IRL Update
As of a few minutes ago when I just submitted a payment via the USPS website, I managed to pay three of my four bills that were due. The hotel has been renewed for another week, my storage unit has been renewed for another month, and my P.O. box has been renewed for another six months. I didn't have enough to cover the phone bill, but I made an arrangement to pay it once I get paid on Thursday for a small late fee (less than $10), so I'll take it.
I'm about $20 shy of covering a few more smaller bills that are due come July 1, and I could really use another $20 to cover washing/drying a couple of loads of laundry if at all possible, but I have a few more days to work on that so I'm hopeful I can come up with it by then. If not, well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I'm very, very thankful for the help that I got in covering the larger bills. I was very much panicking for a bit there. 💕

In which our heroine travels from 2002 to 1490 by bus, feet, and time machine
It's June and therefore, like unto a salmon swimming wearily upstream to spawn, I must find a cafe according to flaneurs challenge III.(c). This year I was hoping for 100% less fail! :D
My destination which, unlike in 2023, I had checked was actually open (lmao) was the National Trust "Old Oak" cafe in Greyfriars which is a preserved Tudor £££ brewer's £££ house £££, built 1490, in the middle of Worcester. My starting point was the Royal Voluntary Service hospital shop, built 2002, at Worcester hospital. To the time machine!
First, catch a bus... with a rly big net? Or a public transport network. Hypothetically there are several buses passing (busses kissing?) this stop but in practice the 38 is much more frequent than its rivals. The bus route passed many points I've described in previous June challenges. We also stopped for a funeral procession of a black hearse, complete with coffin and lovely bright yellow flowers, led by a woman funeral director in a formal black skirt and frock coat with a low-crowned top hat and carrying a silver-topped cane.
( Stuff what I saw (with links to some amazing art) )
Greyfriars: it's not grey and there were never any friars, but it was interesting to visit.

I have been playing hide-and-seek with the rooks in the sea fog up on St Alhelm's Head.

How is it that we literally are talking on the internet, we have access to all the information, and people are still saying whatever bullshit they made up in their heads instead of taking a minute, a second even, to ask themselves "Wait! Is this even true?"
On a happier note, the newest episode of The Strange Case of the Starship Iris answered a question I thought we'd never get answered, which is "How on earth did Brian get a price on his head from three different mafias?" and - wow, beware the quiet ones, I guess.

Interview with DeWanda Wise
For Murderbot Day, a great interview with DeWanda Wise, about playing NavigationBot in The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon:
https://www.nexuspointnews.com/post/interview-dewanda-wise
I had worked with Paul on Fatherhood. He literally texted me and was like, "do you want to play a murderous robot?"
