... The zip on the other pair broke this afternoon. I guess I'm going back to the dry cleaners. Maybe I'll go to the *other* dry cleaners, and then compare the results on the two pairs of trousers once they're both back.

Today I finally took a pair of trousers to the dry cleaners for repairs after procrastinating on it since, I think, October 2023. They told me it would be a couple of weeks and I told them I didn't think I had a right to be in a hurry at this point.

It's rude how easy it is to add 21k words to a book and how hard it is to take literally any of that out again

Tired of getting misgendered on Irish-language courses and contemplating strategies to help minimise it. Wondering if this gets the vibe across or if it just seems like grammatical enthusiasm

Trying to convince my Discover feed that I just want it to show me nice photographs of scenic landscapes and archaeological sites and sometimes interesting animals, and not endless doom and politics. Making slow progress.

Tumblr askbox is open (common) and anon messages are on (very rare) if you want to ask me anything about any of my books, published or unpublished/forthcoming, this afternoon! Advantage of Tumblr is I can give really long answers I want, though I'll try to restrain myself finnlongman.tumblr.com/ask

Not doing too hot on the ol' anxiety front, and I feel like doomscrolling (despite my best efforts with muted words etc) is hugely contributing to this, so I'm thinking of trying to take a proper break from Bluesky for a month or so. Do I have the self control for this? We'll see.

Everyone has one part of the writing process they struggle with the most, and I'd like to add mine for consideration: making decisions about medieval Welsh orthography (while not actually knowing very much medieval Welsh at all)
