whew, lotta things happened recently!

* FINISHED THE GUNTERCORRIN DOUJINSHI 8D (technically the official release date is tomorrow but I'm stealth-launching the page to catch any major bugs before the big announcement). i'm also hoping to do a proper post-mortem in a separate post but u can buy this grandpafucking shizz i been working on for the last year! probably the last true "big" fates creative project of mine; still love the characters so very dearly but not "i cannot stop thinking about them for three years straight" hyperfixation levels you know?

* i got laid up briefly this past week by a weird self inflicted case of inflammation when trying out new coffee that disagreed with me (lol). while resting my back, burned through the jakarta method (sobering nonfiction read how the CIA royally fucked up developing nations with a major case study on jakarta) which i had in paperback, as well as trying to finish pleasure activism (ehhh), and thought reform and the psychology of totalitarianism (also solid sobering if academic read on how mao-era interrogation/torture fucks up people, part of my larger "interrogation/censorship" study). DNF'd the diamond eye that a parent's friend gave me (apparently i cannot do "historical fiction" because it wigs me so much how authors insert thoughts into real people that they themselves probably didn't think because said thoughts feel a little uhhhh twitter flavored lol).

* slowly playing through warhammer rogue trader, loving it the more i stick with it ~ for some reason i'm posting more about it on my tumblr inspo sideblog; no essays yet.

* speaking of that, got a long as hell fire emblem tellius meta essay in the works on its symbology (comparing and contrasting branded/laguz/spirit charmer marks, religious marks, heron script.) started off as a fun evening lark and quickly grew into.... uhhh.... something much larger. :D (i had been interested in this topic for ages since i've headcanon'd my self insert as a spirit charmer possessed by a demon so there's a lot of 'how do i connect this with canon in a way that respects the canon' motivation here, as well as a gigantic fondness for the base lore just by itself.)

* there are three art side projects i am REALLY excited about that aren't technically under NDA but i want to wait about a month for when I've made a little more progress before starting to talk/post about here. all of them are collaborations with cool as hell peeps <3 it's the kind of very narrowly defined, very niche collaborations i find i actually like doing (versus a generic anthology SFW call where i'm like 'what's the point of this again' lol.)

one of the very few reoccurring nightmares i have is my poor baby linux computer getting infected with an old school virus that forces it to turn into a windows OS. dramatic changes to the user interface and all while i look on helplessly and try to shut the power off.

like it's not the 'oh shit somebody's controlling my computer' bit that gets me tweaked, like how you'd think.

it's the fuckin. forcewindow'ed??? into windows thing???

?????????????????

me @ my subconscious: jesus christ you are a nerd lol (also an amazing M$ hater)

[community profile] addme_fandom
Name: Zan
Age group: 40s but rapidly heading towards 50s
Country: UK
Subscription/Access Policy: Public, at time of writing

Fannish Interests: Right now I'm mainly into Djo, Stranger Things (as my icon suggests, I'm having somewhat of a Joe Keery year), The Terror, Severance, and my attention to the MCU has been revived somewhat by Agatha All Along, Thunderbolts and (hopefully!) Fantastic Four.

I enjoy reading golden age detective fiction, fantasy, romance and historical non-fiction. I've written a small number of fics but am trying to get out of a block and write some more.

I've been a long time but mostly lurky presence in fannish spaces since the early 2000s, and can also be found as zan77 on tumblr


I like to post about: Not many posts on my dreamwidth yet but I'm hoping to use it to get back into the habit of longer posting.


About Me/Other Info: Outside of fandom I'm also an amateaur bellydancer and enjoy crochet. As I officially enter Fandom Old territory I've started to yearn for the old Livejournal style interactions of my youth! Hoping to find some like-minded souls to talk to.

more science more love

Last migration season, I subscribed to this nifty newsletter by a PhD student at UCLA—an "Early Bird Arrival Forecast" that sends personalized emails based on your location, and tells you which birds are early/peaking/late migrants in your area. It's data that I probably could figure out via other sources, but I suspect the data backing his emails is superior, and his simple summary & targeted recommendations were very handy for me to get a sense of what I might see in the field—"ooh, warbling vireos are peaking this week; let's go find one!"

Anyway. I enjoyed his recommendations again this migration season, and also, ngl his final email of the season this year weirdly made me tear up a bit:
There are no birds forecast for this week or last week, so it's time to close down the Early Bird Forecast for your region. Very sad :(

Thank you so much for participating in the second season of the Early Bird Forecast! A few asks from me before you go:

[. . .]

2. Last year, I provided a link for people to donate to me personally (AKA to "buy me a coffee"). In light of recent realized and proposed cuts to government-funded science programs, this year I would like to steer people towards donating to nonprofits that do efficient and important conservation work at home and abroad. A few good charities in this mold are Birdlife International, The American Bird Conservancy, and The Nature Conservancy. If you would like to look for something more local, check out your city or region's Audubon chapter.

3. If donating is out of the question for you, consider contacting your representatives and let them know that you believe federally-funded science is worth supporting. The Early Bird Forecast is actually a by-product of a NASA-funded research fellowship I received in graduate school. If the current administration's proposed budget becomes law, funding for NASA-funded research like mine will decrease by over 50%. This science funding is cheap in the grand scheme of things – If you are the average taxpayer, you paid $0.0006 for my research (thank you!). Plus you get Early Bird Forecast for free, what a steal!

Happy Summer!
god knows a phd student could always use some spare change; incredibly classy of him to point towards Science As A Whole rn instead.

rionaleonhart: kingdom hearts: riku, blindfolded and smiling slightly. (we&#39;ll be the darkness)
Here's a short Hundred Line fic in which Takumi asks Yugamu to stab him with the Infuser, because I feel Yugamu should be allowed to stab everyone with their Infusers when it's time to fight. I think he'd have a great time.


Title: Piercing the Heart

Summary: Yugamu’s face cracks open in a slow, unsettling smile. Takumi already regrets this.

What? You mean that cookie dough from over a year ago can go bad? Even if it's frozen?


... The freezer now has a lot less cookie dough in it. RIP last spring's cookies. The aroma of freezer burn invaded my kitchen when I baked you. It was not meant to be.
