Last winter I didn't use my snow shovel. There was little enough snow that it was easier to sweep it off the sidewalk.
My friend says a cherry tree is blooming near her.
I am wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts. In November.
it is november, and yesterday it felt like it was supposed to be snowing. in boston, november used a winter month, not a fall month. it is supposed to be chilly; rarely capping over 45F. it is a sweater-and-jacket month. it is a "maybe a scarf too" month. in my childhood, november meant blizzards and sleet.
it did not snow. tomorrow the weather predicts a high of 76.
i have spent so many years of my life studying the longterm possibilities of climate change - the culmination of capitalism wreaking havoc on the bodies of people, animals, plants - but every so often i am still shocked by something small and personal.
in a hundred years, when someone goes outside in boston - will they know the feeling of "snow in the air"?
i know it's a learned feeling, a sensation that maybe only longterm experience can teach. a few years ago, i was walking with my friend who had just moved up from the south. i said it smells like snow and she gave me this look like - what the fuck. i said it feels like snow too, which didn't help. she looked up to the bright blue sky and then back at me and then back at the sky. 12 hours later, we had 3 inches. you can just tell if it's going to snow.
except i can't tell, anymore. i stand outside in a tee shirt and watch my dog dance around a lake. we're in a drought and the skin of the water has peeled back twenty meters. the lake is tamed, quiet, puddlelike and sour. my pokemon go app warns there's a weather condition in my area.
my dog gets too hot from running and sits in the water and i want to laugh about his long frame and how awkwardly he sits - and i can't. some simian part of my brain is scratching the walls. it was supposed to snow. it was supposed to snow, but now it's warm instead.
during the last full solar eclipse, the dogs and the birds and the crickets went crazy under utter darkness. we laughed at them then, promising it will all be okay in a moment. but some part of me is still locked in that long night: some animal sensation.
something is wrong, my body says. i can't afford eggs or rent. i go outside to watch a sunset and listen to birdsong. i don't bring a jacket. allergies are killing me this season, allergies i didn't have as a kid. everyone comments that halloween has started to feel strange, offkilter. that it's hard having "holiday cheer." my body thinks it's april, and then it thinks we're in september, and then june.
something is terribly wrong, she whispers. go outside. it is supposed to be snowing.

People in the comments of the Assassin's Creed: Shadows trailer becoming armchair historians trying to explain why Yasuke shouldn't be a protagonist actually are hilarious. Like besties this is a franchise where people can control eagles with their minds and a good 5% of the population are descended from evil psychic aliens. I THINK we can expand on a story of Japan's only-recorded African koshō without it jumping the shark.
#Assassin's Creed#Assassin's Creed Shadows#Actually losing my mind at gamer bros trying to logic a story that's LONG gone off the sanity rails#Like guys I get that Ubisoft 'prides itself' on historical accuracy but like#Ezio did not set Venice on fire Connor did not start the Boston Massacre and Shay didn't set off the 1755 Lisbon earthquake#Like we need to establish that this series follows historical details in some areas and then takes batshit crazy liberties in others#I hate giving credit to Ubisoft for their balls but.....yeah that took some nuts. Good job guys.#Absolutely wild that they're dropping preorders already. I will be eyeing this game's reviews but you're insane if you think I'm preorderin#Seta speaks

(translation: bostonian miku in her fucking puffer (jacket) halfway through cleaning fucking snow off her fucking car mid noreaster (regional term for specific type of snowstorm) so she can go buy scratch tickets and tailgate that shithead from fucking connecticut who dares to go the fucking speed limit on fucking i-95 (it's a highway))
#we aren't exactly known for being fashionable over here. if you can't already tell#hatsune miku#vocaloid#international miku#massachusetts#(<<adding that one in case anyone is looking for mass miku and not searching for bostonian miku. since some ppl don't like to use it for th#whole state (i use it for all of the north shore/area around boston but what do i know). i get not wanting to use it for the west or the#cape but like. still. there isn't rlly another word for 'person from mass' besides masshole.)

"What if Magnus was raised in the Greek world-" WHAT IF ANNABETH WAS RAISED IN THE NORSE WORLD??
#no cause here me out#the chases are all from Boston aka the norse area and we already know their family has had the gods attention for generations#and they're also descendants of swedish kings#i don't think it would be too out of pocket to assume that they mostly attracted the attention of Norse gods#and fredrick was just an outlier by getting athena's attention#which leaves the possibility that annabeth is a norse legacy#so when she dies she could possibly end up in valhalla#or what if stayed with/got adopted by natalie#(I'm desperate for more chase family content)#pjo#mcatgoa#mctga#magnus chase#annabeth chase#natalie chase#frederick chase#norse gods#fanfic idea#pjo au
