Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isnāt for them because they arenāt out. You matter, you are valid, and itās ok if you arenāt ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride š

Had a great time talking with Renan about The Dragon Has Some Complaints, as well as the fraught concept of "monstrosity." Along the way, I couldn't help by gush about

It's a small grump in the grand scheme of things, but google is unreliable on a laughable scale now and every single other weather website I go to for forecasts now feels functionally unusable. Where do you get your (non-hallucinated) weather forecasts from, US-based internet friends?

If I'm giving my brain a rest and re-reading a favorite junior fiction series, do I count each book in my books read total, count the entire series as one book (~60 pages per book for 6 books) or just treat it as a bonus and note that I read them but not "count" them on my yearly reads list? š¤

Finished T. Kingfisher's Nine Goblins. Took me forever because pneumonia is a bastard that doesn't respect reading time, but I'm so glad I picked it up! So cute and funny, highly recommend reading this when your morale needs a boost.

Overheard at the library: Loud sirens suddenly go by. Little kid playing with the toys looks up. "Big sirens!" Kid's mom nods and says thoughtfully, "Yeah, there are probably a lot of people going to help with something." Little kid: "Sirens means hope." And goes back to playing.

In honor of being well enough to leave the house, I'm stepping up my masking game with a little bling. I made the chain myself, the bee and leaf charms were borrowed from a charm bracelet my sister made me!

This would be a great time for people to recommit to masking. There are so many good options that are all better than 'hope I don't get that!' Hope is great, but a kn95 is better.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

That there is a particular species of extant arthropod, of which most other species have been long extinct! The scientific name is Solanum trilobitum, usually known by its common name: the frylobite.

This book series is one of my favorites - I made sure to add it to my library branch's collection. I highly recommend all of Meg's works. If you haven't read them, this is a great opportunity to and a brilliant place to start. Many happy returns to Meg!

After two weeks laid out with a sinus infection/chest cold, being able to inhale and exhale comfortably feels like a minor miracle. I lay in bed just breathing with the biggest smile on my face this morning. Be kind to your lungs, folks.

I'm resting with my knitting and recovering from the second wave of a bad chest cold. Pattern is one recreated from the one I lost, when I went to buy a new copy I discovered the website had shut down. Excited to be recreating it to the best of my memory.

Also, whales used to have legs. Someone told us that, but we're not the whale agency so we'll never know for sure.
