New patch new log! Can't wait to get to this.
Last WF session I was so happy to get the 60% Coda Bassocyst, even if we had to invoke new Codas then spend all that time to defeat our boys. We did Earth Proxima on public and it was better than I thought, ofc since we are in Asia there was 1 Wukong minimum guaranteed. I found it awesome how the other player was Revenant though, for obvious mechanic skip reasons. Two phases per Coda per person, that's like eight whole phases, so it Felt longer than when me and Pinap just duo it. For every additional person it's just 1 more live heartcell. If you're the type to wait for 60% constantly I guess that would be when it's worth it.
But I won't be playing this patch yet, just preparing the post for now to edit later. Trying to avoid spoilers too. When we do play, we will do multiplayer for story then do bunch of farming for the Event items. Then we will check out the new Steel Path Railjack. Pinap has maxed out Instrinsics and I'm lv4 on all of them, so I would appreciate getting more to top them off. Maybe see if it's viable to do Axi Fissure in Veil Proxima but in SP to see if that will get us more Holokeys? Or if SP needs nodes to be unlocked first then we have to do that instead. If we feel up to it, might do some Relic cracking capture missions. We have not done that in a very long time, got burnt out trying to get a gold Volt part (last thing I needed -_-) from my relic stash I got from the group prime resurgence back then.
Reading the patch notes, it seems they brought back an old Pride Palette too. I should get that soon. And! They added a Refer a Friend program! If anyone wants to make a new account to try Warframe, here's my code: A885-8EA5-57E6 :)

On Tuesday, I went to the Tate Britain in London to see their exhibition of the American artist James McNeill Whistler. The exhibition has 190 works from Whistler's 50-years of painting, drawing, printmaking and design. Born in the United States and raised in Russia, Whistler (1834–1903) worked across four continents.

He was often at odds with other artists and was involved in libel cases defending his artistic style.

You are greeted by this painting at the beginning of the exhibition - The Artist in his Studio (1865–6). James Whistler in his studio along with artist Joanna Hiffernan and professional model Emelie Jones, who are relaxing in loose Japanese robes. A display of blue and white ceramics behind them signals Whistler’s interest in East Asian art.

More photos under the cut (don't worry, there aren't 190!)
( Read more... )

Whistler died in London in 1903, aged 69, and is buried in Chiswick Old Cemetery in west London, adjoining St Nicholas Church.

I've barely touched the surface in this post of the many and varied items in the exhibition, which is well worth a visit. It closes at the end of September this year.

ODB: Taking Refuge in God

Jun 18, 2026/in Our Daily Bread/by YMI

June 18, 2026

READ: Psalm 91:9-16

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress. Psalm 91:2

As the outdoor concert started, I felt a single raindrop on my cheek. Looking up, I saw ominous dark clouds. Having paid a steep price for tickets, however, I wasn’t inclined to leave because of a little bad weather. Then umbrellas began to pop open. One woman pulled a plastic grocery bag over her hair. It took just one deafening boom of thunder for the performer to grab her microphone and beg us to take refuge somewhere.

As the rain began to come in torrents, we splashed through muddy puddles and rushed into a nearby school gym. Thoroughly soaked, we huddled with strangers for the next half hour, still hoping the storm would end. When we ventured back out, we saw that the band was packed up and ready to leave.

When the storms of life come, where can we run? Sorrow, worry, illness, and confusion can make us fearful and in need of refuge. We need a strong shelter that’ll protect us. Psalm 91 reminds us that God has promised to rescue us and to be with us in trouble. “Because he loves me . . . I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name” (v. 14). When we need help, we can call on His name and He “will answer” us (v. 15).

When our courage fails us, we can lean into His strength. He’s our shelter in any storm.

— Cindy Hess Kasper

What storms are you experiencing? How can you gain the shelter and refuge that God has promised you?

Gracious God, I take refuge in You. Please be my place of protection and shelter as I trust in You.

For pride month, a rainbow bookshelf by artist Oddment and Tweak.

This week was okay. It was pretty heavy on responsible stuff: getting brakes looked at, making an appointment, doing the first deep clean on the bathroom in far too long. It was at least somewhat satisfying/a relief to get those things done, but also at times frustrating and certainly not "fun." While I did read every day, it felt like my progress was very slow on that front. Partially understandable because other things were taking up my time, but also not happy about it. At least we had a good time on Monday with a nice walk and bit of storm chasing. Did my work walks. Work itself was a mess for several days. Hoping for next week to feel better.

My reading for the week.

Goals for the week:

I did make a doctor appointment
I finished reading A House with Good Bones
I read most of (though did not quite finish) Rogue Protocol
I put my laundry away
I helped select horses for an upcoming model show (almost done)
I tried to catch up on DW, but didn't quite manage to
I did not work on my reading page
We went in for the brake inspection (to bad news about more stuff needing doing)
I did neaten up the shelf where the video games live
I read more of, but did not finish, Before the Broken Star
I started sorting through my pics from the botanic gardens
I did mostly unfuck the bathroom! I cleaned under the sink, cleaned out the cabinet, cleaned the freestanding drawers both inside and outside, I cleaned and organized the counter, I cleaned out the bin of bath stuff and everything in it, I gave the toilet a deep clean, Alex cleaned the tub, and I tackled about a third of the Scary Corner (a difficult to reach spot between the toilet and the tub that has literal years of dust buildup.)

Tracked habits:

Work - 5/7
Household Maintenance - 5/7
Physical Activity - 7/7
Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 0/7
Non-fiction Writing - 2/7 - one day of over 1000 words, one day of over 500, and one additional day of less than 500
Meta Work - 3/7
Personal Writing - 4/7
Other Creative Things - 1/7
Reading - 7/7 - I finished A House with Good Bones and started Rogue Protocol; I continued my ebook side-read Before the Broken Star; Alex and I read more of Camp Damascus.
Attention to Media - 5/7 - Sunday we watched some book reviews and game videos; Monday watched and listened to storm chasing; Tuesday I do not remember what we had on in the background; Wednesday was news, then book, then game videos; Thursday was storm chase and game videos.
Video Games - 0/7
Social Interaction - 6/7

Total words written: 2873 on reviews and my thoughts on ebook availability

Current Mood: exhausted

The other day it was just too hot for my full walk and I came home via the top of our block. In recompense I got to see an enormous black cat sitting on his front steps. Couldn't see a single white hair on him.

Anyways enough of me being goofy: HI!! Work has been WYLIN lately so today while I was taking a break and getting my photosynthesis on, I stumbled on a video from a YouTuber named Mireirei about things you can do to fix a broken attention span! For those who want the TLDR:

➜ have a project
➜ play story-based games
➜ books with short chapters
➜ go to the movies
➜ stop wearing headphones (when walking around in nature)

I already have a project thanks to once again rotating my OC x canon ship rotisserie-style 24/7, but I like the other tips too and I’m gonna slowly but surely try them out! I have to shamelessly admit that I’ve found myself just endlessly scrolling on YouTube Shorts more and more, so I’m doing my best to nip that in the bud AHEAD OF TIME so that I don’t fall into shitty patterns! One step at a time…orz

For the past couple of weeks, I have continually been getting kudos from guests on an X-Men drabble I wrote mostly as an angry response to the release of X3 back in 2005. I posted it to AO3 along with those other old fics I deemed good enough for back when I first got my account a decade an a half ago, and before this onslaught it had about 250 hits or so. As of right now, that drabble has kudos for 48 guests, as well as two registered users. Obviously there is some sort of bot thing going on there. But I am extremely confused as to its nature, or intentions. There have been no accompanying comments, no scammers popping up with offers anywhere within the time period, no explanation.
Purchased the extended edition of the original Baldur's Gate, which I've gotten the impression should work well enough on a modern PC, tonight, so I'm definitely playing it sometime. When, of course, remains in question. Juneteenth as a federal holiday still remains uncancelled, and all the logistics people have put everything into place for the holiday, but that still doesn't mean much...

1. For anyone interested in the preparations for the NY Knicks Ticker Tap Parade up the Canyon of Heroes tomorrow - Go HERE.

( intel on their security measures for the Parade )

AHM (cubical wall mate): Are you excited for the Parade tomorrow?
ME: No. I'm staying home and going to a doctor's appointment in Brooklyn. I don't like crowds.
AHM: I'm thinking of stepping out to see it - or watching from a friend's office.
Me: I don't know how much you'll see - it starts where we are - but on the other side of Bowling Green Park and National Museum of the American Indian. Plus it's over 500,000 people.

They are closing White Hall Street R and W Subway Station - actually, I think it's the station I use to get to work. So, I'm glad on staying in Brooklyn. Commuting into and out of Manhattan tomorrow is going to be a nightmare - well unless you are taking the Staten Island Ferry? If I were a Knicks fan, lived in South Brooklyn and owned a car? I'd drive to Staten Island and take the ferry. Or just take the NYC Ferry, except the Staten Island ferry is free - and running every fifteen minutes.

Breaking Bad who up until 10 AM this morning was coming into work tomorrow, decided "screw it", and to stay home. ( Read more... )

And here's the Planned Service Changes on Mass Transit Tomorrow (actually that link should work for planned service changes at any time. I honestly think the folks from Staten Island have the best route to and from the Parade, also the best service to and from it. The City is like : "hey we're running Staten Island Ferry every 15 minutes and it's free, why are you complaining?" (Shame everything else isn't free or running that often.)

They sent us an email with the information and the links at work today.

2. I've yet another new doctor to add to my collection. A new Optometrist, who is a doctor. They usually are. And takes my insurance. Why? I couldn't get in fast enough with my NYU Langone Opthamologist. Earliest is August 31. And I'm worried about my right eye. So I scheduled an appointment with the new doctor for tomorrow afternoon around 1 pm, I tried for the morning but the doctor isn't in tomorrow morning for some undisclosed reason.

Why? On Sunday? I started seeing a weird strand like a cobweb strand but it was a light, in my peripheral vision. ( eye issues )

3. Laguardia delayed flights again. (If you plan on flying in and out of NYC in the foreseeable future - might I suggest JFK?). The reason? That sink hole they found on runway 4 has re-emerged as a depression which is raising safety concerns and they've decided to work throughout the night to fix it, and then hopefully open up the runways again this morning.

See this is why it is important to invest in infrastructure. Although to be fair - Laguardia is built on a landfill. It's on an island.

Tripping and falling into immortality was typically a challenge to a person’s faith, all religions having something to say about the supposed inevitability of death, but she had grown up decidedly pagan. Her faith had been placed in the sun and moon and mountains and rivers, which changed without dying, and so she counted herself among their ranks as just another natural phenomenon. The environmentalist activism was a later but logical addition: while others talked of preserving the natural world for future generations, she quite selfishly wanted to keep her old gods around as long as she lived.

I went to see the Backrooms movie a second time today and like it even more now. I also brought my two best friends, and they liked it a lot too! I wasn't sure they would, as they haven't seen the YouTube series, but I'm really happy they enjoyed it. I have many more theories after this second watch too. Hopefully I'll find some time to write them down soon.

I think there were even more leaves this week than last!

10 Hakurei turnips (without greens; I mostly chose smaller ones)
8 stalks of broccoli with leaves
2 big bunches of collards
2 bunches of Bright Lights Swiss chard
2 ENORMOUS heads of green lettuce
2 bunches of cilantro (swapped for more collards, because I couldn’t face any more turnips, and they’re the hardiest of the leaf options (and there’s no way I’m bringing the herb of the devil home to give to someone else))
1 pound of spinach (big leaves; for cooking)
1 pound of garlic scapes

First thoughts: perhaps I will give one of my coworkers surprise lettuce. Some kind of beans and greens dish with some collards. Saute the spinach and chard with scapes and onions, then freeze for later. Green salad with lettuce, turnip, radishes, kohlrabi (still have some of each from last week), plus some nuts/seeds and another protein (hard-boiled egg? tuna?). Lettuce-hummus wraps (though I should figure out something else to add to the filling). Pureed scapes in oil, to use slowly through the season. Pickled garlic scapes. Perhaps an attempt at saag with tofu instead of paneer. Possibly fridge-pickled turnips & radishes (ie get a larger jar and add to the batch of fridge pickles started last week with the kale stems). Sauteed broccoli with scapes and tofu (over rice? with ginger? and maybe yangnyeom sauce?).

Any other greens-heavy recipe ideas are welcome.

ODB: With Friends Like These . . .

Jun 17, 2026/in Our Daily Bread/by YMI

June 17, 2026

READ: Job 11:7-20

To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his. Job 12:13

“I know you better than you know yourself!” As a young man, I heard that confident declaration from a friend. Her intentions were good, but my complicated life as an adopted missionary kid had been shaped across four continents and cultures. She didn’t really know me.

Zophar, a friend of Job’s, sounded wise in his assessment of Job’s difficulties. “Can you fathom the mysteries of God?” Zophar asked him (Job 11:7). “They are higher than the heavens above” (v. 8). Who can argue with that? But then Zophar dared speak of something he couldn’t know: Job’s heart. Without evidence, he proclaimed, “If you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then . . . you will stand firm and without fear” (vv. 14-15).

Job responded sarcastically, “Wisdom will die with you! But I have a mind as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know all these things?” (12:2-3). Job’s reality was so complex that even he didn’t know what was taking place (see Job 1-2). He correctly said, “To God belong wisdom and power” (12:13). It didn’t come from Zophar, who presumed to have authority and insight that weren’t his.

Our friends may need our loving counsel from time to time. But usually friends in crisis need us to bring their names in prayer to the one who truly does know them.

— Tim Gustafson

When has someone been truly helpful to you in a crisis? How can you help another in a difficult situation today?

Heavenly Father, please help me rejoice and relax in the wonderful truth that you truly know me and still love me.
