I've decided to post these in weekly batches. This is the fourth of five. I'm posting these here because Blogspot's comment apparatus sucks and also because no one will comment otherwise.

22. How To: Move Cross-Country, Trial Therapists

Make a weighted factor model sheet with a few criteria you consider important...

Be polite and as informative as you feel comfortable with, and try to get a sense of whether you'd be alright with working with this person, telling them some of your embarrassing secrets, and being generally vulnerable with them. If you get a bad feeling for any reason, you should probably not work with them, unless your sense of "getting a bad feeling" goes off basically constantly.

23. Seven-ish Evidentials From My Thought-Language

6. Best guesses. The speaker might have any or none of the other sources of knowledge listed here, and has synthesized them into a best guess at the truth without knowing for sure. Unusual both in that in the past tense or perfective aspect, this becomes a mirative (a surprise-marking affix), and that unlike the other categories, an explicit numerical value (usually) strictly between 0 and 1 - or an equivalent - is required as part of the evidential - to decline is ungrammatical. 

24. Join Me Here In This Darkness (And Fight On Anyway)

There is a kind of nobility in doing a doomed thing well. There is a sort of tragic sweetness in fighting to the last.

If you're already thoroughly keyed up and ready to snap, you're in a headspace where you're likelier to suspect those around you of being just as ready to strike.

26. Live Absurdly Decadently By Ancient Standards

For a wildcard category, we can - again, relatively inexpensively - use modern materials to do things that people of long ago only barely dreamed of.

27. Several More Delicious Scalable Recipes for Posterity

A last remnant of a now mostly-gone Northern Korean food culture. I transcribed the recipe personally in the interests of archiving and repeatability; I got Grandma Kim to let me measure her handfuls and splashes and pinches and "enough"s.

28. And Our Redemption Arc is Coming Up...

For myself, I tend towards the diachronic side, but not completely. When I think about the course of my life to date, I tend to divide it into rough eras or arcs; I've been the same person throughout, with mostly the same core drives and motivations and capacities and interests, but have clearly grown and changed through it all. If you think it might be helpful for you to do the same, here are a few tips...
