1. Today I applied for healthcare from the state of Massachusetts. Because my current insurance is no longer affordable, not very helpful to me, and about to be terminated regardless at the end of March. Wish me luck.

2. There's a new issue of The Cascadia Subduction Zone, meaning the issue six months previous is now freely available online. It contains my poems "Censorship" (for Cato and Adresteia) and "The Marriage He Saw Beneath the Shade" (for Arthur Machen and [livejournal.com profile] ashlyme). Why don't I own Tanith Lee's Space Is Just a Starry Night?

3. Does anyone have a trusted recipe for a kind of sorrel borscht called schav or scharv? I saw it last night on a menu online and remembered that my grandfather had asked me to make it for him, very late in his life. I didn't quite understand about the sorrel. He kept saying "green borscht" and I was racking my brain trying to reverse-engineer borscht from dark leafy greens like kale or spinach and of course that wasn't correct. We're past both his birthday and yahrzeit at this point in the year, but I could still learn.

4. Charlie Chaplin wrote a novel. I'll have to get a copy of that.

5. Stone Telling hath a blog! (I just finished answering a questionnaire for it.) Also a Patreon page. You should donate. A picture of Dashing Mippo says so.

The bread pudding is great when reheated, too.
