I'm sorry to hear about your mother. And also sorry you ran across an antivax nutjob right at that moment.

i have now seen the straight pride flag for the first time and my jaw genuinely dropped. you're right heterosexuals, strict binarism, black and white thinking, is a kind of imprisonment, 10/10 no notes

Preparing to bake pumpkin bread. Not using the regular loaf pans because where's the fun in that?

Can of pumpkin sits to the side on the kitchen counter while I've set out three cakelet pans atop the stove. The autumn treasures pan has acorns, leaves and pumpkins. Beside it sits a pan with six different gravestones. A cheaper pan with ghosts and jack o'lanterns sits to the rear in case I need a third.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis

Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

I went through a baking phase a few years ago and have a lot of muffin/cakelet pans. The pineapple cake recipe called for a 10" skillet which I don't have, so instead I used a 9" cake pan and the autumn treasures pan for the remaining batter.

As soon as I polish off the pineapple upside down cake in the fridge I'm making pumpkin cakelets using the autumn treasures (pumpkins, acorns and leaves) and tombstones pans.

Halloween decor. New for this year: Cat and raven painting, witch boot with bouquet, gentleman werewolf wallhanging.

Living room showing office door and mantelpiece. To the right are a Mad Laboratories skull picture and gentleman werewolf wallhanging. Above the door hangs a garland of felt witchy feet. Above the mantelpiece hang a painting of a black cat and raven surrounded by peonies, a Witch Parking Only sign, and a bubbling cauldron labeled Happy Halloween. Standing atop the mantelpiece are a dark bouquet containing surprise eyeballs, a candleholder looking like a clear green cauldron hanging from a frame, a cloche (containing a coffin, raven and skull), a witchy boot holding a bouquet of autumnal flowers, a cat candle, and a raven candlestick.

I am personally shamed to have gotten this far into the month of October before putting up the Halloween decor. At least I did the outside stuff Monday or Tuesday, taking advantage of the rain-softened ground as I spiked things down. Also, we seem to be getting a battery to go with our solar panels.

Plenty of widows, plenty of women dying from intections and other non-childbirth related causes. It took a horrendous amount of time for the population to recover from the Black Death because the death rates were so high even with women having so many children.

011

FyrDrakken @fyrdrakken.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

There's a fictional over-representation because motherless children are easier to put in plot-related peril. Or see GoT, where *everyone's* mother died in childbirth unless the author had a plot-related use for her.

FyrDrakken @fyrdrakken.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yeah, each woman needs to have 5 just to stay at replacement rate, 6 or more for population growth - and there's not an unlimited supply of young women to marry. One man with 3 wives in a lifetime mean 2 other men couldn't marry unless remarriages are to widows - who already had some of their kids

201

FyrDrakken @fyrdrakken.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

That 30% mortality rate sounds suspiciously high - perhaps lifetime risk, the cumulative total over all a woman's pregnancies, especially with the absence of birth control leading to continual pregnancies. 30% chance of maternal death per pregnancy plus 50% child mortality looks like a population

Last year I came home from the animal shelter with a pair of void bebehs. Superdave is the one who climbed the door of the cage demanding to be let out. Ninja had her last sister adopted when I was in the playroom with Dave, and purred the second time I picked her up, so she got to come with us.

Dave (blue collar) has his back to me while Ninja is wondering what I'm doing.

legally sell new Leafs until the parts come in and they can fix the rear seatbelts. And it's been for months that this has been going on. (I need to call my local dealership and see if I can get mine fixed yet.)

The Leaf has an ongoing recall - something to do with fixing the rear seatbelts to make them safe to hold a baby seat - only the parts to fix it weren't actually available yet (and still might not be). I got mine in May, then the recall happened and I heard on Reddit that Nissan basically cannot

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
