<h2>Reading</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554241/the-bright-sword-by-lev-grossman/?cktype=prod&ref=PRH115DBB8203CD&linkid=PRH115DBB8203CD&cdi=4DF51DB6C8882719E0534FD66B0A1B04&template_id=28415&aid=randohouseinc9932-20">THE BRIGHT SWORD</a> by Lev Grossman.</p>
<p>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. (<em>Minor</em> spoiler, but any Aruthurian take with a trans Dinadan is automatically winning.)</p>
<h2>Tech</h2>
<p>Mostly just <a href="https://forge.sigill.zone/phoenix/jol/"> this site</a>, but I'm doing a lot of homelab stuff, mostly via <a href="https://portainer.io">Portainer</a>, which makes deploying containers really easy. And it's not Kubernetes!</p>
<h2>Gaming</h2>
<p>I <em>really</em> wanna run a <a href="https://poweredbylesbians.com/">Thirsty Sword Lesbian</a> campaign. And a monthly poker game. But organizing groups for both is, to put it mildly, fucking impossible.</p>
<p>Recently, I finished playing <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2008920/Lorelei_and_the_Laser_Eyes/">LORELAI AND THE LASER EYES</a>. If you're into fiendish puzzles, mysterious narratives, incredible gameplay...just look play the damn game, it's amazing.</p>
<h2>Miscellanea</h2>
<ul>
<li>A lot of energy is going into personal family issues at the moment, which is good and necessary but also tiring.</li>
<li>Invisalign, at least for me, is absolutely worth the money, it turns out.</li>
<li>Without further imrpovement, my lingual frenectomy was...not.</li>
<li>It's weird having actual hope about the future of the country. It's not a lot but it's <em>there</em> in a way it wasn't when Biden was failing to meaningfully challenge Trump. Harris/Walz is a breath of fresh air.</li>
</ul>
