Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Mine started with H.

I got the other pangram. So now I'm looking at the letters again to try to figure out what the H pangram could be.

Steph, yes, can't wait to meet this universe's Leif! Listening in real time is hard!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Mine started with H.

Same. (Thank you to The Repair Shop for that bit of vocabulary). I moved on to the other puzzles after 21 words so I still need to find the other.

Hahah yes aurelia, I feel like it’s a very repair shop/steampunk fantasy vocab weird.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I did the same as you, meara

Thanks for the video, aurelia, I would never have found that and it’s fascinating!

Stella Splendens is today’s episode! It looks like the podcast app will serve up WttHorizon interspersed with Burger when I get to that point (that’s what happened with Young Lief) so I will listen to both barely realizing they are not all one thing (if they are not all one thing). I really only look at the episode lists to see if I am missing anything subscriber only (so far I don’t think I have)

Okay, checking yesterday's Spelling Bee answers -- I would never have gotten the pangram that starts with an H!

I will admit, I felt pretty smug when Zi got it. But then I needed the hints to get the other one.

I thought I was working the outlet sale 2-6 today but it was 10-2, which I discovered at 9:55. Fortunately it’s 5 minutes from my house, but I had been leisurely futzing about and hadn’t even had breakfast or coffee. The good news is I’m done with that until next week, I guess. When I am again on 10-2, but hopefully I will remember that!

Having an Earl Grey Espresso Tonic with lunch because all the individual components sound good but fully assembled I’m not sure about it

Stella Splendens was, in fact, hella good. And I finally watched Superman, yay! So I started Peacemaker. Not sure how I feel about that one yet
