It's gonna be one long, long, long day. Also hot. Long, hot, hard - and miserable.
Happy Mayoral Primaries, I guess? At least the poll site is airconditioned. (At least... I assume it is? Oh god what if it isn't.)
Oh, and I nearly forgot - the Arab/Israeli dove and rose mural has been painted over. Saw that on my way to CVS today.

Keeping MediaWiki secure, not overrun by spammers, and not regularly falling over has gotten to be too much of a burden and the antispam steps we've had to take have made it difficult for people to log in and use it for quite some time, so we have officially thrown in the towel and outsourced the problem. Everything that was found on the wiki can now be found in its new location:

Above me, the branches toss toward and away from each other
the way privacy does with what ends up
showing, despite ourselves, of
who we are, inside.
Then they’re branches again—hickory, I think.
—It’s not too late, then.

conuly Jun. 26th, 2025 02:10 pm)Can't wait to hear the exaggerated anger at how dare they retaliate....
(spiralsheep Jun. 23rd, 2025 04:23 pm)
spiralsheep Jun. 23rd, 2025 04:23 pm)I feel as if I haven't been inflicting enough questionable moments from history on y'all recently so... to the art mobile!
One of my favourite aspects of art is that even if one broadly shares many cultural influences with an artist it remains possible to be completely mystified by wth they were thinking when they painted THAT... ?! Anyway, meet Dosso (nickname for Giovanni di Niccolò de Luteri) whose patrons, male and female, liked him to paint cryptic allegories, i.e. even if you know the stories that inspired them you won't necessarily be able to decipher the message... if there is a message and the artist wasn't just messing with viewers... or drunk... or whatevz. All links to wikimedia, obv.
An allegory of Fortune, 1530-ish, in which a naked woman with only one sandal blows a giant bubble and a gravity defying gold cloth out of her... self, apparently, while staring at a handful of scratch-cards being waved by a man with slightly more dignified drapery.
An allegory of Music, 1522-ish, in which a partially naked woman (two sandals tho) stares at another naked woman's breasts, while a guy with the worst mankini in recorded history is distracted from retuning stringed instruments WITH A HAMMER by an angry arsonist toddler.
1535-ish, Hercules playing with a desk toy while a woman with her naked breasts in a fruit bowl stares at a goat... or possibly the head of the woman next to her who is sporting a marginally more fancy hat. IDK. Post your own explanation in comments plz. P.S. Beware of the baby magpie cos its got a knife... and some... I want to guess cheese? Cute dog tho.
( Don't go yet... I have four more.... )
Seven seems like enough bogglement for one day, or one bogglement for every day of the next week and then if you're good I might share a few portraits from my collection of unlikely nuns.

Turns out my bff Elly whomst I watch mystery shows with (previously on x-men) has never seen Due South! This show is responsible for me enjoying mystery shows today, along with Warrick Brown of CSI.
Immediately I had a viewing plan in mind!
While I do enjoy seasons 1-2, Paul Haggis and his sex pest ways made anything involving women pretty rough, so immediately I decided all we'd watch of that was Pilot, 1st episode with the ghost of Fraser's father, and the flashback episode. Then we'd skip to the much more palatable (although shorter seasoned because it became a Canadian show starting then) s3-4 with New Ray.
DID YOU KNOW - that Due South has been on several streaming platforms so far and keeps changing them? It took me a while to finally find its current home on D+. I started with Netflix, Tubi, and Amazon before tracking it down.
It was not on the Canadian streaming service, Crave, afaik.
We also watched Kpop Demon Hunters (hope this doesn't awaken something in me) that was a real jam, Death Valley (delightful mystery show set in Wales all the Welsh accents I could want), and 2x Death In Paradise where I finally got on board with the Camille/Richard ship on the last episode before the final episode of season 2 and anyone who is familiar with the show to a certain degree probably just got a dark laugh.
My dad watches Death in Paradise and it's driven even him mad how the show's main plot is 'white british man comes and is the only person who can solve the mysteries of this colonized island, unlike the local black cops' which is kind of damning! However it's also very funny and Elly loves it, so here we are.
We picked up some new ones we might watch tonight too while I was trying to find some stuff - Dept Q (cold case show) and The Indian Detective (Canadian? show about a Canadian cop who goes to Mumbai to get involved in Mystery with his father) - just anticipating being done with Queens of Mystery and Death Valley soon because british seasons are a butterfly's sneeze in length.
Uh, what else. Got accepted into a Zinefest, have a lot of zines ready, why does it cost so much to print stuff oh my god why can't our home printer print double sided aaaaa. At least I'm 90% sure I won't make a ton of sales so I don't have to worry about being overstocked. I've got zines, I've got some stickers, and I'm gonna try to offload some of my ceramic animals unless Kevin the studio guy catches me and decides even though he's lectured me about how much I should charge for them before (he says 100, I say 10) he's going to actually enforce the no making things to sell rule (context: someone used the studio once as a factory for christmas ornaments and took up all the resources) - this is based less on actual fear of the rule because I know it's definitely not actually aimed at my use* and more on the fact Kevin is a chaos demon and I can never predict what he'll do for fun.
*I've asked a few times before and the studio guys go into a big oh I shouldn't worry because my stuff takes up so little room in the kiln that I probably use the least amount of any other user. My stuff is generally thumb size or smaller and in small batches.

Now, I've already told you about the alleys (no alleys in Manhattan) and right on red (none of that either), and now it's time for - garbage.
Since the 1990s it's been the law that residential garbage in NYC has to have the recyclables sorted out. And since this year we also have to separate out the compost, though weirdly they only pick that up once a week, I've complained about this. It's completely backwards.
Anyway, as I said, it's been the law since the 90s that you can't put your cans and bottles in with your regular trash. Do people always follow that law? Oh, heck no. But if you don't and the city catches you at it they'll give you a $300 ticket, and if you don't pay they put a lien on the house. So even if you don't care, your landlord might, and if they care and perhaps only have one tenant at that location you can bet they won't just eat the cost.
And if your protagonist is even minimally conscientious she'll at least glance around for a recycle bin before tossing her water bottle in with the regular trash.
(As a reference here, our terrible neighbors, who have had sanitation and once the fire department called on them multiple times due to the trash they pile up in their yard, still separate out the bottles and cans from the regular trash. Though in their case they may somewhat optimistically believe they'll get around to redeeming them one of these days, honestly, who knows how they think.)
This rant is courtesy of Elsbeth, which Jenn has been watching. Sure, Elsbeth is a snoop and the best way to dispose of several bushels worth of murderous apple pulp was probably to flush it, but all the same - it's weird that such a generally responsible character goes straightaway to throw out her water bottle in the general trash in somebody's house without at least checking that there's no recycle bin.

For the record, it's definitely possible to get a sunburn in less than ten minutes. As the top of my buzzed head can confirm.
I walked to a nearby shopping center yesterday to run some errands, which is something like a 7-8 minute walk away, and I didn't think anything of it despite it being miserably hot because of the humidity. At least, not until last night, when I realized that I had a noticeable sunburn on my head from that walk.
Oops?

Picture taken from our dining room window a little while ago. We had a line of strong storms come through. This was the biggest oak tree in the back yard, easily 3 or 4 feet across. It demolished a couple of substantial pines too as well as a big section of fence. But no damage to house, people, or domesticated animals. That was the tree where I once saw a flying squirrel, the only time I've ever seen one. The deck and house are gonna be getting a lot more sun. The tree fell directly away from the house, hence: lucky! But I know of at least one house in the neighborhood that suffered a hole in the roof.

- Reading: 72 books to 19 June 2025. Finished 70 + 2 in progress.
Quote: "Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes! Didn't they use anything else in Ancient Greece?"
66. Bland generic novel with fish knives joke.
67. Intermittently mildly amusing novel, with a clunky attempted fish forks joke, admiring references to the father's fascism ("senatorial" gold "Roman" armbands = fascist brassards), and a whole shoal of red salted codfish.
68. Casual authorial antisemitism (not as characterisation or a plot point). :-(
69. Aurora Australis, by members of the Nimrod Expedition to Antarctica, 1908, anthology, 3.5/5
Variable quality but worth reading the whole to give context for the best. Readalong ongoing:
https://spiralsheep.dreamwidth.org/662515.html
70. Book published in the 1920s, read for a reading challenge. Not a great choice for me, apart from the fact it's short, but I've read most of the usual suspects from that decade. I probably should've asked for recs of less well-known books, or re-read something I already know I like.
71. When the Earth was Green, by Riley Black, 2025, non-fiction popular palaeontology, ?/5
Numerical typos are very fashionable in 2025, example the first: "425 million years ago [...] during human history more than 440 million years after our beachside scene" [so 15 million years in the future... yeah, no. Also humans gonna be extinct by then, bb ;-P ].
72. Inventing the Renaissance, by Ada Palmer, 2025, non-fiction history historiography, ?/5
Numerical typos are very fashionable in 2025, example the second: "Jacob Burckhardt (1818-1987)" [No, but needs more fanfic, lol]. Palmer does produce the bestest quotes though, and if you're not prepared for 650 pages of historiography then there are shorter fun posts on her blog, or just read this:
"Lorenzo de Medici had Marsilio Ficino, the first true Platonist in Europe since antiquity, but he also had the first giraffe in Europe since antiquity (a gift from the Sultan of Egypt), and both of them wandered the streets of Florence making people smile and advertising Medici wealth and power (though only the giraffe used to stick its head through people's second-floor windows to get snacks; the Platonist came inside). Which of these two living novelties did Lorenzo value more?" [I mean, joking aside, Ficino because his works could be left to and benefit Medici heirs....]

Happy birthday to my oldest and dearest friend, the famous S.!
Whose birthday is it? Anyone who doesn't celebrate, here comes the train of PAIN!! :D
It's definitely better that you make your own cake versus me making it...(left cake, or "other people", = your attempt, right cake = my attempt :D :D :D)
And of course these:
I'm not sure which fandoms if any you've been reading but...
And thank you for being with me on my most important-for-me writing journey and thank you for entering my crazy brain/world with me! It would never be the same without you being along for the journey and there to bounce ideas off and putting in input and caring so deeply about it <3 <3 <3
All my love, hope today and the coming year is GRAND. Love, me
