I have arrived at the declaration of martial law on Earth in my rewatch of Babylon 5, and let's just say the whole show hits differently in 2025. I wish it didn't. Still my favourite scifi show ever, and I am having a great time watching it one episode a week.

I started a new project on my drop spindle, a blend of two different greenish Polwarth fibres, and I got to use my blending board for the first time in forever. I'm also spinning from rolags for the first time in forever but muscle memory is kicking in. https://img3.pillowfort.social/posts/ab03110d7b99327ae57b_small.jpeg

194 hours and 28 minutes: I finished my first run of Baldur's Gate 3 and I had so much fun with it

I took a long walk at the cemetery yesterday and I saw kingfishers! There are always a couple of breeding pairs there but I never saw them for more than the blink of an eye before, and never more than onw https://img3.pillowfort.social/posts/48b7cc7a58f36572ef54.jpeg https://img3.pillowfort.social/posts/0cdca09559a6904b0dda.jpeg

tfw you buy a mango, wait for it to grow ripe, take it to work as breakfast and then it's not ripe but already brown inside. At least my hissing roaches are enjoying it (they love mango more than anything)

I'm making pulled pork and after seven hours, it's just about done. Now it gets to rest under the covers of the bed for a bit while I successfully burned my tongue tasting the sauce. But it will be so worth it. I bought a bit more meat than I wanted and during preparation had the extreme first world problem of 'the roast doesn't fit into the opening of the 3l freezer bag'. It will be pulled pork for literal days.

Well, I guess Germany is the Chernobyl meme right now. We didn't fuck it up but we could have done SO MUCH BETTER. My home city is solidly socialist and green party, so there's that at least.

I went to the park yesterday to feed the crow army, but I didn't see the hooded crow. All the crocuses are in full bloom, and it was almost warm enough to walk around in a tshirt while the sun was out.

I weeded all the computer and programming books at the library, it was high time. My favourite find was a book on how to monetise Tumblr, that is so fucking funny to me. Tumblr! Of all things LOL

me: I will finish Kentucky Route Zero before I start another game also me: stars playing Pacific Drive Every time a piece of media is like *somethingsomething Exclusion Zone* I cannot resist. Chernobyl and the tail end of the Cold War as formative experiences I guess.

I sat and read for two hours for the first time in AGES - I do read a lot again but not for such a long-ishstretch at a time. Currently reading: Milkweed Trilogy by Ian Tregillis, it's a reread and I am enjoying it a lot. British warlocks vs Nazi supersoldiers. If you like Tim Powers, you might enjoy this one.

That took me longer to find than it should have because I looked for it as metal but it's crustpunk, apparently, which is a genre I barely know exists. But anyway: Watership Down concept album trilogy by Fall of Efrafa, you should listen to it. It's WAY softer than you probably think, long complex tracks, gloomy and emotional, I abolutely love it. = https://fallofefrafa.bandcamp.com/

I went for a walk this morning to feed the crow army (they do love peanuts in the shell). I also saw the first crocuses, a lot of snowdrops and winter aconites, and the witch hazels are in full bloom. Despite the bitterly cold wind, it felt like spring.
