(no subject)

Я вспомнила почему я в какой-то момент стала считать, что молекулярная генетика это моё! Это случилось после фильма "Он и она" ("Deux moi", 2019, Франция), который я посмотрела в 2020 году. Я примерно тогда как раз устроилась в лабораторию по микробиологии и делала анализы короны. Меня поразило сходство между мной и героиней фильма, я решила, что оно должно быть ещё больше :)

Вообще, подумала сейчас, что в лаборатории, в которой я работаю, просто шикарнейшие условия и работы, и социальные... У них три секретарши (!), своя уборщица, великолепные социальные условия... Просто работай и наслаждайся, а заодно приноси пользу людям. Если бы только не борьба за абстрактную власть и место в иерархии, если бы не желание опускать других из-за своих комплексов... Вот так люди сами превращают жизнь, которая могла бы быть раем, в настоящий ад. Вот так на пустом месте возникают войны, которые портят людям жизнь и здоровье. Мне их жаль.

Murderbot, no spoilers

Extremely good finale for Murderbot! I'm feeling pleasantly melancholic now the series has finished, but at least I get to watch it all again. Also, it's been renewed for a second season!

A Day In The Life.....

It always comes back to bite me in the ass...

I've had it with my fellow aides at work and decided to "work" just has hard as they do.
So last night I was told, by the two aides working the evening shift, the empty patient rooms were set up and ready.
Charge nurse told me we would be getting a patient at some point during the night, so I went to check on the room that it was going into.
BIG F'ING SURPRISE to room was not set and ready for a patient.
So I got it all ready for the admission.
In the process of quality checking the glucometers in all the rooms, I saw that the other empty rooms weren't ready for admits either.
I made the comment to a couple of nurses that wasn't going to fix any of the other empty rooms unless we were going to get admissions because I am tired of picking up after everybody else.
Flashforward to the end of the shift and manager comes up to me and tells me she wants to see me in her office after I punch out.
I go to her office and she proceeds to tell me, paraphrasing, how lousy of a employee I was.
She said nurses complained that I wasn't doing my job and being lazy about things. And tonight wasn't the first complaints she has gotten.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will put my work ethic up against any aide on our station.
But when I take a stand I am the one that gets in trouble for it.
I finally ended the "conversation" by telling her, I guess I will be a good little aide do my work, and in my head, I will do everybody else's work too.
If she wants a cold worker drone, I will give her a cold worker drone.
They are making really easy to say I F'ing Quit.
If I didn't need the healthcare coverage, I would be really tempted.

On another note, my car went into the shop this morning to be repaird.
They say it will be at least 10 days, which means at least two weeks because the shop is not opened on Sat or Sun.
They gave me a lift over to Enterprise Rental, the company State Farm uses.
Signed all the paper work and they gave me a Chevy Equinox.

behold! a zine fair!

So even though I've been selling zines for 25 fucking years now, there are two big zine things I have never done until now:
1) put out my own zine
2) organize a zine fair.

Amusingly, the second item is happening before the first one. I had thought about organizing a small bar-hosted zine fair for a while (Cut 'n Paste in Toronto used to be held at Sneaky Dees (a sizeable punk-ish bar with two floors), and the first zine fair I visited, Generous Margins, was held at the Sugar Refinery). I long have had a bar-owning friend who is open to the idea. Then last fall, Canada's largest fair, Canzine, was cancelled because the guy running it and Broken Pencil got cancelled for a second time in a few years, this time for being a rabid, lying, libelling, fabulating Zionist. So he decided to just destroy his two indie institutions. Then this spring I learned that SOMEONE ELSE had held a bar fair (which I missed by a day), so now I was like IT'S ON!! This summer I was talking to a new zine friend about it, and he told me that he and some other people were getting together to organize a new zine fair, to ostensibly replace Canzine. So I have joined this collective, we have held a few organizing meetings so far, and it looks like this thing is serious!!! I'm very excited. It's going to be on a smaller scale than Canzine (it had between 150 and 200 vendors, depending on the year/venue--we could probably cram 80 in our venue but others are a bit more conservative/chill/insecure about it, so we're looking at 56 to 70. It's going to be an application fair so we'll see how many people we decide to let in and possibly adjust the number of tables in consequence.

We were discussing whether to have sponsors or not (not soliciting them, but even just allowing them to ask for the privilege), and while I was in the "sure, we could do more things with more money" mindset, one of the collective members, incidentally the person who had organized that spring bar zine fair, was like "if they're not selling zines, even if they're an indie business, they're still a business trying to use our reputation to make more money". I'm not absolutist like that (I'm fine with indie book publishers/bookstores paying hundreds of dollars for a table if they feel like it), I dig this anarchist/zine purist take and I feel like we're in good company. (We're going to have a notice for potential sponsors to write to us to ask to sponsor, but it looks like we'll be picky. At most we'd probably have three sponsor tables anyway.)

Thursday Recs

Coming in a touch late this week to balance the scales from last time 😛

Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!

Or have you tried something that's been recced here? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!

blood donation

I Gave Blood

I gave blood this morning. Before the donation, my blood pressure was 103 over 63, my heart rate was 75, my temperature was 97.6 degrees, and my hemoglobin was 13.4. When I was done, the phlebotomist asked me if I had a special preference for the color of the adhesive fabric to be wrapped around my arm, and I said “Octarine.”

She said she didn’t have anything exotic, so I could have blue, red, or something else, and I settled for blue. I explained that octarine was the eighth color in the late Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, beginning with The Color of Magic, so I managed to get in a little book-pushing.

Heat Threat?

ChatGPT came up with a good blog post on intentionality as a spiritual practice. I might be able to start a blog before I retire in that case (if I come up with enough ideas). It also asked me if I wanted to create a workshop from it. Maybe I should consider creating workshops when I retire? It would be a fun way to make some money. I asked it to create a couple more blog posts.

I asked ChatGPT about WordPress themes for a blog and found two that I liked. We were working on colors when I ran out of ChatGPT time.

Fed the critters and took Bella and Gracie outside. Bella found a large stick and Gracie was trying to get it away from her. But Bella is stronger.

I looked at a site that analyzes your address for risks, and the highest risk at my place is heat. I should see if I have an air mattress in the basement in case the power goes out. Oh, but it has an electric pump! I need one that uses a battery-operated one. It would be good to have some water and a small litter box there as well. Is there a battery-operated fan? Anyway, I ordered a weather radio for my bedroom. I should have one.

I’m out of caffeinated soda. I need to submit a grocery order (done).

I ordered a bunch of emergency supplies, many of which were on Prime sale. I just need some jugs of water and we'll be ready. Hmm, I should get an extra can opener to stash in case I misplace mine. Though I got MREs to eat in case of a power failure. But I need one just in case the pull tabs on the cat and dog food come off. Hmm, I should stash some extra cat and dog food too.

I overslept, but Bella did her business quickly, so I still managed to take a shower. I need to pick up my plants at 5 PM today. Gracie no longer has diarrhea, so I need to call the vet and cancel her appointment.

I have a bunch of deadlines at work today, but they depend on other people. I've reminded people of the info that I need, and I need to tell myself that I'm doing everything that I can to meet the deadlines and calm down. But I'm stressy. One task down.

We got an extension on the deadlines. In a way, that’s good because we aren’t going to make them, but I’m afraid that the data that’s owed me will get pushed out. I want this done. In other exciting news, IT was working most of the afternoon on my work computer. Windows 11 is installing V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y. It finally installed.

Went and got my plants after the GPS on my phone led me astray. Returned a library book. Mailed my letters. The post office was still open, so I got a book of stamps because I don’t want to use all my mom’s elephant stamps because they’re so her. The postal clerk asked me if I wanted flags, and I said no because that would be a political statement right now. I got some dahlia stamps. A book of stamps is a lot smaller than it used to be, but I so seldom send letters that they should last for awhile.

Watered the garden while I was out with Bella and Gracie. Then the IT person with whom I'm working said to reboot my work computer, so I did that. Started laundry. I need to stay up until I can put it in the dryer.

You can't wait to hear about my busy day of tire rotation at Costco. Ha. If nothing else there were a lot of fun samples today, including a 75$ super greens drink they were parceling out like it was gold (tasted like someone scraped the lawn mower blades and put it in a ninja, made me glad I can't actually have greens) Sadly I didn't get anything fun.

I said I was done writing Overlord Husk week stories but walking back to Costco's bathroom Husk proved me wrong.

Book review: "The Tyrant Baru Cormorant"

Title: The Tyrant Baru Cormorant (The Masquerade series book #3)
Author: Seth Dickinson
Genre: Fantasy

Today I finished the latest book in the Baru Cormorant series (fourth book remains to-be-released), The Tyrant Baru Cormorant. Y'all, Baru is so back.

! Spoilers for books 1 & 2 below ! (Book 1 review) (Book 2 review)

If you've looked at other reviews for the series, you may have seen book 2, The Monster Baru Cormorant, referred to as the series' "sophomore slump." I disagree, but I understand where the feeling comes from. The Monster feels like a prelude, a setting of the board, for The Tyrant. The Monster puts all the pieces in place for the cascade of schemes and plays that come in The Tyrant. They almost feel like one book split into two (which is fair—taken together, they represent about a thousand pages and would make for one mammoth novel).

REC: Untitled Daisuke and Monty by Julia Stark (Cloudward Ho!, Daisuke Bucklesby/Monty LaMontgomery)

Fandom 50 #23

Untitled Daisuke and Monty by Julia Stark
Fandom: Dimension 20: Cloudward, Ho!
Relationship: Daisuke Bucklesby/Monty LaMontgomery
Medium: Art
Length: 1 piece
Rating: SFW
My Bookmark Tags: slice of life, happy ending, established relationship, then and now, clothing, nostalgia

Description:

Two full-colour images of Daisuke and Monty, one in the present and one in flashback to their younger days. The first is fully saturated and features the two walking close together with Monty in the lead. Daisuke's hat is tipped forward over his eyes as he looks down with a faint smile and puts away his flask. Monty is watching him over his shoulder, likewise smiling and seemingly mid-conversation with him. Above them, larger and more faded out, is a memory of them sitting together decades ago, Daisuke speaking while Monty watches him with soft-eyed attention.

( Very Minor Spoilers for Episode 6 )
This piece is just so sweet. The whole "getting the band back together" element of Cloudward, Ho! has been right up my alley, and I like that their separation was more about losing something that was holding them together rather than a big falling-out that created any ill will. It's made for a great story so far about some highly competent older characters reuniting warmly with old friends and working well together because of their shared history.

I love how the artist has captured this. The flashback looms large over the two men, creating a sense of those past conversations fuelling their present ease with each other and shared direction. It spot-on conveys Monty's wonderful attentiveness to people and suggests a lot in imagining the usually laconic Daisuke so engaged in talking to him. As someone who loves the aesthetics of this season, I'm also very much here for the details in their outfits and the little ways they've changed over the years.

Ducks in Dog Lane, Bewdley, 10th July 2025

160/365: Toy ducks, Bewdley
Click for a larger, sharper image
An even warmer day today (Thursday). My highest reading was 31 °C, which is the equal hottest day of the year for me. There's a strong chance that Friday will beat this mark. I needed to go down to Sainsbury's in town for a couple of things, so I made sure to do that well before nine. On the way I found these amusing toy ducks in Dog Lane, not far from Sainsbury's. The road name's etymology is not certain, but it may be a corruption of "Duck Lane", since the road runs down to the river and the town's ducking stool may have been situated there centuries ago. The residents of this house have given that possible earlier name a much cuter interpretation in their tiny front yard!

Grumble Grumble...here's some good news, and a flower?

Confusing day at work, and the muggy weather plus sleep issues is making me irritable? Also, people, sigh, can be annoyingly headache inducing, can't they?

Anyhow, grumble, grumble...I'm grateful for my mother (who continues to be lovely), Gregory's Coffee - it has great Matcha Lattes, and Decaf Cappucinos, and is no more than five minutes from my desk - plus I can pre-order, and get discounted deals. I'm also grateful for flowers. Trees. And New York City.

Plus? Very grateful for the lovely folks who provided the good news items below, and continue to do so - basically, I'm grateful for the American Resistance and it's Global Allies, thank the universe you exist.

Disclaimer: As always, good news like humor and beauty is more often than not in the eye of the beholder and your mileage may vary on this.

I only share them, because they give me hope and make me feel better - and I hope they do the same for anyone else who may stumble upon this journal entry. If I can bring a smile or a tear of hope to someone...today? Than I'll feel I accomplished my aim or at the very least attempted it. All I can do is try.

Good News from the American Resistance & It's Global Allies

1. More than 600 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees, scientists, and academics signed a declaration of dissent from the agency’s policies under the Trump administration, warning that they “undermine the EPA mission of protecting human health and the environment.”

2. I think this one is a repeat? But just in case, it's not, here we go again: The Miccosukee Tribe is partnering with the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation to safeguard lands as part of a ‘moral obligation.’

Now, as the Trump administration continues its wholesale slashing of federal funding from conservation projects, the Miccosukee Tribe is stepping up to fulfill what it sees as a “moral obligation” to return the favor.

The tribe is looking to buy and protect environmentally significant lands, including some that once provided refuge, in a groundbreaking partnership agreement with the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation. The corridor is an ambitious project to connect 18m acres (7.3m hectares) of state and privately owned wilderness into a contiguous, safe habitat for scores of imperilled and roaming species, including black bears, Key deer and Florida panthers.

Mushrooms

Today we cooked up the mixed carton of fancy mushrooms from the Champaign Farmer's Market. They included pink oysters, blue oysters, lion's mane, and some little brown things with long stems and caps the size of a thumbnail. We sauteed them in sunflower oil, seasoned them with garam masala, and added some chopped bacon.

The result tasted good, but not much better than our usual mix of mushrooms, and it was twice as expensive. The oysters were good, but don't taste notably different from the usual white to light brown ones. We did not care of the stringy texture of the lion's mane. Also, they cooked way fast and shrank way down, which left a small amount of stir-fry. They might have worked better in something like wild mushroom spaghetti sauce. So it was interesting to try, but not worth repeating.

Artificial Intelligence

This post has the funniest argument I have seen against AI: "A computer can never be spiteful or horny. Therefore a computer must never make art."

Now from an anthropological perspective, anything decorative rather than purely functional is "art" -- a contrasting color around the rim of a jug, for instance. From a cultural perspective, however, art is about emotion. It's how we express our human feelings about things we have seen or imagined as a way of communicating with other people. So by that definition, a computer cannot make art, even if it can mash around colors and images. An interesting point.

Long day but good day

Exeter was great. I saw an old friend C who I'd forgotten had moved there years ago! Lovely to see his new life: his partner and how cozily entangled their lives are, carving out queer space in a city that otherwise doesn't have much; his drag queen persona (I love trans men as drag queens so much); his new and very different career.

The meeting this morning that I was actually in Exeter for seemed to go as well as it could have.

I made good friends with my Guide Dogs counterpart for the day. He covers the southwest and we don't currently have a person to cover the southwest which is why I was there. But he lives so far from Exeter he had also traveled up last night -- we got Told that our meeting was at 10am, even that clearly wasn't ideal for either of us! -- staying in the same Premier Inn as me (it's perfect, you come out of the train station and it's right there ahead of you with a giant sign, most accessible hotel ever). We ran in to each other waiting to board the same bus to the Bad Bus Stops we were here to look at: him with his guide dog and me with my cane, both wondering if the other one was who we thought it was.

We made a good double act, backing each other up on our less well-received points. I'm sad he's so far away! But he's in the part of the southwest I'm more often visiting and I'm super tempted to invite him for a drink if I get the chance!

I had a long journey back, not as crowded or overheated as yesterday's until Birmingham, but with delays it was still two hours after that before I got home.

I stumbled in, drank a lot of ice water, had a shower, ate some dinner (lovely angelofthenorth had made mushroom risotto!), drank some more water, and now I'm lying in front of a fan.

I'm glad to be back home, where there are fans and ice. I bought an iced coffee this morning and there was no ice in it. It wasn't even cold! It was, like, I forgot about this cup of coffee cold, not iced-coffee cold. Ugh. I drank it anyway, but I pined for ice all day. It was 84°F in Exeter, and the first half of our meeting did involve walking up and down a road to look at its terrible bus stops (they really were terrible too -- really did have to be seen to be believed).

I've agreed to go camping this weekend, so I'm enjoying the ice and fans while I can!

At least for camping I won't have to wear my work clothes! I wore a proper shirt for the meeting this morning but immediately afterward took it off of course. I considered jettisoning the binder as well, but the t-shirt I had grabbed to change in to is a tank top and I didn't like that. The binder, my new white one, was extremely visible under the black tank top as it has a higher neckline and wider straps, but I decided that I did not care at all. It was much more comfy and it just looked like I'd layered two different tank tops. The train staff who provided my assistance and checked my tickets didn't misgender me or act weird about it or anything.

Simple Life and more Life soon

New Life series already!! First episode confirmed to come out tomorrow 5pm BST. Which is right when L and I are checking out a free beginner's swordfighting class, but I'm pretty sure that'll be cool enough to be a good distraction xD

I realized I never posted about this year's April Fool's special episode, Simple Life. It was a lot of fun. Superflat was a good concept to play around with for a one-off. I watched Cleo and Scar and half of Grian's, and then I planned to watch a few more but didn't get around to it and forgot to post about it.
