Thank God the cat is safe. I’m so, so sorry you’re in law enforcement hell and that your safe space has been torn up.

What an extremely correct choice! (Tol Son is going as Ryland Grace for Halloween. The film is a huge hit in our house, even though I struggle with the Vastness of Space.) *waves from across the sea*

My son hasn't played hockey post-T and yet he will never, never outgrow the changes to his feet/legs/hips that come from balancing at speed over a knife. When he steps onto the ice he only ever looks like a goalie. And we did that to him (at his urging) when he was FOUR.

This morning, another New Yorker said to me, “We all know somebody who knows somebody.” And I stopped, counted, realized I know 3 people for whom Sept. 11 is a day of deepest personal grief. May the source of peace send peace to all who mourn and comfort to all who are bereaved.

I was working in the mail room in my Boston-area college and the boss sent me up to turn on the student center's VERY VERY LARGE MAYBE 96-INCH, ONLY INSTITUTIONALLY OWNED SIZE AT THE TIME television. I, uh, saw what I saw at pretty much 1/6 scale.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years

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.

Mine were a gift from the same elder who warned me they’d stop talking to me if I ever took money in exchange for a reading. I’ve had them thirty years and they’re a reliable friend so that’s how I’ll keep going.

My friend @philmargolies.bsky.social just found this review of Hornytown Chutzpah and passed it on to me. :D sovay.dreamwidth.org/1671136.html...
I haven't read a hardboiled yarn with its own Yiddish glossary since Leo Rosten's Silky! A Detective Story (1979) and since neither it nor its sequel King Silky! (1981) features sheydim, Andrew Hiller's Hornytown Chutzpah (2026) has the slight advantage along with the tikkun olam. I would cheerfully follow the further adventures of its wise guy and his demons through the suburb between Hell and D.C. I read the novella this evening in a medically recommended bath.

I have previously had the russet that turned into my white hairs, but was also where the curl "came from;" picked up a coarse, flat-follicled wavy texture in my thirties, and that turned this spring into WELCOME TO YOUR POODLE ERA.

I literally had it hacked to my ears in a flapper bob this Saturday because WHAT IN THE PERIMENOPAUSE was HAPPENNG to my CURL PATTERN. And it was heavy and we keep having record-breaking heat domes. I've never had hair this short. I'm kind of sad. But plus side, it takes 5 silly minutes to wash it!
