The ProPublica union has voted to authorize a strike. Around 150 journalists, videographers, copy editors and more voted to authorize, with 92% of the union voting yes. ProPublica allegedly rejected restrictions on replacing jobs with AI, and hasn't met other union concerns.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

We report: new moon on a clear night. Since the last time we saw the stars like this, a lot has changed. Some of them are gone, new ones have appeared. We ought to remember what spring constellations look like, but we barely do. It is too cold to try and jog our memory tonight.

We report: every year, we look at March closely with the hope of understanding what it is. It never makes sense the way we want it to; it is never another month of winter, nor is it ever really the first month of spring. We have to be here each day, and try to make it ours.

We report this morning: our expert was up early looking at mysterious graphs and maps that we could not figure out. They tell us that they are tracking space weather. We watch the sun rise, struggling to walk straight in the wind, and we think we have enough weather down here.

San Francisco Public Library offers a library card featuring the USS Athena over the Golden Gate Bridge. It celebrates Star Trek's 60th anniversary and San Francisco's role as Starfleet headquarters … and the location of Starfleet Academy! www.pcworld.com/article/3074...

Me: This story is done, let me just smooth out the prose. Also Me: And add an additional 300 words. Me again: And then remove 50 of them. Me: So, like I said, it's done. Let me just smooth out the prose.

I used to think it was silly that people on Star Trek would walk across the ship to deliver a padd to someone when it's clear they have the capability to just transfer the data to another workstation. but then I realized. ah. the Federation simply outlawed email. we have so far to go to reach utopia

My next #fandomtrumpshate item is by me: a long, narrow blanket/wall hanging. If the bidder wants I can customize it, take out some rows to make it shorter. It's meant to look like a hot air balloon. (If you know HYYH, that balloon was the inspiration.) celli.dreamwidth.org/1616417.html

My #rec! A sweet Stranger Things fic about Steve & Dustin's brothership.

Reading an article in the newspaper that might as well have the headline "New data suggest lower-income Americans have less money than higher-income Americans" like no shit

You know what's awesome? Vids. Which is why I had the best time watching almost all of the 128 Festivids from this year. While I was watching I made a quick doc of my favorites, which I've now posted as 35 vid recs on Dreamwidth. If you also like vids you'll love these. So many fandoms! Such skills!

Last night I dreamt I'd bought new underwear, so this morning I dug down past all the basic britches and pulled out a nice pair, as a treat.

We report: there is some kind of symphony composing itself in the sky this morning. We can almost hear how it goes just by looking at it, abstract sheet music changing from second to second. It is a little colder than the past few days, and the wind feels bracing.

One grandfather worked in the steel mill and the other, when he got back from WWII, was a salesman.

We report on one of the first few days of meteorological spring: we are slowly getting reacquainted with the intermittent presence of the sun. It is so far quite content to remain at a distance. We look for rays to walk into wherever we can, and they are rare and thin.

If you need something to read while AO3 continues its investigation into why we can't have the AO3, all my fic is up on my website: punk.esteefee.com

Our #rec theme for March is Siblings—assigned and chosen! #fandom fancake.dreamwidth.org/2445469.html

"A floodplain (or floodplain)" Why is National Geographic gaslighting me? That is the same word twice! I'm nearly certain of it! education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/flo...

I made so many good edits to my fic today even though I was SUPPOSED to be doing something else, or, perhaps, because.

We report as we close our eyes: on nights when we have trouble falling asleep, we send our mind to wander amongst the stars. In this state of half-wakefulness, the darkness is more comforting than it is cold, and we find paths to galaxies in places no one will ever reach.

First fandom I read fic for: The X-Files, on a fan site in 1995 or 6. First fanwork I shared: An XF fanfic posted to alt.tv.x-files.creative in 1997.

@aliascelli.bsky.social Breaking #GlutenFree #Food News: Erin has supposedly improved our chocolate cake?? Same basic recipe, only she says it's "much, much easier to handle" now: fooddoodles.com/dark-cocoa-c...

incredible, I need it immediately www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

We report on a sunny morning: it is almost like the past weeks of continuous rain never even happened. It is surprisingly easy to forget, for a moment, that we have seen all these streets turn into rivers, and all these drains overflow. The sun is still a little low in the sky.

I finished another #embroidery based on a sketch by this wonderful unknown artist! This time I went all out with a silver thread outline and various types of filling stitches. I am so delighted by the whole concept of "fish in a tree" someone probably drew for a laugh ~200 years ago.

We report: we have been walking up the hill, and every time we think the sun has finally set, the steps we take towards the top reveal a little bit more light. We have to imagine that at some point, however, whether we get there or not, the sun will fully disappear.

Today I learned about the Integrated Collections Database of the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, Japan, (ColBase) where you can find treasures like THIS!! colbase.nich.go.jp/collection_i...

My #rec for @fancake.bsky.social's Inept in Love theme! A sweet Mike/Will fake dating romance with just the right amount of agonizing feelings.

🍎 SGA fic finished and in edits! 🎲 Still reading Stranger Things fic like it will fix me! 🎂 Working on the banner for Fancake's next theme! 🚿 Doing laundry!

We report at the end of a day spent formulating thoughts, and organising them, and losing the train of them: we are now appreciating the luxury of letting them all go. The sunset, at the moment, requires no additional thinking from us. Our mind gets filled with orange light.

Was very brave and made an appointment to see my new primary care physician.

We report: by the road, in the headlights, the birch trees stretch up into the sky like frozen lightning bolts. Not much wind tonight, but it is enough to tear some whines and groans from those skinny branches. We think we see a straggler from the Alpha Centaurid meteor shower.

We report in the dusty, dusty evening. The way this day is waning is through a succession of layers of night. All of them are thin enough that there never is an exact moment when we can declare the conclusion of the day. Once we make it back home, the dust finally settles.

I posted my first fanfic* TWENTY NINE YEARS AGO TODAY. My most recent fanfic† was posted less than a month ago. And today I am finishing up a fanfic‡ I started in 2011. * The X-Files † Star Trek ‡ Stargate Atlantis

We report upon finding the sun in the rain: it makes no rainbow behind our back, but we forgive it easily for that. Later, when it is gone, we miss it, and even later, when it comes back, we are grateful. All throughout, it keeps on raining all the kinds of rain we know.

Cannot believe that I got to profile an extraordinary filmmaker, who happens to be the mother of NYC’s new mayor, and think about intersections of art and politics, and how familial love might produce a buffer against the corrosive politics and cynicism of our time. My story about Mira Nair:

Sabrina Imbler ALWAYS brings the goods. this is hilarious and wonderful defector.com/high-level-a...

I thought I was almost done with this SGA fic, but Team Sheppard aren't done talking to each other, which is adorable, so, I guess we'll see what happens next.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

All my brain wants to do is read Stranger Things fanfic, but--and I can say this with authority--that's better than it not wanting to do anything.

One of our local animal rescues suffered a devastating fire this afternoon. A few dozen of us were in a flurry of activity coordinating efforts to get nearly 40 dogs to safety and into vet care or foster. Work is still ongoing. Temporary needs are great. Please help gofund.me/b7a92f0b4

We report: mid-afternoon, we are now allowed to witness some of the goings-on of the higher parts of the sky. The cirrus are practicing the slowest of dances, unlike the greyer, wetter, faster clouds that we know intimately these days. The sunshine is a little dizzying.

The SGA wip I'm working on now is John Sheppard POV but there isn't a single thought in his pretty little head, he's just vibing with his team and I see absolutely nothing out of character with that; carry on, John
