Czina @czina.bsky.social · 16/05/2026This looks like an interesting read: www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...cornellpress.cornell.eduPostal Intelligence by Rachel Midura | eBook | Cornell University PressPostal Intelligence connects and situates histories of the post and government intelligence alongside print technology and state power in the wider context of the early modern communications revolutio... 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Our cat Ghost is now the most expensive pet we've owned. She developed pyometra, and had an emergency hysterectomy - apparently just in time, because her uterus had actually ruptured right before/during the vet exam. But, surgery complete, medications on board, and staple removal next week. 000

Czina @czina.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Indianapolis - I had no intention of seeing you - and yet, here I am. Leaving soon to Chicago, and then onwards to Austin (knock on wood and prayers to the travel gods) 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Maybe people SHOULD feel shame when they do something massively inappropriate? Like - not rub your nose in the poop shame, but maybe "Dude, Not Cool, don't do it again" type shame? Live animals are NOT appropriate to give as gifts without consent. Expressing fact that shouldn't be controversial. 010
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 11/10/2025In good news - I didn't have to call 911 to rescue the amateur arborist (aka husband) who took down a bunch of the trash tree that the insurance company didn't like. Time for a bonfire to remove the debris. 110
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Sigh. Time to start wearing masks again, I think. 5/19 co-workers have had/currently have Covid. It's possible I did too-didn't test, but didn't get run over by a truck, so if I did, it was mild. Luckily, my boss recognizes how fast it can spread through the company, so the policy is GO HOME if sick 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 08/07/2025It's probably a good thing that day-drinking won't be allowed at Kingdom Collegium. 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 14/06/2025The urge to build a blanket fort is strong today - unfortunately, it's hard to install an A/C in a good blanket fort, so climate change is foiling my plans to hide. 020

Czina @czina.bsky.social · 01/06/2025"We're all going to die" Is "You First" the appropriate response? Asking for a former Iowan. 020
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Probably the most subversive thing at the High School graduation that probably flew under the radar of Big Government: All the graduates were given voter registration cards in their packet. Now, if only they're given the chance to exercise that right. 010
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Class of 2025! Congrats to everyone who's graduating this weekend. 020
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 09/05/2025In my quest to lose weight and control A1c, I said I should give up day drinking and brownies. My husband gallantly offered to take my shares - out of the goodness of his heart. Isn't he sweet? 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 06/05/2025You'd think that people who live together could avoid talking to each other during a public online meeting. 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 04/05/2025Almost time for more fig and lemon jam. First harvest should be ready in a day or so, and main growth is well underway. 010
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Today is another day for day-drinking and chocolate brownies. Cars are supposed to start, dammit! 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 28/04/2025#mysca #ansteorra #sca 3 Laurels in Ansteorra. You'd think that the one on the left was under-dressed - but it was a Roman themed event - in April in South Texas. 170

Czina @czina.bsky.social · 28/02/2025So many people lack the courage of their convictions. If you're going to flounce - have the decency to stick to your guns and STAY GONE! 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 25/02/2025If only people with .gov email accounts did "Reply all" to bulk messages. While it's sent out as BCC - if they were to "make sure" their boss, co-workers, and friends in other departments all saw their "weekly accomplishments", and then "replied all" back as needed - think of the morale boost. 000
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Taking bets on whether air travel will be more safe or less safe by the time August rolls around. Right now - outlook dim. 130
Czina @czina.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Decisions - what to wear to LPT tomorrow. Green Wool or Fuschia Wool. #mysca #ansteorra #bjornsborg 010

Czina @czina.bsky.social · 22/01/2025So what's the maximum of alcohol you can consume in a day and not screw up your liver or your carb intake? It's going to be a long 4 years. 020
