Reading

THE BRIGHT SWORD by Lev Grossman.

I've read everything he's written since THE MAGICIANS, which is easily in my Top 3 Books, and his take on the Arthurian legends is so far hitting all the right buttons for me. (Minor spoiler, but any Aruthurian take with a trans Dinadan is automatically winning.)

Tech

Mostly just this site, but I'm doing a lot of homelab stuff, mostly via Portainer, which makes deploying containers really easy. And it's not Kubernetes!

Gaming

I really wanna run a Thirsty Sword Lesbian campaign. And a monthly poker game. But organizing groups for both is, to put it mildly, fucking impossible.

Recently, I finished playing LORELAI AND THE LASER EYES. If you're into fiendish puzzles, mysterious narratives, incredible gameplay...just look play the damn game, it's amazing.

Miscellanea

• A lot of energy is going into personal family issues at the moment, which is good and necessary but also tiring.
• Invisalign, at least for me, is absolutely worth the money, it turns out.
• Without further imrpovement, my lingual frenectomy was...not.
• It's weird having actual hope about the future of the country. It's not a lot but it's there in a way it wasn't when Biden was failing to meaningfully challenge Trump. Harris/Walz is a breath of fresh air.
