Last week, my narration of The Body was released, just in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stand By Me. Today, we got a lovely mention and review in Kirkus, and I'm just so proud of what we did. This project is deeply personal and special to me, and I love that it's getting noticed.

I've set myself a loose target of a minimum of 100km running a month. For reasons I greatly fell out of it for last 18 months. Look at the comparison.

This sign raises many questions, which probably should be answered by the sign but aren't

Kat burglar was right there.

I am looking forward to Eastercon but on a personal level I'm mixed about for a variety of reasons.

I've been slowly building up a consistent morning resistance training routine for the last ~2 months. (Partly inspired by @roscaf.bsky.social ) This has long been a missing piece for me.
