictable so I'm going to tough it out instead.

As soon as Brennan mentioned consumption last week, I immediately said, "everything is tuberculosis!"

Sorry to be a pain, but is there any update on when the paperback will be available? (I love your books, but it's much easier for me to read physical copies than ebooks.)

It's release day! Book 5 in my Tales of Rydding Village cozy fantasy series, Pottery & Peril, is now available. This may be as close as I come to an "enemies to lovers" story. shannaswendson.com/writing/pott...

I hope everyone has a meaningful Yom Kippur and a gmar chasima tova!

And there's another kal v'chomer that I think is important. Tanach takes care to change the pronouns of a fish who will neither know or care if you get it right, how much more so should we all take care to respect the pronouns and names of the people around us!

A Wristed Development @awristeddevelopment.com · 20/09/2026

There are also species of fish that change genders during the course of their lives. Yona also ends with a kal v'chomer (a fortiori). Yona is upset that the kikayon tree is destroyed & G-d says, you pity the kikayon which you did not grow. Shall I then not feel pity for the city of Ninveh?

A Wristed Development @awristeddevelopment.com · 20/09/2026

But when I was in HS, I learned another explanation, unfortunately I don't remember the source, but basically: Some male fish get pregnant and that's what happened here. And once it became pregnant, it's referred to in the feminine.

110

A Wristed Development @awristeddevelopment.com · 20/09/2026

There are lots of explanations and the most common (including Rashi's) is that there were two fish. He was in a male fish and then he was spat out of that fish and immediately swallowed by a female one, which was pregnant.

110

A Wristed Development @awristeddevelopment.com · 20/09/2026

So Yona gets swallowed by a fish and the text saysוַיְהִ֚י יוֹנָה" בִּמְעֵ֣י הַדָּ֔ג שְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה יָמִ֖ים וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה לֵילֽוֹת" (and Yona was in the bowels of the fish [masculine] for 3 days and 3 nights) and then Yona prays to G-d "מִמְּעֵ֖י הַדָּגָֽה" (from inside the fish [feminine]). The question is why the switch between male & female?

A Wristed Development @awristeddevelopment.com · 20/09/2026

Today is Erev Yom Kippur. Tomorrow we'll be hearing the story of Yona (Jonah) and I just wanted to take a second to talk about a thing I learned in high school about it and then spent the next bunch of years thinking about.

One of the benefits of it also being erev Rosh Hashana is being too busy cooking etc. that there (hopefully won't be too much time for me to try to go online)

Assuming the "Sixpence" in "Sixpence None the Richer" are pre-decimalization pence, that'd be 2.5 pence today, which is currently about 3.4 cents, but "A Little More Than Three Cents None the Richer" sounds terrible, so even though they're an American band, I think they made the right call.

I feel this so much. I am always nervous when I respond to people (and sometimes I type out a reply and then press cancel because I get in my head about it.)

Will the paperback also be out on September 24?

Yes, it's very frustrating. Also, I don't know if this is a browser thing or a mobile thing, but any time I click on a post in the middle of a thread, it scrolls to the top of the thread—even if I'm clicking on "see more". So if there's a long thread, I have to find my place a bunch of times.

This is the first episode that I've seen of this show so I had no idea what to expect. It was like cooking with a toddler.

Yeah, same. Also, so much of what we get to watch/read is romantic stories and having a love story specifically not centered on romance is really awesome!

A Wristed Development @awristeddevelopment.com · 22/07/2026

One of the things I really liked about this show is that the two leads love each other *so* much and it's never romantic. (Yes, I know there's going to be a ton of fanfic where they're romantically in love, because that's the law of fanfic.)

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚

A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss.

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

When someone is being robbed and the thief pulls at their necklace and the necklace just comes off cleanly. How weak is that chain? Or how strongly are they pulling? Because neither actor reacts properly. And then (Veronica Mars, I'm looking at you!) the clasp isn't broken??

On this Shark Awareness Day, it is once again my duty to remind you that sharks need to have at least 5 gill slits. Almost all the shark emojis are wrong. Check your shark toys and gear to see if they are anatomically correct. 😉

Happy Nonbinary People's Day! My name is Stevonnie, my pronouns are they/them, and I play the ukulele and sing under the name of Sunday Comes Afterwards. I have a ton of videos on YouTube (where I also do a livestream every month), and I have an album on Bandcamp and all the other places.

The most dreaded thing at the Bee is the bell, which means it's probably not the best thing to turn into a pendant/keychain. However, it is what I made this year. I continue to be in awe at the spellers at the Bee. They are all so amazing. Congratulations to Shrey Parikh!

A Wristed Development @awristeddevelopment.com · 29/05/2026

I think the spell-off is an incredible display of talent, but I would much rather see them go back and forth on the champion words until either one or both are declared champions.

I have a plan and a pattern and I'm going to start work on it now. However, for reasons beyond my control, I'm missing the Finals—though it's being recorded and I'll watch after—so the finished product will (hopefully) be up later tonight/tomorrow morning! Good luck to all the remaining spellers!
