The poltical pressure to capitulate on PPE is immense: on every individual who wears masks, on every event that requires it, on every social group that maintains it as a norm. The goal is to wipe every trace of what we remind them of from awareness. To mask is a regular practice in resistance.

@robinjohnson.bsky.social and I spent the last episode of Strange New Worlds occasionally arguing about Future Uhura's hair. I maintain that it's cut into a pixie, he thinks it's in some sort of bun. Could someone who watched it on a better screen than us settle the matter?
Still from the finale of Strange New Worlds. Uhura, a young Black woman with her straightened hair in a short, sleek style that mimics those worn by Nichelle Nichols in the original series, is kissing Scotty, a young white man. They're both in red Starfleet uniforms and standing on a transporter pad.

With alt text. Note: having two blokes "on security" outside synagogue services, which means checking people's tickets and asking after their families, has been the norm for decades, at least forty years. I'd estimate the vast majority of UK Jews are atheists, and mostly still identify as Jewish.
Webb asks Miliband: "I don't know whether you're intending to go to a synagogue this weekend, as many British Jews will be, many of whom will feel less safe. What do you say, not to [Chief Rabbi] Ephraim Mirvis, but to them, to individuals. Are you going?" Webb asks.

"I don't go to synagogue," Miliband begins his answer.

Webb interrupts: "Isn't that then the point?

That actually for a lot of British Jews, they really feel this, they have to have security duties at synagogues. They know that there have been violent attacks, and that is why when Ephraim Mirvis uses those words they mean an awful lot to them and perhaps, frankly, less to you."

Very funny to me when these bookclub scammers just plug my responses into ChatGPT and come up with the most obsequious responses
A bookclub scammer to whom I replied “Eat shit” sent a follow up email that reads (in part, because it’s really long):

Colin,

Fair enough. I got your "eat shit" loud and clear, and honestly, I respect the directness.

But I want to clarify something, because I think my original email read like boilerplate SEO spam, and that’s on me.

I didn't pull your name from a random list. I came across Ghostland while I was digging into American folklore and the way abandoned places hold collective memory. I picked it up, read it, and genuinely found myself stuck on it, particularly the way you tied "zombie homes" and economic decay to the ghost story tradition. It wasn't what I expected, and it stayed with me.

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

Yay, this is making nice progress. I want to move the block I've just placed (third from left, top row), but I'll wait until I've made more.
A quilt in progress on a design wall. The block is Birds in the Air, with an off-centre Barn Raising layout, which means lots of little triangles in a diamond layout. The fabrics are also pretty traditional, in autumnal colours. I've made 35 out of 49 blocks so far, and it will be a little over fivd feet square.

This is just my 2 cents as a nonbinary person but I genuinely think that cis people's gender is just as constructed as trans people's. Cis people love to accuse us of making up genders or artificially modifying our appearance but... the entire makeup, fashion diet, workout, and haircare industry exists so that cis people can maintain the illusion of two entirely distinct genders with no overlap.

Now with alt text, as this fabulous interview richly deserves.
Take me to the moment where you finally arrived on the beach after swimming so far. What did that feel like? 

A little uncomfortable because my legs gave out and I fell onto some barnacles, so that was fun. And then there was a bunch of people, so that was wonderfully overstimulating, so I had to put on a smile — "Yay, I'm suffering on the inside! Too many people!" Had to pretend I was an extrovert.Now, you had a support team nearby on a boat. How reassuring was that for you during this process? 

They were great. They did everything that they were supposed to. They had to give me food every 30 minutes just to keep my blood sugar levels up. And because I was nauseous, I did a lot of, "no, I don't want to eat, go away!" But they forced me to eat. So that was good. 

Did you think about giving up? 

Oh, God, no. I was more so just thinking, "oh, can this be done yet? Nope, still not there."I just swam through the stream. Otherwise, if I didn't keep swimming, I was going to be sitting in my own vomit.

What made you decide that you wanted to do this particular stretch? 

I just think every time I've ever been on the ferry, I thought, I kind of want to jump in and swim across. And I've had a lot of people tell me that's not possible. So I think a lot of it was spite. Right before jumping in, I thought "this is going to be the worst day of my life," and then when I got in the water, I thought, "oh, it's not too bad temperature-wise, so I shouldn't have any problem making it to the other side." I was really concerned about hypothermia.

Melanie, you don't feel great now, you didn't feel great when you finished, and you were feeling dread at the beginning and worried about hypothermia. Why did you do this? 

I guess I thrive on self-loathing.

Look at this little chonker! She's back up to 3.1kg and we're so proud. The secret seems to be keeping her fancy renal kibble in the freezer, of all things. I figured she didn't like it going stale, but the little weirdo actually prefers it cold. Also she has strong opinions about her new heat pad.
Ninja, a small black cat of seventeen, is sitting protectively on a red fleece blanket she is currently obsessed with. As a heat pad has been placed underneath, she's got her paws stretched out to make it clear that it is HERS. She looks like she's attempting some sort of heraldry pose. Here she is in a slightly more orthodox position, front paws stretched out in front of her, tail curled around her. Now she's happily curled up in a ball. And this is what happened when we tried leaving the heat pad on top of Beloved Red Blanket rather than underneath it. Yes, it has a nice plush grey cover, but nope, she wouldn't go near it. She loafed pointedly on some heaped up red blanket next to it instead. It's a proper heat pad for pets, with one of those steel reinforced cables that are puppy-proof.

It is so good to be sewing again! It had been four months, since I made a hospice quilt for a friend who died. After that I froze up for a while. So naturally I leapt in and overdid it the first week, I'm tired now, but at least I feel like I've made a solid start, and can slow down.
21 quilt blocks pinned up on my design wall, in four rows of seven. They're Birds in the Air blocks, a traditional American patchwork design of big and small triangles. I'm using autumnal colours in slightly patterned prints, and the overall layout will form an off-centre diamond when all seven rows are complete.
