Today I learned about coal mines. It was very interesting and, of course, depressing.
Entryway into the mine, from the perspective of being in a modified coal cartThey had some fun putting fake rats and rat skeletons around. Here is a funny rat skeleton next to a cart of coal and a thermometer on the wall.Coal elevators that make it clear they did not care about human life at all!Picture looking along cart railway deeper into the mine

Flyers and LA Kings the only teams with no wins yet so far this season. We might as well just not win any game the whole year, LFG!! Get all them draft picks.

Nature is healing, no notes.

Just a Philly girl enjoying some fall colors today.

A real lesson in how unlearning a habit is so much harder than learning one. When I was but a wee babe, you couldn’t throw out alkaline batteries because there was too much mercury in them.

DJ Slashly @slashlyashley.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
TIL that since 1996, you can throw alkaline batteries in the regular trash, and studies have shown that that’s less environmentally harmful than trying to recycle them?? Good things I’ve been hording dead batteries like a dummy for a decade. ehs.princeton.edu/environmenta...

The only way to put a dent in climate change or stop the increasing detriment of football and other ill culture is to buy and be less. I don’t quite know how to do this yet but I sure am trying to figure it out.

Today’s book companion to watching football is Cobalt Red. Because typing and reading on my smartphone right now, while writing a novel on a computer, while watching a television, powered by solar panels, that aren’t even doing anything rn because it’s raining heavily, sure is my American life.

Me: how come you sound better than me even though you have a cold now too? Husband: because I spent all yesterday resting. You refuse to rest. Me: so, I should watch 14 hours of football today? Husband: that’s disgusting Me: but it’s what you want me to do, right??

Also I’m still awake plotting a vacation I’m taking next week, being like “we could do x, then y, then z, and maybe a if we’re feeling ambitious, on Tuesday. And then this hike Wednesday…” Girl. Go to bed. Shut up. Do one thing a day. Then eat nice food and bum around. Yeesh!

Legit practiced DJing today and I’m starting to get excited for this Halloween party. I can do this! If I panic, I can just throw on another spooky song when one song ends and hit play at the right time! That’s DJing 😌

Me: can I die now? Husband: no, you have a mild cold Me: yeah, just kidding, this isn’t even top 10 hurts I’ve had. Norovirus was worse. Husband: what was worse, norovirus or brain surgeries? Me: HMMMM, they are different hurts. But okay the one where I couldn’t feel half my tongue was worse.

Up late doing the absolutely unsexy part of DJing (fixing beat grids, adding cue points). Realizing, since I feel hot and not my usual “I stayed up too late” chill, perhaps I have a fever. To bed I finally go!

Me: *sore throat, starting to hack* Small nice part of me: you could take a medicine Me: you know I ain’t gonna take no MEDICINE you’re funny Kicking the conservatism out of me is maybe impossible at this point.

Also I’m literally reading A Condition Called Love in the lines. A physical copy. While my husband and our friend talk about a role playing game they want to do.

At an amusement park today. One I’ve gone to several times in my life. But here’s a convo I had: Me: was the last time we were here before or after brain surgery? Husband: before Me: oh then I was a different person, I don’t know that person, I’m scared

I know that nobody in the world likes me because my husband and his friend were playing a video game in the living room while I read A Condition Called Love in the sunroom, and I sneezed, and neither of them blessed me. I am cursed and unloved.

I think when I do the customer service portion of my job now, people think I’m an AI. (It’s all through email platform, not face to face.) Which is very funny because if I was an AI, I don’t think I would only respond within reasonable EST hours and take at least 10 minutes to reply. 🤷‍♀️

I buy all my songs even though this costs a small fortune because I can’t be trusting no streaming services. Streaming services are good for things you maybe wanna watch or read once. Anything you love, you gotta get your own copy of it.

It will not stop raining and my house can’t handle this. Starting to get water in the basement and water is coming in the flue of one of the chimneys. I’ve also had to go out multiple times this weekend in it so I’m over this nor’easter.

This has actually become like the biggest pet peeve of mine. When I haven’t heard of a piece of media or whatever it is, I assume I’m ignorant and look it up. When other people say they’ve never heard of something, they usually say it to me in a tone of, “therefore, it is irrelevant to the universe”
100
DJ Slashly @slashlyashley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The only time I hate the “I’ve never heard of this” attitude is when it’s used to dismiss the thing they’ve never heard of as irrelevant. Working as a curator particularly in books, would have my placements questioned a lot because “I’ve never heard of it.” Sorry you can’t assume you’re ignorant?
