Thanks to Victoria and bunny Ashito - Victoria writes:

This is Ash(ito), my first bunny. I've only submitted one picture of him before and felt the need to do it again. April 22nd would've marked his 17th birthday. He crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2021. Not a day goes by that I don't think of this little man. I'm crying just typing this. Please remember that even though your pets might be in your life for a little while, you are their entire life. Lots of love to all bunnies and their human parents.

Mid-Nominations Notes and Queries

Thank you for all your nominations at the tag set and thank you particularly for coming back to provide links to sources and lyrics to us after nominating on AO3.

Nominations for this year will close 11:59pm EDT, Saturday 25 April.

Now that we've set up the collection, we wanted to highlight an additional guideline:
In the past, we've received nominations for videos that are dominated by silence or dialogue. Since this is a music-focused event, we suggest you discuss music video nominations with mods if they have significant parts without music. We are likely to reject nominations for music videos where less than half of the video contains music, or where any non-musical parts would make a significant difference to the narrative of the video if excluded.


Further minor query: We've approved 'Daisy Bell - IBM 7094 and Hatsune Miku (Song)' in the past, but it seems a little odd to format IBM 7094 as an artist. 'Would Daisy Bell - Hatsune Miku ft. IBM 7094' work?

It is currently 50% off on Steam, which I believe is as good as it gets in the post-Elden Ring era.

I can STRONGLY rec Chants of Sennaar to anyone who enjoys deduction/puzzle games, and in particular the micro-genre of games that have translating a conlang (in this case, multiple conlangs) as their central mechanic.



Looks like Sable, plays like a cross between Return of the Obra Dinn and Heaven's Vault.

(It makes the excellent choice which Sable also made and which more indie games should go for, namely putting all your characters in face-hiding hoods or masks so you can completely avoid uncanny valley bad face animation and spend your resources on other things instead.)

Made my brain ache in a good way and made me feel clever. I did have to draw maps (my spatial orientaion is terrible, so others may not need to except for one specific maze-like area), and make assorted paper notes to solve various puzzles.

You have to not only successfully translate each language individually, but, later in the game, interpret conversations between pairs of languages. This requires knowing that the languages have different word order -- in a very simple way -- one language does object-first Yoda-speak, several languages vary in how they form plurals, etc., but you do have to be able to translate in a grammatically correct way, not just word by word.

And to get to the "true ending," the game requires you to go all out and "speak" the languages, by using a given language to correctly describe a picture you are given (with no text).

I admit I did get a tiny bit emotional when I made it to the end.

Has a subsidiary stealth mechanic, which I mostly enjoyed; near the very end of the game, it did briefly hit the point of requiring a somewhat quick response, but was still ultimately within the capacity of my abysmal reflexes. Nonetheless, it's not a zero-coordination-required game.

Today was my book club meeting online – we discussed the new Solnit book, then I suggested we choose something from the new Hugo nominees. After considering all the books, we ended up deciding to read last year’s winner (of which the sequel was nominated this year). I’ll be happy to read it again: The Tainted Cup, by Robert Jackson Bennett.

Beach Day

Oh it was so good, y'all.

I worried beforehand, as I always do. Weather dot Gov said it'd be smokey, and also a little chilly, and also that there were riptides the day before. The surf was supposed to be rough (but good for surfing). The water was cold. I was still so worn down on Tuesday. Was it really worth driving all that way?

But we did and yes, it was worth it. Reminder for next year's Kai: 71F water and 75F day is perfect. And while yes, we drove through a lot of smoke (Florida and the entire SE is currently on fire), and there was even smoke in the Publix parking lot just a stone's throw from the beach, the beach itself was fine. I was right that the constant breeze off the water would keep it clear.

It was a hazy day, though. Thin clouds so the sun was never in full force which, again, perfect. I don't particularly care for those scorching hot beach days, where the only respite is the water and your skin is cooked within minutes. We put on sunscreen just once and were there 3 hours; my face feels a little warm this morning, but no visible sun burns.

CG came with us; I offered her the choice Tuesday night and the girl had to actually think about it. Us was me and my MIL -- she leaves next week so I wanted to take the chance to go to the beach while she was still here.

CG and I attacked the waves. I was extra careful at first, what with the red flag warning and all the rip tide warnings, so we didn't go out further than she could stand. It was high tide, so that left us a lot of space to swim and play. She's gotten so good about going with the waves. She'd get hit and go under and then pop up a few seconds later laughing.

Unfortunately she lost her goggles toward the end. She was absolutely distraught. I tried to find them, but, well. She ended up calming down by drawing in the sand with MIL, which brought out the delightful proclamation: "playing in the sand is fun!"

I got a last swim by myself; swam hard out into the deeper parts then just let the waves crash over me. I could've stayed for another hour, but I'd promised CG ice cream on the way home and we had a 5yo to pick up.

i swear, the ocean healed me. I'd been so so tired that morning and still congested, but by the time we left I was... fine? I should've been exhausted because I'd been straight up swimming in chilly water for almost 3 hours, but no. The older I get, the more I've realized that I need to be in the water more: pools, lakes, rivers, oceans, whatever I can get. I'm glad CG is old enough to go with me; I'm hoping 5yo will at least learn to swim this summer (well, without floaties). Because I can't wait to take both of them.

So the boss lady never called my Dad last night.

I still have this rolling nagging anxiety pain in the pit of my stomach.

If she wasn't ready to pull the trigger then she just should have texted me that the new boss needed a letter for insurance purposes.

Narcissism

 I thought I'd research Narcissism- and suddenly Youtube was throwing all sorts of stuff at me. "How to spot a narcissist", "Things narcissists hate", "Narcissists want to kill you". Ooo er! Seems like narcissists are as common as daisies in an unmown lawn.

Only not as pretty.

I suppose I must have encountered the little buggers before now without realising it. Ailz says her mother was a narcissist. Yes, that fits. 

They want to absorb you like the Abzorbaloff played by Peter Kay in that episode of Dr Who everyone hates. The thing to do is to refuse engagement. Don't argue, don't apologise, don't give an inch. Hold fast to your own truth but don't bother to explain it because they won't be listening.

Basically they can all just fuck off.

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

The Great Oxidation Event Was Earth’s First Apocalypse

The Great Oxidation Event marks the point when oxygen first began to accumulate in Earth’s atmosphere and shallow oceans, permanently altering the course of life on our planet.


I was really pleased to find this description, since most sources ignore Earth's first mass extinction.

[personal profile] simplyn2deep posting in [community profile] comment_fic
Hello, everyone 👋 I’m [personal profile] simplyn2deep, and I’m back to host another week! 💫

Today’s theme is TV Show and Movie Quotes 📺🎥, and you can interpret it in any way that inspires you. Let a memorable line from a film or television series guide your storytelling—whether it’s a moment of tension 😬, humor 😂, love 💕, or revelation 💡. Use the quote as a starting point to build a scene 🎭, expand on a relationship 💞, or reimagine the context in your own way.

Just a few rules: 📌
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full name and fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet 📝.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing 🚫 or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers ⚠️, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling… 🚀

* Teen Wolf, Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale, “I’m not a hero. I’m a high-functioning sociopath.” — Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes 🕵️‍♂️
* Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, “You don’t turn your back on family, even when they do.” — Fast & Furious, Dominic Toretto 🚗💨
* any, any+any, “I can do this all day.” — Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rogers 🛡️

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts 📚✨. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? 🤔 You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members 💙; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like 🔖 might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule ⏰, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays 🌿, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays 📅. Saturdays are a Free for All day 🎉. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications! 👀

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word! 📣 [community profile] comment_fic

При нападі РФ на ЄС Польща має утримувати Сувальський коридор та стати опорою НАТО
Польща визначена ключовою опорою НАТО на східному фланзі у разі можливого нападу Росії. Варшава не лише стає стратегічним тилом для країн Балтії, а й уже розпочала розгортання військ із важкою технікою на території Латвії.
Про це розповів польський військовий аналітик Юліуш Сабак.

У разі російської агресії на балтійські країни Польща не лише надаватиме військову підтримку Литві, Латвії та Естонії, але й буде основним елементом системи НАТО, що забезпечує цю підтримку.
Головним завданням Польщі є утримання Сувальського коридору — 65-кілометрової ділянки, що з'єднує Балтію з рештою Альянсу. Її блокування Росією та Білоруссю означало б ізоляцію Литви, Латвії та Естонії.

Понад 300 польських військових уже перебувають у Латвії в межах місії НАТО eFP – разом з танками й важкою технікою
