Just got a call from Ethan from "insert company name here" to let me know that rates have dropped. That is literally what he said. Ethan doesn't give a fuck.

Ha ha, finished my Star Trek fic, but I think I have to wait to post until AO3's upcoming *checks watch* 15 hours of downtime is over. I don't want people to miss my MASTERPIECE where Kirk barges in on Spock in the bathroom. Everything's cool, Spock's just putting on his EYE SHADOW.

We report: we chance a last look at the sky before going to sleep, out of habit. We think we know it will be too cloudy to see anything, but we can never go to bed without a last look. We remember why that it is upon seeing the stars. A bit of fog moves between constellations.

[update] Scheduled: #AO3 will be down for about 15 hours starting at 08:00 UTC on January 21 while we make some improvements to searching bookmarks and series.

A Peter Lindbergh photograph from 2008 of Lucy Liu throwing a javelin. Just seeing this nearly killed me.

The cat can find functions on my laptop that i have never seen before just by walking across the keyboard

Today I cleaned the entire bathroom and removed three punctuation marks from the story I'm writing. These things are unrelated.

An important way to help people under attack in Minneapolis!

@usefulnoise.bsky.social requested we write about life in Minnesota right now and @dbrauer.net's post moved me, so here's mine: awningfawning.xyz/in-minneapol...

We report on the road, after our expert filled the petrol tank. Our fingers jump across clouds behind the window, the way we used to do it as a child; it is still covered in droplets of past heavy rain, weeping sideways from the speed. The wet road looks like it is on fire.

Pretty frost on the shed windows! #NayePhoto

The cat was leaping at my legs and I accidentally shouted, "No murders in the building!"

We report: the gorse shrubs are flowering under the cold sun in fat yellow blooms. The wind carries a smell of honey when we walk by too close, and the thorns catch in our hair and clothes. The blue sky falls in deep puddles in the middle of our path. We have to step around it.

We report: in the very long night before nights start getting shorter, there are more stars than we have seen in some time. In the sharp chill of after midnight, we watch a stray child from the Geminids dash in between Castor and Pollux, and then it is gone for good.

Me, just now, in the kitchen, to myself: That's not the best way to do it, but it is...a way.

For the pet owners in my life: holiday plants to be aware of!

It's 20 December and here in London we have 17 hours of darkness. so, as I do, I commend to you Sing For The Coming of the Longest Night, co-written by me & my bff @krfabian.bsky.social: a solstice poly romance, complete with jolly vicars, haunted theremins, & deep, sweet, weird-ancient magic. ❄️🎄🏳️‍🌈

My rec! A Mike/Will 80s teen sex comedy romp!

Look at what my brain just (mis)read for me: But that was about as effective as an elephant trying not to think of an elephant.

We report late afternoon: we come out at sunset to look at distant squiggles caught in light. It is cold, and the sun goes quickly, so we are back inside within minutes. It is really good; our cheeks burn, our nose runs, and we are still smiling when we meet eyes in the mirror.

Only WIPs this year! Two of them. One I finished and posted, and the other is finished and in post(-production).

We report: the wind is forming white horses on the open sea. Our expert thinks this is a 4 or a 5 on the Beaufort scale. We like it when our expert brings up scales and numbers, and when they are not quite descriptive enough. The sun skims the sea foam with low, timorous rays.

Fancake's Themes in 2025: fancake.dreamwidth.org/2425387.html

We report after sunset, looking out towards the east. The weak glow on the clouds is like someone has turned off the light, but left the door ajar as they went. The nightlight flickers; we get to see the last cloud melt into the night before it starts raining.

Our #rec theme for November is Mystery & Suspense! #fandom fancake.dreamwidth.org/2422507.html

Uhhhh, I just learned Kathryn Bigelow directed Point Break (1991).

Discovered a terrible loophole. My to do list says wash sheets, but there's nothing about putting them back on the bed. Future me is in trouble.

I really enjoyed this piece on Japan and the various ways its minimalism has been interpreted by the west while its maximalism goes largely ignored. The joy of clutter, by Matt Alt: aeon.co/essays/the-l...

If you need some good news, Judy Blume is still alive, aged 87.
