A team of narrators did an impeccable podfic of one of my stories! It’s a crossover between Star Trek: The Next Generation and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I have a lot to say about my mother's situation but I kind of feel I should post about good news, too, so: hey, I got a new-to-me car! (2022 Kia Niro.) It's getting amazingly good gas mileage (like, 56 MPG on average), which is good given the current situation.

It's bigger than I'm used to, though it is Not An SUV. Even so, it has more cargo space than the Prius, and it has both good rear vision and a lot more bells and whistles than I'm used to. F'rex, positively, it alerts if people are walking behind you; less positively, it dings if I go out of the lane line without signaling, but I'm trying to see it as, I should use my turn signals more anyway.

It also overheated last weekend while it was being humid out, but I fiddled with the caps to the radiator and that *appears* to have been the trouble, which is weird but there you go, and it has given me no angst since, and, I like it.

It's blue! (But a different blue than my Fit.)

Blue:

Lois McMaster Bujold, Dark Sight Dare. Kindle. This is a very nice novella. It is not twisty, it is not startling, it is a very kind story about people doing their best with difficult circumstances. I don't think it's the best place to begin the series, but it's a pleasant addition thereto.

William Dalrymple, Return of a King: the Battle for Afghanistan, 1839-42. Kindle. It's a really useful and thoughtful book, but what it is not is uplifting. Great Game my arse. Anyway it's still worth knowing this stuff, it affects the modern world and remains interesting.

Sylviane A. Diouf, Slavery's Exiles: The Story of the American Maroons. Oh this was so good. Oh my goodness, this was so good. Again not with the uplifting, except that in some ways it was, that people's determination to free themselves and their families was actually pretty wonderful, and hearing the details of how they did it--this should be taught in more schools all over North America, this was absolutely great. Some people fled completely naked! They just got out, and reading about their communities and lives was really neat.

Paul Farmer, AIDS and Accusation: Haiti and the Geography of Blame. Kindle. I was on vacation! I'm so much fun to take on vacation! This is a book about the early AIDS epidemic in Haiti and featuring Haitians abroad, and it does actual math and science about how the Haitian people were far, far more sinned against than sinning here. Not fun times but useful to know--and Farmer wrote a new preface about dealing with new pandemics, alas that he should have to.

Margaret Frazer, Shakespeare's Mousetrap. Kindle. The supposed secret history of Titus Andronicus and its role in (fictional) actual murder; I think this is my least favorite of her shorts, and probably I should just stop reading them, completeness is not an unmixed virtue.

Sarah Gristwood, Blood Sisters: The Women Behind the Wars of the Roses. Kindle. Queens and princesses and what they did and where they went, not enough breadth in my opinion but still better than nothing.

Reece Jones, Violent Borders: Refugees and the Right to Move. Kindle. This is a book from about ten years ago, and it's heartbreaking how real and deadly these problems already were then, and how much worse now.

W.F. Kirby, The Hero of Esthonia and Other Studies in the Romantic Literature of That Country. Kindle. You can probably tell from the way this is titled that it is a quite old book. It maddeningly is not the Kalevipoeg but rather a sort of summary of the Kalevipoeg. Kirby blithely informs us that he has omitted many irrelevant passages, some of which might have been of great interest to me, but this is very much a beggars/choosers situation. It exists, I could read this much at least, welp.

E.C.R. Lorac, Murder in Vienna. Kindle. Golden Age puzzle-type mystery. I did not bond with any of the characters, but it rattled along reasonably well and I will keep reading this author.

Casey McQuiston, The Pairing. Kindle. I continue to explore the boundaries of what romance I might like, and the answer here is: eh. It was briskly written, it was amusing, it was fine on a train...and I continued to want the character relationships with other people to matter.

Linda Proud, Pallas and the Centaur. Kindle. Second book in her "Botticelli trilogy," historical fiction set during the Italian Renaissance. This is mostly not fantasy (no centaurs were harmed in the making of this book) except for the bit where someone might be possessed by a deity from antiquity. I think it will work better if you've read the first one, so you know what she's doing with her fictional central characters in the middle of all the real historical figures.

Brett Rushforth, Bonds of Alliance: Indigenous and Atlantic Slaveries in New France. I didn't set out to have a slavery theme in the nonfiction reading in this fortnight, but I found this in the Museum of Archaeology and History in Montreal and knew I wouldn't find it again readily. It was really good at nuance and variation in ways that were extremely informative.

D.E. Stevenson, Miss Buncle Married. Kindle. The second in its very light series, and don't start with this one; you'll enjoy the central characters more if you have the perspective on where they started. Short. Fun.

Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, Monday Starts on Saturday. Kindle. A reread technicality: this is a very different, and much better, translation than the one I read a few decades ago. I feel like this is particularly crucial for speculative satire. Luckily for me, this edition translates the title as "starts" whereas the other translates it as "begins," so it will be easy to keep track of which one I want. Surreal and funny.

Claire Tomalin, Samuel Pepys. Kindle. I read this because I trust Claire Tomalin as a biographer, not because I have a particularly keen interest in Pepys, and it did not disappoint. Her sense of context, her ability to be thoughtfully positive where possible without losing track of her subject's flaws--she's one of the best in the business, and this is an interesting book even if you're not completely fascinated with Pepys.

Anthony Trollope, Doctor Thorne. Kindle. The ending spelled itself out in such clear detail from the outset that I can't really say it's one of my favorite Trollopes, but it's not one of my least favorites either, as he wasn't notably bigoted in any particular direction--and in fact he seemed to be arguing for acceptance of "illegitimate" children as full members of society. It was a reasonable thing to read on a plane.

Vanessa Walters, The Lagos Wife. A thriller set in Nigeria among the foreign-born wives of wealthy Nigerians. While the twist ending wasn't my favorite, the multiplicity of cultural perspectives was exquisitely well-done and nuanced. I'll keep an eye out for anything else Walters chooses to do.

When my doctor told me to get a mammogram, she warned me they were scheduling months in advance. Instead, when I logged on to MyChart yesterday, it offered a lot of appointments in the next few days, including several this afternoon at a nearby location.

I had nothing else planned for this afternoon, so I made an appointment for this afternoon, a convenient trolley ride from home. Unfortunately, it didn't warn me that I would have to climb a couple of flights of stairs, because the building elevator has been out of service since May 4. The mammogram itself was uncomfortable, but not as bad as I had expected. I think the main difference is that it was quicker than last time, which may be because they were using better machinery than the last few times.

Take five books off your bookshelf: I took 5 fairly random books from the various piles around the room I am in.

First sentence from Book no 1: 'Two women had arranged to have tea together, in the flat of one of them which was in a rather distant and not so fashionable quarter of the Left Bank'.

Last sentence from page 50 of Book no 2 -- last sentence on page fifty: 'Eleanor wrote that their great difficulty would be in managing their first break with their friends'.

Second sentence on page 100 of Book no 3: 'Canfield was polite, softening his rejection by saying if Sybille were to write a full-length novel one day he would be pleased to read it'.

Next to the last sentence on p 150 of book no 4: 'Because it's true, you know--he's not like any of them, he's completely alien to that whole bright, corrupt court'.

Final sentence of book 5: 'We have many more evenings before us if we want them'.

Make these sentences into a paragraph:

Two women had arranged to have tea together, in the flat of one of them which was in a rather distant and not so fashionable quarter of the Left Bank. Eleanor wrote that their great difficulty would be in managing their first break with their friends. Canfield was polite, softening his rejection by saying if Sybille were to write a full-length novel one day he would be pleased to read it. Because it's true, you know--he's not like any of them, he's completely alien to that whole bright, corrupt court. We have many more evenings before us if we want them.

I don't think any rearrangement would make that make any more sense

1: Beyond This Limit: Selected Shorter Fiction of Naomi Mitchison (I skipped the editorial introduction.)
2. Mary Gordon, Chase of the Wild Goose (about the Ladies of Llangollen).
3. Selina Hastings, Sybille Bedford: an appetite for life
4. Pamela Dean, Tam Lin
4. Barbara Pym, Jane and Prudence.

A small former mining town which is only gradually recovering from the total loss of its coal mining industry is hardly the place to expect, what can only be described as, a world class museum.

However, Barbara Hepworth was a world renowned artist, known mainly for her abstract sculptures. The museum named in her honour and containing a great deal of her work opened in the town of her birth in 2011. She was was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, England in 1903 and educated at the Leeds School of Art alongside her great friend Henry Moore. Her most famous work is located outside the United Nations building in New York which she created as a memorial to the former Secretary General, Dag Hammarsskjöld who was also a close friend of hers. She is best known as the sculptor who introduced the pierced form to her abstract works, a feature which was later adopted by Henry Moore and who sometimes, wrongly, gets the credit.

The building was designed by David Chipperfield. It is a great example of modern architecture which contrast very well with a group of magnificent former industrial buildings in brick (now including many work spaces for creatives) which are just at the southern boundary of the museum. The trapezoid forms of the concrete structure which forms the museum "dips its feet" on one side into the River Calder, directly alongside a very attractive weir and directly across the road from the famous Chantry Chapel.

The collection includes work from a range of artists including LS Lowry . Henry Moore, Ronald Moody and David Hockney. There is also much space for regularly changing temporary exhibitions (including rotation of the City's art collection) and a small sculpture garden outside.

The institution is deliberately described here as a museum rather than a gallery since great effort is made to enlighten the visitor as to the processes used in creating the art.

This museum is well worth the visit, particularly if you also take in the Chantry Bridge. Some seven miles to the southwest is the Yorkshire Sculpture park which is an outdoor space with many, much larger modern sculptures. If you are travelling by car it is easy to incorporate a visit here with a trip to the Hepworth.

Today is cloudy, mild, and wet. It has varied between light rain, pouring rain, and "the air is water" outside. We need the rain, though.

I fed the birds. I haven't seen any.

EDIT 5/18/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I've seen a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder, and a few small birds.

In 2000, Oslo was preparing for its millennium celebrations. During renovations of the City Hall (Rådhuset), it was discovered that one of the 49 bells was out of tune. The bell was promptly removed, and the original was placed in storage.

Twenty years later, the contemporary artist A K Dolven brought the bell back into public view. The 1.4 ton bell was strung on a 30 m cable at Honnørbrygga in front of Rådhuset, facing its original location. Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin wrote a song to mark the occasion; in it, the bells at Rådhuset gradually start communicating with the out-of-tune bell until they once again play together.

The location is highly symbolic, being the exact spot where King Haakon 7 returned to Norway after several years of exile during WWII. Today, anyone can play the bell by stepping on a guitar pedal which is mounted on the floor next to one of the pillars. Although the bell is out of tune, when played alone it has a rather beautiful sound which can be heard across the city.

It was really a dream experience, not quite once in a lifetime, but such a pleasure to finally see them with my own eyes and hear their real voices. Yes, it was the most people I've ever been to a concert with, but Stanford knows how to handle big crowds and a K-pop audience is not rowdy. Loud as absolute fuck, though! I wore my Loops ear plugs which are calibrated for a concert, but I had to take them out a few times for my favorite songs so I could hear them unfiltered and yow.

Because the 360 stage is so large I couldn't really see the group well with my own eyes, though. I could certainly see them dancing and moving around, but for their expressions I had to rely on the gigantic screens. That's kind of how it is for most of the groups I go to. Big group, big stage, big crowd, yet a real sense of intimacy at times. They talk to us between songs and not only to request that we make some noise. I am always amazed at how comfortable someone can be talking to tens of thousands of people. I have terrible stage fright myself.

The weather was gorgeous and there were really cool minimalist fireworks throughout the show, spiraling up directly over the stage. The confetti was swirling and fluttering everywhere because it was windy; normally it doesn't get much beyond the first ten rows. I made 25 bags of freebies and handed them out to people who were so excited to get them. I got 4 in return, which is far less than I expected and I really should know better. But all were handmade with love and I will never say no to joy.

John said he enjoyed the show. He's been listening to BTS music all week so was familiar with the recent album. He's now been to both the smallest and the largest shows I've been to. He was teased by a colleague that he must love his wife very much to go to this, but that's nonsense. He likes music and he likes new experiences. I've been to a million volleyball games that I didn't have to go to because we enjoy doing things together. But also, the audience was about 25% male. Plenty of men enjoy K-pop.

I'll see BTS again in September in LA and I'm looking forward to that, not least because it makes me feel fancy to fly into town somewhere for a specific exhibit or concert and then go home the next day.

Sims' Chapel

Aaron Sims followed the footsteps of fellow Scotsman David Livingstone by becoming a missionary doctor working in Africa. Unlike Livingstone, in 1882 Sims head instead to the Congo under the employ of the Livingstone Inland Mission (LIM). After working at another station in Congo for a small amount of time, the LIM sent Sims to begin a new mission in Léopoldville, itself established only a year before by Henry Morton Stanley. In order to prevent British missionary groups from establishing too much influence in the personal colony he was building, the Belgian King Leopold II mandated that these missions had to stay close to the colony’s own bases.

By 1884 the LIM was unable to support the site, and instead turned it (and the employ of Dr. Sims) over to the American Baptist Missionary Union (ABMU). Eager to replace wooden structures vulnerable to termites with something more permanent, in 1891 Sims worked with local students on brick production allowing construction on the chapel to start by the end of that year. The new chapel could accommodate 50 Congolese church members. Sims worked in Congo for another three decades, dying in 1922.

In the subsequent 135 years since the chapel was built the city has grown and, at independence, was renamed Kinshasa. With the center of the city having move eastward, Sims’ Chapel now finds itself still in the city but in the quieter commune of Ngaliema. Still hosting worshippers, the chapel remains little changed from when it was built and, having survived all these years, has become the oldest permanent structure still standing in the city.

Let’s Talk About Our Favorite Used Bookstores

Hestia sniffed my hands all over, but after some proprietary headbutting allowed herself to be petted with insistent slinks of her back and escalating purr. I had met two strange cats this evening at

skygiants and

genarti's.

We did not actually watch one of the several productions of As You Like It in

skygiants' possession, the notional goal of the hangout. We ate a bounty of deli from Mamaleh's—the bagel with chopped liver was successfully foraged despite the ravages of commencement weekend—and got as far as watching a 26-minute stop-motion Twelfth Night with a voice cast to die for, which turned out to be one of the Shakespeare: The Animated Tales (1992–94) adapted by Leon Garfield which I had been recommended last month. Then we were diverted by talking about books mostly of our childhoods and in the process I learned that prior to launching his nowadays much more famous career as a Nesbit-inspired children's fantasist, Edward Eager was a dramatist and lyricist responsible among other musical comedies for the Offenbach-in-English To Hell with Orpheus. It never seems to have made it to Broadway, but was one-shot premiered in 1953 by the irresistibly named St. John Terrell's Music Circus of Lambertville, NJ. I am captivated by this fact. I was also captivated by the strange cats, although Mina jinked out of any room I entered until very near the end of the evening, when she permitted me to stroke her very soft tuxedo-black head for about ten seconds before she headed for the refuge of the bedroom closet. So long as I didn't tower over him, Mr. Dash was more than content for me to attend to the covert white splash of his belly and his plush void back, although he seemed disappointed that leading me through the kitchen with a succession of soulful looks did not produce my feeding him. I had an out-of-season latke. It was an incredibly nice time.

genarti had made me a cup with the Uffington White Horse.

Finished Three Moments of an Explosion by China Miéville, a collection of short stories technically ranging from flash fiction to novellas. The absolute best story was the last one— "The Design," a strange and spooky tale with far more than it says out loud (as it were) lurking at the edges of it; tl;dr, in early 20th century Glasgow, a med student discovers a cadaver with scrimshawed bones— but I would say my other favorites were "In the Slopes," about an archeological dig in a world a few ticks stranger than ours, and "The Rope Is The World," the brief, vivid history of life finding a way inside an abandoned space elevator. I also particularly enjoyed the stories that committed so wholeheartedly to a weird premise— the previously mentioned therapist-assassins; apocalypse by plague(?) where, if the infected stays in one place for too long, a circular trench starts to dig through whatever they're standing on, which as you can imagine is not great on, say, the upper floors of a building or in a moving vehicle; a kaiju story where the kaiju are the animated remains of scuttled oil rigs— that they landed on genuinely compelling. Overall, I'd say the flash fiction was the weakest part, at least personally, although there were some standouts: I liked the title story, and loved the variation(s)-on-myth of "Four Final Orpheuses."

Where in the world has Catherine been? Working mostly. Trying to keep track of ill, injured or moving out of the country friends (please stop with all this and the dying :-( ). Writing, reviewing SO MANY grant proposals, having a yard sale. In short, all the things. Had a very nice day tabling at Rochester Pride yesterday. And at the end of the day, the mom of a teen trans kid who I talked to at Rochester Pride some years back and gave some advice to about venues and marketing for her son's artwork (which was good even then - I still have one of his stickers). Turned out they took the advice, the son now has a burgeoning commercial art career, got a residency with TC Pride and all and is thriving. So that was lovely to hear. :-D

Anyhoo, this weekend is virtual WisCon!

Here is my Friday and Sunday schedule:

What's New in Queer Speculative Fiction

Online Zoom Room 3 • Reading, Viewing, and Critiquing Science Fiction • Fri 7:00 PM–8:15 PM

A discussion of everything new and exciting in queer science fiction, fantasy, and horror over the last two years. What great new stories are being told? Who are the exciting new voices to look for? What themes and tropes are popular right now? Panelists will share recommendations and analysis, as well as their thoughts on what they'd like to see more of in the future.

Never-Too-Late Futures

Online Zoom Room 7 • The Craft and Business of Writing • Sun 4:00 PM–5:15 PM

Publishing discourse loves "30 under 30," but many speculative fiction authors publish their first novel in their 40s, 50s, 60s, or later. This panel invites older debuts and late-blooming writers to talk about craft, career realities, disability and energy, caretaking, and ageism in the field. What pressures and freedoms come with starting "late," and what does a sustainable, politically engaged writing life look like beyond the hustle?

Queen of Swords Press will also be in the virtual Dealer's Room with books and deals! Come say hi!
And now to bed in hopes of kitty letting me sleep in a bit past 4.

A couple of days I ordered a Hong Dian M1 fountain pen. For those of you who didn't follow the link, it's an aluminum travel-travel fountain pen that's just over 4 inches long when closed. This is the third travel-sized fountain pen I've bought, and if I'm not happy with this one, then I'm going to write off travel-sized fountain pens entirely.

Anyway, it arrived today, and it looked great, so of course I had to fill it so I could see how it writes. I had a bottle of Noodler's waterproof ink that hadn't really worked with my Lamy Safaris, so I decided to try it with the Hong Dian. And it might have worked, except that the converter wasn't fully installed, so when I tried to fill it, then pen fell off the converter and into the bottle of ink. So I carried the bottle of ink into the bathroom, got a paper bowl, and poured the ink into the bowl so I could get the pen out. Once I had the pen out and cleaned, I tried pouring the ink from the bowl back into the bottle, but my hand slipped and I ended up pouring the whole bottle down the sink.

After cleaning the sink, I installed the converted and filled the pen with Pilot Iroshizuku ink. It worked well, and I'm very happy with it so far.

Also in pen news, Lamy has introduced the 2026 Special Edition Safaris. Apparently their theme for this year is "1983," because the colors of fluorescent yellow and fluorescent pink.

Today is partly sunny, breezy, and humid. It's warm now and supposed to reach the mid-80sF later.

I fed the birds. I haven't seen much activity yet.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I dug a hole in the pawpaw patch.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I planted the pawpaw.

I startled a bobwhite quail in the savanna, which scuttled into the deep shade of the Midwinter grove. :D 3q3q3q!!! The bright white markings make me suspect this was a male. It is not normal for them to live alone, so I don't know where the rest of the covey is but it's probably around somewhere. This is the first one I've ever seen in the yard, how exciting! But it turns out we've had them all along. I've heard the clear "bob-white" whistle frequently, I just thought it must be some other bird because quail seemed unlikely. I'm delighted to have them around.

I've also seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, plus a starling, at the hopper feeder.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I trimmed grass in the savanna around where I want to plant a serviceberry seedling.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I dug a hole in the savanna.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I planted a serviceberry in the savanna.

I've seen a male cardinal, a robin, a mourning dove, and a fox squirrel.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I trimmed grass in the savanna around where I want to plant the second serviceberry seedling.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I dug a hole in the savanna.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I planted the second serviceberry in the savanna.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 5/17/26 -- I sowed the four big pots around the septic garden with Green Striped Cushaw, Tiny Butternut, Landrace Zucchini, and Lofthouse Landrace Muskmelon.

I did more work around the patio.

As it is now dark, I am done for the night. *goflopnow*
