I didn’t have to be to mom’s until 9am this morning, so I was able to get some chores done before I left: I dried and folded yesterday’s load of laundry, washed another load and got it in the dryer, did some hand-washing of dishes, baked chicken for the dogs’ meals, paid some bills online, swept the hallway, laundry area and kitchen, returned another book to the library, and scooped kitty litter.

I had scheduled it so I would be relieved at ~3pm so I could actually make supper, so when I got home I did more dishes, made supper, did even more dishes, shaved, tossed a load of bath towels into the washer and remembered to also put them in the dryer.

I finished Fugitive Telemetry and started the next Duncan Kincaid book, and watched the current ep of Resident Alien.

Temps started out at 61.5(F) and reached 78.2 (that I saw at 3:30pm), but 85 according to Pip. It was cool in the morning, but sunny with a nice breeze in the afternoon.

New Year's Resolutions Check In

ysabetwordsmith: Text says New Year Resolutions on notebook (resolutions)
[personal profile] ysabetwordsmith posting in [community profile] goals_on_dw
We made it to the end of June! \o/ If you have completed some of your medium-term goals or subgoals, and/or you're still chugging away at your ongoing goals, then pat yourself on the back. You worked hard for that. We've also entered summer. If you're doing seasonal goals, hopefully you have finished the spring one(s), and started on the summer batch.

This year I'm trying something new, continuing to track goals at the end of each month. So far it seems to be helping, so that's encouraging. I'm looking at my goal list more often and trying to keep ticking off more of them. The main drawback is that this update becomes more of a chore each month.

These are the previous check in posts:

Packing

[personal profile] rmc28

Regrettably, we have to go home again this afternoon. I am packing with the intention of leaving our luggage at the hotel while we do one last amble along Southsea beach.

Swag count:

  • 11 pens
  • 9 commemorative guidebooks (to the various ships, museums, and the dockyard as a whole)
  • 2 notebooks
  • 2 postcards
  • 1 travel mug
  • 1 fridge magnet
  • 1 birthday card from the Spinnaker Bar staff

Also some chocolate from the Lindt outlet store. My suitcase was fairly full when we came. I'm sure I can make it all fit ... somehow.

The seed for choosing Portsmouth for this getaway came from seeing a sign for "Explosion Museum" while driving a bunch of hockey players to Gosport rink back in May. I'm very glad I went with that impulse, it's worked out well.

Civic Duty: Done

The EHRC consultation on their code of practice closes today. I learnt about it yesterday, which is not ideal, and have just spend around 2-3h hours filling it in.

https://transactual.org.uk/equality-act-campaign/responding-to-the-ehrc-consultation/

has guidance and talking points. You don’t need to fill out everything, but every voice helps.

It’s a transphobic mess. Their stance is basically that it’s fine to get trans people coming and going; they believe in the the ‘trans women are better athletes’ myth and don’t believe that trans women should see gynaecologists.

It’s ugly. I have little hope to have made a difference, but I am spitting mad.

  • Disruptive and Provocative Opinions (DAPO)

Sex swap in seconds: The fish that takes charge and changes gender

Remove the top male spotty fish and, within minutes, the next-in-line female morphs into the tank s new tyrant charging and nipping rivals while her body quietly begins a weeks-long transition to male.


Sex and gender are more fluid than most humans realize. Transition is a natural and normal process.

Buried for 23,000 years: These footprints are rewriting American history

Footprints found in the ancient lakebeds of White Sands may prove that humans lived in North America 23,000 years ago — much earlier than previously believed. A new study using radiocarbon-dated mud bolsters earlier findings, making it the third line of evidence pointing to this revised timeline.

I've been to White Sands. Interesting place, but bizarre. The air is blistering hot, but sand stays cool. Its albedo is too high to absorb much heat.

Due to some RL issues, we're pushing our deadlines back again this year, in a similar fashion to what we did in 2020. Here's the new schedule: 

Revised 2025 Schedule
Sign-ups open: March 11th
Chat 1: April 
Chat 2: May
Chat 3: June 

Chat 4: July 26
Chat 5: TBD
Original primary works due date: August 16
New primary works due date: October 11 (the Saturday preceding Canadian Thanksgiving)
Complementary claims open: October 18
Mandatory checkpoint for complementary creators: November 1
Complementary works due: November 21
Go-live date for all works: American Thanksgiving, November 28

To try and keep motivation up, we've decided to offer a little merit badge for folks who manage to post their primary works by the original deadline. If you're a primary creator, you can post your work to the AO3 collection by August 16 in order to receive a badge you can display on your work, on social media, etc! 

If you have signed up as a primary or complementary creator for this year and were not part of discord conversations about this possibility, please comment below letting us know that you've seen this post! If we don't hear from you we will reach out to you to make sure you know about these changes.

It's challenge time!

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!

Final show: a 5.5 hour bhangra show that was only 6.5 hours long.

Among my final achievements this season, discovering as I hoisted the last of many garbage bags into the dumpster that the bag was leaking coffee. My last achievement was ducking to the men's to wash my hands, discovering someone had plugged the sinks and turned on the taps, and stopping the flood in time.
