"... Siffrin?" She asked.
He tossed the bucket aside and jumped off the branch. "Such is the name they call me. And you are?"
Mirabelle froze. Didn't... Didn't he... remember...
... He did have a bad memory. But... *that* bad...?
"... Mirabelle." She said. "... My name is Mirabelle."
"Well, then, Mirabelle." Siffrin smiled with a bit too many teeth. "Welcome to Streibough."
Real LAL fans know what i mean

I want to hack my 3ds but I’m scared….
I have the easy one where I just have to put things on my sd card and scan the QR code… but I only have 32 gigs on mine. Maybe I ought to buy a 128 gb or 256gb one.

+ 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.
+ Buffy the COVID Slayer: Sarah Michelle Gellar posts masked selfie on set of reboot. (SMG is a very small part of the article, but interesting nonetheless)
+ Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold.
+ In Defense of Despair.
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.

I have to admit that when all the hubbub of him being cast in Winter Soldier happened, I was entirely out of the loop. He didn't have much presence in my life growing up, despite me devouring movies. But it's been nice to read about his life since yesterday. I never knew about all his activism.
Robert Redford, Environmentalism, and the Most Prescient Movie Ever Made by Dave Leviton is a good write-up.
I may look into a few of his movies when I get home. Meanwhile, here's a All The Predident's Men vid: Me and Bernstein down by the schoolyard by
findmeinthealps.
eta Sneakers is a movie that's being mentioned a lot, I may seek that one out. Here's a writeup at PC Mag (makes sense, as it's about cyber security, I believe?)

In the past year or so I've been trying to limit myself to working on only one multichapter fic at a time. I have 3 going right now, actually. The order I wanted to go in for working on them is Our Time Together, Dead of Night, and then Getting a Scar Out of It. I love all of them, but they definitely all have very different tones.
I'm nearing the end of Our Time Together, but have been getting a lot of comments on Dead of Night. People really like that one! I downloaded it to maybe reread what I have and get back to work on it, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. I feel like my WIPs are more likely to get finished if I do what I've been doing by limiting myself to one at a time.
Though I do feel rather stuck on chapter 19 of Our Time Together...
Just thinking out loud! I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts though!

A particularly hilarious example of low-effort spammer/scammer.
Seriously considering how much spam I could effortlessly screen out if I set up my email to automatically delete ANYTHING with the word "Amazon" in it that isn't on a very small (like, a half-dozen people small) whitelist of family and close friends.

First, thanks so much for making me a gift! I'll love whatever you want to make, but here are a few general guidelines about things I prefer and those I'd rather not receive.

earlier:
- part 0: preliminaries
- part 1: brief demo: engraving software (Dorico)
Brief walkthrough of the start of a fake piano sketch in Cubase Pro that I'll build into a hybrid orchestral piece using MIDI and VSTs. I don't claim this is good music, just something for demonstration purposes and to talk through some of the technical details. This is musically unexciting but covering DAW basics will make the later hybrid orchestra bits easier to understand, hypothetically.
(Sorry, the audio recorded in mono; I will look at my audio interface settings again.)
For those curious about my usual style(s) of music, my music reel.
