Feeble All Round
Oct. 21st, 2025 12:35 pmpoliphilo I'm still in a bit of a daze and still feel feeble- physically, mentally, spiritually- as if I could easily burst into tears and make a confession of my utter unworthiness- but think I have what it takes to fix myself a proper lunch and hopefully this will make me stronger.
I get up, I go back to sit on thr bed and have Proust inform me about the moeurs of late 19th century France. How happy I am not to be living in that frightful epoque but in this frightful epoque instead.
On that subject I see some frightful Imperial bling from that frightful epoque has been stolen from the Louvre. Good riddance, I say. Whoever nicked it- or had it nicked- has execrable taste.
Foxy keeps digging up my bulbs and I keep burying them again. At least they're not anything of which I should feel ashamed

The Day in Spikedluv (Monday, Oct 20)
Oct. 21st, 2025 07:29 amspikedluvI had another chiropractic appointment this morning. Apparently I misunderstood; the pinch isn’t in the sacrum, it’s in the lower lumbar region. Which is one of the spots in my back that started hurting as the pain in my buttock/leg lessened. The chiropractor said that is expected, as the pain will eventually be felt where the actual pinch is, rather than where it radiates to. Almost forgot to mention that the pain is less again today, in part, I'm sure, because of the adjustment.
I hit Walmart and CVS (for mom’s prescriptions) while I was downtown. I did two loads of laundry, hand-washed dishes, ran a load in the dishwasher, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, and showered.
I watched the current ep of Tracker and some HGTV programs.
Temps started out at 58.8(F) and reached 61.3. It rained most of the night and was supposed rain most of the day, as well, but it was more off and on than steady. We’d have periods of rain, then the sun would come out, then more rain, then sun . . . It was also quite windy. (Pip told me that the pot one of the mums was in had blown into the field. I was like o_O how could that happen? Apparently the plant was blown over, and the pot blown right off it! Who knew that could happen?)
Mom Update:
Mom was doing well yesterday. ( more back here )

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!
Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

harlow_turner_chaotic_ace aka Harlow who has volunteered for Herald editor duties. Check out their small-batch hand-crafted Buffyverse newsletter every Sunday! They have already posted twice!
And a special thank you to departing former chief editor thenewbuzwuzz!! They joined the Herald as an editor in 2017, and took over the chief editor position (from Tuesday editor rahirah) in 2021.
They need to take a break for real life fun and a new full time job. They've been especially helpful in streamlining the Herald process, like the Pinboard. Have a most excellent newslettering retirement thenewbuzwuzz!
This means we now have an editor for every day of the week, yay! We’re no longer in urgent need of new editors.
If you are interested in joining the crew that puts out one of the longest running (since 2004) fandom newsletters, reach out. We can always use a backup editor or more tumblr rebloggers.
Our contact info is available in the tumblr sidebar and LiveJournal/Dreamwidth profile as always. You can also comment on this post. Cheers!

Tuesday, what a day
Oct. 21st, 2025 06:21 ammarcicatGotta love a widespread internet issue that doesn't impact tumblr, lol. (Note: it was fun when it took out one of our work platforms. Not so great when it took out hoopla -- my stories! Nooooooo!)
ANYWAY now it is Tuesday and time for me to take my car in for an oil change. I'm taking the 'just assume everything will take at least twice as long as you think seems reasonable' approach to planning, which may or may not be enough.
Things to do while I'm waiting:
*work (boring but required trainings that no one ever feels like doing)
*work (other tasks I'll be expected to report on in various meetings later this week)
*duolingo
*eat snacks
*November story brainstorming

Content notes: I got so, so frustrated with the nib that I was using, it just wouldn't flow properly, I had to keep dipping and tapping and it would pool in the nib but not at the tip and threaten to get all over everything at once and I'm still really grumpy about it.
But. The ink is really pretty, it's Tranquility from Diamine and it's a lovely purple, and as if to try to make up for the nib it showed off some of its Chameleon sparkle for the camera.
I'm so grumpy though, I need cheering up. So, I need a caption for this picture.
If you're not familiar with why it is this Rhythm Band is in such peril ask in the comments.

MultiLingYule 2025
Oct. 21st, 2025 08:48 pmmorbane posting in yuletideThe MultiLingYule mini-challenge is for works in languages other than English.
Maybe there are very few fanworks in your first, second, etc language, and you'd love to connect with a fellow speaker who's also a fellow fan.
Maybe you're learning a new language and getting a gift in it would be a delightful way to improve your fluency.
Maybe you just want to talk about how much you love conlangs and invite someone to incorporate conlangs into your gift.
The possibilities are multi-ple!
On the creation side: unless someone has clearly indicated that a non-English work would suit as their only gift, gifts of that kind need be posted in Yuletide Madness, regardless of length. Works can only go in the main collection if they fulfil all the same requirements as an assigned gift.
Similarly, someone may be delighted to get a gift in a language you've just started to learn, and connect with you over enthusiasm for that language, but if you're posting a gift in the Main rather than the Madness collection, it should probably either be in a language you're fluent in or in a language you can call on fluent help for.
On the (tangential) beta side, people who can check text snippets, lines of dialogue, etc, in multiple languages are extremely valuable and appreciated, and if you can offer this service, please consider doing so when the beta post goes up.

-if you are interested in receiving gifts in languages other than English
-what languages those are
-what you're prompting (link your letter; if you don't have a letter, you can link your prompts on the app after requests are revealed)
-any other useful notes.
With a Mod Hat On
On the requesting side: if you would be happy if a gift in a different language were your only gift, please also note this in the optional details of your sign-up form. This prevents mod panic when we go to check assignments and need to figure out if someone can actually read their gift!On the creation side: unless someone has clearly indicated that a non-English work would suit as their only gift, gifts of that kind need be posted in Yuletide Madness, regardless of length.

Alexa
Oct. 21st, 2025 07:28 ampaulkincaidA curious benefit from yesterday's Amazon internet outage. I have Alexa throughout the house. I got it when Maureen was ill at home and it allowed us to keep in contact wherever I was in the house. Now I use it to control a few lights and so forth. Now usually when I tell Alexa to turn such-and-such a light on, the light goes on and Alexa says Okay. But a few weeks ago the Alexa device in my bedroom started behaving oddly. I would say turn the light on, and the light would go on, but Alexa would say: Hmm, the device is not responding; or Hmm, I cannot connect to the internet. Always that "Hmm", and always denying that it could do what it had in fact just done. But since the outage, it has just gone back to saying Okay. Such a relief.
