sidleypkhermitYou don't want to see what the dictation software gave me when I tried to wish everyone a happy Passover properly in Hebrew. (It can spell kaiju frog, though.)
I fucked up my shoulder, so this is an experiment in composition. I am using the dictation feature on my laptop, rather than doing any typing, until this stops hurting so much.
Thanks to some conversations in the Due South discord, I have discovered that I Absolutely Cannot write the sex pollen trope even as a thought exercise, but my failure at sex pollen has resulted in what may be my funniest story idea ever and one that I think will be truly worthy of the crackfic square in my whatif_AU bingo card. The dictation software is having a lot of problems with the words in this paragraph.
One thing I've discovered so far is that you can begin a dw entry in the new composition page by turning on dictation, but if you then turn it off to take care of any minor edits, it will not allow you to turn dictation back onto resume and you will have to go do it in TextEdit or something and copy and paste. This is still better than dealing with the old new post page.
New updates to the Numb3rs WIP are on their way -- delayed, but not halted, by my physical difficulties -- featuring voicemail from the future, time-travel concepts explained with the use of nearby salt shakers, and some of the results of my research into record albums that boomers in their 20s might've liked having sex to.

Hope your shoulder (and the rest of you) is feeling better soon.
