Slept in a bunch, because on-call doesn’t start until 13 o’clock, then watched the notifications while branch mining a bunch more of the bowels of the earth and finally making a full set of diamond armor and a diamond sword. Now if only I had the levels to enchant them…
Also caught up a little on journaling. I should probably just make draft posts instead of keeping notes in /tmp.
Read: “The Sound of Children Screaming” (Rachael K Jones): It’s like the Madoka Magica of child portal fiction.
Read: “How to Raise a Kraken in Your Bathtub” (P Djèlí Clark): That is such a supervillain plan. I hope the kraken is okay with it, though.
Read: “Better Living Through Algorithms” (Naomi Kritzer): “What if AI, but not evil?” It’s retreading ground that was visited decades ago (not that I can find the story because web searching is a thing of the past) but it’s even more relevant today, so that’s fine.
Read: “The Mausoleum’s Children” (Aliette de Bodard): A story about escaping the terrible place, and the people who didn’t escape.
Written: 129 according to the script. Does that feel like how much work I did, even though it was editing and not adding? I guess maybe?
