Kurt Kohlstedt has spent ten years creating audio and print stories for the design podcast, 99% Invisible. He also co-authored the 99% Invisible City book.

Last year, 99pi’s Kurt Kohlstedt suffered a severe injury that incapacitated his right arm and dominant hand. In the aftermath, new everyday challenges led him to research, test, and evolve accessible design solutions. These experiences set the stage for Adapt or Design, a twelve-part project of 99% Invisible in three acts, available at the short link 99pi.org/adapt

The Adapt or Design series includes many groan-worthy puns related to hands; six essays exploring assistive designs for people with one functional hand; three design hacks and mods that helped Kurt manage long-term rehabilitation; and three final essays diving deep into adaptive writing technologies including a free one-handed "mirror keyboard" for Windows PowerToys.

While the first article posted in April, I just heard about it via the 99% Invisible podcast 630, where Kurt and Roman talk about all these things.

Well, I forgot to do a media update again yesterday! Not super necessary because all I have been doing are:

🌿 finished Miss Night and Day & very satisfied with the ending
🌿 started Tale of the Nine-Tailed - it is very gory and low on shenanigans but the worst part is how it's put together? Idk, it jumps between scenes so quickly, my bestie was like "sometimes this show is like a dream with these abrupt scene changes" and, yeah. It keeps making these little jumps like someone's telling you a story and saying "let me skip to the good part!" Lots of peril, often watching through my fingers, but am enjoying it so far. We want the prequel (not 1938) that is about Granny, please. I've had enough Lee Crazy Eyes Rang for a lifetime, and I suspect this is going to go badly for me. I hope Yuri is an Alolan Ninetails.
🌿 been on a tear with language learning, pretty much everything that's not that & kdrama has fallen (RIP writing, RIP Amphibia, RIP music, RIP library books)
🌿 have been playing some stardew (joja run?), though. And neko atsume for a minute.
🌿 I guess I did a lot of deck/gardening stuff - hung my hanging planters, finally. Planted a couple more things. My seedlings under the light are starting to get crazy.

Bonus birds:





Finch party - love the purple finch. Never actually got a pic of him before!



These 2 dunces! Waking me up in the morning, screaming after their mom, as she tries to teach them how to hunt for insects. They were doing laps under my window, screaming why can't she just keep feeding me forever?!?! They're just as big as her, and will bowl her over if she catches something. Very entertaining show (they're back today under the kitchen window, and I'm wondering how long she'll put up with them)!

Previous poll review
In the Detectives poll, the most popular options were softboiled (38.2%), ingredient in alcoholic beverages (32.4%) and hardboiled (26.5%). Over easy, poached, and deviled tied for last place with 14.7%.

In ticky-boxes, dinosaur feathers came second to hugs, 55.9% to 76.5%, yay science! Thank you for your votes.

Reading
The Swish of the Curtain by Pamela Brown -- Revisiting my childhood. I enjoyed this so much. It's episodic, good-natured, and now I want to re-read all the sequels.

Just Kiss Her by Clare Lydon, narrated by Katy Sobey -- This was very silly. It's an f/f romance about a lesbian who fake-dates her closeted-to-his-family gay bff at his cousin's destination wedding and finds herself falling for his mother. Which I would have been here for, but a) the only obstacles were the obvious situational ones, b) neither lead seemed to have a character arc, and c) their connection was 30% feeling comfortable with each other and 70% finding each other sexy, in a telling-not-showing way. (I prefer the proportions reversed, along with some shared interests and values, thanks.) DNF.

Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers, narrated by Robert Bathurst -- So much fun! I find the dispassionate descriptions of court appearances and the reading out of letters both drag a little (the letters are always very convenient), but not enough to undermine the general charm of it all. Peter's “justice first” attitude to his brother’s arrest (not a spoiler) was great, and I'm well on my way to shipping him with Parker and/or Bunter. (Will check AO3 when I have more time.) (I know, I know, Harriet, but I haven’t got to her yet. ) I preferred the previous audiobook narrator, Frederick Davidson, but you can't have everything.

Guardian by priest -- The readalong continues, yay! I’m enjoying the mix of ensemble humor, very intense/weird romance, and Miyazaki-esque imagery. It’s pretty easy to lose track of events, but the readalong helps enormously with that.

Still slowly making my way through the 520 Day Guardian Exchange collection. Really need to sit down and write some comments!

Kdramas
Nothing! I hardly recognise myself. (ETA: Okay, now I’ve watched half an episode of Our Unwritten Seoul. Not enough to get a real sense of it yet.)

Other TV
Murderbot -- continues to be a) enjoyable, and b) very different from my experience of the book (and that's okay).
Mike Birbiglia: The Good Life -- a bit less structured than his previous stand-up specials, but still enjoyable.
Doctor Who -- I'm just shaking my head at RTD and whoever gave him this ridiculous budget where he could throw whatever random elements he thought of into the mix. (We still have the final episode to go.)
Turning Point: The Vietnam War -- Turning Point: The Cold War was so good that we thought we’d try this one, too. Fact-filled and meaty.
Department Q -- new Edinburgh-based cold-case unit is staffed by asshole detective with PTSD. Really good so far (two episodes in), even if the asshole detective is... really leaning into the “asshole” bit.
The Expanse -- finished season 4; started season 5. AMOSSSS!!! NAOMI!!! BOBBY!!!! I am earwormed by the opening credits music.
El Eternauta -- we’ve only seen ten or twenty minutes of this eerie Argentinian series, but it looks really good and is on our to-watch list.
Fringe -- my sister and I are still making our way through season 1.
Spy (2015) -- the Melissa McCarthy movie. I loved this when it came out and saw it multiple times at the theatre. So when Netflix said it was being removed in a few days, I thought I should take the opportunity to revisit it. I got halfway through. This is partly attributable to my poor attention span, and partly argh Jason Statham, go away! (I know it’s a deliberate plot/humour choice, but argh.)

Guardian/Fandom
*bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce*

Audio entertainment
Writing Excuses, and bits of Brandon Sanderson’s writing lectures. (I’ve listened to the latter very haphazardly, and I have no idea which ones I meant to review again.)

Writing/making things
Writing continues apace. I don’t generally keep track of word counts, but I wrote 4,343 words in one day recently, which is astonishing for me. What is even happening? Currently on the hunt for a title, and whittling away at a WIP.

Random aside: partly because of the state of my arms, I reasonably often don’t hit the keys hard enough. One of my common typos is “hae” instead of “have”, which always makes me feel I’m writing in Scots.

Life/health/mental state things
I find it so hard to put anything here these days... which is probably telling. Let's try. )

Food
The dish I’ve been referring to as “the vegan thing” (Youtube link) isn’t even vegetarian when I make it, because there’s bonito extract in my miso paste. Oops. It’s still delicious, though. Somehow, the combination of fresh ginger, fresh tomatoes, random vege, miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds makes a really delicious gravy.

Good things
Anticipating getting shelves in my cupboard and imposing some order on (*gestures*) all this. Also, anticipating my windows not leaking. Guardian fandom, especially on Dreamwidth. Zhao Yunlaaaaaan. Writing. Books and Kdramas and so much TV. Cooking. Friends, online and off. Wonderful insightful beta. The boy and the cat and the house and the city. The view from my living-room window. Clean sheets. Baby!red panda blep face (Insta link).

Series: The Due South Alphabet Series
Title: W Is For Wolf
Author: Grey/Grey853
Fandom: Due South
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 39,932
Tags: male slash, alternate universe-canon divergent, explicit language, explicit suggested sexual content, angst, Christmas

Summary: Dief has a medical problem. Vecchio has a close call. There's a big winter storm. Will Ben and Ray have a great Christmas?

Link:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/66072517

Snippet:

″Have you noticed anything different about Dief lately?″

Ben turned from doing the supper dishes and stared at Ray in surprise. ″What?″

″I said have you noticed him being off a little lately.″

″Off?″ Ben dried his hands on the towel and walked over to his partner. ″In what way?″

″Slower, sleeping more, not really eating as much. He’s got a little come-and-go limp on his right front leg, too.″

Ben frowned and came around to sit next to Ray on the sofa. He kept his eyes on his sleeping friend. ″You’ve noticed these things?″

″I was asking you that.″

″To be honest, I’ve been so busy with work lately I’ve not paid that much attention.″

Ray hated to bring it up, but he’d been noticing changes for a while. At first he’d hoped he was just imagining it, but he was pretty sure he wasn’t, not anymore, not after the whole turning down the doughnut situation. Dief never met a treat he wouldn’t eat. ″It’s been going on for a few weeks. I wanted to brush it off, but today when Cheri had a powdered doughnut, he wasn’t even interested. Only ate about half his kibble, too. I’ve never known Furface to turn down food. You think something’s wrong?″

″He’s not said anything.″

″I know he’s not due for his shots, but maybe I should take him to the vet tomorrow.″

″I suppose it couldn’t hurt.″

Ray noted Ben’s worried expression and put his hand on his arm for comfort. ″I’m sure it’s nothing. Maybe he just needs a tonic or something. He’s getting older.″

″I hope that’s the case, but it could be something serious. I should’ve been paying closer attention.″

″Like you said, you’ve been busy. It’s getting closer to Christmas. Things get hectic for cops this time of year.″

″You’ve been busy, too, Ray.″

″I know. I’ll call the vet first thing tomorrow morning and take him in. I’m sure it’s nothing big. Maybe he ate a bad rabbit or vole or something just as disgusting.″

″Perhaps.″

″Don’t worry about it. I shouldn’t have said anything.″

″No, I’m glad you did.″ Ben got up and stooped beside Dief and petted his head several times. It was their regular signal to go out for their nightly walk. The animal opened its eyes, but instead of getting up, Dief only snuffled softly before closing his eyes again.

His expression darkened and Ben took the time to run his hand slowly over Dief’s back, along his sides, then under his belly and his over neck. His hand stopped right at where the right leg met his chest. ″There’s a lump here.″

The Met Office’s Shipping Forecast Key announces weather conditions in 31 areas around the UK. For internet users, real-time info is now available for each area via a handy-drop down

But it's the radio broadcast which has soothed me on many an anxious evening. Here’s five hours worth: https://youtu.be/CxHa5KaMBcM

They use a highly structured, compact format limited to 370 words:

  • Time and Date of the active forecast being read
  • List Gale Warnings current around the British Isles
  • General Synopsis
  • Area Forecasts, within each
    • Location
    • Wind direction
    • Wind speed according to Beaufort scale
    • Precipitation
    • Visibility
  • Inshore Waters Forecast

The Beaufort Scale provides vivid descriptions of different wind patterns, as befits a tool standardized before radio or photography. For example,

Wind force 5, also known as "Fresh Breeze," is 29-38 km/h or 19-24 miles per hour or 17-21 knots. You can recognize this force when Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters. Moderate waves, many white horses. Probable wave height of 2.0 meters, 2.5 meters max, with a "sea state" of 4.

The newsreaders develop a very soothing rhythm—so consistent that many people have created "better sleeping through weather awareness" content on YouTube.

For radio nerds like me, nothing finer than this 30 minute deep dive: The Shipping Forecast: A Beginner’s Guide

Forgot to post my media update yesterday! Unrelatedly, saw this chipmunk today :D



A lucky catch!


TV/movies:

Miss Night and Day we are 2 eps from the end and this one has stuck the landing, imo. I have quibbles, the whole murder plot is kinda - well, we kinda thought it would make more sense, lol. But this is, at its core, the cat magic shenanigans show.

Amphibia L really likes this show & we are doing a cultural exchange (he is watching Owl House). And I usually am so annoyed by all the "but it's so ugly" complaints that people have about cartoons when they just don't appreciate style & especially don't appreciate animation, but god, it's so ugly. And screamy. Perhaps it will grow on me. The nagging to get more episodes in is not growing on me, lol. I've only seen the first episode so far.


Games: Stardew Valley brought my wilderness farm to year 3, been needing a no brain media option lately.


Books/Comics: I think I'm quitting all of my books, ngl. Because Internet will come back around bc I had to return it but renewed the hold. Hammajang Luck seemed like it would be fun if I could look past one of my most loathed tropes (falling for the ice queen/king who betrayed you in the past) and might even go beyond that and give her A Real Good Reason She Had To. No thanks :D


Writing and other wips: I actually wrote a bit!! Brainstorming on a new wip, LOLOL. ;_; but you know what, I'll take it! Going to host next week at [community profile] writethisfanfic, don't expect good convo prompts!! *cough* or possibly any, lol

What I've recently finished reading:

A Drop of Corruption, the sequel to The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett. I liked it a lot (Din and Ana are great characters!), and I thought it was easier to follow than the first book, in the sense that I figured out the major twists and culprits before they happened (which is not a criticism, it means the appropriate breadcrumbs were dropped). The worldbuilding continues to be very weird and cool. Definitely one of the best Sherlock Holmes fanfics I've read! :-)

What I'm reading now:

I've gone back to the Shardlake series by C. J. Sansom and am now on the fifth book, Heartstone.

What I'm watching now:

Still Andor. The other night I dreamed we were giving a party, except our house was basically Mon Mothma's house on Chandrila and the party was like the wedding episode. And then I went into the bathroom to change clothes and I noticed that my husband had left the tap dripping water so the cats could drink it, just like in real life :-) And then I woke up.

What I'm playing now:

Still Mass Effect: Andromeda, heading toward the endgame. It's still fun! Except for having to kill another Architect, which is basically the thresher maw of the Andromeda galaxy, and I still hate both of those enemies!

Title: softening (1176 words) [General Audiences]
Tags: Da Qing & Shen Wei, Shen Wei & Ye Zun, background Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Post-Canon, Alternate Universe – Everyone Lives, Aftermath, Feelings, Cat Tribe Best Tribe

Summary:

Da Qing curls up and assesses. He likes this lap, with its faint aroma of dark energy and its feeling of safety, but the thighs reveal a thrumming tension. If Da Qing doesn’t mend Shen Wei’s mood, his nap will surely be cut short.

Tomorrow I'll do the back yard but it's still wet. We had so much rain in the last week and now we'll have a day and a half of sun before we are rained out again, looks like.

Writing/making things
I posted four substantial fics in the space of a week (which, being me, meant frantic last-minute edits on all of them), two for Unsent Letters, and two for 520 Day. Now I'm not sure what I'm doing (other than catching up on email and weekly updates and general life stuff). I wish I could remember even half of the writing theory I applied to my 520 Day assignment, because though the first draft wasn't perfect, it was about 80% of the way there, and that's not nothing.

Anyway, now I have a little flashfic at beta for the Nap round on [community profile] fan_flashworks, but other than that, I'm contemplating which of my many WIPs to try to actually knock off before [community profile] guardian_wishlist rolls around.
Most likely options
  1. the prehistoric curtain fic, started in 2021, which foundered on the shoals of Ye Zun characterisation; can't remember what was going to happen, but I think I know the ending; currently an unfinished draft of ~17k
  2. the Guardian-fic-using-a-Kdrama-trope fic, started in who even knows at this point; my WIP folder contains 21 related files, many of which are versions of retro-engineered outlines, rejigged outlines, new first chapters, an attempt at a complete rewrite with alternating POVs, more draft outlines (and this isn't counting the previous versions of the actual draft, which are archived); foundered on the shoals of Plot Is My Nemesis; I do have a complete draft (40k), but it doesn't work. Maybe the beta feedback I received lo those many years ago could combine with all the writing theory to help me fix it? if I could remember any of the writing theory
  3. post-canon everyone-lives AU that tries to tackle, among other things, the problem of Ye Zun; started in 2021, currently 8k, no idea where I was going with it, but I like what I have so far; bonus: already has a title
  4. SID team missing scene shenanigans, got distracted/interrupted, will probably get lots of theory thrown at it to firm up the structure/arc, which means it won't be a quick finish; started last year I think? currently 13k
  5. the unicorn final part of my time travel series, started in 2018; has undergone multiple rewrites already, lots of ideas but no shape; I weep for the tens of thousands of words wasted on earlier drafts; current easiest-to-find version is 5k, unfinished, plus a million billion notes, argh.

So, idk. Probably #4 to start with, but if you have thoughts, feel free to weigh in.

The Secret History of Font Piracy

Today [youtube.com profile] LinusBoman talks about font theft. Back in the 1990s I worked in a desktop publishing service bureau. Font foundries were still using a pricing model based on industrial customers with several blocks worth of printing presses and thousands of books. Font piracy was so widespread as to be fundamental. Good times—Linus brings it all back with an excellent news hook: how the unavoidable you wouldn’t steal a car message that scolded at the start of every VHS or DVD used a pirated font. Pro captions, silent title cards subdivide the video into eight sections.

Audio is instrumental music. I invite you to write image descriptions; here are the first three:

  1. Kevin in red hoodie stands in corner, falls slowly to ground — at moment of impact human becomes eight red balloons, bouncing lazily
  2. Big cardboard boxes in empty room. Kevin stands behind one of them, jumps into the air and then into the box. His body sinks in and he’s suspended by his armpits — at the same time as his legs push up from inside another box
  3. Leaning on a counter, Kevin slides his right hand along the corner towards the camera, and then his hand detaches and begins to slide all the way to the end of the counter, where he drums his fingers. Then the fingers slide back to his arm.

Anthony Howe of [youtube.com profile] HoweARTdotNET sculpts stainless steel into "kinetic sculpture," installed outside and set in motion by the wind. Most comprise a circular metal structure atop a 10 to 20 feet curved column. The circle supports four to eight rings that rotate perpendicular to the circle. Each of these rings is decorated with assorted shapes, including discs, commas, sticks, flaps, and blades. The rings are staggered so that the motion seems infinitely various; the shiny stainless steel creates cascading light and sparkles as it moves, along with the illusion of interlocking gears moving forward and backward at the same time.
