+ Relooted has a demo up! Reclaim real African artifacts from Western museums in an Africanfuturist heist game! I won't be able until I get home, but I've been super excited since I saw the trailer.

+ Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out.

+ Longer, heavier periods are long-term symptom of Covid, study finds.

+ These are the 1st images of humpbacks having sex, and they're both males.

We are also reading Aracelis Girmay’s “You Are Who I Love,” in which the speaker unfurls a list of people they love, people they want to see survive, people doing what those not committed to close and tender attention might call the daily tasks of living: a person stirring a pot of beans, a person selling roses out of a cart, a person crossing a border, a person carrying their brother home, a person singing Leonard Cohen to the snow. You, reader, do not personally know these people, but their motivations spark a familiar feeling—here is someone trying to survive in a world that can render a person unable to get out of bed. You, too, may love a person who cannot get out of bed, which is why you cherish the things that convey, I am trying to stitch together enough small moments to have a life for a little bit longer.

+ No Platonic Explanation.

Um, hi! Accidentally slipped away from DW again, as one does when the brain decides it's time to visit slump-town. And then it's always tricky to pick back up! But I'm here, having been lured back by a friend request (❤️).

+ Currently working, yay!

+ Currently sick and voice-less, boo!

+ This is a double-shift as I swapped it around to attend my dad's wedding in November. It's in Thailand, and I'll be there a full month. I plan to get absolutely kneaded into oblivion, my body will be jelly by the end of it. Just good food, swimming, and massages.

+ If I can actually manage to Get The Thing Done at home, instead of avoiding and courting disaster, it's sure to be a relaxing time. So I need to get on that, Monday morning *stern glare at self*.

+ Started reading The Archive Undying. It dropped me face first into weirdness, and I'm loving the writing. All very much appreciated.

+ We're at the tail end of the general election here in Norway, and it's looking plausible we could get a RedGreen coalition! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it could happen.

+ There's a new community for Community, and there's a Friday Five/intro post up, come hang.

+ Really enjoying Haley Williams' Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party and CMAT's EURO-COUNTRY. If you're looking for an absolute banger about grief, Lord, Let That Tesla Crash is at your service.

+ Working my way through Apple this trip, with Foundation being my weekly download. I'd say overall the weakest season of the three, but Demerzel is holding my interest.

+ Tonight should have a red full moon, so I'm hoping it won't be cloudy here.
