WELL I went to Cdn Tire, planted a few plants, dug up some heinous fake potatoes, and tore out a bunch of dead shrub branches, so I'll call that adequate ...and now I'm gonna write some more 💀

That's why we need experts. 😉

A post and reply, screenshot from Threads:

A user publishes the drawing of a pick-up truck with a massive magnet attached to it's front. On the back of the pick-up, there's an arm that reaches over the car and holds another magnet in front of the first one. The post says: "I want a magnet powered daily driver."

Volkswagen replied to this post and said: "We sent this to the engineering department and they blocked us on Teams."

STILL IN THE RUNNING BY GOD I usually make it into room temps in the 50s before I cave (never figured out how to switch the house thermostat to Celsius and now I think of room temp in F, it's tragic) but then I would keep the house at 65 max year round if I could, so

Continuing to reread Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan books by audio and chortling in delight - godDAMN she's good I have long held Miles Vorkosigan to be the most lovable hero in SF but also the author's delight in language is **palpable** in the writing, she is downright frolicking in the words

UGH remembering today why I so rarely attempt to learn a physical skill, i.e. because whatever proprioception-related feedback loop actually results in me feeling what I'm doing wrong and adjusting it is BUSTED AND CLUELESS and as a result the effort makes me feel SO DUMB

Sooo I totally cheated on my no writing resolution this weekend 🫠 and thereby got to 34K! BUT I did other stuff TOO Made solid inroads on the heinous non-potatoes in the back garden for example!! It will continue to be pleasantly cool out this week, SO I will fix their wagon yet 💪💪💪

Things I have done so far today instead of writing, because I told myself I was NOT WRITING THROUGH THE WEEKEND AGAIN: * laundry * botched some embroidery * poked at Content for IG, ugh * spent 2-3h in the garden filling 5 yard waste bags with heinous non-potato vines and other plantae non gratae

I'd love to see @metuiteme.bsky.social's gorgeous and evocative YA horror getting more attention, particularly The Ones Who Come Back Hungry. The golden child meets vampirism in this devastating story of loss, grief, and family dynamics that keep doing harm long past death.

Why in god's name am I reading headlines involving chemtrails in THIS THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2026, that is a 25 YEAR OLD MEME, HOW IS IT STILL WALKING THE INTERNETS I remember reading about this conspiracy theory in 2001 and it was absurd on its face then for the SAME DAMN REASONS

Result of spending the weekend writing is that at midweek my brain is tired and the house is a disaster WHEN will I LEARN so I should spend today tackling the house instead of writing, I am well ahead anyway but I don't WANNA
