I'm northern - gaming, knitting and everyday stuff with cats and being an IT librarian. I'm fannish, but haven't written anything in years. I read SFF books.
Hahahahahaha I wanted to type something here but I'm laughing too hard "could you still get through an entire workday" what the fuck, man, you just sharpied "I am incompetent" on your forehead.

I didn’t nap until 5 pm yesterday because work. Woke up with a headache that sort of persisted through the evening and night. If I nap earlier I never have that problem! But - work.
At work I’ve discovered that free jigsaw puzzle site where people submit their own pictures. Some people are very very into Pyra and Mythra looking ten times as large as their original characters. (Xenoblade Chronicles 2.)
The autumn soaps where I buy soap are here. Getting one ”Chailatte” and one ”Kofta” (Cardigan).
Grit time. There are no in person classes available yet, so VR for lunch!
Very sleepy, but working from home. Meeting at 9:30. Hopefully I’m more awake then.
That dream where I have a second apartment in another part of the town persists. This time I was planning on selling them both and getting a much larger place.
First sleeve is coming along. (There will be a knitted on collar, yes.) 🧶
Ich am the greateste author yn the worlde. So art thou.

Cats, you have three litter boxes... Why is just one of them your favorite?
Bringing a few green tomatoes inside to see if I can get them to ripen faster than on the vine. I have loads of green ones!
Clothes coming in a few days. Open picture to see more than one.

Ursäkta en lång tråd, men jag tycker det är intressant att se vad som händer när tidöregeringens fördomar möter verkligheten. Det finns ett intressant mönster i regeringens uppdrag till expertmyndigheter om invandrings effekter: SCB fick i uppgift att börja mäta "självförsörjning".
Yay, the virtual gym (large screen where they run different sets) is on again at the gym! I’ll do their Bodypump in 20 minutes.
Extra hot flash-y evening since it's hot and feeling hot triggers even more of it. Had a nice lukewarm shower though and looking forward to bed.
So, this is cute. Maybe Matt here hasn’t responded since I sent the link and told it (if bot) that I’m going to reverse search the number. responsiblestatecraft.org/parscale-pro...
Basquiat seyde that "art ys how we decorate space, and musique ys how we decorate tyme." It doth followe that poetrye ys how we decorate thoughte and sense, and narratyve ys how we decorate memorye. And all are middel fingeres agaynste death. Make art, or else.
Aww, for Zevran who has a fairly thin coat, the Equigroomer is TOO effective. He adores it, but after brushing and brushing there is a noticeable patch with too little fur on his back. So no, I'm so sorry Zevran, no more of that for you.
Working from home today and enjoying being able to do chores in parallel with that. Second load of laundry is started and I’m planning to go donate clothes that are too small later.
"The fact that AI can, kinda, sorta, mimic human writing has yet to produce a single riveting work, much less unleashed an entire wave of new and compelling fiction. What it has done is diminish the magic and excitement of human writing." Yes, this. samkahn.substack.com/p/can-art-ex...

Every time I try to knit a cat comes to enjoy my knitting…

Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · last wk.Imagine going through life expecting that everything should be geared to your personal knowledge base. I think everyone I follow here occasionally says something I don't understand or makes a reference I don't get. That's how you learn!
Oh no, the pest control agency who came to search the work building today found more of what we didn’t want there to be… Urgh, wouldn’t want to be boss boss right now.
