Last Notes npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Here's how I understand Dew Point: on a normal day, water will condense on a cool (say 40°F) glass of water. On a warm humid day with a dew point of 60°, water will condense on a warmer, up to 60° glass of water. On a corn-sweat heat-advisory day like today, with a dew point of 80°, water will condense on anything up to 80°. It will condense on your bike and glasses and any "room-temperature" object you take outside. An 80° warm glass of water will look like this today. https://media.spinster.xyz/b2af767f973b2e572816a0f03837675bc8203a8a2b6ce5a8620bdfd9691c6157.png npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley I’m frustrated that my limit to bicycling is not my muscles joints heart or lungs, but my freaking digestive system. I seem to have “exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome”. I biked 350 miles this week, avoiding heat by riding at dawn, and felt fine until I seriously threw up today. 🤬🤮😭🚲 I started doing moderate (25-50 miles) dawn rides when a couple centuries trashed my digestion a few months ago. Thought I figured it out but no, there’s a mile limit even in the morning cool. Weird I don’t get any other physical signals to stop. It’s true that 350 miles in one week is the most I have done in years. Obviously I won’t repeat it. But I wish that I could if I wanted to. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley How the heck did you figure that out?? Which color went on which hexagon etc.?? npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Even after many years, this video continues to amaze me. https://youtu.be/WHoopcEz_IU?si=_b23ryl1ZJSePiBy npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley It was indeed an ordeal, requiring visits to 2 stores on a hot sweaty day by bike. Wal-Mart's paint department was half out of color chips and the mixer operator didn't know how to find colors except on chips. So I pedaled on to Sherwin-Williams, which had lots of chips but only "satin" base in small amounts. To spend $8 instead of $35 I went with satin, which will look a bit off but the color will look a bit off anyway since there's no way to match it perfectly. Here's how it looks freshly applied; it should dry a bit lighter. I'll probably hang a picture over it, which I could have done without patching the holes in the first place. #nevent1q…xhk3 https://media.spinster.xyz/f50c97404a71e7968133f6c1a419f18de2a04084e3e5642e7b065b50fa40566b.jpeg npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Sadly, I only got as far as sanding this because the can of leftover wall paint in the garage had solidified.

Other than clothes, I have to wash bath towels, hand towels, kitchen towels, and of course sheets and pillowcases. Very occasionally I'll have a white garment I want to keep nice, which I will set aside to wash with towels or sheets that get a little pod of peroxide whitener. Everything else I just throw together and wash on "normal" as needed, which is usually more than once a week. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Are my old ovaries better or worse for my post-Covid autoimmune diseases (Crohn's disease, bronchiectasis)? npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley And AI's killing both! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8r-tXRLazs&list=RDGMEMJQXQAmqrnmK1SEjY_rKBGA&index=27 npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Why do people keep saying "General Motors" on the internet? npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley She’s very funny npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley This just visited my head so I looked it up and played it.

Episode 198: Alasdair Gunn Fills Cori's Royal Sandals https://heterodorx.substack.com/p/episode-198-alasdair-gunn-fills-coris With Cori on indefinite hiatus, gender critical statistics aggregator, writer, designer, miracle cancer survivor, and friend o’ the pod’ Alasdair Gunn humbly offers to serve in his absence. We discuss why we don’t want to discuss gender. According to our recording platform’s AI assistant, we also talk about: (stuff written by AI, including "The importance of respecting host, John Corey, and future guest planning") We miss you John Corey! But with replacements like Alasdair Gunn and Riverside’s Large Language Model, we continue on. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley This video is AI. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Dense fog. 100% humidity.

Work should last 3 days. Here's the old AC (the rusted green thing, over 30 years old) and furnace (only 17 I think? not too bad but failed a year and a half ago, requiring expensive repairs) in my driveway. https://media.spinster.xyz/eb306ded5f50baa6996166ce85b3f37de2c43828bc966e5f0ee611b00dc617ea.jpeg npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Ooh that looks so good npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley I suggest those who dislike "Generative AI" call it "Gurgitative AI." ReGeneration is a foundation of Life; reGurgitation chews up and spits out that which Life provides. Similar, but different. I'm not really sure which AI does - or humans, for that matter. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley @nprofile…esqv https://media.spinster.xyz/bf7cd1b2198c276d23aed9d8dcc06aaf9a059705397d098857cdbc18cc007ef2.jpeg npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Lazy #caturday. https://media.spinster.xyz/2f79b83853d51ebb40cf06fc29fb82af8820fab018b39566a5eecaf334d181c4.jpeg npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley I made cream of asparagus soup this morning, with lots of cream (I have to use up the carton).

Mostly vegetarian due to squeamishness. Very occasionally eat fish. Will allow myself to eat birds & mammals if I crave them, but so far haven't. I really just don't like meat. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Not officially yet, but you can't get it anywhere. Kate Farms chocolate nutrition shake is an acceptable substitute, but more expensive. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley New (old) Heterodorx podcast! Episode 196: The Squeaky Wheel Gets The Avocado Oil https://heterodorx.substack.com/p/episode-196-the-squeaky-wheel-gets Heterodorx is on indefinite hiatus while one of us goes through some Life Stuff He Can’t Talk About. But here’s a recording from early April, released today, June 5. So much has already changed! For example, Nina’s favorite nutrition shake, Soylent, is no longer available. SAD! We also discuss vegans, vegetarians, having to eat meat when you don’t want it, a canceled (and then uncanceled) YouTuber, Spirit Island, house-moving helicopters and other Homo wner content, and greatly exaggerating reports of our death. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Astoria, Queens, 1929. Don't know how I'd never seen this Bessie Smith musical short film before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAchCljBr_Q&list=PL0L3vf6TzXf7p6lOZ6YJ6WgUxjFdy2IL6&index=57 npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Remember when environmentalism went from concerns about habitat loss and mass extinctions to “climate change”? And then “climate change” itself got flattened to just “carbon”? Humans gonna human. All my bleeding heart does is make me anemic. It doesn’t save the world. World’s gonna world. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley This is why I screamed and yelled about human overpopulation in my youth. I have since resigned myself to whatever the hell is happening. But it eats my heart sometimes. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley You're not small, just very far away. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley I don't think I'm a "senior" yet by City standards, despite the ravages of Covid. I'm 58. I do get a senior discount at the movie theater tho. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley My house was built in 1956. It's in a "new" part of town that freaked me out when I was a child in the 1970's, because its trees were so small. I grew up in an older neighborhood, in a house built around 1910. It was about 70 years old when I was a kid. My "new" house is now 80 years old. The tiny trees around it have grown big and are starting to die. This is the second one to fall on my property this spring. I hope to hire an arborist to evaluate all the others before one crashes through my roof. Because I'm too low-income to downsize (long story) I'll just keep drawing down my savings to maintain this place until I run out. https://media.spinster.xyz/e7ca23c3e428d5bb3b973040dfbdecf1be77722efb1e266111a9e5006412449e.jpeg npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Bought myself an ice cream maker and made ice cream. Also made warm fudge sauce, since I was already working with chocolate (TERFfles). The two together are AMAZING. Sometimes the things I produce in the kitchen are so good I feel sorry for the rest of the world for not getting to enjoy it. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Itches, burns, flakes and peels. I had to frequently remove dead skin from (ie pick) my ears or else it would accumulate in my ear canals and itch even more. Finally don't have to do that. Big relief. npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley I have had eczema in my ears since my late teens. Doctors have prescribed OTC cortisone cream, calendula cream, and eczema cream, which helped maybe 10% at best. Recently a fellow sufferer told me ocean swimming seemed to improve her symptoms. I had leftover 3% saline solution after switching to 7% for treating my Bronchiectasis (lung condition) so started swabbing my ears with it twice daily. It works. So much better now. Wish I hadn't had to wait until I was 58 to learn this. Wish doctors knew about it. Posting in case anyone with this annoying distracting maddening condition can use this info. MOAR SALT! https://media.spinster.xyz/4acb13f1d78096cdf509e2b94182f672bb1a43e14f1238774af67d728207d9ad.png npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Today I used up the remains of a 40-year-old bottle of Chambord by adding a few tablespoons to a raspberry syrup I was cooking. Contents of this same bottle flavored a ricotta cake frosting when I was 17, and a few other dessert experiments. It continued living in my parents' house after I moved away for 23 years, and during my parents' stint in Malaysia in the late 1980's to early 1990's. It was still there when I moved back to Urbana in 2012, following my father's death, and moved to our new house in 2016. My Momz left it behind when she moved to the "independent living" place half a mile away. I rinsed out the vintage bottle they no longer produce (sad!), and bought 375 fresh milliliters in an inferior bottle at Meijer, because it was on sale. It will likely outlive me. https://media.spinster.xyz/39d5b6e6facf272a7f7660e4ce9d2d387602a0d2031d0774f88b79ffbda962a1.jpeg npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley George and Ira quality cat content https://media.spinster.xyz/9c6f96331f2f1a77fa6c9e9cf08195ddf13bae8ec3869b63e87d3bc90b89bd28.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/7a4aa8a423e274464b57f295bcbd931e6651152ea02632574724362f61b7c3ec.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/d5914fec352820f120bcc83f27feb1306202a20839567ad01ce0bfd4c9c78ee9.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/47b7e0c1624e3807aa6af806b08c5d7e1277df06ce3615ec3a734c9a1ec5e763.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/78cdd9379b95c35d768b29a2ea9d800433fb5b2508f04b4c599c245a3692f72c.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/b9875e92009ab2ff3d813f6ebd728dcb3d2b864ec7161a88584aa99a91193f06.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/aecde68a3969de4d9ea03e3184108cc6f621fe4a4742b16291cf2a4b9c236369.jpeg npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Ira says hi. https://media.spinster.xyz/d20602cd958eb3bbd46f224b7fcfb413a16455fe0e155183977c245f4718fa34.jpeg https://media.spinster.xyz/56b0a208777b89f91bc0b756fbc2e591ac16b1f1ba5f52bd571cf2d59ad8773e.jpeg npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Listening to the latest Informed Dissent podcast: https://informeddissentpodcast.substack.com/p/turban-and-karasic-at-the-apa-the I sure got this 2023 portrait right! https://store.ninapaley.com/product/gender-wars-playing-cards/ https://media.spinster.xyz/138d643102a8499d28b68869f89af4b2a7d8451dc997dcca65e48a56913c40dc.png npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Paris, Illinois.

I know it's not the most simplified. Yet, I seem to be partial to this version of the Jackalope logo. It is to be "bead-blasted" right onto the titanium frame (example here https://carverbikes.com/frames/titanium-gnarvester/ ), one version for each side so it's always running forward. I also designed a long horizontal version, but the cursive integrated one keeps calling to me.

It changed the waist-to-hip ratio. Drawings are more "cartoony" the more they exaggerate certain traits. Women have hourglass figures compared to men, who have V-shapes (big shoulders tapering straight down to narrow hips). This is the nature of (young, fertile) women and men, and exaggerating these traits makes a cartoon more recognizable as essence-of-woman and essence-of-man. It's not all nefarious impossible beauty standards. It's just cartooning, shorthand exaggerating proportions. https://media.spinster.xyz/e8abfefb089c5aa9796d3eb5613e341e9b8f4b8e991a2862439f29592eec7400.png npub1xz4zq4vzlp00767tmaf4exeeeawvemfkvt86q3egxdxmm0upxmkspe8uh7 Nina Paley Having another nosebleed, which started in the shower.
