The week has already started and I'm already planning for the weekend, lol. In my defense, I still have STUFF to get done. I've got a new layout for my room planned and I'm going to do a bit of a purge while I go about it. Might call and see if my oldest nephew is available and willing to come help, since I'll have to move some furniture and that's easier with two.

One issue I've had when it comes to decorating my space is that when I first started buying wall art, well, I had more wall. Since then, I've hung a painting that was languishing in my closet and gotten those new shelves. I really like the painting, especially how it fits in the space where I have it, but I think I'm going to take it down. I'm also planning to move one of my bookcases into the closet-- still to be used for storage purposes, of course. Since I'm already condensing a lot of the stuff I have on the (mostly) non-book-bearing bookcases and since I already cleared some of my closet shelves, I figure I can clear a lot of space on the remaining case and use those shelves for display space. I'll still need to weed my collection, don't get me wrong, but that'll save me some tough decisions and also open the door for a few display options I've been considering.

I've already moved along one Transformers toy on eBay and I've still got a lot more to list. Many of them, I don't think I'll get to until the weekend due to having them put up... in the closet. Yeah, there's lots of rearranging to be done, lol. I figure I'll focus on prep-work tidying this week, so I'll be ready for the big stuff. Depending on what I get done before the weekend, I may even have time to go to the farmers market. Don't wanna get too ahead of myself, of course-- still got a few days to go! That said, the better prepared I am, the more likely I'll be able to do what I want to do.

So, been having a pretty good reading month still, though I've slowed down a little over the last couple of days. I blame the world, lol. But I'm currently working my way through an anthology of lesbian literature from the seventeenth century onward and I also enjoyed a one-day read of a book of fifty short biographies of queer people through history.

That second one was... fine.The biographies themselves, all one-page affairs, were a little watered down and even over-sanitized for my liking but the book does seem to be aimed at-- or least intended to be welcoming too-- a younger demographic than I realized. The illustrations were nice, I learned a few new names and it was cool to see names I recognized. Of those latter was a poet nun who I had, as coincidence would have it, just learned about through the anthology. Which perhaps made it all the more jarring when I got to a page that opened by name-checking Sappho and then claiming that there were no poems about women loving women after her until 1900. Uh. There are a few women who I think would like a word on that one... Including the aforementioned poet nun.

On Monday's outbound commute I finished the audiobook for Even Though I Knew the End. This is a supernatural/fantasy noir romance and it does pack a lot of all three of those things into its brief 4-hour runtime.

This book relies heavily on stock film noir tropes—the veteran down-and-out private (paranormal) investigator (here a lesbian, Helen, our protagonist) who drinks too much and is haunted by past mistakes, a mysterious and sexy female client with a unique case, and "just one last" job before the PI plans to quit and retire with a beloved romantic partner. I didn't find them overused—and seeing them reworked to queer and female characters was fun—but other readers may find them too worn out even here.

Because the book is so short, it moves along at a very rapid pace. The whole thing takes place over the course of two days—the final two days before Helen's soul debt is called due and she finally has to pay the price of her warlock bargain. In this way, any rush felt appropriate, since it fit both the size of the novel and the context of Helen's urgency to get this last job done before she has to pay up.

The characters weren't super developed, but again—4-hour runtime. They're a little stock character-y, but not total cardboard cut-outs. It was disappointing for me to see Helen make the same mistake at the end of the book that she did prior to the start, as if she hadn't really learned anything, but since the novel ends promptly after that, the story never has to reckon much with it.

Edith, Helen's girlfriend, was probably the most developed of the characters despite how little page time she got, and I was relieved she wasn't just the damsel in distress/goal object for Helen, which I was a bit worried about in the beginning. Edith has secrets and goals of her own.

Overall, the book was fine, and it entertained me well enough for a few days. Nothing extraordinary here, but nothing objectionable either. I will say I think keeping it short worked best for this book—I think drawing it out might have only weakened it. A fun little twist on a typical noir novel.

On Saturday afternoon, on the bus ride home, I finished The Traitor Baru Cormorant, because I couldn't wait until I got home to reach the end, despite a long history of reading-induced car sickness. It was totally worth it.

The Traitor Baru Cormorant is all fantasy politics. There's no magic or fairies or prophecies, just Seth Dickinson's invented world and the titanic machinations of Empire. And it is electric. Tentatively, I'd make a comparison to The Goblin Emperor, except that where TGE is about how Maia, completely unprepared for his role, is thrust into a viper's nest of politics, Baru Cormorant is about how Baru has painstakingly taught herself the ways of the empire and enters into the game fully prepared to rewrite the rules to her liking.

Dickinson creates a wonderfully believable world. The Empire of Masks—popularly known as the Masquerade—is sickeningly plausible, with their soft conquests of money and ideas backed by a highly-trained and well-equipped military. The Masquerade is not content to conquer land—it must conquer minds, people. It is relentless in its push to force its colonies and territories to adopt its ways of thinking, to the point of dictating who may and may not marry based on their bloodlines. With this comes a heaping dose of homophobia, frequently enforced on cultures who had formerly been relaxed or even accepting of queer identities and relationships. This presents a specific problem for Baru, who is the daughter of a mother and two fathers, and who is herself a deeply closeted lesbian.

The story makes use of incredibly mundane tools in its schemes, something that also rings realistic. It's not all backstabbing, murder, and blackmail—at one point, a serious political threat is nullified through currency inflation. Baru, who becomes an imperial accountant, is in a prime position to use these seemingly dull tools to marvelous effect. Many schemes are strangled in the cradle, such that only the plotter and the defeater are even aware that they existed. But the game goes on.

In that same vein, Dickinson pays ample attention to the practical realities of economics, war, and rebellion, in a way that grounds the story in realism without letting it drag. The pace felt even throughout, picking up at the climax without ever feeling rushed. At the same time, despite the frequently detailed and excruciating groundwork various characters are laying for their plans, the novel never felt slow. Dickinson's prose is descriptive without being overwrought or tiresome. He keeps the reader on the hook figuring out Baru's plans or realizations without making it so obscure that a dedicated or observant reader couldn't figure things out along with her. I never felt like Dickinson was keeping things vague because he lacked answers or plans himself.

Given the above two things, potential readers should know this book runs almost entirely on machinations. If you are not significantly interested in plotty plotters plotting things, you may find this book duller than I did.

Baru herself is the epitome of ruthlessness. Her goals are noble—her desire to free her home, to end the tyranny of the Masquerade—but she will do anything to achieve those goals. She is a truly fascinating character, calculating, controlled, brilliant—and constantly tormented by the need to weigh her choices and the potential futures ahead. I loved watching her schemes build, play out, and adapt along with the developing situations. She is a fantastical chess player—but not without flaws and blind spots. Her character asks the reader a fascinating question about just how long the ends can justify the means, and what an individual is willing to sacrifice for their notion of the greater good.

There were moments in the book when I felt Baru's motivations were a little foggy, a little hasty, but I was willing to forgive that because the rest of the book was so enjoyable. It wasn't until the very end when I realized I had missed something, and all the pieces fell into place, and her motivations were perfectly clear and logical.

Equally interesting are the ways the characters around Baru plot and respond to her. There was one moment near the end when I gasped out loud at a twist, and then realized later I'd made the same error as some other characters in assuming its causes. The thing with Dickinson's twists is that they all make sense in retrospect. There were some "I can't believe that just happened!" moments, but nothing that felt like it came out of the left field or that was not supported by the narrative up to that point. Dickinson also does a good job of making sure the characters around his core plotter still feel like real players in the game. He never falls prey to Baru being the only one with schemes and long games ongoing—the board pieces are constantly shifting as others make their own bids for power and Baru must adjust her plans accordingly.

And this book has things to say. Baru Cormorant is an unrelenting condemnation of imperialism, economic and militant, and it never shies away from the extent of personal and cultural damage done to the victims of the Masquerade. Everyone trying to survive in the Masquerade's world is having to compromise themselves somehow, to some extent, and no one survives contact with the empire unscathed, even those who eventually turn its power to their own ends. The economic control; the eugenics programs; the targeting of youth to indoctrinate them with the Masquerade's values; the wars of conquest; the coercion, manipulation, and bribery that keep the people adhering to the Masquerade's will—all of it is brought to light and examined and called for what it is: control, control, control, no matter how pretty a face is put on it.

It is not, as you may have gathered, a happy book, but that's just fine with me.

I was hanging on every page by the end, and first thing Sunday morning I was off to the library to pick up the sequel, which I started the same day. I cannot wait to see how Baru's story progresses! Hats off for Baru Cormorant!

Have you ever seen such beautiful art, very polished and with vibrant colors that completely miss in conveying any emotion?

Man, I feel like an whole for saying this but this person has many followers and gets like 20k likes per post qhile doing every single popular ship in the fandom so they're not gonna get bothered by some random person on the internet trying to figure out why they don't feel strongly about their art. Lol

But seriously, I've followed them for a long time and couldn't put my finger on why I wasn't enjoying their art as much. And I think that's it. It's very beautiful aesthetically but lacks emotion. :|a maybe I'm just nitpicky. But.... Idk, man. I feel nothing when seeing it. Just "nice set, very clear " and that's it. HUMMMMMM FEELINGS SEE HADD TO CONVEY HERE.

The only way this person is able to convey their characters emotions is through dialogue rather than expression. Their characters will talk about being sad but will never look sad. There is no story telling as well. Just pretty portraits and informed emotions.

Man, I really do feel like an ahole for writing that but I just couldn't point out why it bothered me so much until now.

Also my back hurts. :((((

Trying to keep up with the news this weekend has been a wild ride. Not only in the sense of what's happening but in how it's being reported. I know, I know-- I should be used to the double standards by now. But omfg. These people may as well come right out and tell us all to ignore the evidence of our eyes and ears. You could teach an entire course about propaganda that covers just these past two years, with a whole unit-- possibly two-- on just the past few days.

Happy Father's Day!

Making pretty good progress on the first scrap blanket. Though I did get myself all disappointed when I realized I didn't have enough of certain colors to do something I wanted to. I almost considered buying more just for that, lol, but it's not like I can get the colors I want individually. Too bad. It's still gonna come out looking nice, of course, and that's what matters. This might be the blanket for my new nibling, haven't decided yet.

dustbunny105

What a day, huh? I feel like every time I try to gather my thoughts about it, I stumble across some news I haven't seen yet. I imagine a lot will change in the next few days too. I guess I'll just say for now that it's good, albeit in a bittersweet sense, to see something happening. Just. Some degree of accountability for someone.

dustbunny105

I feel sick with anxiety. I don't know what kind of news I should expect to wake up to tomorrow. The naive part of me keeps thinking, someone has to do something now. But of course these last couple of years have shown us they don't.

dustbunny105

Hey, y'know what really sucks when you're trying to ride out a headache of any kind? Fire alarms being repeatedly set off so inspectors can make sure they're working in every apartment. Peppercorn wasn't happy about it either, poor thing, but at least I was here for her.

Yeah, I ended up calling out again. Woke up with awful pain even though it was ebbing by last night. It faded before too terribly long to more of a pressure but that pressure was right behind my eyes. I could hardly see, never mind focus my vision. It's too bad since I felt well enough to go in for a half day but looking at things, especially on a computer screen, is kinda most of my job, lol. Took a nap and woke up with my eyes clear but it was too late to bother by then. At least I know I'm good to go for tomorrow.

Not really the point of being home but I was able to get some crochet done even when my eyes were wonky and that helped me to feel less restless. I've started working on turning those leftover mini-skeins into a blanket like I talked about. I think I might get some doll/plushie clothes out of them too. I forgot how much I like some of these colors, tbh, even if I no longer like the yarn itself. Gonna have to try to find similar options in a better quality product.

Since I did one for Minthara - here are the things that I love about Lae'zel's romance:

Her first encounter with Tav is trying to kill them, and then they end up together agkjkgf Forgotten Realms meet-cute.
She does NOT pussyfoot around about her interest in Tav. She's into them and not afraid to declare it. Bold move when they have to continue traveling together for days/weeks/months regardless of how Tav reacts.
The way she tells Tav where to kiss her during the sex scene. Yes.
When Shadowheart asks if Lae'zel didn't consider it "beneath her" to share a night with Tav, Lae'zel responds "They were beneath me, at times. But also above me. And standing, at certain points."
The fight. That she gets so worked up about having a crush on Tav and can't think of any way to deal with those feelings but fighting. "Get out of my school" energy. Nevertheless, whether Tav wins or loses, Lae'zel declares she doesn't really want to hurt them--she wants to protect them, and wants them to protect her.
How she has to brace herself to ask for softness and affection from Tav, after potentially scoffing at Tav's earlier request for cuddling. It's scarier for her to ask for a gentle touch from Tav than it was to proposition them.
Her FACE when Tav asks to kiss her publicly for the first time adjngkj She talks SUCH big game when they're in private but the moment Tav wants to publicly show affection for her she's O.O
Waking Tav up to watch the sunset with her!! Lae'zel is someone who rarely does things purely for the pleasure of it and at the beginning of the game, I'm sure she would have considered this a waste of time. But now she finds pleasure in it, and she wants to share it with Tav. "This couldn't wait" she says!
Her entire speech during the sunset scene is so incredibly touching. Her whole life has been about war--she'll boast about having killed classmates growing up because they weakened the githyanki as a whole--but now she sees another path, and she wants to share it with Tav.
"You showed me freedom." I will not quote the entire thing but this is so core to Lae'zel's feelings about Tav and her new friends and Faerun--this is the first time she's been shown another viable way of life besides the one she was raised in, and she likes it--even though she's good at the githyanki way of life.
The moment where she acknowledges her flaws, but also insists on her virtues. Lae'zel knows she is hard to get along with for Faerunians--but she also knows she has value.
How she struggles to define exactly how she feels about Tav ("There's more, but I don't know how to say it. I don't know what to call it.") She doesn't have the words, but she recognizes the feelings--she knows she feels something special for Tav.
Related to the above - her banter with Gale where she admits she'd never heard any other githyanki talk about being in love. She literally has no cultural script for what's happening, but she cares enough for Tav to push through these scary unknowns.
The forehead kiss!
How "source of my bruises" becomes "source of my joy" TT_TT
If she's turned against Vlaakith, she and Tav can leave to join the githyanki revolution together. Either a gith!Tav and Lae'zel, having saved a foreign world, now set off to save their own, or Lae'zel, having saved her lover's world, now brings her lover with her to save her own people.
Related to the above - her helping Tav onto the red dragon with her at the end! Lae'zel has dreamed of riding a red dragon her whole life, and the first time she does is with Tav.
If the egg from Creche Y'llek is taken, Lae'zel and Tav can raise it together. Lae'zel names it "Xan" for "freedom."
Gith!Tav and Lae'zel returning for the reunion as leaders among their people and of Orpheus' rebellion.

Maybe I was more worried about the fire safety inspection than I thought because I woke up today with a nasty, nauseous headache that turned into a migraine. Ended up calling out. I still don't feel great now, tbh.

Possibly the worst part, though? I tried to put a positive spin on it, thinking that I'd at least be home to set Peppercorn free after the inspectors came through. Then, when I double-checked the time? I realized I'd misread or misremembered the notice-- the inspection is tomorrow. Go figure!

rocky41_7

Things that make me insane about Minthara's romance(s):

"I wanted this, for myself." Even in the midst of her total brain fog by the Absolute, she knows she wants to be close to Tav. Even when she's been manipulated not to merely serve, but to serve in ecstasy, she wants to be near Tav and that is the one thing she chooses to pursue for her own ends--which are purely pleasure and comfort.
This could have easily been a victory bang one night stand, which might have tracked with her being the "evil" companion, but it clearly meant more to her from the very beginning. She stays with Tav after the sex, she snuggles, and she willingly bears her heart to Tav about her fears and anxieties regarding the Absolute and her place on the surface.
If Tav pries into her thoughts while she's sleeping, they see "the scars of a life spent anticipating betrayal." Life in Menzoberranzan trained her to expect a knife in the back constantly, and she remains paranoid about this even on the surface. But even so, she takes this moment with Tav, seeking to overcome her own fears about intimacy.
The skill check you have to pass to convince her not to kill Tav? 2. She is looking for a reason to not have to kill Tav, even if Tav spoke complete heresy to her. She wants to let Tav live, she wants to see them again at Moonrise.
Obviously, the big sad puppy eyes when she turns to see Tav during her castigation in Moonrise. Worst moment of her life and who steps through the door? The one person she has wanted to be close to maybe since she left the Underdark.
The way the two gnomes torturing her call out her "longing for acceptance and affection from a mortal," which confirms that her night with Tav always meant more to her than just a hook-up. She wanted more than just physical intimacy--she wanted something emotional. And that is what is being highlighted in her torment as one of her worst failures--that she, essentially, wants to be loved.
Related to the above - after Orin is killed, Minthara sort of laments that if not for Tav's strange act of mercy in saving her from Ketheric and Z'rell, she would have been just one more casualty in Tav's quest to destroy the Absolute, and "nobody would remember me."
"You came. I prayed that you would." I am howling at the moon. Minthara, the paladin, prays for Tav. For Tav to come rescue her. Minthara, who spurned Lolth, who has realized the Absolute was a lie, prays for Tav to come and save her.
The interplay between Minthara and a Dark Urge's respective relationships with Orin--how Orin's brainwashing and torment was what set Minthara on her quest for revenge against the Absolute, and how Durge was perhaps the very first of the cult's victims and all the amnesia they've struggled with throughout the game the result of Orin's torture.
Related to the above - if Minthara is the one kidnapped by Orin in Act III, that once again Orin has taken Minthara captive and once again Tav will free her.
The way Minthara tries to pry into Tav's mind again in Act III, only to quickly withdraw and apologize for not asking first. Minthara! Apologizing! That instead of letting it go, she still asks if she can be allowed to look into Tav's mind, because she is so desperate to see how Tav sees her. If Tav says they'd rather just use words to tell her, Minthara insists that the parasite connection is more true and accurate, and she wants to see that.
That she is hoping Tav sees her like a lover, and is openly disappointed if that's not the case. (Tie back to point 5.)
The way she begs to see herself through Tav's eyes, because "without Lolth, without the Absolute, without my home, I do not know myself." Her sense of self is so tenuous that she turns to someone else to help her understand herself--and that person is Tav, possibly the only person in the world she trusts.
The adoring look she gives Tav after some of their kisses, followed by the throaty "thank you." Thank you! She thanks Tav for their gestures of affection! (Tie back to point 5.)
That she is quietly poisoning Tav to build up their resistance in case they ever go to her homeland.
"I have never needed anyone, but I want you."
The way she is so all-in once her romance is locked in. Tav can become the Slayer, become Bhaal's chosen, become a mind flayer, choose to enslave the brain, choose to destroy the brain, go to Avernus--no matter what they do, Minthara is with them. They are her Person.
Related to the above - if Tav does become a mind flayer and tries to leave her on the grounds that they're a monster, she says "So am I, my love. Let us be monsters together." She "mourns" the loss of the parasite, because she yearns to share minds with Tav in their new state.
If a mind flayer Tav tells her they need to figure out who they are alone, without her, she pleads for just one day to change their mind.
If romanced by a Karlach origin who chooses to die rather than return to Avernus, Minthara is in tears as she promises to stay with Karlach until the end.
If Tav proposes they return to Menzoberranzan and conquer it after defeating the Netherbrain, Minthara casts off Baenre and declares "their" new house will be named after Tav.
During the epilogue, she seems rather keen to leave, and no matter what dialogue option is chosen, she admits to a romanced Tav what bothers her: she's afraid no one there likes her.

Fire safety inspection tomorrow. Aaand I've got stuff all over the place because of being partway into reorganizing-- not only my room either. And my mom is out of town, so it's on me.

I wish they would give more advance notice of these things. Be nice if they did them on the weekend, too, even though I get why they don't. S'just frustrating. I hate having to leave the front door unlocked, I hate having to lock Peppercorn up all day and I hate people being in here when I'm not here. Blergh. Might or might not be a good idea but I left the tidying up for the morning. My head was just not there tonight and I knew if I started, I was going to be so inefficient as to keep myself awake later than I should and probably still not get things done to my satisfaction. Even if getting things done mostly means piling the clutter into my closet. Some sleep and the urgency of the morning will help me power through it. Maybe I can convince my sister to hang out here with the kids until the inspectors come and go, so she can lock up and set Peppercorn free.

The Madleen has been hijacked and the activists aboard, including a member of EU Parliment, have been kidnapped by the Israeli military. Their communications were jammed, they were attacked with chemical weapons and they were ordered to throw their phones into the sea. I have no doubt in my mind that the aid they were carrying will be destroyed, if it hasn't been already. I'm unclear whether this assault took place in Egyptian, Palestinian or international waters but the fact either way is that Israel has no right to divert this mission. Not that it frikkin matters.

We all saw something like this coming but it's still so disheartening to see it happen. These activists come from France, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Brazil, Netherlands and Turkey. What we all can do now, what they've asked us to do, is to put pressure on their foreign ministries. The more eyes on them, the safer they'll be until their release.

Okay, now that the lighthearted post is out of the way. I am legitimately a nervous wreck about the Freedom Flotilla and about the protests in LA. I had more to say about this but nothing seems like it's enough. My thoughts are with all those fighting for life and justice right now. Please keep your eyes on them if you can, if you can't do anything else.

Farmers market trip was an overall success. It did rain and I did forget to bring an umbrella but it was never worse than a drizzle. I was more worried about the niblings than myself but no issues to speak of. My sister's littlest refused to keep the canopy of his stroller up and his siblings didn't seem to care at all.

Still no peppers but we got there early enough that we had a good pick of the other produce I was looking for. Got peaches, plums, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, lettuce, green onion and a handful of basil. I wanted cucumbers, too, but it was like they disappeared once I went back looking for them. Pretty sure what actually happened was that the couple of booths offering them were among the more popular and I overlooked them past the crowds that had gathered by then. I also saw two or three people with these big buckets of strawberries that I could not find anywhere and Idk what was up with that, lol. Ah, well, I can try again another week.

We had lunch and then I got dropped off at home. I was inexplicably exhausted-- granted, I got up earlier than usual-- and took what I wanted to be a short nap and ended up being a long nap. Go figure. After that, I got on to my reorganizing and... the results are mixed.

My focus today was my closet, since I'm eyeing some stuff on the shelves to be moved in there, and it took less time than I'd have expected, granted I hit a roadblock before I could be what I considered finished. It doesn't really look at a glance like I did as much as it feels like I did but the difference in how things are situated now feels significant. I put aside a lot of stuff for Goodwill, a few items for the local little free library and got some forgotten recycling out of my way. That'll be dealt with this coming week. I have more "to-sell" stuff taking up space than I remembered and I'm gonna sleep on what to do about that. Most of that is Transformers-related and I was planning to try to unload it at TFcon in October but, well, that's October. It's in my way now. I think I'll go ahead and list the bigger ticket items on eBay, take whatever doesn't sell there to TFcon, then just donate whatever doesn't sell there.

So! Tomorrow's goals are cleaning up my shelves and listing a few things on eBay. Not too many to start with. I tend to get it into my head that I have to list everything or nothing and, uh. As you may have guessed, I tend to pick nothing. I'd rather have something listed than nothing. I'll do some routine tidying up and dusting as I go. I should also fix up my yarn chest, tbh; I've barely crocheted at all this year and it's still gotten so chaotic that it makes me never want to crochet again, lol.

My ma says that I'm really good whenever I want to and honestly, before today I didn't believe her. Sooooo turns out I got my credit card confiscated (by my family, no less! lol) because honestly, I was spending too much. But I had to get gas so my ma gave me my bro's CC. Which didn't work. When I was already at the gas station. Getting charged for the gas.

I ended up paying cash but was so mad. So long story short: I ended up learning how to set up my digital CC in case I don't carry my physical CC. And I only did it because I was so mad that, the little bit of cash I had for the rest of the month was used on gas lmaooooooo
