I mean. Personally I’m not opposed to a Jason with tentacles… ima take myself to ao3 about it, now :)

Oh fuuuuck it’s not just me?! How do we fight this, do you have an inkling?

The very last radiators (on the branch that we at least *understand* why it’s recalcitrant) have given in: the big one 2 days ago, tepid at 1st & warm yesterday, & the small end one, finally warm today!
I *think* I grokked how to set the thermostatic valves? Kitchen warm too, all good 👍🏼
🤞🏼it lasts!

Arsène the floofy somewhat Siberian cat is curled up head up and side-eyeing the viewer with his blue eyes while the camera person pets the side of his head

Arsène side-eyes yr intrusive thoughts with biting intent!

Pl Halp my friend Virginie!

Arrrghhhhh that is infuriating!! Are they coming soon at least??

Yay!!

I did like, 5 things on my list today, but of course there’s a big one left that I’m really procrastinating on

It’s unseasonably warm out (and beautifully sunny) right now, with a forecast of a fortnight of higher temperatures.
Of course I ended up sans heat at the coldest time and now I have it it’s warm out. Of course.

*loading a pistol and getting back on the Paris Métro* Louvre's cursed

Encore un thread d’utilité publique par @hmedievaliste.bsky.social -ce qui se passe est très grave et déstabilisant pour la crédibilité du travail des historiens

Portrait d’une femme assise portant une espèce de chemise cœur croisé blanche avec une espèce de veste noire à double rangée de boutons manche courtes. Un peu de froufrous de chemise dépasse de la manche qui n’est pas cachée par un voile noir, et sa poitrine n’est recouverte que de la chemise (visiblement avec quelque chose dessous, qu’on devine en transparence. Sans doute un corset). Elle porte une grande jupe noire visiblement sans panier et une écharpe rouge à la taille

JACQUES-LOUIS DAVID Portrait de Jeanne Robertine Tourteau d'Orvilliers, née Rilliet (1772-1862) 1790 Huile sur toile Les clients de David sont, pour beaucoup, issus des milieux financiers, comme les sœurs Rilliet, filles d'un banquier protestant d'origine suisse. David peint leurs portraits, ici présentés en vis-a-vis, à l'occasion de leurs mariages avec de jeunes nobles français. Au hiératisme légèrement distant de Mme Thélusson, David oppose la pose plus détendue de sa sœur, assise, les jambes croisées et une expression plus mélancolique, rendue par son regard et le décentrement original de la figure. Le portrait repose sur un accord de noir et de rouge sur un fauteuil bleu. Paris, musée du Louvre, département des Peintures R.F. 2418 Portrait of Jeanne Robertine Tourteau d'Orvilliers, née Rilliet (1772-1862) 1790 Oil on canvas David's clients were in large part drawn from the financial world, like the Rilliet sisters, daughters of a Protestant banker of Swiss descent. David painted their portraits, here presented facing each other, probably for their marriages to young French noblemen. To the slightly distant formality of Madame Thélusson, David opposes her sister's more relaxed pose, seated with crossed legs and a more melancholy air, expressed by her gaze and the unusual off-centring of the figure. The portrait is based on a harmony of blacks and red against a blue armchair

🇫🇷Question histoire des vêtements : comment ça s’appelle, ce qu’elle porte en haut ? (Et où puis-je trouver des patrons ? 🪡)
🇬🇧Fashion history question: what do you call what she wears on top? (And where can I find patterns?)

absolutely the superior christmas action film, hands down.

what is even going on y'all

So in summary: YAY HEATING!
boo mysteries.

Hope I can get a proper conversation w/ a knowledgeable guy who can tell me WHY I need to cheat w/ the boiler to get this result, but yeah. I feel better, even if I’m annoyed at the mysteries.

Thank you for being there, friends 🧡

Okay, update!! There’s still a problem branch of the circuit refusing to heat up at all in the great room BUT by experimenting with the thermostatic valves on each radiator I managed to get the KITCHEN to warm up! I have heat (nearly) everywhere!
Since I leave Friday I’m not calling them back yet.

Stayed up too late *despite* melatonin AND despite firm plan I’d made to sleep earliER instead 🤦🏻‍♀️
So… hungry again, leaving bed for a snack.
Hope I’ll manage to be productive “tomorrow” with all that but I kiiiiinda doubt it, sigh

Ha! Killjoys was my first thought too but.. it’s a fandom adjacent thing to me, and i didn’t find it easy watching bc i got involved and it was more complex than is easy for me :)) funny

Yes! Give it a try maybe :)

Oooh Cc, of COURSE duh

What’s cc? But anyway may be worth a try then! Also I rly enjoyed Poker Face and of course there’s old and new Leverage, I dunno if you’ve watched it or if it would be new to you. Oh and the Librarians next chapter

What sort of genre? For me easy means either I rewatch sthg I know well or a procedural- or both; my go to is Elementary :)
But also The Good Place, Community, Brooklyn nine-nine

A collection of 12 D12, each coming from a different set of dice, each showing a different digit from 1 to 12. Most notably there are 3 bigger dice, an ornate black&white, a black die with orange numbers & Halloween themed decorations, and a green marbled shiny one with gold numbers & deco.

I think I’m good with my dice collection for now; what I need is to find a way to use them :)
In the meantime though, it’s made me happy to slowly build it up. Here’s all the d12, my favorite shape of them all. Not a great picture bc it’s tough to photograph, it turns out!

The information in this video applies everywhere in the US, not just NYC. The examples of what a real warrant looks like vs the ICE permission slip is very helpful.

I’m sick so:

Make of this what you will but the kisses line means “tell the worms that will eat you with kisses” :))

You make the thing because you love the thing
and you love the thing because someone else loved it
enough to make you love it.
And with that your heart like a tent peg pounded
toward the earth’s core.
And with that your heart on a beam burns
through the ionosphere.
And with that you go to work.

The thing with French ppl saying there’s no racism is such enormous bullshit, it makes my blood boil :(((
France is such a racist country!!! SO racist!!! And parts of those who abhor racism in theory ascribe still to the “there’s only one human race & I don’t see color” crap so it’s not great D:

I stopped putting my photo in years ago - but my anecdote is not enough bc now as a translator I’m a freelancer (well, an independent). I do think it’s not as expected nowadays though
