Isn’t that the second set? (No worries, the UNL app says they just won the match 2-0! 🤣)

I’m on a train so I’ve been catching up as I can—this made me laugh out loud, not gonna lie.

Today in #museumlife I’m a day away from a bucket list trip & wrestling with something re:grant writing & AI that I can’t outline here. Let me just say: if anyone burns it all down—all the LLMs, data centers, environmental destruction & theft—while I’m gone? I’ll be a lot more likely to come back.

Well that was weird. (I totally understand the science behind the condensation on the court. What I don't understand is why no one who staged this thing had a plan to deal with it. Oh, excuse me, I mean a *plan that had a chance of working in this particular environment*.)

"Volleyball continues to push the boundaries of what's possible..." Emily Ehman says as Wrigley fills w/fans wearing red. Nebraska doesn't play til the 2nd match but we all know which fans are filling those stands. & Nebraska's outdoor match 3 yrs ago is the reason this 1 is happening. #92003

It’s been so humid here that it feels like the moisture is just suspending the pollen in the air.

MK Pleiss @mkpleiss.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Ugh, no!!! Rest is the thing I’ve heard, and of course that’s probably the hardest to let yourself do, so tell your support system you need help enforcing it. **hugs**

MK Pleiss @mkpleiss.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

It is terribly hot and humid here today, and my the usual dull ache in my knees turned sharp this afternoon. I'm hoping that means storms will come along and break the stalemate, but the forecast doesn't look much like fall yet.

During the college women's volleyball season-opening tournaments this weekend (very big deals, held in Vegas and the Cowboy's football stadium, lots of young girls and women in attendance, and presumably watching on tv) there were ads for GLP1s--both on the broadcast and in the venues.

Strangely I appear to be the only one on my block doing this particular flair of sporty watch party!

MK Pleiss @mkpleiss.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Since moving to Wisconsin I’ve learned of the tradition of having sporty watch parties in the garage/driveway in all kinds of weather, so tonight I’m embracing that and listening to #HuskerVolleyball start their season while I sit out in my driveway and watch the lunar eclipse.

I have been thinking ever since people started talking about this show and Kyle Chandler that the parallel isn’t Eric Taylor, it’s Gary Hobson. The reluctant hero upon whom we imprinted. 🤣

My favorite was the time the driver save themselves a few steps to the front step and instead placed the very low-profile box in front of my garage door, so that when I came home I didn’t see it and rove right over it, splattering cleaning paste all over my car and driveway.

I don’t know if that’s funny but oof, I hope it gets better soon.

I get the same way, and I’m a few hours north of you. I’ve felt like I’m absolutely slogging through the past few days.

*sigh* yes the election for WI gov will be close & frankly desperate. I’ll vote for you in Nov. But ffs the primary was called 16 HOURS AGO and you’ve already texted me 3X—2X in the last 15 min. All it’s doing is stressing me out & confirming that I was right to vote against you in the primary.

Nephew Junebug is here. Construction of the big set is in process.

A Lego set depicting Mulder’s office from The X-Files is in progress, including the “I want to believe” poster.

Now I need my nephew to make me some Lego aliens for the exam/autopsy.

A completed Lego set depicting Dana Scully in her lab. There is an autopsy table, a large standing lamp, a microscope for examining some kind of bacteria in a Petrie dish, and a sink with shelving holding bottles, a bowl, and, for some reason, a donut.

Spending Friday night like it’s 1993–building Scully’s lab. And while my Lego expert nephew will laugh at me for sorting pieces by color and shape, I have to. It’s what Dana Scully would do!

That's so cool! The way this show never really left fannish consciousness (I swear I hear or read a reference to it once a month, and I always think of you ;) really speaks to how many people imprinted on it.

Also the first time I saw it live Junebug &I were trying so hard not to laugh at the end because a woman behind us yelled, “No that CAN’T be the end!!” Oh, honey.

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

Oh, Lego is releasing an X-Files set? That's okay, I've been out of the fandom for literal decades now, I mean the only thing that would make me spend that kind of money is if Gillian Anders--OH MY GOD I NEED THIS SET.

Wow, our field trip for tomorrow, which was going to be 90 minutes outdoors, cancelled because of the air quality issues. I think it's the right call, but I'm kind of surprised they actually made it. Stay safe out there, everyone.

MK Pleiss @mkpleiss.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Here today (in Oshkosh) it’s been hovering between 280-320. And we’re supposed to have a field trip that involves a 15 minute walk in the gardens. Tomorrow’s is more like 90 minutes so I’m hoping it improves by then.

101

MK Pleiss @mkpleiss.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

It’s the same here and the only time I’ve seen it higher was the morning of July 5 in Omaha (fireworks+Colorado fires+no wind), when it went up to 700+. It’s unbearable. Stay as safe as you can.

MK Pleiss @mkpleiss.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Oh that sounds awful and I’m sure the heat (because it seems Ike everywhere in the northern hemisphere is stupid hot this week) didn’t help at all. Glad you made it through and got some rest!
