It's been about two months since I started creating my wiki for the German folk tales I have translated. Since then, I have put about a fifth of all my translations on it. At my current speed, it will take me until late May to add them all - although by that date I will probably have a hundred further finished translations.

But once I have reached that stage, I can expand the wiki in new ways. For instance, I can add short essays to popular narrative tropes in German folk tales. A lot of these aren't exactly clear to the casual reader (or do _you_ know what a "Wahles" is?).

I also want to add links from the tales to places where people have used them in other media, such as @rorystarr 's excellent "Fireside Fairytales" (really, watch his show on YouTube!).

in reply to Jürgen Hubert

do you think you'll ever do anything like the Aarne–Thompson–Uther types or are you more focused on building your own trope ontology?
in reply to Eleanor Konik

@eleanorkonik

Maybe. I do think the ATU Index has some serious flaws, but at some point I want to read through it and figure out which tale types apply.

For the second day, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is in blackout mode, forced to rely on diesel generators after losing external power. Energoatom says Russia is deliberately keeping it disconnected, despite the power line on the Ukrainian side being fully operational.

Shit. Just had a couple of paracetamol and now I'm worried I've inadvertently given myself *double #autism*.
I'd better keep a close eye on my problem-solving skills, my creative & analytical skills, my consistency, honesty & sense of justice. If they improve I've *definitely* got the Big Double A.

Sadly, one must include selfishness, insensitivity to others' feelings, dangerous love of speed (whether it be in cars or on bicycles) and the tendency to monopolise conversations at parties with boring monologues about Microsoft OS versions.

(I have a number of close friends on the spectrum. Sometimes it ain't easy with them.)

in reply to LillyLyle/Count Melancholia

@LillyHerself Oh, there's a whole list of not-quite-as-agreeable traits. I have to confess I don't like speed. And I too would be bored by MS OS monologues.
But I could talk your ear off about Miles Davis recording session dates.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says U.S. weapons will continue flowing into Ukraine, funded by allies.

He recalled a July call with President Trump: “Mark, we’re opening the floodgates again, lethal and non-lethal aid will go to Ukraine. But allies will foot the bill.”

Rutte agreed. So far, $2 billion has been committed, with more packages in the pipeline.

Last night's orchestra rehearsal was very odd. The conductor was trying to get us to learn rhythms by associating them with 1970s children's TV show names

"captain pugwash, captain pugwash, tales of the riverbank,tales of the riverbank, bod ... bod"

I have no idea what the youngsters in the band thought about that.

in reply to Graham Dunning

@grahamdunning I think what stopped me from ever finishing the project was that I was trying to continue with the upbeat party spirit of "everyone's looking good tonight" instead of just stringing together any vaguely sensible phrase that fit the rhythm. It was too hard for me!


“The most honest person I've met recently was a VP at a tech company who told me: "I manage a team of twelve people who create documents for other teams who create documents for senior leadership who don't read documents. I make £150k a year. It's completely absurd, and I'm riding it as long as I can while building something real on the side."

Georgia is the only state with work requirements for low-income residents to access Medicaid benefits. They say they are a model the rest of the US should follow.

They spend twice as much on administrative costs as on healthcare.

Eligibility requirements for social safety nets are incredibly inefficient and prevent many who would benefit and are eligible for benefits from receiving benefits.

The cruelty is the point.
