Most recent entry in "back on my Seeming bullshit" is A Failure of Imagination, because dang, I really like "And this is a love song / Even if it doesn’t sound like one / ‘Cause there’s a lot of strange love / That doesn’t fit into the way love’s done".

I've spent the last two days at work slowly working through all their albums I've bought from Bandcamp, which is most of them at this point. This is partly because I was showing Clayton Workbestie my 2013 ipod that I've found and started carrying around, and he responded with something like "I bet it has happier music". I demurred, but added that I wasn't on my Seeming bullshit then, which got a positive "oh hey dope, you listen to Seeming too?" and then I had to pretend I listen to it a normal amount and not approximately 50% of my music by time this calendar year.

I have not been posting well, because I've been Fuckin' Busy and also because I've been carefully falling apart with the end of the year. There's a lot of "not now" tasks that are about to come absolutely slamming into "now" and I'm kinda struggling to keep track of all of them. I like dreaming of the world where I can actually track things like todo lists.

Yesterday was a really good day though, up until the part where I fell extremely asleep in a weird curled up heap on my bed with the laptop open:

*I restarted a knitting project that hadn't gone immediately perfect (I am genuinely pleased with myself for a: noticing that it wasn't going satisfyingly and taking steps immediately, so I only frogged a couple days worth of work and not longer, and b: making the project Much Harder for myself in a way that felt extremely satisfyingly stupid¹.)

*We're in MCAS hell, which is awful as always, but at least it's the last of the year, and it is giving me lots of bonus prep time to fuck around in my classroom and do nebulously useful things, like work on my knitting but also *some* grading.

*Also it means I can fuck off to the pharmacy before school today, which was good and necessary.

*Yesterday's DnD went SO GOOD! I both _very badly whiffed_ a roll, and then got to do some fun acting/social stuff and then _very much succeeded_ in the killing blow on the big bad we've been chasing after for quite a while. I have forgotten how much I miss having tanky characters and being able to actually like. Do damage to enemies! Anyways, it was real good, and also it was very funny to casually be like "and of course when Josh and Eve visit Boston in a couple weeks we'll all play in person together" and have both of them *and* Scoop be like "wait, that's an amazing idea". Like, y'all!

*Also watching Taskmaster with Tailsteak was Real Good! It always is, but we've missed a couple weeks in a row for various bullshit, so it was really nice to get closer to caught up. We're really enjoying this season! Which I feel like I say every season, but "do something brave" was _fantastic_. I really appreciate that we're having a season where it seems like everyone actually does want to win!

Anyways, I probably have other things I ought to be writing about, but I don't remember them because I am perpetually short-changed on sleep. I hope you're doing well!

1: Part of me feels I should elaborate, but much more of me feels like, you either get it or you don't.

I decided I wanted to use only half of each colour skein at a time so I unwound every single one of them, carefully so I could find an approximate halfway point, and then cut them there and rewound them. There are definitely both easier and better ways to do this (certainly the best would involve weight rather than length, especially because yarn is kinda stretchy) but it was very satisfying to set up a couple yardsticks taped to my work desk to unwind onto.

Remember how last week I posted about Clover’s demise? Well, apparently I wasn’t the only person incredibly saddened by this, and 10 minutes ago, I got an email from them saying that they were overwhelmed with the love, and…. they’ll be re-opening the Cambridge and Boston locations next week!

This weekend was rather book focused: I finished four books, and had book club about a fifth (that I’d finished a couple of weeks ago). ( books )

Shabbat day was incredibly windy and rainy (in addition to the previously mentioned meteor strike). At one point I found a single blossom of rhododendron sitting, perfectly formed, on the porch railing. The rhododendrons are in front of the building, not the back, so this was particularly surprising.

Monday I picked up a couple of nasturtium seeds and seedlings (courtesy of one of the local Buy Nothing groups). I planted a lot of them this morning, and gave the excess seeds to a coworker.

I did a library run this evening, including signing up for this year’s summer reading program, which has the theme “Plant a Seed, Read”. I got a bingo board, a pamplet with a list of summer programming, and a flowery bookmark with embedded seeds that can be planted. The 4 x 4 bingo board for adults (they have four age groups, 0-5, grade school, teens, and adults, basically) has these categories:

Row 1: Read outdoors | Visit a community garden or farmer’s market | Multi-generational story \ Book over 350 pages (counts for 2 squares!)
Row 2: Indigenous author | Read in your favorite place to rest | Attend a library program/event | [second half of Book over 350 pages]
Row 3: Start a series | Same book as a friend | Cookbook/about food | About environmental justice
Row 4: Re-read a favorite | About farms or gardens | Read aloud to a loved one or animal | Your choice!

First thoughts: I should’ve waited a couple of days to read the Moniquill Blackgoose book. Most of these are pretty doable, though I’m not sure what I’ll read aloud to who (perhaps I should host a story reading?).

I’m open to recs for a book with a multi-generational story or about environmental justice, or a series I should start.

I went to REI this afternoon to buy sandals, and I found a pair that suits me. They're Tevas, and if I'm satisfied after wearing them a few times, I'm going to order another pair in a different color (these are basic black).

I tried on several other shoes, which ranged from not quite right to just weird (a pair of Birkenstocks that had their arch supports in a really weird place relative to my feet).

Having found a pair that I thought fit, I walked down and then up a flight of stairs, as a test, and they were fine. I try not to climb a lot of stairs, but some are unavoidable, and it seemed like a useful test.

I'd been a little worried that there wouldn't be anything left in my size, since we're well into the time of year when a lot of people are wearing sandals, but REI clearly thinks it's still sandal season, along with hiking and running shoe season.

Quick note that post-by-email and comment-by-email is (sometimes?) failing silently without actually posting right now! I'm pretty sure this is related to last night's shenanigans and will be fixed once Mark can finish the full fix for it, which he's working on, but if you've posted or replied by email in the last 24 hours, fish it out of your sent folder to check if it posted!

EDIT: This should be fixed as of around 7AM EDT! We *believe* everything that was stuck in the plumbing has been sent along to your journal or the comment thread it was meant for; it's definitely not where it was stuck anymore, at least.

Books finished:

Ada Palmer, Inventing the Renaissance. the book covers a lot, with a focus on Machiavelli and on Florence--The idea of a Renaissance, as a goal, was invented in Florence, and tourism has been important to the economy of Florence for centuries. Recommended.

T. Kingfisher, Paladin's Faith. A reread of a romance set in the Temple of the White Rat universe.

Celia Lake, Claiming the Tower. Another romance set in her Albion fantasy history, this takes place during the Crimean War, and the relationship arc is a slowly-developing friendship and then romance between two wonen.

Jenn Lyons, The Sky on Fire. A fantasy novel, set in a world with dragons. The main viewpoint character wanted to be a dragon rider, and instead found herself living on the barely-habitable surface, after what was intended to be been a fatal fall. Politics on multiple levels, as well as relationships. I enjoyed this and am not sure what to say about it. Lyons does a good job of world-building, with a lot of what Jo Walton calls including to avoid the "as you know, Bob" problem of telling the reader things that the characters take for granted. This seems to be a stand-alone book, and I have another of Lyons's books on hold at the library.

Susan Kaye Quinn, editor, Bright Green Futures. An anthology of solarpunk stories. These are mostly near-future stories about living in a climate-changed future, and adapting to aspects of that.

I liked most of the stories. Serena Ulibarri’s “What Kind of Bat Is This?” is about people working on studying and restoring a bit of desert. Danielle Arostegui’s “A Merger in Corn Country” is about farming and finding community as the climate changes and people have to decide whether to relocate. Brightflame’s "Ancestors, Descendants,” is weird and interesting, depicting a few people finding a way to live within a fungally-linked network of plant life at the northeastern edge of the continent (I think North America). “Centipede Station” by T K Rex is set much further in the future, somewhere a long way from Earth. It's anti two people whose starship has crash-landed on some kind of space station. Recommended, though I apparently tried and gave up on one of the author's novels a few years ago.

Celia Lake, Distilling Sunlight. Another Albion book, a romance between a widower with two children, and a woman who has never married, because she never met anyone she wanted to marry, and because she thinks her distractability and tendency to lose track of time would interfere with any serious relationship.

Holly Day, Squirrel Circus. A romance between two "shifters," one a wolf shifter (with a lot more control over the transformation than the typical werewolf, and a squirrel shifter. The two men can smell that they are each other's destined mates, and both think it would be a very bad idea, because wolves tend to kill and eat squirrels. I enjoyed this, but have no immediate impulse to seek out more of Day's work. We never see the titular squirrel circus, but it's a minor plot point. (This book, the Celia Lake romances, and the Courtney Milan book discussed below all contain explicit sex, but this one has an "adults only" warning at the beginning.)

Lois McMaster Bujold, Knot of Shadows. Another Penric and Desdemona novella.

Courtney Milan, A Compendium of Ever-Increasing Mayhem. Romance, and I'm not sure I entirely believe the characters getting together after the man ruined the woman socially years earlier, largely to amuse himself and his friends. (He has changed, but she has trouble believing that.)

Current reading:

I am reading what seems to be the new Penric and Desdemona story, Darklight Dare, on the kindle.

Our current read-aloud book is Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers, translated by someone who liked the book enough that he learned French in order to translate it. (We compared this to another translation, and agreed that we preferred this one.)

Robby has managed to put in a temporary fix for the site errors and things failing to refresh or not showing up where they should! The permanent fix is going to need Mark's experience, and unfortunately -- seriously, this literally never fails -- Mark has been on an international flight all day, because of course he has. (Never. Fails. He and I are not allowed to both take vacation at once.)

The site will work just fine with the temporary fix in place, things just might be a little slow here and there. We'll keep you updated.

We're aware of site traffic issues and are working to fix them for the people who are having problems! (The tactics the damn bot traffic uses are endlessly shifting, and they're really good at looking like real traffic, sigh.)

I heard an odd sound this afternoon, a sort of boom I’ve never heard before. It turns out it was a meteor hitting Massachusetts Bay, which I only found out after Shabbat.

Wow.

I finally finished Upon A Star, by PigeonCoop Designs, from the book Cross Stitch In The Forest. It took me a little over a year; I work on many projects at once, so this is pretty fast for me. The confetti stitches were SUCH a pain! I used a sharp embroidery needle so I could weave the tails through the weave of the Aida fabric.

https://www.loweringthebar.net/?p=47264

“A kindergarten graduation turned violent today” were the first words of this report from WTVG about a May 21 incident at Queen of Apostles School in Toledo, Ohio. At least a dozen people, all chronologically adult, ended up in a brawl after being unable to resolve a dispute over seating for the ceremony. One woman was arrested and charged with “felonious assault” for allegedly grabbing another woman by the hair and banging her head into a chair. The loser of that exchange needed stitches, according to the report.

Thankfully, no children were harmed, and no serious injuries were reported and certainly no deaths. As we’ve discussed before, the name of this category is to be understood sarcastically, not literally. If you wish further elaboration, you can find it at the beginning of prior installments. See, e.g., “Good Reason to Kill #78: Ate the Last Hot Pocket” (May 30, 2023); “Good Reason to Kill #77: Summoned Bigfoot to Kill You First” (July 13, 2022).

Okay, that last one did involve a murder, but that was an exception to the general rule, because Bigfoot.

No one was killed at the kindergarten ceremony, that’s the point. But there was a full-on brawl between various nominally adult family members, with punches thrown, as you can see on WTVG’s site because of course someone recorded it on their phone. When introducing that clip, the anchorperson felt obligated to say that it was “disturbing,” by which I assume he meant “hilarious.”

It doesn’t show how the dispute arose, or how a dispute could have arisen about seating at a kindergarten graduation ceremony. According to a witness, one family “started to grab their own chairs and kind of like make their own space,” apparently in front of others who then couldn’t see well. The video seems to show there is plenty of space in the room to which one could relocate, and that the ceiling is high enough that standing up would also have been an option. Doing that would put one’s eyeballs above the back of a seated person’s head, thus ensuring that photons bouncing off the children could reach those eyeballs and thereby the attached brain for analysis. But it seems no one thought of that.

According to the witness, he was involved in some of the back-and-forth before things turned violent. At some point, he said, a “whole family in the first two rows stood up—five guys, five girls—they all just stand up,” and before he knew it he had been “sucker-punched.” This knocked him to the ground, whereupon “probably four or five other guys were on top of me, trampling me, punching me, kicking me in the head.” The video generally confirms this, but the man doesn’t seem to have been in any real danger. Let’s just say most of the blows look like they could have been delivered by the children, not just witnessed by them.

Nor is a felonious assault immediately apparent from watching the video. Of course, that depends on what “felonious assault” means in Ohio. At common law, and under some statutes, an “assault” is an intentional act that creates a reasonable fear of imminent harm, whether contact is made or not. Making contact is “battery,” and of course these usually go together—except in the case of a sucker punch, which would be battery unpreceded by assault. But never mind that, because Ohio statutes don’t distinguish between assault and battery. They just define different flavors of assault. In rough order of badness, these are: negligent, regular, aggravated, and felonious.

“Negligent assault” means negligently causing physical harm to another by means of a deadly weapon or “dangerous ordnance.” A third-degree misdemeanor.

Regular “assault” means knowingly causing or attempting to cause physical harm to another, or recklessly causing it. Generally a first-degree misdemeanor (i.e., the worst kind), but circumstances could make it a fifth-, fourth-, or even third-degree felony.

“Aggravated assault” is more complicated. This means knowingly causing serious physical harm, or causing or attempting to cause any physical harm by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance, “while under the influence of sudden passion or in a sudden fit of rage” brought on by “serious provocation occasioned by the victim that is reasonably sufficient to incite the person into using deadly force….” So, the consequences were or could have been more serious than with regular assault, but you were provoked. A fourth- or possibly third-degree felony.

Take away the “aggravation” part, and you get “felonious assault,” the charge laid upon the most brutal of our kindergarten parents. This is at least a second-degree felony, so, the worst assault of all.

Given those categories, it seems to me that this was over-charged. It was definitely assault, but the harm doesn’t seem to have been all that serious, and having looked at the definition of “deadly weapon” I’m pretty confident a chair doesn’t count. So I don’t see how this was the felonious kind. Let’s put it this way: the section actually has two definitions of “felonious assault.” The one above is section 2903.11(A). Section 2903.11(B) involves having sex with someone without telling them you have AIDS (assuming you do). Smacking someone’s head into a folding chair doesn’t really seem to belong in the same category.

According to the report, the graduation ceremony was canceled and will be rescheduled for a later date. By then the parents may have grown up enough to attend it.

See also, e,g, “Monks Brawl Over Jurisdiction at Tomb of Christ” (Mar. 13, 2009) (which also seemed unnecessary), and a surprising number of other examples here.

OKAY HI!

Some good things I have done recently:

*Actually tried to get some real sleep in a real bed some of these nights? Of course, I'm only just getting to words now at midnight, so that's not really great for continuing the trend, but at least tomorrow is an incredibly mellow day at work.

*Done a _lot_ of nostalgia-searching old hard drives for interesting things. This is mostly in the pursuit of flirtation, because of course it is, but also in the pursuit of having a good time with nostalgia!

*Found my old ipod, it's got about 5k songs on it from circa 2013. I am _very very_ enjoying listening to them, even though it's annoyingly a little jank on the headphone jack and I only get input from the left headphone.

*Went to Pinewoods for the Work Weekend! This was SUCH A GOOD WORK WEEKEND! I did lots of very good work! Lots of scrobbling in the sticks and leaves! Getting put in charge of a work crew that immediately unionized against me! A little bit of knitting! No swimming because it is wayyyyy too early in the season! Showing new friends my beloved Home, complete with dead mice and horrible bathroom paintings!

*Work is exhausting right now. We're close to the end. But not close enough. But I'm making it through, and that's pretty good!

*Got to have dinner at Willow and Alexander's house, which involved a lot of looking at their wedding photos and then joining Willow in chanting "put it on" at Alexander until they showed us how pretty their wedding suit was. I am always pleased when my blanket "I will do all your dishes in exchange for food" offer actually gets taken up.

*Last night's exec meeting was _thoroughly satisfying_ and then I had enough energy to run a bunch of data about my class and the data was REALLY GOOD! I still need to actually use it to write my AGM report, but my AGM report is gonna mention shit like "Yeah, I've had over 80 people try my class out, and half of them have come back at least once" which is _fantastic_ kinds of numbers actually.

*I dunno man, like, my life is good and weird? I've been trying to lie down on the bench on the back porch for a little while every day when coming home from school and that is really nice? I do need to stop getting endlessly distracted from words so I can go to bed, so I guess that's all here for now. G'night!

It's been a while since we've done a full code push rather than just hotfixes for bugs, so we are well overdue! Depending on availability, we're aiming to do one sometime soon; we'll let you know specifics once we've worked out good timing for everyone who needs to be available.

However! The reason it's been so long is we kept trying to get some of the stuff that's pending to "really finished" instead of just "mostly finished", and then we once again looked around and went "oh no, this is a really big code push with a lot of changes". Those make us nervous, because while we do a lot of testing ourselves, y'all are really creative in how you use the site and we inevitably find a bunch of edge cases when we let you loose on new code with your real-world data!

So, if folks have some spare time in the next few days, it would be a huge help if you could spend half an hour or so using the site the same way you normally do but with the "Site-Wide Canary" beta features flag turned on. Canary mode is a sort of "live testing" mode: it's your real data, but running the most up-to-date code.

Canary mode always does have a few glitches -- there may be missing text strings or errors about missing database properties, which is a limitation of how we run it. We don't need to know about those, but anything else weird that you run into, leave a comment with what you were trying to do and the error message you got.

I'll repeat that the "here be dragons" caution that's on the beta features page: some things may be broken, so don't use it for when you're doing something important. But a few more eyeballs on it before the push will help the push go more smoothly for everyone.

For folks who want to concentrate on what's changing, we haven't finished the second code tour of what's going to be in this push, but the ffirst one has a good chunk of what's going to be going live. (We'll get the second half done ASAP!)

I tried a new ice cream place this afternoon, on my way home from the dentist. The bus driver pulled over because he realized that the air conditioning wasn't working, fortuitously in front of an ice cream and frozen yogurt shop with a sign in the window that said "saffron rose." So, instead of getting on the next bus, I went into the store and got a dish of soft-serve saffron rose ice cream, which was very good. I had vaguely noticed the shop in passing, but been unimpressed, because the place is named "tutti fruitti" [sic]. While eating my ice cream, I mentioned to the bus driver that I'd been going to get ice cream in Harvard Square. He asked for the location, and said that his favorite ice cream is sold at a bowling alley in Hyde Park.

The dental visit itself went fine. He placed my new permanent crown, to replace the temporary one I got three weeks ago.

I noticed again that my risk of catching covid (or any other respiratory infection) there is very low: the dentist and his assistant were masked, and there was nobody in the waiting room when I arrived, and one person when I was done. The dentist mostly works out of a different office, and I don't know know the economics of keeping this office open one day a week work, but I'm glad they do.

I just got an email from Clover: they’re closing their doors after this Thursday, after 17 years in business, and it has me very sad (it’s the current economy, unsurprisingly). They’ve been a wonderful local business, with a focus on locally-sourced vegetarian food (working directly with farmers to use seasonal produce), in addition to hosting CSA pickups for a number of farms. They have Lighthouse Kosher certification (which not everyone accepts), which has made it extra convenient for me, having multiple locations on my side of the river, including one right by work. (Read: if I don’t manage to bring lunch with me, it’s going to be either supermarket food from the place that’s even more expensive than Whole Wallet, or hopping on the T plus a half mile walk to get food from Milk St, or an even longer trip to get food from somewhere in Brookline.)

I’m going to miss the breakfast popover sandwiches (I could eat these every day), sandwiches with mushroom poppers in them, the zucchini sandwich (a fried slab of tofu with slices of zucchini and fresh-off-the-cob corn, plus whatever dressing with shiso), the corn chowder (they make all their soups from scratch, and don’t have any freezers, so I know it’s always fresh), the black lentil salad with hazelnuts and dried cherries, the egg-and-eggplant sandwich (aka sabich), and so many others.

well, 2/3 of a dock.

We actually put in the first third a month ago. Today it was calm, and it's been hot, so the temp was up to 69 (down from 72 which it achieved on the last hot day but then it's been cool). Wetsuits needed, but only 1/8 inch (a.k.a. 3mm). Still, we got a bit chilled and tired so we'll do the last third another day. Possibly Monday if the wind isn't too much. Tomorrow it will rain.

My garden is growing in its containers but my tomatoes have a mildew that we can't find on the internet with image search. I sprayed with neem oil anyway.

So, I was poking around some old journal entries today, and found this gem¹ from 2012. It's me, saying I'd like to start a dance, host something regular. A chance for my friends to get together with me and do a wide variety of fun stuff.

It's from me not-quite-a-year out of college. Bright and a little naive and always the kind of optimistic that says "what if I could get all my friends to come dance with me!?". Not really thinking about the stress of balancing schedules and the difficulties in advertising and promoting and ensuing the regulars have reasons to come back and the new people have reasons to try it out and everyone can have some fun. I do appreciate the part where I say "in an ideal world I'd just pay for it myself".

It took me twelve and a half years after that post to have the first instance of GenderFree SCD in Somerville. It's not Oella North --this is not an open format "whatever kinds of dance we feel like" melange. It's just Scottish, with a waltz thrown in at the end.

But tonight I was one of twelve dancers, and it was a week with no "newbies" as it were. I looked around at one point and my brain said "I am here with my friends!" and that is true, that is what it is. One of the friends is someone I only met because of this, because she found it random and started attending regularly. Some of the friends primarily do other dance forms, and this is how I am slowly dragging them into SCD. Some of the friends are more experienced than me. One of the friends is my high school friend!

It was twelve tonight, and I think at least 2/3 of the April nights had seven couples. This wasn't even everyone who's shown up more than a few times! I have _regulars_ and I have enough regulars that it feels increasingly like I have something _sustainable_. There are still more steps to go to reach the highest dreams, but oh gods, the dreams that have already come true are so amazing!

part of the genesis for this is the idea of having a space to do Scottish Country where no one cares about your gender or who you're dancing with

I have _successfully given myself that space_. I built it with my own two hands, except that's not true at all, I built it with my own community and all our hands together! And we are continuing to build it, and expand it outwards. A floor where we care about each other's genders in the sense that we love and respect these myriad identities, but no one thinks any of them have anything to do with where you dance.

Tonight we were doing presumptive dances from Book 55, and it felt _so good_ to approach that as a team and a puzzle. We tried out four of them (part of my words goal for tonight is to type up the notes so I can pass those along) and it was great fun! I don't think we would've done so many if we'd actually had beginners this week, but we didn't and so it was marvelous!

It felt good also to be able to make eyes at each other about the various divisors being so clunky about their language. And also, honestly, to be in a space where I could start us off with "hey y'all, I think I'm gonna just do a mental find/replace on role terms" and have people think that's dandy.

And if I'm being extremely vain and just a little smug, it felt really good to be in a space where we tried one of the dances that CambridgeClass tried Monday night. I didn't dance it then, my observation from the side of the room was "hm. That seemed. Semi-disasterous". The two people who did dance it then, seemed to like it much better tonight, and several of the rest of us thought it was extremely good as dances go.

And yeah, a little bit of that is me! I am good at teaching and I'm especially and increasingly good at teaching this class. But a lot more is that I successfully recognized the space that wanted to exist, and bullied it into existing. I built it, and they came, and by they, let's just say, well. The dancers!

It's real great and it makes me _abundantly_ happy, every single week.

I hope you are also happy!
