Was volunteering at the @thelowtherpavilion.bsky.social last night during the sellout Milton Jones show, I ended up having to go out in the pouring rain and see off some idiot who was fishing in the pond in our gardens.
Not a casual fisher, he’d a rod, landing net and the full kit.
Cheeky bugger.

Let’s gear up for the fight against creationism in schools (Dover Part 2) except stupider and potentially without a rule in the favor of science!
Here we go again: Dogma is infiltrating America's public schools.

Show Image 3A-3: Francisco de Holando’s
The First Day of Creation
The story of Genesis starts in the beginning.
There was only darkness. Then the text says:
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there
was light.1
So, this book says first it was dark, and then it uses a famous phrase: let
there be light! Artists can use the idea of going from dark to light to spark
their imagination. This image shows how a painter named Francisco de
Holanda imagined it would look to go from dark to light. How does the artist
show dark and light? [Pause for students’ responses.]
Show Image 3A-4: Aoki Shigeru’s Let There
Be Light
Later on, the Book of Genesis starts to
describe the next steps of creation. Let’s read
some more of this story from the book of
Genesis:
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let
dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the
gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. Then God said,
“Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land. .
.”2 Vegetation is another word for plants. What was created in this part of the
story? [Pause for students’ responses.]
Let’s look at this painting by Aoki Shigeru. What do you see related to what you
just heard about water and sky? [Pause for students’ responses and discuss]
Artists can interpret these words in different ways, using their own creativity.
There is not just one way to make art. We’ve seen two artists paint pictures
from this story of creation, and they have used different colors and made
paintings that did not look the same. How did we use our imaginations earlier
in the lesson? Were the pictures you imagined the same or different than your
classmates? [Pause for students’ responses.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ya43saw5vyvgqkkey63ialpy/bafkreiehwb3r6ptwnra63cggitkmg6aor3vh2kbmdjrvv3fxxows2wqikm@jpeg)

Woke up a bit later this morning, so nothing done yet. Got a music lesson at 10:00, so hope I can write something after lunch.
By 6:30am yesterday I'd written 1,000 words, so that's a target to aim for at least. Discipline, that's what I need.

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.
Reminds me of the time at WorldCon when an ASL interpreter completely stole the show from Scalzi by signing the HELL out of a short story filled with weird alien words. Scalzi was laughing too hard to read half the time.
ASL interpreters are valuable and amazing and must be protected.

Imagine being threatened and irritated by ASL interpreters. Shut this shit down. There is no validity to the "point", they are not valid, shut up, go away. Sick of these snowflakes.

Badly. I get frustrated and sit in coffee shops trying to break the deadlock. It was entirely due to inadequate plotting during novel 1, which stranded me a few times. It won't happen for 2.
