As a personal act of resistance to fascism, lately I consolidated all my vaccination history into a single spreadsheet, then I looked up vaccination recommendations and calculated what shots I was overdue for. Then I scheduled them. It felt really empowering and reassuring.

The Roomba ran over and drove around with some kitten poo that didn't make it into the litter box so today is going great.

There's something heady about being in a library. Like, I can just take one of these books home for free and then read it and I don't have to find space in my bookshelves to keep it?

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. ๐Ÿ

Excerpt from 'The Illustrated Cairo Genizah', page 33:
"This is the end of the biblical book of Nehemiah, written in Hebrew and vocalised with the Babylonian vowel system. In contrast to the Palestinian and Tiberian systems โ€“ which mainly used dots to represent vowel sounds โ€“ the Babylonian system also used miniature Hebrew letters for vowels and accents. Like the Palestinian system, the Babylonian vowel signs fell out of favour with the rise of the Tiberian system. This fragment includes a colophon (in the middle of the lefthand page) from a scribe named Joseph ben Nimorad, stating that he copied the book in a town in Iran in the year 903/904 CE. This makes it one of the earliest known dated Hebrew manuscripts. While Joseph was a member of the Jewish diaspora community that lived in Iraq and Iran, eventually someone carried his manuscript to Egypt."

This is a fragment from the oldest Hebrew Bible manuscript with a given date of production. It's the end of the book of Nehemiah, pointed with Babylonian vowel signs. A Jewish scribe named Joseph ben Nimorad completed it in 903/4 CE at Gunbad-i-Mallgan (modern Dogonbadan, Iran).

My kids' school is going through a re-accreditation process and the accreditation people want to speak to some parents. I've been asked to participate.

I will be on my best behavior and tell them my kids are getting the best learnin' and educatin' but I secretly want to say something unhinged.
