ioplokonI really need a Canada icon...
Anyway, it's my first national holiday as a semi-Canadian. I am working because I love to get time & a half, but did still want to celebrate in some way so I am:
I may also try to go see the fireworks later, though I would rather see fireflies...
Anyway, it's my first national holiday as a semi-Canadian. I am working because I love to get time & a half, but did still want to celebrate in some way so I am:
- Reading Dynasties and Interludes, a gigantic history of Canadian electoral politics.
- Registering to become an organ donor & stem cell donor and making an appointment to donate blood.
- Watching a documentary about mining.
I may also try to go see the fireworks later, though I would rather see fireflies...

lirazelI am once again asking for audiobook recs! I'm looking for nonfiction, read by the author, preferably not too dense. Audiobooks are not my normal medium, so I'm picky. As for what kind of nonfiction, I like history, cultural criticism, psychology, etc.
Audiobooks I've actually enjoyed listening to:
The Anthropocene Reviewed and Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green
Girl On Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves by Sophie Gilbert
How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question by Michael Schur
Unruly by David Mitchell
Roctogenarians: Late in Life Debuts, Comebacks, and Triumphs by Mo Rocca
I think all of these people except Gilbert have experience on TV/podcasts, which probably contributes to them being good at reading their own stuff.

althea_valaraI didn't post one of these last month, because I had been working on a secret project. I intended to finish that project in June, but it was not to be, partially due to busyness but mostly due to the fact that I am designing my own thing and ran into snags. Here's hoping I can finish in July!
(Some folks around Dreamwidth know what the secret project is; I'm keeping it secret HERE though so if you comment here, please don't give it away? Thanks!)
[click pics to embiggen]
[Image Description: A pivot table, showing I crafted for 40 hours in May and over 32 hours in June on four projects.]
I had hoped to finish several projects in June, not only the secret one. I did manage to finish the Capybara. It's pretty big! And it was for a Nerdopolis challenge. The theme was "Rodents", and of course I chose a Capybara because there is a capybara mount in Final Fantasy XIV, so perfect nerd cred tie-in.
[Image description: a stuffed crocheted capybara, done in the African Flower technique. It is made up of different shaped motifs crocheted together. It is largely a light brown in color with creamy white on its neck, belly, and rump.]
The Mosaic Cardi is still in process. I'm on the right front now. It's kinda a weird construction, not one I have encountered before, and I can't say I'm really enjoying it because long rows of HDC are (a) LONG, (b) boring. Can't wait until I get to the mosaic part.
The Sophie Scarf was supposed to be done this month for another Nerdopolis challenge. The theme was "How do the fine folks in your Nerdery travel?" and of course I chose the chocobo, so the scarf is yellow in color. I just, you know, ran out of time. I might finish it this month, we'll see.

fardell24The third of the previous applicants entered the bookstore.
“Let’s see. Dani Moreno, a sophomore at Lawndale State,” Quinn said.
“That’s right,” Dani said.
“I looked over your CV again. You said that you study visual arts and also are experienced with sound equipment.”
“Yes. But I may ask.”
“You can,” Quinn said.
“Is the person you actually hired responsible for Jane Lane’s disappearance.”
“Possibility.”
“I see,” Dani said with a frown.
“Do you know Jane?”
“Yes, my brother is in Mystik Spiral.”
“I guess that’s some of your experience in sound equipment comes from,” Quinn guessed.
Dani nodded.
“Right. I need to talk to more people, but I think you might be in.”
“I’ll wait in the café.”
“Thanks.”
Dani entered the café and saw that Scott Ashworth was there. ‘I didn’t think he was interested in Shakespeare,’ she thought. She then went up to the counter.
“How may I help you,” the pigtailed waitress asked.
“A white tea, thanks.”
“Coming right up.”

Likes
- General Likes:
- Time travel, including: time travel fixit; time travel with the glorious angst of knowing you're overwriting your future to give the past a chance; time travel that results in forming new kinds of relationships with people, like becoming friends with someone who was an enemy in the old timeline.
- Seers (in the absence of predestination) who know what may happen and use that knowledge cleverly.
- Strict honor codes.
- Worldbuilding.
- Alien POV.
- A sense of wonder.
- Loyalty.
- Characters temporarily putting aside their weapons or sources of power as a show of trust.
- Best enemies, who might kill each other someday but fundamentally respect and trust each other, perhaps more than they do their nominal allies. Rivals and enemies becoming friends, or allies, or lovers, or swearing loyalty to one another.
- Kneeling. Physical gestures of loyalty or affection.
- Unexpected mercy. Mercy in general, too.
- Heroism in desperate straits, characters choosing to be heroic even in a dystopia or doomed world.
- Magical abilities/superpowers in daily life.
- Time travel fixit.
- Time travel with the glorious angst of knowing you're overwriting your future to give the past a chance.
- Time travel that results in forming new kinds of relationships with people, like becoming friends with someone who was an enemy in the old timeline.
- Crack pairings that suddenly make perfect sense due to time travel!
- Characters gaining a new perspective--on other people, history, themselves, etc.
- Characters who were neglected in canon getting to shine, including but not limited to those characters using their knowledge of the future to achieve great things.
- In action series, characters using their future knowledge to become totally badass (especially when it's a female character doing this).
- Culture! I really love a piece that gets into the POV of the culture it's depicting.
- Family structure. How do people see their relationships? Which ones do they prioritize?
- Craft details!
- Clothing, cloth, fibers, weaving, spinning... Also jewelry. Who wears it? What does it indicate (e.g., gender, status, ...?)
- Architecture, how homes and public buildings reflect a culture.
- Food! What do people eat? How do they store food for the times when they can't farm/hunt/forage for more? Do they trade for food?
- Leaders slowly earning the trust of traumatized people who have every reason to fear the worst from the world in general and possibly them in particular.
- A character is disparaged by their own allies, but an unlikely person (such as an honorable enemy or captor) recognizes their excellence and tells them so.
- I already mentioned unexpected mercy, but it goes here too: I love a buildup of fear and then relief, mercy from someone who (as far as the character knows) has absolutely no reason to be merciful.
- Characters who have no mercy for themselves, but can have it for others, or whose friends and lovers disagree with their self-judgement.
- Characters pushing themselves to their limits and beyond, and others being there to catch them when they do.
- Characters going to great lengths to help one another.
- The less-hurt person also being in some distress, and struggling with it, and perhaps taking comfort in their own ability to help others.
- Characters who are convinced that they don't matter and no one cares learning that actually someone does care and does think they matter.
- Rescues! Rescues where the rescuee is convinced no one's coming, implacable rescuers overcoming terrible obstacles to save their friends/lovers.
- Pen and ink. Watercolor. Charcoal.
- Use of light and shadow.
- Limited color palettes can be very lovely!
- Flowing lines.
- Stained glass, decorated pottery, tapestry, art that evokes any of these.
- Body language.
- "Royal ease" position, when appropriate (for gods and rulers).
- Favorite artists: John R. Neill, Ivan Bilibin, Leo & Diane Dillon, Alphonse Mucha, Thomas Canty, James Gurney, Jan Pospíšil, Michelle Lockamy. On the comics side of things, Dave Cockrum for character designs & clothing, John Byrne for body language, Alan Davis, David Aja (his Scarlet Witch covers especially).

cupcake_gothLast night my brain decided to give me a new stress nightmare, oh yay. In it I had taken all my bedtime meds on the drive to Seattle for next week's (!!!) MCR concert. I met up with minim_calibre , we found our seats, and during the opening act I fell asleep, missing the entire MCR show.
WHAT THE HELL, BRAIN?!
This obviously won't happen in real life. But in that brief instant between sleep and waking out of the dream, I was SO UPSET.
Twelve days until the concert! The Seattle show is the first one of the tour, which means the band should be all riled up. And that I'll have no idea what the tour merch is, so I'll have to make my purchasing decisions in real time. Yes, there's a part of my brain that says buy it allllllll, but I'm trying not to listen to it. No really, I'm trying to, because I know I don't need all the Long Live: The Black Parade merch. Probably.
(buy it allllll)

blueshiftofdeathReview
I briefly mentioned this in my 2024 reading roundup; I really liked it! The narrator for the audiobook also did a fantastic job-- I'm not sure how much of a difference that made, but I can at least imagine reading the book in written form and liking it less than the audiobook version, since I think the narrator really sells some of the turns of phrase. In any case, this was a pleasant listening experience for me, someone that's already a full on social media hater and has an axe to grind about it.
( cut for length )
The Arguments
Before getting into the arguments, I want to share the author's note from the introduction, dated March 2018:
( cut for length )
You are losing your free will.
Basically, social media is (1) designed to manipulate you and (2) addictive. You spend increasing amount of time glued to your screen, actively consuming material meant to direct your behavior (usually into buying things) and/or giving your information to the platform to help them present the material that will direct your behavior. Weird and bad.
