"If I had a Deathnote, I wouldn't tell anyone, but there will be signs."

My back porch is within ten yards of a busy road with a busy sidewalk. A fence and some shady trees block line of sight, but not sound. A group of young teens (tweens?) were talking as they passed. I have no idea what the context was, but SAME KID... SAME.

OH: You can’t just sit at home all day illuminating.

I’ve got to say it peaked my interest! Because yeah, illumination is hard work. You’ve got to get away from the desk and get outside sometimes.

I realized as the conversation went on, that she said “ruminating”. And sure, that’s true too. But less interesting to me, the eavesdropper.

Trans person: "Ah, an Easter egg hunt?"

Artists: Lots of confused stares and one appreciative chuckle.

"Just put it on the shoe rack."
"… That's not a shoe rack. Those are CD shelves. Why are you using CD shelves as a shoe rack?"
"Since I no longer have CDs, and after the movers asked me, 'where you do want this shoe rack?' "
