Finished making & putting into jars around 10pm.

The recipe said 1kg of fruit should make around 4.5lb of jam.
I started with 2kg of fruit & ended up with 23 half-pound jars 🤔

Good thing we like blackcurrant jam 😆
Looking for something in the freezer yesterday, I dropped a plastic tub on the floor. Unfortunately for me the tub shattered, spilling 2.5kg of frozen blackcurrants.

So after several hours yesterday checking & cleaning the fruit, I've not got an unplanned after-work jam-making session.

Fab book. Brilliantly written world-weary lead who just wants to quietly get on with her life & finds it very inconveniant that she has to save the world first.
Do you like fantasy adventures?
Do you like murder mysteries?
Do you like a world-weary hero who's done with other people's BS?
Then do I have the book for you!

New cover, new publisher, same battered protagonist - The Executioner's Blade returns in October.

Look, I am absolutely here for sex scenes with imperfections, comedy moments, and non-purple prose. I think a bit of relatable realism can totally ground a romance!

That said, there are limits, and what I mean is, I never EVER want to encounter the word "crusty" in this context again.

It's so not fair how accurate these findings are!
Researchers have discovered that the more you tell yourself what to do via rainbow-coloured blocks of “focus time”, the more your brain will rebel and restrict you to playing House Flipper until your eyes bleed.
Study finds colour-coded calendar not going to save you from yourself
A recent study has reportedly found that the beautiful colour-coded schedule you made to help you get your life together is not a substitute for a working frontal lobe. Researchers have discovered…

Btw it’s interesting the way ‘don’t bodyshame’ principles fall by the wayside when we’re talking about men.

We talk about men’s insecurities like they’re moral failings, but talk about women’s (correctly) as the harmful byproduct of a fucked up society.

Why?

NEW blog! Very smutty!

I wanted to do something teasing and #femdom… accidentally wrote erotica about getting your round in at the pub.

Also, I may as well say that I don't think it's possible to only watch films that align with my every belief. That's not the point. My issue is that the classic film fandom will frequently silence discussions of problematic older entertainment, circle wagons around certain films and actors, etc.

Tomorrow (19th September) is #TalkLikeAPirateDay and your annual reminder that when we talk the way we talk when we're talking like a pirate, it's because of a film that was based on a book, inspired by an earlier book, inspired by a real life pirate from #Orkney!

ARRR! 🏴‍☠️👇

If you ever need your faith in the sciences restored after having it so violently compromised by techbros masquerading as technologists, I encourage you to check out the breakthrough after breakthrough ongoing in oncology. 
A cancer vaccine succeeded in a clinical trial in preventing the recurrence of melanoma, a result experts say is a breakthrough for mRNA-based treatments.

Trials for lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and other diseases' vaccines are also underway.
A melanoma vaccine was hailed as a breakthrough. Which cancers are next?

As a queer Canuck, something I note every queer workshop I run—there's always one person saying "such a small percentage of people"—is a basic fact:

There are more trans people than there are Canadians.

Canada is 0.5% of the world's population. Trans people are—conservatively—estimated at ~1%.

Momentous day!

The bakery who supply our village shop have started doing teacakes again! 🎉

(They had stopped teacakes & a few other lines during the heatwave this summer, to help improve working conditions.)

Sharknado is fiction, not a manual!
It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Had a letter last week from the water company, saying there's a problem with our direct debit & they're not able to take the payments but they can't tell us what the problem is because of "data protection".

Very mystified as payments have been taken every month according to schedule...
