Phew, that gave me a moment of autocorrect fear!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday sj!
We went to the National Building Museum. They have an area where kids can build with foam blocks of various shapes and sizes.(Including ones that look a bit like Tinkertoys) Mr. S had fun there, as did Gary. Of course, once we got home Mr. S started going wild again.

Ha, ha, ha re: Naomi Novik and asshat. It's like a game of telephone on the board!
Went to a party at a former boss's house today. Knew NO ONE, and it wasn't an especially socially adept crowd, so we said our goodbyes about an hour in and found a restaurant on the way home. Lovely Bayside home, though, and I added an osprey to my bird life list! So, that was a win.
Also, we have a chipmunk in our yard now. Holy hell, is it cute

I did not know Naomi Novak was astolat. I mean, I knew there was a connection, but not the specifics..
I feel weird because I was so scared of TWOP back in the day, and now with podcasts I interract with so many of the OG TWOP people, Sarah D Bunting (sars) in particular because of true crime. I actually talked to her on zoom and I was verklempt! But it is so weird to be like, I feel like I have known you for over 20 years, but I am a lurker. And also I totally understand why TWOP, which is so big, had to be really hard as against natter, but of course natter is what I am here for! But so weird tat 20 years later, my podcasts are authored by the old TWOP crew…. Including NPR and Slate.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
JenP, I am here to validate your perception of chipmunk cuteness! They are so stonkin' adorable it hurts.
