    I told my husband I bought new spicy underwear and he just gave me a deadpan look and said "It has chili peppers on it doesn't it." And that's why we are married.

    Just spent 6 hours in an ER (I'm fine) and witnessed, in no particular order:

    A nurse bit by a patient

    A patient screaming MURDERERS from an exam room

    Two nurses patiently dressing and re-dessing an elderly man who kept stripping

    Someone yelling at a student doctor about wait times

    Urine being spilled on the floor

    Someone yelling "the patient made a run for it!"

    A patient trying to call the cops on doctors

    Whatever we think hospital workers should be paid, it's not enough.

    In advance before April's blog series on women's epics, I am curious if there are any that people know, or want to know about. :)

    Do you know any epics about women? Name them in comments and I'll tell you if they will be included!

    (And by "epic" I also mean sagas, shamanic songs, monogatari, and chivalric romances.)

    Also, re: mistletoe

    Yesterday I learned that not everyone knows mistletoe is a tree parasite. Which is interesting to me as a storyteller. In Norse mythology, the god Baldr is killed with mistletoe (thanks Loki...). His mother, Frigg extracted an oath from everything under the sun to not harm her child. But she skipped mistletoe because she didn't consider it a separate plant.

    Taxonomy saves lives, people. :D

    It feels like these days every time I talk about having a writing challenge, or working on a difficult part of research or plotting or composition, people's go-to answer is "just ask ChatGPT!"

    To which my go-to answer is no.

    This irks me a lot more than it should, probably. But it does.

    With all the joking about the ups and downs of toddlers, honestly the thing that absolutely terrifies the shit about of me about #parenting is...

    ... parent group chats.

    So, by law in Hungary books with any #LGBTQ content have to be sold with the warning "Non-traditional content!"

    On top of being sinister, his system is also:

    1. Ironically useful, because Hungarian bookshops didn't have queer sections before, so the label actually makes queer content a lot easier to find

    2. Low key surreal when the label is put on folktales, Greek mythology, or biographies like Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls...

    3. Useless and dumb

    Health advisory: "This flu strain is known to cause myocarditis. Check your pulse to see if it is unusually elevated."

    Me: You mean, like a person with an anxiety disorder checking her pulse to see if she has a serious heart condition?...

    HA: Also, do you feel unusually exhausted?

    Me: You mean, like a sick mom whose toddler gets up at 5am and has been home sick for a week?

    ... I'm starting to suspect moms with anxiety are hard to diagnose.

    I am taking a deep dive into the Philippine stories about Maria Cacao. A goddess / fairy / mythical figure who grows cocoa and transports it to America on a golden ship. Fascinating stuff 😄

    There is an entomology article from 1987 titled

    "An Apparent Lowering of Moral Standards in the Lepidoptera"

    It's about same-sex activities among butteflies.

    I think this one has a lot of potential mileage. Punk rock band names? Queer Regency romance novel titles? Fictional Victorian gang names?

    I am doing the shameful process of sorting through my kitchen cabinets and getting rid of stuff that expired like 4 years ago... 😬

    Edit: I need emotional support for this 😆

    So, this year I inherited the Polymath Reading Challenge from its creator. 📚

    It is a yearly 12-book nonfiction reading challenge. You read books of your choice for 12 categories, and post your reviews of them. I have had immense fun finding books for topics I otherwise wouldn't read.

    Would people want to join in if I also ran it on Mastodon?
