That continues to be a fabulous dress, and you are rocking it.

I am never not thinking about EAT THE CARP.

“Great Man” theories of history may have been wrong but “That F*ing Guy” theory looks increasingly plausible.

WH is a family saga about generational abuse and the moral injury of colonialism. (And toxic obsession.) R&J is about the breakdown of authority and young people trying to behave rightly without adult examples or support. (And stupid teenagers.) And they are also love stories!

Are people not aware that "love stories" can be about things?

I'm an editor. Cleaning up after people who think their process works was already my job pre-AI.

(I think I may just have to give up on pants.)

Hey! I have two pairs of unreturnable pants: boot cut jeans from Snag, size G1, and chinos from ABLE, 18W. They are both well made but cut for someone with much more hip and booty than me. I paid $100 total and would love to resell them together to someone in the US for that OBO, plus any shipping.

Oh, WHAT a cutey! S. says to say hello to him.

Kitty! What is he like, besides small and scared?

I have lots of recommendations for Paris and would be happy to share if you want them! Things to do, see, and eat and a very good hotel.

Ughh. We *have* funding, but OPM doesn't, so we didn't know if we were coming in or teleworking until my supervisor got in at ass o'clock and found out she could have teleworked.

Oof, I'm sorry you were treated that way. No disrespect meant to your colleagues--it sounds like they were put in an impossible position.

Oh! The point at which the writing took a nosedive and I stopped playing :D

Happy anniversary!

every. fucking. day.

COW TOOLS?!

I'm listening.

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me.

All good choices! We had a big pot of scarlet runner beans from Rancho Gordo at Thanksgiving, and they were spectacular. And I pretty much lived on Puy lentil salads this summer.

IDK TNY maybe I'll reënter your MOM

I am roasting vegetables (acorn squash, beets, turnips, carrots, brussels sprouts), cooking a pot of scarlet runner beans with little orange sweet peppers, and macerating the apples and thawing the rhubarb for pie. I'll make the wild rice pilaf tomorrow while the ham is warming through.
