It’s my and Will’s 13th wedding anniversary today. The traditional gift for this anniversary is lace. The modern gift is fur or textiles. I gave him a gift card for a cat cafe. 🐈☕

Finished reading: The Dead Zone by Stephen King 📚

I love the way King has characters reference his own other work. “Like in that book, Carrie!”

Another, as W. puts it, compulsively readable book. A little chilling in its political prescience, really.

True facts about my dreams: when I was reading CARRIE and started having dreams related to it, it felt like a relief, a respite from my stress dreams about being a bad caregiver.

Pro-tip: Stuck in or overwhelmed by your research? Write a memo.

Thinking about writing a blog post about the alignment of research, especially qualitative research, over the life of a project. We live in a world where we may repeatedly have to reconsider our research scope. Where and how can we stay true to our original research purpose?

I was all, “My blog isn’t cross-posting to Twitter! Whyyyy?” but then I saw that I had disabled it cross-posting anywhere. This post is a test to see if enabling cross-posting was all I needed to do.

The Internet is all “Check out the Whimsigoth aesthetic!” and y’all, a better name for it would be dELiA*s-core.
