eventually i may do a more proper intro post, but as a placeholder for now:
hi, i’m alyssa, or lyssa, or alice. or a bunch of other names if you know me well.
i don’t know yet what i’ll about yet, but possibly my daily life, or things i read or watch, or write.

incidentally, Anna Bruegel (one of those no-disambiguation-required painters, a daughter of Pieter Bruegel the Elder) married a different painter referred to as [name] the Younger.
the Bruegel family sure had a lot of painters
turns out "Bruegel the Elder" and "Bruegel the Younger" are actually ambiguous. because there was a Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a Pieter Bruegel the Younger, a Jan Bruegel the Elder, and a Jan Bruegel the Younger. not counting all the other painters in the Bruegel family that aren't called "the Elder" or "the Younger"

it is sometimes surprising which words with similar forms in germanic and romance languages are romance -> germanic borrowings versus germanic -> romance borrowings versus both separately inherited from PIE
the number of games that nintendo will sell you with "hentai" in the title is surprising to me

apologies for catering to the straights
