Weekend was crazy busy, and I ended up with a spoons crash on Sunday midafternoon. Ended up skipping church.

It was a really good weekend, though.

Mind you, it's now quarter to ten and I'm not yet in bed.

Going now.

⚠️ Mild spoilers

Personal rating 9/10

There were some very interesting story beats this season even if we didn't get much movement on the Operation Strix front!

Cut for mild spoilers. )

No confirmation yet on a fourth season, but I'd be very surprised if we didn't get one.

Fifty years after New Zealand stopped whaling, humpback population showing signs of recovery

As the decades rolled on, female whales had more options, and the males were getting more competitive.

"Then we see as the population gets bigger, there's this kind of preference towards older males. And it just shows us that whaling and the reduction in the population size has led to changes in these behaviours through time."

[personal profile] hagar_972
Speaking from the privileged point of having advanced alerts and a bomb shelter and not living up North where tanks drive in the streets, the worst part about the Intermittent Missile Attacks is the boredom. Seriously. I'm tired, the sirens are down-wearying, and Outside is mostly shut down because having more than 50 persons in a space is forbidden in case of IMA.

I have a job that keeps going and I don't have small children (school is out, because nobody wants to try and herd a school's worth of kids into a bomb shelter several times a day) so seriously, I'm Very Very Lucky.

I'm also bored.

new to dreamwidth...

... and i think i'm figuring things out. slowly. this is the second time i'm writing this out as i clicked on something i shouldn't have and wandered away from the page. oops.

i spent a lot of time last night just exploring the site, trying to find anything related to my fandoms, which was harder than i had imagined it would be. we over on the hellsite love to complain about how useless the search function is, but at least it was simple. i have no idea how to begin navigating this. i found quite a few icons, though what you're supposed to do with them is still ever so slightly beyond me.

i did stumble across a jeeves and wooster kinkmeme, completely by chance, which was a win. i had read many of the fics over on ao3, but it was cool to discover their origins. it's dead though. like, no prompts filled in 5 years dead. which is a shame as i found quite a few prompts i'd like to take a stab at. i need to learn dreamwidth ettiquete -- is it acceptable to fill a prompt made over 5 years ago? coming from tumblr i don't see why not, but this is a completely different ball game. i've never used a site like dreamwidth before. by the time i was both aware and intrested in livejournal it had been bought up by that russian company, and from what i hear the western side of the site is living on borrowed time. all this to say, i have nothing to go on. from what i've observed so far, most people here seem to have come from livejournal. i haven't. 

still, i'm fairly determined to work this all out. i'm intriqued. i worry about the state of tumblr, and need somewhere to retreat to should it all go tits up, which is looking increasingly likely. 

i'd like to use dreamwidth as a way of getting back into writing. or, perhaps more accuratly, a new phase of writing. i am very much in the thrall of the adhd gremlins and i only realised yesterday that i'm on the wrong bloody medication. the adhd clinic (private, nhs waiting time for a medication review was an insane two years. like. what.) perscribed me medikenet xl, and the pharmacy have been sending me the regular, which has a large risk of drowsiness. i have been perpetually exhuatsed for weeks now and i only just put two and two together. mum got on to the doctors yesterday who said they'd send out a new perscription, but apparently they can't as the adhd clinic may have written the wrong medication on the shared care letter. so they fucked up. private healthcare really isn't what it's cracked up to be. i would say always stick with our good ol' nhs but. well. *gestures vaguely at the state of it*.

welp, that's it for a first post, i think. i shall now wander back into the great unknown. 

The Missing Middle

elf: We have met the enemy and he is us. (Met the enemy)
[personal profile] elf
Found a nice gaming article on Bluesky (Three Tiers of RPG Publishing), which led me to another article, which I found insightful and clever (and a bit sad, as accurate talk about economics these days tends to be), and then hit the bit that blew my mind.

They Killed Normal and Called It Progress: "Julia Roberts, Applebee's, Bandcamp, your manager, and the death of everything in between. (Also, Sweetgreen is the A24 of dining and I will die on this hill.)"
Have you noticed that the middle is gone from everything? Restaurants, companies, careers, music, retail, the economy itself. What replaced it is a barbell: one enormous weight on each end, nothing in the center, and most of us trying not to get crushed by the bar.

And the replacement does look better every single time, I grant you that. The A24 film is better than the $40 million adult drama from 2007, yeah, we can all agree on that. The Sweetgreen bowl is better than the Applebee’s chicken parm, sure. Your favorite Substack is sharper than the mid-list magazine that folded in 2019. Every replacement is a genuine upgrade. But every replacement serves fewer and fewer people.
That's not the mind-blowing part. That's the thesis, the baseline, the part that he spends half of the ~3000 word essay explaining, giving examples of, making neat comparisons across different industries.

It's amazing that it doesn't get boring because it truly is the same damn pattern )

[personal profile] yuuago
+ Work was nuts today; a really gnarly assignment crossed my desk and I'm like, ew. This one is going to be such a pain. (But I will manage.)

+ Going to Edmonton next week for a concert. Looking forward to it! Feels kind of silly to be away for three days, two of which will be spent on a bus, but I suppose a lot of people drive down to there for just one day in a similar way, so.

+ Received my FTH assignment. This one is going to be challenging, but interesting. I will need to do canon review and probably also some research. Hmm. (It's Hetalia, Liet/Pru.) Maybe I can make some notes while on the bus?

+ I'm going to Winnipeg in October to see Sabaton perform! *_* I was supposed to see them in Edmonton several years ago, but that trip never ended up happening. Anyway, the people I've mentioned the trip to generally react like "Eew, Winnipeg" but honestly, I'm pretty jazzed about it. Looking forward to the museums and art gallery and maybe also the zoo if I have time. Should be fun!

I participated in [community profile] comment_bingo for the first time this year! Ultimately, I got three line bingos. It gave me the kick in the ass to comment on some fics I'd bookmarked but hadn't yet left feedback on, and to dig into my Marked for Later, so I'd call it an all-around success. ^^

Continuing the queer short film recs, thanks to [personal profile] muscle_wizard sharing this one in my last post:



An older woman with a crush on someone in her circle approaches her younger co-worker for advice on how to ask out another woman for the first time. This really got me—charming and moving at the same time.

Icon and Fanfic

I just changed my default icon from my old cartoon fox to my SCA coat of arms. The first time I showed up to a meeting of my shire, I said I was there to nerd out about history (hence the book) and do crafts (hence the knot), and that has been holding up well.

Been busy the last couple of days and haven't posted. We got my mom ready and took her to the doctor, which is a big job these days, but we got it done and hopefully the doctor visit will result in some progress.

On the fannish side, for the first time in years my fanfic spigot has opened, and draft Honzuki fics are pouring out. I've got one complete draft one-shot and another that's most of the way there. I don't know how long this will last, and I kind of don't know what to do with them? Like, "post to Ao3" is the obvious thing, but where does one find beta readers these days? Do I need a beta reader that much? Do I need to do canon review (and if so, how many of the canon's three-dozen-plus volumes need reviewing)? What do I want out of posting these fics? It seems like a waste not to, but if I ask myself whether I want comments and kudos the answer seems to be "not that much" (on the other hand, disabling comments is not an appealing notion). Well, these are solvable problems if I calm down and work through them.

Dandelion is a very sweet short film starring Ava Lalezarzadeh as Margaret, a queer teen in the foster care system in the 1970s, and Vic Michaelis as Joyce, the volunteer trying to find her a new placement after she's kicked out of convent school. The short's a lovely standalone, but I was really happy to hear it's being made into a full-length movie!
