#column of water

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

Susanna Booth suddenly transforms into a bizarre creature smack in front of the Inspector.

She reaches out to grab an aide standing close to her, turning him into a column of water, which splashes around them, then reaches out for the Inspector.

‘I offer you the gift of … afterlife!’

Rawda Island Nilometer, Egypt

The nilometer is an ancient device used to measure the water level of the Nile River.

These measurements were crucial in Ancient Egypt, as the level of the Nile determined the fertility of agricultural land and therefore the annual harvest.

A nilometer could consist of a graduated column, a stone staircase, or a well connected to the river.

Priests and officials were analyzing these measures to predict floods and plan resource distribution.

my therapist spent today's session making Faces at me about getting an ADHD diagnosis

which

I can honestly say I have never seriously considered the possibility of seeking an ADHD diagnosis but she might not be a billion miles off

I was describing how I get "fizzy bored" where I have no energy or ability to move and nothing holds my attention but I feel like my bones are trying to vibrate out of me with the desire to be Doing Things and she was like 🤔 and I got onto the fact that I often need to be doing 3-4 things at once to ease into focusing on one and she was like 🤨 and then I mentioned how I find it really difficult to start doing things but once I'm in it I'm super focused and she was like 😌 have you considered the possibility of an ADHD diagnosis?

and so I explained that I don't really see the point because even though, unlike EDS and autism, a diagnosis could suggest an actual treatment, I don't really feel like anything I've described is disabling me cause I have the tools to manage it now most of the time and I feel Fizzy Bored WAY less often these days. and she was like 🤨

and I was like yeah to be fair actually I did use to think that about chronic pain, trauma and having shit eyesight and doing something about them did really change my experience. and she was like 😌 and I was like and actually now we mention it the fact that I sometimes for NO REASON AT ALL simply put off doing things even though they would be really easy to do and I want to do them for LITERAL YEARS is maybe. A thing that it might be nice to change if I could. And she was like 🤔 and I was like OH FUCK I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GENUINELY CONSIDER THIS POSSIBILITY AREN'T I?

anyway after talking a mile a minute and overrunning by 15 minutes I then got a quarter of a mile away on foot and realised I'd left my glasses on her table. she opened the door I went HEY SPEAKING OF ADHD

Slugcat ears aren’t ears to me theyre like rhinophores (but specialized in a good way for the open air) on a nudibranch (or the oral tentacles of land snails) and are entirely for highly specialized chemical sense. In a world constantly experience heavy washing in rain a lot of chemical information would be damaged routinely so I think they would just have insanely good chemical sense and it would be very robust in what it can cover.

Saw your tags on that post about swamp milkweed about having trouble getting it started--you may already know this, but milkweed seeds need light to germinate! They only need a light dusting of soil on top of them (and putting them somewhere with a lot of light helps!); if you can't see the seed through the soil, it's buried a little too deep. They basically want to be laying flat on the surface of the soil rather than poked down into it, with just enough soil on top to help them retain moisture. Yes this does make it kind of annoying to manage moisture because you don't really want them drying out either (sorry 😭) but I hope this helps!! I mention it because this is the most common issue I see with people trying to grow milkweeds from seed. They also want 4 weeks of cold stratification (cool temperatures like in a fridge while also being in contact with moist soil; you can plant your seeds, pop the whole pot in a ziplock/cover it with cling wrap, and just refrigerate it for a few weeks) so don't forget to do that!

You know

it's really funny

because i like to call myself the self-proclaimed milkweed queen of tumblr (at least on my gardening blog but still)

And yet

I

constantly fucking forget about the light thing

IDK if that'll fix all my problems (the soil at my house is pretty sandy so I think that's the problem when it comes to transplanting at least) but regarding getting those little shits to germinate??? that might be the ticket

(one of the other problems I face sometimes is the seeds deciding to mold when they're in the fridge cold stratifying, i lost a good chunk of seeds to that last year but i don't see any signs of it happening yet this year so fingers crossed everyone)

I wonder how much Aabria might be trying to poke Imogen along towards clarity about her feelings for Laudna. Not saying that she's trying to metagame, or even influence Imogen's decision one way or another, but maybe just help her come to some kind of decision by talking about Deanna's relationship with Chetney in broad terms and letting that percolate in Imogen's brain.

Because here she is, forcibly separated from Laudna for the second time, and now she's sharing that experience with someone who had something special, twice, and lost it both times. You can't help but notice the parallels, and that could either be Aabria doing it with the specific goal of holding a mirror up to Imogen and giving her a nudge, or just a consequence of understanding narrative flow and nurturing the progression of the story because 'yarr, there be potentially interesting plot'. She's a talented DM and can easily shape the riverbank of the story to get the water flowing where she wants it to go.

So I guess my question is this: is it 'I know if I poke the story in this direction it will go this specific way'? or is it 'I know if I poke the story in this direction it will definitely do something interesting'? Did the parallels occur organically and are now specifically being accentuated, or is that just how it's working out because they're all just that damn good at telling a story?
