:: The black hats pool their resources. Part of the Unfair Trades arc in Mercedes, within the Polychrome Heroics universe. ::

Daniel Tamsen paused, one foot still hanging a few inches above the narrow brass strip that bridged the faux-brick hallway floor with the thick honey-colored shag carpet. The office in the basement of the “Forty-Niner Bar and Grill” was difficult to reach, even after descending a flight of steep, narrow stairs which could have been copied from the viciously steep stairwells installed when dividing a three story Victorian home into a dozen apartments.

The Federal agent swallowed down a litany of curses as he finished that last step. On the three windowless, doorless walls opposite him, paper maps had been mounted on the walls with wide bands of blue painter’s tape. Sheets of clear acrylic the same size as standard plywood covered every inch of the maps, and the glimpses of brown wood paneling from the mid-seventies, when the building had been completed.

“You’ve been busy,” Daniel Tamsen managed to say.

Oh yeah, the Hit and Run and the Ferry

The breach has been mostly contained. Flies have only numbered one now while the smells have been fainter. Our home is full of candles to mask the smell and it makes me feel like I'm ready to start covering my desk in healing crystals. We just came back from a water run thankfully now that the car is back from a hit and run.

Oh that's right, I didn't talk about the hit-and-run over here. It's been a bit dramatic over here, hasn't it? ( tldr: NJ driving, amirite??? )

Between that, there's been a lot of work and allergies have been keeping me down, so work's been obnoxiously slow.

We also realized an easier way to get to NYC aside from Edgewater which is GORGEOUS but also FULL OF GWB TRAFFIC when we found that Staten Island was relatively easier to drive through, so we tested a trip to the Staten Island ferry.

Let me tell you: Staten Island? Kind of in rough shape. But also? Not that different from driving around any other dense but underdeveloped Jersey town. Free ferry was crowded but free and very doable and parking is less stressful compared to Edgewater at comparable rates. I can tell it's also built around a mall to find people excuses to spend money while getting shots of the Statue of Liberty and I'm okay with this. Sadly, a lot of it closes up earlier than I think is good. Also, there's a minor league stadium right there and it looks like it gets frequent use, which is awesome AFAIC.

We kind of figured out a bit more in the process and realized that the St. George ferry goes ironically all the way to where Edgewater's ferry drops us off and is less crowded because you pay for it but also it's less crowded so we're being bougie and using that now. I think it's less annoying and more photogenic for us to take the ferry, so our weekends are going to be based around trying to utilize the ferry more. We'll have an excuse to check out Roosevelt Island again for the first time in awhile! Yay, pneumatic garbage!

Michelle's gotten stronger, which is awesome. She's now carrying close to my weight but a lot less sweatily. I am jealous, yes.

I'm going to add that I'm writing this post while waiting for a work macro to resolve, so I think I'm going to call it now since it's cleaned out enough. AMA

Take my business.

Things which I don't get to say nearly enough: "Can you break a hundred?"

To make things as simple as possible, I got paid in cash earlier today, and to make things really simple, it was a mix of twenties and hundreds to use as few bills as possible. I'll freely and happily admit it cut down on the volume of currency being exchanged. It also struck me that while $100 is a standard unit of currency, it's an atypical one, which isn't a combination of traits I see much.

My plan was to break them into twenties if the bank was open for customers, or deposit them intact in an ATM kiosk if it wasn't. On the walk to the bank, I decided to buy a luxury imported British film magazine at Barnes & Noble, and in thinking about how to pay for it, I asked the clerk my question.

Then I said it was fine, and handed over $21 to more easily make change for the $15.50 price tag. A much more ordinary type of payment. I took the hundreds to the bank and deposited them at the ATM, as I'd planned.

And for a moment there, just a brief moment, I had a glorious glimpse into another life where I always asked that question.

1. I want to not have a headache. I need better health.
2. I want AO3 to not be down for maintenance right now. I need entertainment when I have pain and dysfunction.
3. I want to not have to worry about whether I’m communicating clearly enough to overcome other people’s bad—faith takes and will to misunderstand me. I want people who disregard how much I hurt or how tired I am to have to put up or shut up.
4. I want Mom to stop smoking. I need to worry less about her and it not reassuring at all that she has to be on blood thinners bc she won’t give up nicotine.
5. I want to have a fancy TENS unit that can give my body sensations to a doctor ( @or other third parties) for the purpose of getting them to believe me about medical bullshit.

I have rewatched Doctor Who with 11 and Clara up through Name of the Doctor.
I say rewatched, but aside from remembering just enough images to be sure I watched before, they do feel new to me. I actually looked up my own review to see what I thought. I liked them very well the first time, and they are still solid stories, very enjoyable, and knowing what we know about the anniversary special they do stay on topic and click together in ways that wouldn't be obvious on first viewing. Topic and theme and mystery and answers. Rather well done.

So the not remembering is just my brain. It was my last year at college. Not my favourite, glad that's all done and dusted.

I like Clara better than I remember. She seems nice. She did a very big thing for the Doctor. And the kindness that sets her up for being someone who would, that has nothing to do with the Doctor being all sweep them off their feet, that is from the same place that has her looking after the kids and all. She's consistent and she makes sense. I remember her getting to be a bit... much, later, but I don't feel like that yet, which is nice. She did get three seperate intros that are all about making her memorable. The first two were, like, concentrated? Wowing us. The third when she sticks around unfolds at an easier pace. So I like her better now.

I liked Nightmare in Silver, but more as a collection of ideas than as what they actually did. The Emperor nobody recognises because they made the statues tall is an interesting role. Also a short actor on an SF show gets to play someone very much human. Improvement. I just didn't feel like the other characters were well done, like they'd only got a couple of panels each. But what caught my attention this time was the huge horrible thing done to end the war, and the Emperor who just sympathises with the guy who had to push the button.

Foreshadowing as most of the character moments, there.

Mr Clever was possibly not as well done. But the basic idea of the Doctor's face not having the Doctor behind it is solid. And actors always have fun with that one.

I have some feelings about how disabled people are being treated in this show, but the feelings keep on being sort of a bunch of squichy faces and wiggly hand gestures. Like there's a lot to unpack there, but.

I think I'd rather not.

The maths on people of color could also be better. Like I haven't sat down and checked but they might be running at 100% death scene again? Which is, oddly enough, a bit not good.
Also the suspicion that Strax reads even more badly if you read his skin color is... a thing.
And there's just a lot of very white episodes.

Many things have improved.

Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS had a lot of interesting though, like a quick tour of TARDIS parts to dream on, and a library where knowledge comes in bottles, and that one big highlighted book. A tree made of TARDIS DNA growing glowing egg circuits that can make anything. The swimming pool. And cracks in time that story falls through, not to be forgotten this time.

All lovely interesting stuff.

I hope it stays in my head this time.

Day 1626: "One big, ugly bill."

Thursday, July 3rd, 2025 04:38 pm

Posted by Matt Kiser

https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2025/07/03/day-1626

1/ House Republicans passed Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax-and-spending bill by a 218-214 vote after overcoming weeks of internal disputes and late-night negotiations to flip holdouts, which ultimately required direct pressure from Trump, who called the legislation “the biggest bill ever signed of its kind.” He said that flipping skeptics was “very easy.” All Democrats and two Republicans opposed a bill, while some Republicans criticized the process and policy, but voted yes anyway. The 887-page bill makes Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent, adds new tax breaks for tips, overtime, and seniors, increases spending for border security and defense, raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, cuts Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion, cuts SNAP benefits by $185 billion, imposes stricter work requirements for safety-net programs, and phases out most clean-energy tax credits. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill will increase the national debt by $3.4 trillion and lead to 11.8 million fewer Americans with health insurance coverage by 2034, while 3 million more would lose SNAP benefits. Speaker Mike Johnson characterized the megabill as “a key cornerstone of America’s new golden age.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries delayed the vote with a record-breaking 8-hour, 44-minute floor speech, calling Trump’s signature legislation “an immoral document” that would “end Medicaid as we know it.” He warned that “People will die,” and said Republicans were taking “a chain saw” to the safety net. “What is contemplated in this one big, ugly bill is wrong. It’s dangerous, and it’s cruel,” Jeffries said. “We don’t work for Donald Trump. We work for the American people,” he added, urging lawmakers to “vote no” on what he called “a crime scene.” After the vote, Trump told reporters he thinks the bill is “going to make this country into a rocket ship, it’s really great,” adding: “I think I have more power now.” Trump plans to sign his “big beautiful bill” on July 4th at the White House. (New York Times / Associated Press / Politico / NPR / Washington Post / Axios / NBC News / CNN / CNBC / Bloomberg / Wall Street Journal / Politico / Washington Post / Bloomberg / ABC News)

2/ The U.S. economy beat expectations and added 147,000 jobs in June, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. Most of the gains came from state and local government, health care, and education, while private-sector job growth slowed to its weakest pace since October. Manufacturing and federal employment each lost 7,000 jobs, and the labor force shrank for the second straight month as 130,000 people left. Trump, nevertheless, claimed the “economy is BOOMING.” (Axios / Washington Post / Wall Street Journal / Politico / Bloomberg / NPR / New York Times / CNBC / Wall Street Journal / CNN)

3/ Trump made “no progress at all” with Putin about ending the war in Ukraine. The call came two days after the U.S. paused shipments of air defense missiles and other weapons to Ukraine, Trump claimed the U.S. hadn’t officially stopped support and needed to “make sure we have enough for ourselves.” The Kremlin said Putin told Trump that Russia “will not back down.” (Axios / Wall Street Journal / New York Times / Washington Post / Bloomberg)

4/ The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to deport eight foreign nationals to South Sudan, overturning a lower court’s order that blocked the removals. Only one of the men is from South Sudan; the others are from Cuba, Vietnam, Myanmar, Mexico, Laos, and South Korea. They were held for six weeks in a converted shipping container on a U.S. military base in Djibouti. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote that the ruling lets Trump “send the eight noncitizens […] to South Sudan, where they will be turned over to the local authorities without regard for the likelihood that they will face torture or death.” (Politico / New York Times / CNN / Bloomberg)

a few things at the end of the week

Working this Saturday - about 4 hours. I get time off in lieu, which is better than nothing but also...kind of annoying. I didn't have that much on anyway, and can spend the day in my room, crafting and waiting for a ping of notifications.

Project Manager acknowledged the holiday. Still haven't received notification that my contract is being renewed though, but I can't imagine they have anyone else positioned to do my job yet...

All my holiday tours are paid for. Once I have the renewal of work contract, I shall go ahead and book/check my places to stay.

--

B2's strata management (HOA, but less about aesthetics more about practicalities) is wanting another payment for the 'collective kitty' for works around the building. I am personally of the opinion that this is being driven by a retiree who has invested in an apartment in the building and doesn't really care if the works are too expensive for the owner-occupiers, because she can just raise the rent on her renters and unless they want to be kicked out.

Anyway, that stresses B2 out and she comes and stresses on us...

(I tend to hide out in the study when that happens, I love B2, but she is very loud and present and I'm not always up for that. B1 seems to enjoy her being here...except when B2 is stressing on B1.)

And she won't accept assistance from the parentals (which I understand, because financial assistance to the parental generation tends to mean they feel they have a right to have a say in your life which...even I - living pretty much in a way they don't criticise as much - don't want that).

--

Will try to join in with

sunshine_revival but I feel...out of it. I'm not involved in any of the fandoms that most people are involved in, and my characters and pairings are all out of joint (mostly thx to TPTB, who never seem to see in my favourites what I see in them).

I have adjusted my sign-ups and profiles and stuff to state that I'm against AI. But even putting those statements out there feels like waving a flag telling people to kick me, I'm so used to having my fannish preferences weaponised.

Books, and brushes, and dumplings, oh my!

BUSINESS FIRST: The Uncle wishes everyone to know that there are still signed copies of Diviner's Bow available from his website. Signed books make wonderful gifts!

The preview is showing Fair Trade because the link takes you to a catalog page where all signed Lee-and-Miller editions are gathered into one happy place.

Here's the link.

Wrote +/-1060 very drafty words, which I am not adding to the Official Count until the scene is finished. Which it ain't.

So, questions on Tali's preferred brush. It's called a Safari brush, and is a soft, two-sided rubber brush. There are Tricks to using it. I use the brush, then I take a towel and just smooth it over the cat to get the last of the loose fur out. Tali likes both the brush and the toweling, which are both very gentle operations.

What's so special about dumplings? someone asks. No, not Bisquick dumplings. Chinese steamed dumplings, stuffed with chicken, or pork, or veggies, or combinations thereof. There are also sweet fillings available, but today I went with the savory -- chicken and mushroom. Very good; I expect I'll be a return customer.

The food truck court is right around the corner from a house that Steve and I seriously considered buying, Some Time Back. We decided that a house that had three steps between the kitchen and the dining room, and three steps from the living room to the bedroom, one step from the bedroom to the bathroom, and two steps down to the sunroom, might not be so good if one of us got sick. Nice house in many ways, including having a separate office wing, and an attached garage, but the stairs were a deal-breaker. But, man, what a location, twelve years down the road.

In more personal news, Ashley has left me; she has discovered that she's allergic to cats. This means I'll be doing my own housework (poor writer; like she hasn't been doing her own housework for 50 years), which isn't necessarily a Completely Bad Thing. I'd been looking for stuff to hang a Schedule on, after all.

Also! I will be taking a Social Media Free Day tomorrow in order to Concentrate on the WIP. For those who worry about me not having enough fun, I do have turkey burgers, and buns, and baked beans, so that I can be appropriately festive.

Everybody stay safe; those who are picnicking or otherwise celebrating -- have fun!

Let's check in with each other on Saturday.

Birthday Sale

Thursday, July 3rd, 2025 06:50 pm

As always on my birthday, I am having my annual birthday sale. This year, since I’m planning to raise prices post-sale ($3.99 for a novella, $5.99 for a novel), I decided to put everything on sale for one big final blow-out. So currently all my novellas are $0.99, and all my novels are $2.99.

Do you like Cold War spies falling in love on an American road trip, even though they're from opposite sides of the Iron Curtain? Then give Honeytrap a try!

If a Civil War soldier woke up from an enchanted sleep in 1965, how long would it take for him to cotton on that men are no longer allowed to touch? Find out in The Sleeping Soldier!

Are you interested in an m/m World War II retelling of Beauty and the Beast? Then Briarley may be for you!

How about a couple of boys riding the rails and falling in love during the Great Depression? Tramps and Vagabonds has your back.

Do you like watching post-World War I woobies suffer beautifully by the seaside? The Larks Still Bravely Singing may be warbling your name.

More Cold War spies, but this time CHRISTMAS! Deck the Halls with Secret Agents is a holly jolly short return to a favorite theme.

Do you like throuples and World War II and retellings of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? Then A Garter as a Lesser Gift may be coming to a Green Chapel near you.

Do you like throuples and pining and strawberry shortcake in post-Civil War America? Then give The Threefold Tie a try.

Do you want Cold War spies (again!), but this time they're the leads in the fandom that our two heroines are obsessed with? And kind of role-play as while trying out the joys of "your interpretation of this character is so incorrect" hatesex? Enemies to Lovers is calling your name.

You know it is when there's this new girl in school that you're sooo obsessed with because you both love art, and then you have an obsessive friendship ending in a terrible falling out, and then meet again years later in Florence? Have a gelato with Ashlin and Olivia.

And finally, a couple of oddballs. A retelling of Little Red Riding Hood in pre-Revolutionary Russia! Kind of f/f if you want to be! The Wolf and the Girl features forays both into the Russian forest and the nascent French silent film industry.

Last but not least, if your inner eleven-year-old yearns for a magical timeslip story, there's The Time Traveling Popcorn Ball

Birdfeeding

ysabetwordsmith

Thursday, July 3rd, 2025 02:49 pm

Today is partly sunny and hot.

I fed the birds. I refilled the thistle feeder. I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus a male cardinal.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 7/3/25 -- I took a few more pictures around the yard, mostly flowers at the end of the driveway.

EDIT 7/3/25 -- I dug up three pots of wild senna and one of purple echinacea that had seeded themselves in the savanna, hopefully to transplant them elsewhere if they survive.

I've seen a pair of mourning doves and a gray catbird. I also saw a very large bird, possibly a vulture or eagle, flying over the field to the west.

EDIT 7/3/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 7/3/25 -- We hooked up the new, flat water hose. The "non-kinking" label is a complete lie; it is the most prone to kinking of any hose I've ever used. Straightening it out enough to work is a bitch. However, it is extremely lightweight and completely flexible, so those are pluses. Also the multifunction water wand is by far the best nozzles I've ever used. I favor with "shower" and "flat" functions the most. The new picnic table garden and septic garden have been thoroughly watered.
