And mage and sailor are not so far apart; both work with the powers of sky and sea, and bend great winds to the uses of their hands, bringing near what was remote.

I didn’t really understand why I was so completely exhausted this weekend, but having checked my phone’s Health app it appears I went from climbing, on average, one flight of stairs a day over the past month or so, to, uh, twenty flights a day in the last week

old woman at the bus stop with an accent I can’t identify was just musing to me (I think in reference to some police cars down the street) on the matter of women who stay with men who abuse them, or, in her terms, “why women with man, hate?” with a pantomime punching gesture. “I rather stay alone.”

yesterday was Day 4 of S’more and Cats’ Very Long Journey, but now that we are at the end of it the cats get to sit around in the new apartment being unsettled while I still have One Million Things to do to set up an apartment, residency in a new state, &c.

it’s Day 3 of S’more and Cats’ Very Long Journey. this morning the cats faced their fates (getting put into carriers and into the car) with something like resignation. I have assured them everyone admires their fortitude and character.

good morning; it is now Day 2 of S’more and Cats’ Very Long Journey and I am happy to report that, despite no inconsiderable effort, at no point during Night 1 did any cat manage to climb up into the hotel box spring to escape the terrors that await them (more driving)

two days from moving cross-country, which will require a four-day drive. every time I look at my cats, serenely unaware of what awaits them, I feel like an evil vizier on the cusp of betraying my liege

been reading a lot of Georgette Heyer lately, and so experiencing some whiplash between the sentiments “I’m so charmed, perhaps Heyer is the best to ever do it” and “these people should all be torn from their great houses, and their assets seized by the common laborers upon whose backs they tread”

I used the power of the One Ring. I recognize that it's evil, and I expect a lot of people to be mad at me for using it. Sorry! However, I plan to continue using it. Here's why: (1/62)

My garage has found a new solution to the problem of an appropriate gender-neutral salutation that works for all customers. It's 'Legend'. All communications start "Hello, you absolute legend." I mean, it's no less or more sincere than 'valued customer'.

It's simple: every game that has mechanics crunchier than I like was designed by and for unimaginative babies and any game where I have to interpret results more than I like was created by and for pretentious non-designers.

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

The Prairieland Sentences Are a National Emergency
A federal court has punished Texas ICE demonstrators with decades in prison. This is dark news not just for them but for anyone who may want to register political dissent.

having a friend who is 25-50% a hater is the absolute best. but if someone is like 75% a hater its the most depressing thing in the world (still not as bad as a friend who is less than 5% a hater)

the kestrel was back at the bird feeder again this morning, which I suppose indicates that the bird feeder is feeding it, too, after a fashion.

there was a literal kestrel at the bird feeder for a minute this morning??? like, it was on the railing by it, but then it hopped on to the feeder for second, as if to figure out what all the fuss was about. (all the fuss was, in fact, every other bird freaking out because *there was a kestrel*)

despite my intellectual disbelief in any form for divination, in my heart I have accidentally reinvented augury from first principles. this morning I saw orioles & goldfinches *&* a spider (I also believe spiders are my friends, this is a bird+spider-based system of augury). the omens are good today
