Writing’s going great, thanks. #perplexed

Page with three lines of text:

Maimonides and His Muslim Neighbors
All the Ra'is al-Yahud Crap
Calendar Controversies if Necessary

I don't want to jinx it but I think I'm actually in decent shape for the talk I'm giving next month. Nowhere close to done, but know what I'm doing/where I'm going with it and plenty of time left to write, revise, and practice. #perplexed

Not getting a lot of writing done today so going to spend the rest of my work time reading. #perplexed

This slide is extremely unlikely to stay in the deck for my talk on leaning into authorial voice in writing about Maimonides, so I'm just sharing it here instead. #perplexed

A powerpoint slide. White background with some gray circles and an orange pull-quote shaped square on the left. Two icons for two podcasts: The one for "Cup of Justice" is gray and is looking down into a cup of coffee with the statue of blind justice as a design in the foam. The one for "Something Was Wrong" is cotton candy pink with just the name of the podcast in a bold sans serif font. The text on the slide reads: “Make this the most you thing you can. — Tiffany Reese, as interviewed by Mandy Matney, on starting a true-crime podcast in an oversaturated market"

A bit of personal book history. #perplexed

Today begins the hard part: the philosophy chapter of the Maimonides biography, an undertaking that is probably every bit as ridiculous and implausible as it sounds. It’s like that one time I tried to write a one-paragraph précis of Don Quijote. #perplexed

Occupational hazard: Having this song as an earworm. #perplexed www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMf1...

Working on this section today. Progress mostly looks like deleting entire paragraphs. #perplexed #amwriting #amediting

Making progress, finally. It's mostly progress by pruning excess verbiage, but it's progress all the same. #amwriting #perplexed

What Do You Think It Is by Debra Martz
The way these two American White Pelicans were looking at their reflections on the water made me laugh.

How would you caption this image?

Pelicans stand on a concrete ledge by the water, their reflections mirrored on the calm surface. Two smaller birds join them, creating a peaceful scene in the warm sunlight. Photography by Debra Martz

Up next. #amreading #perplexed

#ebay; *Why* is it a requirement that return requests (for faulty goods)*must* be accompanied by a picture?

I mean, you can't see from a picture of a microfilter that its internals are bust. The only way to know is try to use it and not be able to make a phone call or connect to the internet.

#perplexed 😞

Up to the part of writing about Maimonides that reminds me why I'm a lit person and not a philosopher... #perplexed

I've noticed some people using #stubborn in a negative sense. #perplexed

Why do people post images containing only words to Mastodon? Especially then they've also gone to the trouble of typing in the same words as alt-text.

#perplexed

Well, go figure. I’m now totally perplexed. Powered the system up this morning, and it works. Nothing different from yesterday when it wasn’t working, just an 18 hour power down.

So what’s my take away here? Firstly, I’ve lost all faith in the Presonus interface. Secondly, I’ve bought myself some extra time to explore alternatives, but an alternative will have to be found. Thirdly, I need to make hay while the sun is shining.
