Haven’t done a fixing-things thread for a *long* time. Tonight on the kitchen-counter-cum-workbench, my 1974 Leica CL. This is a very small little film camera. My example is extremely beat-up. But it runs. Job tonight is the light meter. The CL has a meter that expects to run at 1.35V
This movie is good but almost 4 hours long. Had to break it up into two evenings. Emma and Molly are into it.

Lots of layoffs in our communities, folks. Find ways to support unemployed & underemployed workers.
We have great newts to share! Twenty tiny Mazama newts have hatched in our lab — the very first babies of their kind ever in human care.
I really needed to read a book that would be a balm to my soul, and I suspected that Kate Elliott’s The Witch Roads would fit the bill. I’m only about 1/4 through it and 💕
I really hate that being incandescently angry makes me cry. I don’t know why and I don’t know how to change it. Anyway, raging and sobbing rn
said it before and i'll say it again: the number one writing hack is just to make friends. you can either spend an hour in an obscure & contentious reddit forum trying to figure out what a 2012 camaro sounds like or you can ask your buddy, the Car Guy
YES. Knowing a lot of folks who know a lot of different and weird things is great (and having friends in general is cool). And even when your friend doesn't know the answer to your specific question, they probably know someone who does ("Let's ask Camaro Bob, he's got, like, 12 Camaros")

The dewpoint got up to 81° at MSP this morning, yikes! This image is pulled from the National Weather Service Twin Cities office. Luckily, thankfully, a wind shift brings drier air in later today. #mnwx
I need to walk the dog before bed but I would really like for the heat index to be under three digits when I do
Just saw a t-shirt that was dry clean only, if you want to know how the apocalypse is going.
