If you've never used Smashwords before, it's an ebook vendor that will sell you an epub file (that YOU OWN). You can put that file on your phone or ereader or whatever device you use to read ebooks.

A nice alternative to Amz that also happens to pay great royalty rates to authors!

I mean I realize the system wasn’t conceived that way - it’s now like 3 systems in a trench-coat from 50yrs of technological advances piled on. But now that it IS like that, I need someone clever about this to guide me in how to use it. I’ll have to call them back, don’t I? Ask for tutoring? Sigh.
It also seems like a stupid system: I need to artificially make one huge room colder to have heat in the kitchen but also… fiddle with it so it stops burning fossil fuel when I think it’s enough, bc it can’t do it alone anymore bc I lied? What do?!

And I can do that and did, but it’s so stupid as a system - it’s terrible that the central thermostat is in (what happens to be) the warmer place, and also in a HUGE room, but I don’t know how to make it work otherwise. So I’ll now be… colder-ish in the living room? Or ask boiler for more instead?
December 9, 2025 at 8:56 PM
Basically the great room (about 70m2?) has the gen. thermostat at the living room end so if I want heat in other places I need to demand like, 20° to the boiler but cap the *valves* in the living room UNDER that, or that heats first and the boiler stops bc it thinks all is good, yeah?
December 9, 2025 at 8:53 PM
I thought a few days ago that the general thermostat being in THE area of the great room where radiators work (3/4 of those who always did) was an issue. Read up on thermostatic valves and you’re not supposed to put one where the general one is, so yeah that was an issue
And it’ll remain one :(
December 9, 2025 at 8:50 PM
The very last radiators (on the branch that we at least *understand* why it’s recalcitrant) have given in: the big one 2 days ago, tepid at 1st & warm yesterday, & the small end one, finally warm today!
I *think* I grokked how to set the thermostatic valves? Kitchen warm too, all good 👍🏼
🤞🏼it lasts!

I did like, 5 things on my list today, but of course there’s a big one left that I’m really procrastinating on

It’s unseasonably warm out (and beautifully sunny) right now, with a forecast of a fortnight of higher temperatures.
Of course I ended up sans heat at the coldest time and now I have it it’s warm out. Of course.

what is even going on y'all
Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

fancy that
Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

So in summary: YAY HEATING!
boo mysteries.

Hope I can get a proper conversation w/ a knowledgeable guy who can tell me WHY I need to cheat w/ the boiler to get this result, but yeah. I feel better, even if I’m annoyed at the mysteries.

Thank you for being there, friends 🧡

Okay, update!! There’s still a problem branch of the circuit refusing to heat up at all in the great room BUT by experimenting with the thermostatic valves on each radiator I managed to get the KITCHEN to warm up! I have heat (nearly) everywhere!
Since I leave Friday I’m not calling them back yet.

Stayed up too late *despite* melatonin AND despite firm plan I’d made to sleep earliER instead 🤦🏻‍♀️
So… hungry again, leaving bed for a snack.
Hope I’ll manage to be productive “tomorrow” with all that but I kiiiiinda doubt it, sigh

I think I’m good with my dice collection for now; what I need is to find a way to use them :)
In the meantime though, it’s made me happy to slowly build it up. Here’s all the d12, my favorite shape of them all. Not a great picture bc it’s tough to photograph, it turns out!

The information in this video applies everywhere in the US, not just NYC. The examples of what a real warrant looks like vs the ICE permission slip is very helpful.
Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

I’m sick so:
Even self-care can turn into another stressful job. This is just a little reminder to take the pressure off when you can. It’s okay to just be sometimes. 🐾

You make the thing because you love the thing
and you love the thing because someone else loved it
enough to make you love it.
And with that your heart like a tent peg pounded
toward the earth’s core.
And with that your heart on a beam burns
through the ionosphere.
And with that you go to work.
