iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I feel like I am almost speed-running through the #cdrama #AgainstTheCurrent but it really doesn't give you too many breaths after one resolution before the next challenge appears. All I can say about episode 25 is... holy shit, Lin Jin Qi!

I had to go and rewatch all of #StartUp again (it has been a few years!) And I am no longer on team "Good Boy". Dang, Nam Joo Hyuk really got a great role with so much range. It is all I can do to not rewatch 2521 now. 😁

I ran an acorn foraging workshop today for a colleague’s food history class! Knowing some students would inevitably come face to face with their first acorn weevil while cracking nuts, I made a few little pins as prizes for weevil-finding 🐛

Four round black pins with smiling weevil larva painted on them, and gold lettering saying “fear no weevil”

THIS IS YOUR MONDAY KYUNGSOO @mondaykyungsoo.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL OF YOU WHO CELEBRATE!! WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY IN AUTUMN IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, BUT IT‘S STILL THAT STRANGE TRANSITION TIME WHEN YOU DON‘T KNOW HOW YOU SHOULD DRESS. ME, I JUST HAVE 5 OUTFITS READY FOR EACH DAY, SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM. TAKE CARE EVERYBODY!

A cartoony drawing of Kyungsoo: he’s standing by an open oven, in a kitchen, wearing an apron, a brown cardigan and a pair of blue jeans, looking nonplussed. He’s holding a hot oven tray full of cookies with some red oven mitts; a cookie is half-eaten right in the middle. On the floor, a trail of crumbs is leading to a penguin who’s tentatively hiding behind a wall. There’s still a used mixing bowl on the counter, an open paper bag, and a pan on the burner.

Use a vid, GIF, or pic to describe your mood today! Was supposed to be on a work trip. But a wardrobe malfunction, pet pee on the carpet, fog, and a driver trying to quick get a left turn in front of me on a yellow light all meant I am home this morning. Thankful for crumple zones and airbags.

I did this. On purpose. Ok so I’ve never worked with stained glass before and had to watch a ton of tutorials on how to solder, but I think it’s pretty good for a first try, and I may suddenly have a new crafting obsession. Plus it matches my tattoo 😂

Ok, how many cdramas include *this* plot?

Social media thread.
Natalieironside: "top 10 pranks that went too far" compilation where #1 is Liu Bang founding yhe Han Dynasty

Steve-the-evets: hold on I gotta Google something. Okay that's funny

Natalieironside: people are asking what this means, so: Liu Bang was a provincial constable (basically a sheriff) in Classical China who one day was transporting some prisoners who escaped. The penalty for allowing prisoners to escape was death, so my man looked at his prospects and said, "well, in for a penny, in for a pound" and decided to go join up with the dudes who'd been his prisoners 5 minutes ago. This kicked off a chain of events that led to him becoming a bandit chief and eventually a rebel general and ended with him overthrowing the Qin dynasty and becoming Emperor Gaozu of Han. And you think you had a weird day at work.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass. It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots. This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

Tailgating IS quite possibly the scariest thing I've seen here too and I hate the fact that it's so established it has a name. But also, I'm not a car person OR a barbecue person, so to each their own really. #unitedstates #cultureshock

A comic depicting a character wearing a hoodie with an allover print of the United States flag, and a character wearing a hoodie with an allover print of the French flag.
The U.S. character is asking the French character: "So, after a year and a half here, what would you say gave you the biggest culture shock?" The French character thinks, replying: "Hmm... If I had to pick..."
Her face suddenly grows somber and scared, and she adds with a jittery voice: "That one time we went to see a baseball game and there were those people in the parking lot who's somehow brought all of their outdoor furniture in their giant S.U.V. and were just barbecuing. Right. There."
The U.S. character laughs and muses: "So, tailgating broke the French person..."
