Surprise! It's a post about the house.

In the summer months, we rarely use the clothes dryer because it's so warm and dry here that we can just hang stuff on a drying rack upstairs and it will dry out pretty quickly. But it's starting to cool off, and on a rare rainy (and thus more humid) day, I had cause to want to dry something more quickly. I went to put it in the dryer, pushed the start button. Nothing. Everything seemed to be connected. I hung up the jacket to dry and decided that I'd deal with it later.

This morning, when Kayla came back from breakfast, she had an idea. While we had already checked the circuit breakers on the main box and on the sub box located in the laundry room, we remembered that there is yet a third box located in the garage. Going out there, we discovered that two breakers were off. Not in the tripped position, but actually off. I turned them back on and went back into the house an upstairs where the dryer is. Sure enough, the dryer worked. I'd forgotten that for reasons that doubtless made sense to the owner of the house at the time, the electrical wiring for the garage (which is a separate building from the main house) and the upstairs floor of the main house go through a conduit that branches from the main house, goes to the garage, and then back to the main house and upstairs.

This screwball wiring works, but it's something we keep forgetting. Fixing it would be part of a much larger electrical rebuild that would probably cost many thousands of dollars, because step one would probably mean upgrading our too-small electrical service, which means a new drop from the pole and lots and lots of rewiring. We could afford it, but I'm not sure we'll ever do it, just due to the massive hassle it would involve.

QOTD: On historiography

Oct. 5th, 2025 12:22 pm

Today's quote of the day is actually three quotes, all on the practice of writing history, come from Bruce W. Dearstyne's "The Progressive President and the AHA: Theodore Roosevelt and the Historical Discipline," published in the September 2025 issue of Perspectives on History from the American Historical Association.

The first two are from early 20th century historian Allan Nevins[^1] (1890-1971):

"The world at large will sooner forgive lack of scientific solidity than lack of literary charm. The great preservative in history, as in all else, is style." — from his 1938 book *The Gateway to History

"With the demise of the romantic, unscientific, and eloquent school of writers, our history ceased to be literature." — from his 1959 AHA presidential address

Dearstyne shows that these issues are still relevant by following these quotes with a quote from contemporary historian Jacqueline Jones:

By making stories about the past available to all sorts of publics, scholars seek to counter mythmaking and contribute to a broader educational enterprise — one that is essential to the future of history and, indeed, democracy itself." — from her 2021 AHA presidential address

While I agree with these quotes as to the necessity of making history entertaining so that people will want to read it, I don't think that this has to come at the cost of accuracy. If fact, I think it must not come at the cost of accuracy. If only Jones had deleted the words "stories about" when writing this sentence — thus making it clear that accuracy is required when writing history — then I could agree with it wholeheartedly.

[^1] I found it interesting to note that Nevins had only an MA in history, the same as me, and yet he was able to become president of the AHA in 1959, whereas today an MA in history is (in my experience) basically useless.

rionaleonhart: kingdom hearts: sora, riku and kairi having a friendly chat. (and they returned home)
[personal profile] rionaleonhart
For each of my major fandoms, I do a short writeup talking about how it fits into my fandom history. A fandom qualifies as 'major' if I've written five fics for it, or ten thousand words across at least three fics.

With my recent fills for the kinkmeme, Kingdom Hearts now qualifies!


Kingdom Hearts

When I was in my early teens, I got most of my videogame news from magazines - my brother and I used to buy Official PlayStation 2 Magazine UK and PSM2 every month - so one of those magazines (most likely the official one) was where I first heard that there was an upcoming Disney and Square collaboration. As a Final Fantasy fan, I was surprised but intrigued; it sounded like fun! The magazine had some art of Sora on Destiny Islands, and I cut it out and put it up on the wall of my childhood bedroom.

The original Kingdom Hearts came out when I was fourteen, Sora's age, so I was exactly the right audience for it! I absolutely loved it. It was fun and charming, and I shipped Sora and Riku hard. I read a lot of Sora/Riku fanfiction on fanfiction.net, although the Sora/Riku writers of the time tended to bash Kairi to a pretty ludicrous extent; I didn't have much interest in Kairi at the time, but I could see that the monstrous character she was presented as in fanfiction wasn't Kairi!

As further Kingdom Hearts games came out, my investment only grew. The cast expanded, the plot became steadily more involved, and the series started to focus heavily on memory and identity, which are a couple of my favourite themes in fiction.

I've played and hugely enjoyed most games in the Kingdom Hearts series, and I have to give 358/2 Days a special mention for being the hardest a videogame has ever made me cry, but Dream Drop Distance is my favourite. It's fun to play, it lets you explore new worlds rather than just reusing old ones, and, most importantly, it contains plenty of Riku/Sora material.

Although I've loved the Kingdom Hearts series consistently for a couple of decades, my fics for it have been scattered and rare. I wrote my first Kingdom Hearts fic in the June of 2003, my second in 2009, my third in 2019, and my fourth and fifth here, in late 2025. I've always wanted to write more for it, but it's so sprawling and confusing that it's hard to know where to start!

Favourite character: I mean, Squall Leonhart is technically a character in the Kingdom Hearts universe, and you know how I feel about Squall Leonhart. But my favourite Kingdom Hearts character is Riku. He spent the entire first game making terrible decisions and has quietly hated himself for it ever since, and that's what I want in a character.
Favourite pairing: Sora/Riku must have been one of the earliest pairings I ever got really invested in, and every new Kingdom Hearts instalment since has only made them shippier. I've said before that one of my favourite pairing dynamics is 'I'm quietly and intensely in love with you, but I don't ever expect my feelings to be returned, and I don't have any plans to pursue you romantically. I'm just in love with you; it's an inescapable fact of my life,' and I wrote that description while thinking of Riku's feelings towards Sora.
Number of words written: 9,303, across five fics. Unusually, I've never written from the same character's perspective twice in my Kingdom Hearts fanfiction; I've got one Kingdom Hearts fic from Sora's perspective, one from Kairi's, one from Roxas's, one from Riku's, and one - please don't ask questions - from the perspective of real-life stage magician Derren Brown.

Snippet: I've got a few unfinished attempts at Kingdom Hearts fanfiction lying around. Here's a snippet I scribbled down around 2021 for a never-finished fic, with the slightly silly concept 'Riku confesses his love, and Sora is absolutely mystified because he had literally no idea it was possible for boys to fall in love with each other'.

Content note: mentions antisemitic murders and police violence. I personally am completely safe, I'm only talking about dealing with news.

It's around midday Yom Kippur. I'm leading the morning service with a tiny community in the southwest corner of England. There's a slight hiatus as this congregation only have two Torah scrolls, so we have to roll through from the first reading in Exodus to the second reading in Leviticus, saving the second scroll for the afternoon reading from Deuteronomy. (In this community, like most of the Progressive world, our second reading is Leviticus 19, not the verses that are sometimes used as clobber texts to support homophobia.) While there's milling about, the volunteers running the tech for Zoom approach me at the bimah and let me know that there has been an attack in a synagogue in Manchester.

And you even get a microfic to go with it.

I'd only ever seen one of the creatures at the quiet pond. I'd no idea what it was, just saw it the once, and I don't think it saw me. It was just sliding into the water, a Splendid Wren chittering at it as it submerged, and was lost amongst the lilies.

I didn't tell anyone about it, and I had already put my voice amongst those who wanted to preserve the place as a sanctuary. With Alcoa getting out of the place, we had a good chance while things were in flux, and really, lovely pool, ferns around and the birdlife was great.

Glad I did, because when the aliens came looking for their lost child, and when the authorities started asking around, I had a quiet word. I even got to talk with the kid after. Quite the experience.

And suddenly Earth is talking with the big guns of the Galaxy, and seems like they owe us a favour. When they heard I was pushing for the sanctuary before I'd even spotted Junior whether it was a cryptozoological treasure or not, that impressed them because they're conservationists too. Turns out they want to offer me a job helping them talk to people who'd like their help getting rid of all these nasty forever chemicals in their environments.

Okay, then.

Last night I was inspired after having dinner out with Hawk at an old-favorite Mexican restaurant, where Arturito has been mixing margaritas for longer than the 28 years we've been customers, to keep the party going once I got home. I didn't feel like mixing margaritas just to have one drink, though, so instead I decided to enjoy some tequila straight. But which tequila? It turns out I have at least 8 different bottles in my cabinet. That can only mean one thing.... Time for a tequila taste test!

To keep it simple I limited my taste test to 3 tequilas, all reposados. Tequilas are categorized by how long they've been aged in oak casks. The youngest, blanco, are aged from not at all up to 2 months. Reposado, which in Spanish literally means "rested", is aged from 2 months up to 1 year. Añejo is aged 1-3 years. I chose reposado because it's generally at the lower end of what's enjoyable to drink straight. Plus, I have a lot of reposados. And within that age category I chose 3 of my cheaper examples. ...Well, two cheaper examples and one mid-priced one. I wanted to see if the slightly more expensive bottle is worth it.

Taste testing a few reposado tequilas from my cabinet (Oct 2025)

The three tequilas I put head-to-head are Tres Agaves, Espolón, and Casamigos. Note, none of these are actually cheap tequilas. There is no cheap tequila in my house. There's not even any Jose Cuervo, which is only "tequila" by the barest technical definition (51% distilled from blue agave) anyway.


  • Tres Amigos is the slightly more aged version of Tres Amigos blanco I like as a basic tequila for mixing margaritas. The blanco is actually good enough to sip straight. The reposado tastes not much different from it. Yes, it's got some ageing, so it blends in some of the caramel, vanilla, and spice flavors absorbed from the oak; but these are very light compared to the other reposados here. Instead it's got more of the pure taste of its agave. Probably this one is aged toward the younger end of the 2-12 months range.

  • Espolón is a good middle-shelf tequila reposado. It's got a bit more of the aged flavors than Tres Amigos but they're still not overpowering. The pure flavor of the agave shines through. Probably it's given just a bit longer in the oak casks. While both this and the Tres Amigos are okay for sipping straight they're not quite to the level that I would say enjoyable sipping straight.

  • Casamigos is a brand launched by actor George Clooney. Some people snivel that it's priced and bought all because of his star power rather than on its own merits. But here the Casamigos reposado was a clearly richer tequila than the two I tasted it against. The flavors of vanilla and caramel come through in genuinely warm fashion, contrasting nicely with the sharp flavor of the agave which is pleasantly softened here. Years ago I briefly made Casamigos Añejo my call drink at bars when I wanted to treat myself. Then I bought a three-pack of Casamigos tequilas to try the different age expressions and found I enjoyed the reposado, which is typically a bit cheaper, as much as the añejo.


Based on this tasting Casamigos was the one I poured a full shot of to drink. ...Wait, how could you drink 4 shots? you might wonder. Isn't it... One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor?

The reason it's not is that I didn't pour full shots for tasting. I poured short pours. Those shot glasses in the pic above that look empty? They're not empty. Those are the tastings I poured! They're about 10ml each. That's how I can get through a tasting of half a dozen or more liquors. People who come to my parties and scoff at those of us drinking in the kitchen think we're all drunkards because we're tasting, like, 6 or 8 bottles. This is how I help my guests have a great time while staying sober enough to drive home afterward.

And because I'm not driving home— the #2 benefit of drinking at home instead of at restaurants and bars— I enjoyed another full shot after drinking the last shot from that now-empty Casamigos bottle. For my night cap I went up another level to añejo and enjoyed a drink of Espolón añejo. I'll have to do a taste comparison with that another time.

So the big personal news for this week is that I finally got a job interview to wrap up last week...back at the same company I've been contracting at for most of the last three years. Different manager though, and more interesting-sounding position. Seeing as I know the ropes pretty well, I'm getting the second interview this coming week and we'll see how it goes. If I get the offer, I have to take it since my former contracting company is paying for my unemployment and frankly, I'm not very up for eyeing the abyss of "what happens if unemployment ends/savings have to be burned through/the entire social safety net finishes unraveling." I've been through enough of that over the last 5 years.

Apart from ageism, sexism, the economy and so forth, the main obstacle to me getting at least up to the interview stage is that my kitty Shu requires shots on a very regular schedule a couple of times a day, plus regular feedings--the cats are on a raw meat diet due to being allergic to chicken and somewhat delicate tummies so I can't just pop food in a feeder and let them fend for themselves. Paying my catsitter to come in a couple of times a week just so I can go into an office to make a manager feel more secure isn't particularly viable, not to mention the costs of gas and commuting. So it has to be full WFH and those IT gigs in my skillset are few and far between right now. Given all that, please wish me luck!

What's the backup plan? Well, I'm doubling down on publisher meetings, trainings related to book production and marketing and whatever I can glean from startup support/culture that is somewhat relevant to Queen of Swords Press. Today, for instance, I went to an Entrepreneur Expo at the Central Library and got some useful thoughts from one of the folks I talked to (from the county's Elevate program for small biz startups). I think she will probably be more useful for immediate advice than the guy I spoke to at St. Thomas a couple of weeks ago, and she did say that she wanted me to touch base with her soon. Last week was a couple of marketing workshops and a publisher meetup. Monday is a meetup for the the queer small business app we're now underwriting, Everywhere is Queer. Oh, and I added some events. And we're putting out a new book this month - Running Dry by M.Christian (gay vampires with a twist!) is up for preorder now. I'm also starting to add Jana's boxes to my Ko-fi shop, along with sundry services you can hire me for. 

I've got some writing and teaching plans that I'm working on as well, including, you know, books. Unfortunately, some of the teaching venues I taught at before are no longer viable the way they were before or have shifted directions in ways that do not play to my strengths. So more research, more pitching, more work all around. But next month, there's paid grant vetting and I just turned in another article so I can start pitching more of those.

On the bright side, I'm making progress on patching concrete around the house foundation and almost succeeded in patching the leaking pipe. I've managed to clean out and shift some stuff in the house so that none of the heating vents are blocked any more and there's a bit more space to move around. Next up, tripping hazards and things that make it harder to clean (like books in weird places, etc.). Shu is relatively stable, Ma'at is great and I've been vaxxed and all that good stuff. I'm doing a lot of cooking from scratch and some preserving and such. All in all, as long as I don't look at the news, I'm doing reasonably well, under the circumstances. 

Fingers crossed that it's the same for all of you right now!

viridescent [vir-i-des-uhnt]

adjective:
slightly green; greenish



Examples:
It would be very short, there would be no video and Mr Valenzuela was not to reveal the location of the ranch, near land covered in viridescent avocado orchards. (Eduardo Medina, A Mexican Grandmother Finds the Right Recipe for Culinary Stardom, New York Times, March 2023)

The nuts arrive direct from the Mediterranean, and are then roasted and churned into a viridescent paste before becoming gelato housed in a silver tin. (Callum McDermott, The Best Things We Ate in Sydney in 2024, Broadsheet, December 2024)

Taking to Instagram, she shared a carousel of trees and waxed lyrical about mother nature's viridescent gift. (Mahira Khan finds solace among the trees, Express Tribune, December 2024)

Kalimpong offers a serene escape from the summer heat with its breathtaking vistas, viridescent scenery, and cascading waterfalls. (Krishna Priya Pallavi, August long weekends 2024: The complete list; where to travel near Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru, Hindustan Times, August 2024)

Mighty mountain walls descending sheer along the whole face of the island into a sea unusually deep; the front of the mountain ivied and furred with clinging forest, one viridescent cliff: about half-way from east to west, the low, bare, stony promontory edged in between the cliff and the ocean; the two little towns (Kalawao and Kalaupapa) seated on either side of it, as bare almost as bathing machines upon a beach; and the population - gorgons and chimaeras dire. (Sidney Colvin (ed), The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson)

But as he was about to back through the narrow crevice between the stones, he heard a voice floating above his head in the air, a girl’s voice, as liquid and as sweetly murmurous as the voice should have been of the nymph that should have haunted this viridescent pool. (Rupert Hughes, Within These Walls)

Origin:
shade of green, 1882, from the paint color name (1862), coined from Latin virid-, stem of viridis 'green, blooming, vigorous' + ian. English earlier had viridity (early 15c) 'greenery, greenishness, verdure'; virid 'green, blooming' (c1600). Viridescent 'greenish' is attested from 1788 in mineralogy; viridescence by 1830 in botany. (Online Etymology Dictionary)

Wish I could blame being tired on giving platelets earlier this week, but no, it is La Maladie TM. And the less said about that the better.


Things I've been enjoying recently:

- L and I finished watching Arcane recently and now I have brainrot.

- T and I are watching Andor (currently on s2e3). It's fine? With occasional moments of great, but somehow I expected more. Hype got me, mea culpa.

- The colours of K-Pop Demon Hunters made my brain go brrrrrrrrrr.

- I've fallen back into the SCP Foundation hole, to no one's surprise. My hole, made for me, etc. I wonder if I could make a rec list?

- The pilot for Knights of Guinevere was fun!

- The first 5 seasons of the White Vault podcast (I've not listened to more yet). I'm not sure it does anything new with eldritch beings but it is well done.

- Did I ever do a proper rec post for the music of The Mechanisms? I should.

- October means it's Short Box Comics Fair. As ever I don't know where to start.

- The two issues of the Sing O Muse zine.

The Missing Madonna is a true crime podcast mini-series that's not about murder.


There should be more. But alas.

Anyway, soon the yuletide tagset will be out and that's kind of like a rec list, innit?

I noted ten days ago that the observed season of autumn had started. ...The observation being, "Hey, it's raining!" 🤣 Other observations I use to mark the start of fall and winter include "It's cool enough to turn the heat on in the house" and "It's cool enough that I prefer to wear trousers instead of shorts during the day." We're on the cusp of those markers now.

Yesterday evening I changed into pants to go out to dinner... not because I felt I needed to for fashion's sake but because I wanted to for comfort's sake in the cooling evening weather. Though as long as I was wearing pants for weather I classed it up to be fashionable by wearing a natty sport coat with an artfully folded pocket square.

Overnight it got cool enough outside that the temperature downstairs in our house was a brisk 66° (19° C) when I got up this morning. Up in the bedroom is was warmer, at about 68°. I hadn't actually felt cold overnight even though all I slept with was a light sheet and I'd left the bedroom balcony door open a few inches. Maybe chalk that up to reading articles recently that the ideal temperature for sleep is cooler than most people think. at 64-68°. (I'm glad my autonomous nervous system read those articles, too. 🤣)

Enjoying the hot tub on a cool fall morning (Oct 2025)

As I got up and started puttering around the house with my normal breakfast routine it occurred to me that a soak in the hot tub would be a great way to shrug off the slight chill of the morning. I pulled on a light jacket for the walk out to the pool area. The jacket turned out not to be necessary as the air didn't feel that cold. Despite it being only about 62° the sun shine and lack of breeze made it feel warmer.

And once I got into the hot tub... well, all the thoughts of chilliness went away. Daaang, that water felt hot this morning! It was so hot it was bracing at first. Any weather is pool weather when the water's 103°!
