I'm re-learning optimal public transit seating strategies:

Remembering that the next stop after I board a lot of people will get on so maybe take the seat next to the known entity rather than one of the two empty seats and roll the die.

Also smiling kindly to people boarding who might be good seatmates to project "I'd be a perfectly safe & acceptable person to sit next to" vibes.

Cranky shoulder is cranky but still got a good chest & back workout in and feeling good about it and my body today!

Just finished Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell and it is *excellent*. It's a fantasy story, and one might even consider it a queer love story, that at its core is the question "what does it mean to be a monster?". It's unlike anything I've read in the past in a very good way.

CW that it contains elements of familial abuse that resolve in a satisfying way.

Alright, time to head down to the garage pottery studio and figure out what's what from when I last used it 9 months ago.

Pretty sure I will need to resuscitate some clay, and maybe glazes, and take inventory of what in-progress pieces need to be glazed and/or bisque fired (probably just glazed?).
