Well, that was fun… Anyone else feel the earthquake that just rocked the Northeast area?

It wasn’t a tremendously big earthquake as these things go, but for our area, it was enough to be felt. The initial quake felt somewhat like being on a ship, to be honest. Everything moved just enough to make you think you needed to get your sea legs. There was one aftershock, in the evening, that was similar, but most of the aftershocks weren’t noticeable. And fortunately, there was very minor damage closer to the epicenter, and no deaths.
This was actually my third earthquake in NYC. The first one was in 1985, and that one rattled the glassware. It was only 4.0, but the epicenter was closer to the city. There was one in 2011, and we didn’t even feel that one. We were actually at the pool, and someone saw it on Facebook.

I’m happy to stick with one earthquake! And hopefully that’ll be the last one for you.

April 5th… would’ve been on my way to watch the eclipse (yes, headed out early)

I wonder who holds the record for most category requests? Because I’m starting to think it might be me.

There are those moments that make me wonder… Why is google maps putting the dining symbol on a pet shop? Go for the amazing sensation of goldfish squirming on the way down?

Top temperature today was 42.3c (108.1f), but the top ‘feels like’ temperature was 50.3c (122.5f). Woo!
I’m ready for autumn now, thank you.

I’ll try turning it off and on again, see if that helps.

My physics professor used to say, when something wasn’t working, that we should hit it. Fifty percent of the time, that would fix whatever was broken, and the other fifty percent of the time? Well, it was broken anyway and giving it a good thumping would make you feel better.

Fell down the Tiktok FF/book binding rabbit hole last night. SMH. What is wrong with people?
-
Been reading up… and there’s authors deleting their stories due to the proverbial game of whack-a-mole, which AO3 makes this easier too with PDF downloading. AFAICT, the etsy/book-binding is like charging HUNDRED or more bucks for printed/bound copies of particular fanfictions, acting as the publisher. Yeah, this is pissing the writers off.
-
Rightfully so! I was offended as a reader – you, oh bottom feeders, are jeopardizing our “harmless” entertainment. Go away!
In our defense, downloaded from AFF is not easy. As a writer, I tried with one of my stories to take a red pen to it. NO DICE.
-
Getting high-priced lawyers involved is how you get the new rules around Star Trek fan-films (15 minutes max, no episodes, etc...), or the rights holder goes Anne Rice and prohibits all fanfiction with cease & desist orders. Anybody rich enough to counter with lawsuits is also well off enough to negotiate authorized derivative works, leaving the average fanfic writer high & dry. Hope those bottom feeders suffer from papercuts, lots and lots of vicious papercuts.

At least for the forensic pathologist, the patients aren’t going anywhere, they’re dying to see you

My potter fanfic has now crossed the 2Mword mark (on the hard drive, it’ll take more for the online total to cross it too).

Dragons are fun, and easy to fast-BBQ anything!

Well, if I wanted crispy squirrel bits, now's the chance, the squirrel must've loved the transformer.

How thoughtful that spammers are self-reporting themselves in the “Trolls/Flamers/Spammers” section of the forums… sigh. Can we hang/draw/quarter them?

It was Snape's fault, definitely Snape's fault. He forced me to sample my own potion during class, and there were... side-effects. Madam Pomfrey wasn't able to fully sort me out.
