yeah, episode 3 of Picard was full of endorphins. i don't think it's a spoiler to say that this is the episode where they got the part of the trailer where he says the thing. it felt earned.

i kind of had a go see Birds of Prey plan but instead there were good meals and knitting with Picard and Doctor Who and...Detective Pikachu. which is honestly pretty good. like, i don't think anyone mentioned to me before that it starts out with the characters joking about Cubone's backstory while the guy with the dead mom tries to catch one. (there's so much awful stuff hidden in those Pokémon backstories. it's for kids!) also, when i was playing Pokémon Go regularly, Magikarp was my buddy Pokémon and one makes a memorable appearance. it's visually enchanting and of course Pokémon are so damn cute.

i am enjoying the heck out of these podcasts:
More Perfect: stories from the history of the US Supreme Court. this is from the people who do Radiolab.
Code Switch: talk about race, mostly in the US, from a group of PoC working at NPR. stay woke.
Invisibilia: this one is roughly themed around invisible influences that shape our behavior. the one that hooked me was about how learning to express feelings helped an offshore oil rig reduce their accident rate.

i drafted a new knitting project bag pattern and made a prototype. it's pretty rad. now i feel more confident about making one with mimerki's fabric.
