brightknightieI almost never post about non-fannish things here. I'm making a rare exception for this one. ♥
The third "No Kings" event is tomorrow, Saturday, March 28, everywhere. Go to https://www.nokings.org/, scroll down to "Find an event near you," and enter your zip code or address. You can sign up or just show up. Be peaceful, be joyful, show each other we're not alone.
After, find the next thing you can do, perhaps at https://indivisible.org/get-involved/find-a-group/. Stuffing envelopes, writing letters, making calls, giving rides ... there's something that suits you that will help.
(Thank for your indulgence of this non-fannish post. Back to all fannish here now!)

Which is why I haven't been around much this week! I'm having a fantastic time, and I've also been staying up way too late and generally forgetting to do things because I think I have time for just one more run. Greek mythology was arguably my first fandom as a kid - alongside Narnia and The Hobbit - so the whole thing is extremely up my alley, and it's a really, really pretty game.
(All these years later, I'm amused that my otherwise restriction-happy parents handed me unabridged translations of The Odyssey and The Iliad when I was eight and ten, respectively. Return of the Jedi was off-limits because Princess Leia wore a bikini, but The Iliad is probably totally fine!)

#bookbinding
Also almost finished Mum's Easter presssie. 
Madame Chop Chop has arrived
#bookbinding #guillotine #travelersNotebook Here she is, ready to get up to the attic. Only about 18kg something, according to the postman. I splurged and also got a new ruler. 30cm are a bit too short sometimes, 50 should be a good length.hub.hubzilla.de

Mar. 25th, 2026 06:27 pmisisWhat I've recently finished reading:
Cinder House by Freya Marske, which is a gothicy Cinderella retelling except that Cinderella is a ghost. For some reason I had osmosed it was f/f, which it is not, though it's not strictly het. The various analogs to the fairy tale were mostly quite charming, and the various rules of ghostness and magic as well - I enjoyed it a great deal. More of a novella than a novel.
What I've recently finished watching:
It looks like I didn't say anything after I finished Pluribus; it was...okay, interesting, some weird plot-gaps (not exactly holes, but) that had me thinking, "yes, but..." a lot.
We watched A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms which was enjoyable enough, though I could have done without certain graphic disgustingness.
Bridgerton S4 was fun as usual. Sophie was delightful (another Cinderella story, hee, complete with evil stepmama!) and the resolution there surprised me a little but I liked it. I was expecting a different outcome of Francesca's story due to osmosis about the books, but I guess that will happen next season. I was completely gobsmacked to see Cressida again but as usual her terrible sartorial choices made for excellent comic relief.
Okay, this was definitely a shorter media review than usual, but I need to finish packing - we're heading out on a camper van roadtrip vacation tomorrow morning. See you all sometime in April!

Mar. 25th, 2026 06:50 pmstefanyeahI can post to DW from here? Testing testing
It works! Much wow!
[br]
Even with Friendica and Hubzilla having a few hiccups connecting to each other, Friendica is winning me over. Hubzilla is my new Social Media bestie, though. So many possibilities, even if it's really clunky to get used to. At some point, I really want a self-hosted Hubzilla hub to do my own things there.
The other fediverse programs (Are they called programs?) might tempt me a little, but not beyond trying to poke at things. Hubzilla on the other hand, might be so useful. Social media feeds, websites, wikis, articles and one can have different channels for each.
I just need to also read up on Raspberry Pis…

Mar. 24th, 2026 02:18 pmsouthernmedicineI have such immense sympathy for characters who die in horror movies when they didn't even want to be there in the first place. Partners who got dragged along on a trip, or friends who were talked into doing something they didn't want to.
That said, I also feel that horror movies would be more compelling if the Big Bad were up against smart victims a little more often.
