That was a week that felt a bit odd, which may have been quite a bit down to my not sleeping as well as have latterly been doing.

Also not getting out for accustomed daily walk as often as usual because RAIN.

Somewhat stunned by phonecall from friend with whom I am collaborating on various projects who has recently had some rather devastating health news.

Resumption of contact with two other friends: one of whom I had contacted after receiving what turned out to be, as I had suspected, spam email from her hacked account.

Having the February blahs, pretty much.

Blue Lock the Movie: Episode Nagi was a lot of fun!

Of course I was excited that they dedicated a whole movie to my OTP, Reo/Nagi! <3 There were also some nice Isagi/Bachira scenes.

It's available on Crunchyroll (new to me, but it's been available to the high-tier subscribers for a long time).

1. What did you want to be when you were a kid?

A kid. Really.

2. What is your proudest accomplishment so far?

I've lived long enough that surely there could be more than one? Perhaps it's knowing when not to respond directly to this question, which invites humblebrags.

3. What is your dream job?

Something lower stress than my previous jobs.

4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I've always found this question (common in certain kinds of interview) to say more about the asker than the answerer. It's bullshit. Ten years before I passed my PhD quals, I had no idea I would apply to grad schools. Ten years before I was part of a team that published an award-winning scholarly bestseller, I had no idea I would work as libstaff. Those were good things to do, but I didn't plan for them.

5. What does it take to make you happy?

Accidental inversions or juxtapositions, and bits of space for contemplation. When I'm very busy, it's harder to notice anything---a thing I noticed after I began protecting time during grad school to take walks and look at random plants.

Do I need to ask, guess the critic, given the headline on this review of the Gwen John exhibition: In a superb, mystical retrospective, the painter sheds social trappings – and her clothes – as she uses her enormous intelligence to paint purely. JJ, go and take a cold shower!

I am not sure that exorcism is quite what is needed in the case, unless he starts doing manifestations in galleries of writhing and speaking in occult tongues and so on: Demand for exorcisms rises as faithful want ‘deliverance from evil’. And in fact it all sounds rather low-key:

Even when an Anglican priest does perform an exorcism, they are nothing like Hollywood horror scenes with “shouting and screaming” and demonic drama.
They are “quiet and calm” affairs where a priest prays with a troubled person, usually after consultation with a psychiatrist and safeguarding experts.

One does feel that this is in the tradition of the C of E! Maybe with a nice cup of tea afterwards....

Knepp: Wilding from the Weald to the waves:

After inheriting the estate from his grandparents in 1983, Charles Burrell soon realised that large-scale farming was impossible on low-lying clay land. So, in 2002 he and his wife, author, and journalist Isabella Tree, embarked on what has become a pioneering rewilding project converting pasture into a patchwork of grasslands, scrub, groves, and towering oaks. Now home to storks, beavers, and nightingales, to name a few, Knepp’s ever-evolving experiment is open for all to enjoy.

Call me a cynical old bat, but I can't help feeling that this is in a Grand Old Longstanding Tradition of landowners doing whatever is The Latest Thing with the estate they inherited. And these days it is not either, tart it up like unto the gardens he saw on his Grand Tour in Italy, introducing various invasive species animal and vegetable, or, set up a funfair and safari park as a remunerative enterprise to enable him to pay off the crippling death duties the iron heel of Clem Attlee and Co has imposed, but to get acclaim for this absolutely on-trend thing to do with his land.

This is a different kind of heritage: Heritage Unlocked: Birmingham’s Unique Municipal Bank:

Birmingham Municipal Bank (1919-1976) was unique as the first and only local authority savings bank in England. Unlike other savings banks (such as the Trustee Savings Banks), customers could borrow money through the House Purchase Department to buy their home. Unlocking the Vaults, has been uncovering the Bank’s history and how it helped shape Birmingham’s story. The Exchange (opposite the Library of Birmingham) was once the head office for the Municipal Bank, and it lies at the heart of this project with many projects and events taking place in the historic Vaults.
Historic black and white photo of the Birmingham Municipal Bank, showcasing its grand architecture with tall columns and detailed facade.
....
A key finding of the project has been the significance of the Municipal Bank, not only as a financial institution but also as a cornerstone of community life, with local branches established on high streets across the city between the 1920s and 1970s.

The rise of ‘low contact’ family relationships - in fact, point is made in there that perhaps what there has been is a rise of is families being all up in one another's business because of Modern Technology and tracking devices, family group chats, the ability to know where family members are and what they are up to at all hours of the night and day.

Because I would not at all describe my own family as 'low contact', we just did not live in one another's pockets and need to be constantly informed and have opinions about each other's lives. Weekly phone-calls - occasional visits- etc etc.

I'm not surprised people feel smothered and overwhelmed when I read some of the shenanigans that families do but then, am introvert to start with.

I’m an aloha shirt kind of guy. Not all of my wardrobe is brightly floral—I need a few more subdued patterns for less informal occasions, such as starting work in an office where I haven’t confirmed aloha is acceptable business casual wear. But a fair number are, most of them tasteful.

This is mostly by temperament—they signal (though let me asterisk that * ) a laid-back temperament, which is both true and helps me through interactions with strangers. Mostly, as there’s also a practical component. I’ve mentioned this a couple times, but I come across IRL as taller than I do online: I’m 6'4" / 193cm. Finding men’s short-sleeve shirts that are long enough for my torso to stay tucked in is a challenge. (Paradoxically, it’s easier with long-sleeve shirts, as “long” sizes is a thing for those.) Aloha shirts, however, are designed to not be tucked in, and indeed look worse that way. Win!

But then there’s that asterisk: * I’m graying enough, both hair and goatee (which last I’ve been keeping for two years now), that I can sometimes be misidentified as a Boomer, and a Boomer in an aloha shirt signals a different temperament than a younger guy in one. I’m lean enough I don’t entirely lean into that stereotype, but still. I’m older Gen X and … touchy … about being mistaken for a Boomer.

The goatee is starting to annoy me in other ways, anyway, so maybe shaving it will help—it has the most white. Or I could, yanno, suck it up and deal. Be laid-back. Just like the shirts claim.

On this day last year I was waiting for my father to die. He had been sedated and was to stay that way.

After I said my final goodbyes to him, my then-ten-month-old son saw me crying. He regarded me thoughtfully for a moment, and then took his finger out of his mouth and stuck it in mine.

His most comforting finger, you understand. His favourite sucking finger. For a pre-verbal infant it felt like such a gesture of love and compassion.

There is a thing that our extended family seem to love doing: giving gifts for the child that he's not old enough for.

This last Christmas (he was then 21 months old, which the astute and mathematically gifted reader will be able to parse as "not yet two") we got multiple gifts for him that are for age 3+.

"Here, have something that you either need to store for over a year or be incredibly hyper-attentive as you supervise, because look, it contains serious choking hazards."

What's even more annoying is that we do a secret Santa thing for the adults in which people give lists of what they want, and I got things that were vaguely adjacent to what I'd asked for but not actually anything in the extremely broad categories I'd listed.

Smol Son's language use is coming along by leaps and bounds. He's suddenly so articulate, forming complex sentences, using adjectives, doing hilarious work with "maybe" and "a little bit". He's also learned that "what do you say" when he demands something means "rephrase that and include the word please".

We've tentatively made progress - or at least acquired new data - on his tummy issues, which is promising.

In language terms he does still a little bit struggle with the thing that's really difficult to explain: pronouns. Explaining I/me/you to a toddler is seriously challenging.

He is obsessed with cricket. He has a little cricket bat and he loves it. He loves pretending to be a cricket bowler. (He also said an English Test bowler was "pretending to be a cricket bowler", which was harsh but arguably fair.)

He has sadly not done something I was finding delightful for a few days: he'd shout: "DOO DOO DOO DE DOO DOO DEEEEE. THAT'S A SONG."

He likes reciting his books as they're read to him.

Is there anyone who'd be interested in co-watching Bridgerton S4 with me?

I want to watch it, I just need to schedule time to watch it, and have someone else metaphorically "on hand" to keep me from rushing off and doing something else.

Yes, we would have to do some tricksy scheduling to manage it if you're in the (usual) locations of Europe/the US. I'm happy to try to work something out.

I was despairing of the 73% of American Republicans who are on team GO ICE in a poll NPR just published asking whether ICE has gone too far -- and the 7% of Democrats and 29% percent of Independents who are with them.

hannah talked me down by pointing out that, as discussed in the linked conversation, 27% of Illinois voted for Alan Keyes over Barack Obama, which was patently bananas.

I remember a certain male role model in my life talking up Alan Keyes. This does not increase my faith in his understanding of politics, or indeed his inhabiting of the same planet I do.

Unfortunately, the weekend also looks a bit busy.

Wanted y’all to hear it from me: CROWNWORLD (book 3 of the Moonstorm trilogy) is canceled. I will not be completing the book (the trilogy). I’m very sorry to readers who were hoping for the conclusion.

This was a mutually agreed, amicable decision between the primary/US publisher (Delacorte), the UK publisher (Rebellion Publishing - Solaris Books), and myself.

Between sales and publishing realities (MOONSTORM sold poorly and its prospects are unlikely to improve for political reasons you can guess), this was a rare situation where this benefits both publishers and myself. I could not announce the cancellation earlier for legal/contract reasons, and can't "simply" release the partial draft of CROWNWORLD for same.

I didn’t plan on MOONSTORM being a market failure. But novel-writing is a career with baked-in instability and career risk. I knew that going in.

Abbreviated version of what happened on my end:
I have 66,000 words of a near-finished draft that I don’t plan on resuming. The breaking point was when I had a concussion in March 2025.

You might ask why I don’t “just” yeet the last 10,000 words to have a book for release to readers even if the print publishers are no longer interested in publishing it. After illness and family crises, I’m exhausted. More than one person close to me nearly died; I set writing aside for months to do caretaking. I have peripheral neuropathy (among other things); my hands and feet might recover, or they might get worse and curtail my ability to do the things that bring me joy.

Both my publishers extended incredible grace and kindness to me during this period. This is not on them. The trilogy existence failure is on me.

I’m moving on. I’ve spent the past several years writing ~three books every two years (or 1.5 books per year - releases won't line up because of production/publishing variables). This probably sounds slow/leisurely but was not sustainable with my health as unstable as it is. There would have been a breaking point down the line even if it hadn’t happened with this specific book. I'm going to spend some time on endeavors just for the joy of it.

I hope y’all have many books you’re looking forward to reading, by other writers.

Note: I’m not in financial distress at present. Please don’t worry on that account.

Best,
YHL

(This may get updated over the course of the day)

After struggling to get Zoom link downloaded and operating etc, managed to get into first session I wanted to attend, Foundling Hospital in early C20th, good grief, practices had not changed much in a century had they? Recipe for trauma in mothers, children, and the foster mothers who actually bonded with the children until they were taken away to be eddicated according to their station in life.

Then switched to a different panel and was IRKED by a lit person talking about the Women's Cooperative Guild Maternity: Letters from Working Women (1915) which they had only just encountered ahem ahem - was republished by I think Virago? Pandora? in 1970s - and women's history has done quite a bit on the WCG since then so JEEZ I was peeved at her assumption that the working women were not agents but the whole thing was being run by the upper/middle class activists who were most visibly involved. And wanted to query whether working women thought it was very useful to have posh laydeez able to put their cases re maternity, child welfare and so on in corridors of power, rather than deferentially curtseying??? (I should like to go back in time and ask my dear Stella Browne about that.)

Also on wymmynz voices not, or at least hard to trace, in the archives, I fancy this person does not know a) Marie Stopes' volume Mother England (1929), extracts of letters she had from women about motherhood and b) based on 1000s of letters surviving and available to researchers. I could, indeed, point to other resources, fume, mutter.

Update Well, there were some later papers I dropped in on and enjoyed (and was able to offer comment/questions on; but I was obliged to point out certain errors in a description of Joanna Russ's The Female Man (really I think if you are going to cite a work you should check details....) (and I suppose Mitchison's work was just outside the remit of what they were talking about, so I was very self-restrained and failed to go on about Naomi.)

I thought I'd already posted about this and squeed in public, but apparently I downloaded it, listened to it, and started using it as a regular bedtime story, and never actually posted about it!

dangercupcake did a podfic of one of my favourite xiyao stories of mine, "Like a Long-Time Painted Smile" (which I think of as the Lan-furen AU). No lie, it is a story that I enjoyed writing and it is one that I've read over a few times since publishing it, but it's so nice to hear someone else read it for me. (And it does work for putting me to sleep. I easily go from enjoying the scene to just drifting off.)

Argh, I need to get back into regular posting, because otherwise these things get monstrously long! I might start breaking the sections up into separate posts. After this one.

Previous poll review
In the Om poll, 7.8% of respondents meditate regularly, 23.5% meditate from time to time, and 41.2% said no. In ticky-boxes, "skipping across treetops and dancing through the clouds" came second to hugs, 45.1% to 74.5%. "Feeling kind of zonky" came third with 41.2%. Thank you for your votes!

Reading
More Bujold -- Andrew and I finished Shards of Honor (incl the scene with my DNWs; thankfully there's just the one) and have just started Barrayar. Really enjoying her sense of humour.

In the Penric novellas (also Bujold), I'm listening in the order they're served up to me, so I've read Penric's Demon, Penric and the Shaman, Penric's Fox, and I've now stalled out in the middle of Masquerade in Lodi. Idk why, it just hasn't grabbed me.

I have the next Wimsy book open on my Kindle, but have not given any time to reading lately.

Kdramas
Some more Family by Choice with Pru. I love this show so much.

I finished Can This Love Be Translated? which was quirky and slightly disconcerting all the way up to the last episode. And then the last episode made me go, loudly and repeatedly, "What? WHAAAT?!" Hong sisters, I love you, but I question those last-minute narrative choices.

Long ramble; spoilers for the whole show

The setup is that an up-and-coming actress stars in a low-budget horror movie where she plays a killer zombie. On the last day of shooting, she has an accident and winds up in a coma for six months (no post-coma PT required). During that time, she becomes an international sensation, so she wakes up a star. For most of the drama, while shooting a reality travel show, she's haunted by her character from the horror movie, or possibly she has multiple personality? It becomes more MP-ish as it progresses, and ends up kind of creepy-sweet. But there's a whole childhood backstory about her mother poisoning her father, trying to poison the main character as well, and then taking the poison herself. After that, the main character had to stay with emotionally distant relatives, so many resultant issues. Given the horror elements and backstory, I wondered if the reveal was going to be that the kid had accidentally killed her parents instead, or something like that? (And how would you even handle that in a romance?) Instead, the reveal was... her parents both survived the murder-suicide incident due to paramedic intervention, but left the country separately, neither wanting to see their daughter again, and NO ONE HAD EVER TOLD HER. And the haunting/MP alter was actually her mother (or based on her mother)???? So in the final episode, the main character leaves the country to find her parents, off-screen, and then the main couple reunite for the romantic ending. It was just... what a weird way to resolve the backstory?? Surely the fact that both of her (messed-up) parents chose to abandon her opens up more cans of worms, rather than resolving anything? But that's not even touched on! And to suddenly tell us that the person she's been for half the show (who flirts with her love interest and goes around randomly kissing people) is ?based on? her murderous mother??? Whaaaat??

Anyway, I enjoyed the translation side of things a lot and the leads and romance generally.

Am now watching Beyond the Bar on my brother's rec (not that brother; the other one), though he then emailed to say he didn't like the ending. It's pretty brutal in places, and

spoiler

the male lead's trauma is that he wants to be a dad, and his ex-wife had an abortion while they were together.

Plus, if they're trying for an office romance, that seems wildly ill-advised. But I'm enjoying it so far, so I'll see.

Other TV
Watched two and a half seasons of Barry before all the murder/moral complicity got to me.
We tried Bones and noped out halfway through episode 1. Also, half of Better Man, the Robbie Williams biopic where he's an ape.

We're currently watching:
- The Pitt -- waiting impatiently for the next episode. (No spoilers, please!!)
- SurrealEstate -- Canadian, seems fun and not quite as episodic as I expected.
- Wonder Man -- MCU, fantastic cast, nicely paced, fun, very curious to see how they're going to wrap it up, because we only have two short episodes to go and they have a LOT of balls in the air.
- Hacks -- about female stand-up comics; we've only watched the pilot, but I plan to continue a bit longer before we decide one way or the other.
- We Are Lady Parts season 2 -- a timeline cleanse/refresh. (I love them all so much!! Why are they so hard to draw? ;-p)

My sister and I just finished season 3 of Fringe. I was having trouble staying away for the last two episodes, but that might not have been the show's fault.

Also Andrew and I saw Avatar: Fire and Ash at the movies. (A bit too action-y for me; I preferred #2.)

Audio entertainment
- Writing Excuses
- The Shit No One Tells You About Writing (episode: The Job of a Disruption -- paraphase/jotted down quote: The job [of the disruption] isn't just to catch the protagonist off-guard. The job of the disruption is to then reveal layers of power dynamics. That could be a further deepening of existing power dynamics in a way that reveals complications, or it could be a power shift (lose or gain power). Looking for threat, temptation, tension, curiosity.)

- multiple listens of the Good Manager podfic

celli made me for

fandomtrees (listed here because I loaded it into Pocket Casts)
- Keep It Steady (in-progress m/m high-school fake-dating audiodrama; relisten, some eps multiple times)

( US politics. )

- Cross Party Lines (NZ Politics)
- The Tongue Unbroken (episode: The Ocean That Unites Us)

Writing/making things
I have one

fandomtrees fic at beta (my beta for that fandom is super busy with off-line stuff). I've been working through the other one, and I'm a bit worried it's got all clogged up with feelings exposition, which is something that's been bugging me about my writing lately -- but I may just be hypervigilant about that, idk. I have a post for

fan_writers in the works. Art practice has ground to a halt for now. Everything is fine.

Life/health/mental state things
( Cut for length. )

Food
My parents accidentally bought a mini air fryer. The basket is 15.5cm in diameter, about big enough for a single cupcake. I offered it a home and have been using it for various things. A new favourite, courtesy of Youtube "air fryer hacks" videos, is leftover pizza, sandwiched together with more cheese in the middle, and reheated till it's crispy. A+

Link dump
Samsung caught faking zoom photos of the Moon (The Verge, a couple of years ago) | The Mayor of Ottawa declared Shane Hollander Day (what is happening?? Heated Rivalry has also shown up in our local newspaper's trivia quiz and in the NYT's Connections puzzle, lol) | Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Minneapolis (Youtube.)

Good things
Andrew. Modern medicine. Treats from the bakery. Having two houses. The cat. Thoughts about writing. Greeting cards. You all. Hugs!!
