Ma twll yn y pridd yn Alltwalis lle taflaf fy mhryderon

My life remains much too medical, but with neat things to read.

1. Via [personal profile] selkie: "Undzer Mishpokhe: A Queer Yiddish Curriculum Supplement." Let's hear it nokh a mol for In geveb.

2. Via [personal profile] a_reasonable_man: the Catalogue of Ships incorporated into a Roman-era mummy. It makes sense as a magical text to me. Who wouldn't want so many heroes and ships on their side with all that underworld to cross?

3. I was not confident until I saw the illustrations as well as the title that I had really read, in the same elementary school library that introduced me to Alan Garner and Peter Dickinson and Madhur Jaffrey, Leon Garfield's Mister Corbett's Ghost (1968). I am intrigued by the starrily cast television film which may not have existed my first time around with it.

P.S. Via [personal profile] sholio: I had no idea the musk ox was a megagoat. I am delighted.

Ehz, then, thank you for the calibration. (If one cannot feud with one's ride-or-die about their drunk regional accent, with whomst...?)
In other news, the cat's ears are broken, but we have at some expense found out it's not a stroke, but a sudden massive invasion of kitty malassezia. GUESS WHAT WE HAVE AT HOME *powders him with vigor*
I think I would like my land-based manifestation to be a MEGAGOAT. It's so FAFO.
