    With most manga ebook volumes costing around $7 USD (sometimes fifty cents less, sometimes a few dollars more), you only need to be interested in three of the volumes available in the complete bundle to justify the cost—and the total bundle has 61 volumes!

    1. The smitten kitchen pesto chickpea thing remains excellent. As does the ridiculous strata.
    2. On my way back from the gym today I did An Explore of a Different Route and along an excellent winding little path I found A Walnut Tree!
    3. I remembered to put the bat detector out at dusk; we detected bats!
    4. I did actually feel deadlifts down the back of my legs today! -- I don't think I was doing anything different, I think it was just that they were slightly sore when I started today which made it easier to focus on them.
    5. I have spent a lot of time today that I was not Moving My Body mostly horizontal and managing to actually read some fiction. It has been lovely.

    Okay, not just the miners; the trade unions as a whole showed the fuck up (and have already been showing up for trans rights in the UK in a big way). But it was, also, very much the miners:

    The Guardian: ‘Bigger and better than ever’: how Durham Pride beat Reform’s funding axe with help from the miners

    [The LGBTQ+] community “showed their heroism” during the miners’ strikes, he said. “They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

    He added: “That relationship’s prevailed ever since, [and so] the Durham Miners’ Association have decided to make this a priority in County Durham.”

    Made 92 mini cheesecakes, 90 of which are now resting in the fridge before the trip out to the island tomorrow (I accidentally smushed 2 with the oven mitt when taking them out of the oven, so I ate them), along with the girls' birthday presents (cute socks!) and Baby Miss L's various books.

    I had a bunch of orange cupcake papers, and just a small handful of blue ones, so I did kind of go for a Knicks theme. We'll see if anyone notices.

    Rain brings out the ants. Ugh. Lids of sweet things need to be screwed on tightly - or else.

    Also, it's actually quite difficult to deal with the rain after so long of hot and dry sun.

    That said, it's not going to last. Super El Nino, as most of us have heard. Which around here means more hot-and-dry-and-bushfiery. Eep. Yes, it's raining now, but that rain will produce a lot of tender green sprouting, which will dry off as the months go on and when spring-summer hits with its heatwaves and high temps...

    Oof.

    and nowhere shines but desolate

    [personal profile] musesfool
    So here is a thing that happened this week: I have a monthly set of subscription deliveries from Amazon - stuff like dish soap, razor cartridges, paper towels, etc. - and it usually gets delivered the last Tuesday of the month, which was this week. I also had another book I ordered for Baby Miss L since the party got postponed to this weekend. Over the weekend, I get an email that my stuff has shipped. And then on Tuesday, instead of my stuff arriving, I get several emails saying everything in the package was undeliverable and is being refunded. So I check and my credit card has indeed been refunded. Most of it wasn't super necessary, so it was annoying but fine, but I did want the book (How to Catch a Star, recommended by [profile] justwontbreak), so I reordered it. I got an email this morning that it had been delivered, and when I went down to the package room, there it was...along with another box from Amazon, containing all the items from my order which had been "undeliverable" and refunded. It wasn't banged up or in bad shape at all, so I don't even know what happened, but I got my stuff, and now I have 2 copies of the book for Baby Miss L (one can stay with the grandparents or be given away, I don't even care). *hands*

    1. On my way home from errands this afternoon, I spent a bit of time meandering around some back streets I have not otherwise been terribly well acquainted with. The temperature had dropped enough to be actually fairly pleasant, and also everything smelled of the roses to an extent I am not sure I have ever previously experienced outside of a dedicated rose garden in season.

    2. The ridiculous protein powder (I knoooooooooooow I am being SUCH a stereotype) I ordered has arrived; read more... )

    3. Despite sleeping terribly for reasons, I picked things up and put them down again! and some of them were heavier than any things I have ever previously picked up or put down in that fashion! and I failed out of a squat set in the "bailed onto the safeties" sense, and I am feeling pretty good about having thereby unlocked Another Achievement. (Tuesday's Achievement Unlocked was getting diffidently asked by someone if I knew how to adjust a particular piece of equipment, on the basis that I clearly did because I just HAD but she'd not managed to catch the how. This was particularly delightful because the specific thing is the one I fled from in terror when invited to use it in my first gym trip a whole five and a half weeks ago.)

    4. The Child is delightfully excited about getting to see me TWICE next week, both on a day when I am Doing A Babysit and on our normal visit day. ♥

    5. Therapist induced me to identify some potential next steps for handling a Minor Situation that feel actually possible and maybe even constructive.

    schneefink: Teyla and Sora with drinks, laughing (SGA Teyla and Sora cheerful)
    [personal profile] schneefink
    After I was recently reminded of the vast treasure trove of SGA fic, I spent some time updating my bookmarks with working links where possible, and that of course led to me rereading many fics, and suddenly the month is almost over before I could get a proper list together, so just have some of my favorites. Still themed though because I'm not in the mood for the effort it would take to shut up the little voice in my head saying that's required for a proper rec list: Stargate 'verse crossovers with significant pre-canon canon divergences. These also happen to be some of my favorite SGA fics.

    Retrograde series by [archiveofourown.org profile] LtLJ
    107k (main series) + 22k of extras, mostly gen, SGA/SG-1 crossover, canon divergence AU
    Summary: The Atlantis expedition has been lost for three years. SG-1 goes to find them, and arrives just a little too late.
    Why I love it: I love (real and perceived) betrayal stories so this was already catnip to me - something which applies to all of these, come to think of it. Also some good old-fashioned whump, action, rescues, bonding, plot, comfort... So, so good. Very high up on my list of favorite fics I've read.

    Gypsies, Pirates, and Thieves by [archiveofourown.org profile] auburn
    372.2k, John/Rodney/Vala, SGA/SG-1 crossover, canon divergence AU
    Summary: Vala Mal Doran and her partners, renegades Jehan abd-Ba'al and Meredith McKay, hijack the Tau'ri ship Prometheus and leave the Milky Way behind in search of the Lost City of the Ancients, Atlantis.
    Why I love it: Action, rescues, bonding, plot, this time with a touch more past trauma and codependency and a larger cast. The second part in the series is my favorite (and the one I've reread most often, though that's also because it's significantly shorter then the others.)

    Raiders of the Seven Systems by [archiveofourown.org profile] LtLJ
    32.2k, gen, SGA/SG-1/Firefly crossover, canon divergence AU
    Summary: John Sheppard leads a crew of Athosian space pirates in the Pegasus Galaxy. They rescue Earth refugees Rodney McKay and Sam Carter, but then things get complicated.
    Why I like it: Space pirates! Also Zoe Washburn is there. This is kind of the space pirate!John version of Retrograde, at least vibes-wise, and I am here for it.

    Unnatural Selection by [archiveofourown.org profile] auburn
    164.4k, John/Todd & John/Rodney, SGA/SG-1/SGU crossover, canon divergence AU
    Summary:Human error, operant conditioning, survival instinct and evolution as horror. An examination of the SGC's failure to anticipate and prevent the losses of Atlantis and the Alterran survey ship Destiny. One year after the first, the second Earth Expedition to Wraith-occupied Atlantis is diverted to an Ancient ship and struggles to survive with no way home and enemies within, while John Sheppard, considered a traitor by everyone who once knew him, tries to hold onto what humanity he has left and save them all.
    Why I like it: Featuring the horrors of being marooned on a space ship that's falling apart with people you can't trust and struggling to survive, Wraith xenobiology and worldbuilding, transformation/body horror, and much more in a delicious mix.

    It's been a while since we've done a full code push rather than just hotfixes for bugs, so we are well overdue! Depending on availability, we're aiming to do one sometime soon; we'll let you know specifics once we've worked out good timing for everyone who needs to be available.

    However! The reason it's been so long is we kept trying to get some of the stuff that's pending to "really finished" instead of just "mostly finished", and then we once again looked around and went "oh no, this is a really big code push with a lot of changes". Those make us nervous, because while we do a lot of testing ourselves, y'all are really creative in how you use the site and we inevitably find a bunch of edge cases when we let you loose on new code with your real-world data!

    So, if folks have some spare time in the next few days, it would be a huge help if you could spend half an hour or so using the site the same way you normally do but with the "Site-Wide Canary" beta features flag turned on. Canary mode is a sort of "live testing" mode: it's your real data, but running the most up-to-date code.

    Canary mode always does have a few glitches -- there may be missing text strings or errors about missing database properties, which is a limitation of how we run it. We don't need to know about those, but anything else weird that you run into, leave a comment with what you were trying to do and the error message you got.

    I'll repeat that the "here be dragons" caution that's on the beta features page: some things may be broken, so don't use it for when you're doing something important. But a few more eyeballs on it before the push will help the push go more smoothly for everyone.

    For folks who want to concentrate on what's changing, we haven't finished the second code tour of what's going to be in this push, but the ffirst one has a good chunk of what's going to be going live. (We'll get the second half done ASAP!)

    ICE agents pepper-spray protesters, N.J. senator in clash outside Delaney Hall in Newark

    U.S. Senator Andy Kim was pepper sprayed by ICE agents during a protest outside the Delaney Hall immigrant detention facility in New Jersey. He was part of crowd of demonstrators responding to a hunger strike inside the Newark facility, organized by inmates in an effort to stop inhumane conditions, including poor-quality food and subpar medical care. Kim said he had trouble breathing after being caught in the cloud of pepper spray deployed by federal agents. "What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country," the senator said. "It's a sad day."

Season two continues Avatar Aang's quest to master the four elements to restore balance to a world threatened by the terrifying Fire Nation. The highlight for me? Live action Joo Dee, assuring us that "there is no war in Ba Sing Se." (If you know, you know.)




    Feds say Colombian crew targeted Asian Americans in series of Oregon, Washington burglaries

    Last week in Oregon, two men pleaded guilty in federal court for their roles in a sophisticated burglary ring which targeted the homes of Asian American business owners in the Northwest. 34-year-old Derinson Martinez-Grandas and 27-year-old Steven Alexander Quiroga-Solano each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen goods. They were part of a group of at least suspects who burglarized four homes in early October 2025, staying in short-term rentals as they moved between cities and looked for potential victims, all of them Asian American small business owners in Oregon and Washington.

    Now you know I'm not a big basketball fan but with the Knicks in the finals I will probably be talking about it some, especially since the Mets are so terrible and it looks like the Habs might not be moving on. I don't wanna root for the Canes. I do not like them! But I cannot root for VGK, so it is what it is.

    Anyway, this was a fun article about Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs center, and the "Read like Wemby" campaign a library in San Antonio started. (Ignore the snobs in the comments talking about how he should read "real" literature instead of SFF - they are not serious people.) I love when libraries do stuff like this and they are always doing cool stuff like this.

    Black Jewels A:tlA fic.

    Additionally: wondering how it is that there are 80,000 fics for this fandom and only two sedoretu fics. This canon is MADE for it. The damn situation is practically PAVED with bricks (fics?) of gold. HOW.

    And the two fics are, of course, not Zutara fics, which is my pairing pref. I'd go Katara/Zuko/Sokka/Suki tbh rather than the four benders, because one of the ways LeGuin set up sedoretu relationships was for inheritance lines - a brother and a sister marry and share their partners.

    EXHIBIT A: Southern Water Tribe sibs.

    Especially when a lot of the fanon I like around the SWT involves a less restrictive sexuality before marriage (but fidelity after).

    ...see? Like I said: plotting.

    Third Act - Independent Lens

    Generations call Robert A. Nakamura the godfather of Asian American film. Tadashi Nakamura calls him Dad. In his documentary Third Act, Tad turns the camera on his father as they confront art, activism, and aging. From World War II incarceration to cultural awakening and a Parkinson's diagnosis, the film is a tender portrait of legacy, inherited trauma, and the final chapter of a shared creative life. Third Act premieres May 25 on PBS' Independent Lens (check local listings) and will be available to stream on pbs.org.

    US university's commencement speaker reveals he will pay off students' final-year loans

    Anil Kochhar, a North Carolina State University donor, gave graduates of the school's Wilson College of Textiles a lot more than just words of wisdom when he delivered their keynote commencement address earlier this month. The entrepreneur also announced that he would pay off any student loans taken out by the college's graduates during their senior year. "I hope that all of you leave... today not only with a degree but with greater freedom to pursue your goals, take risks and build the lives that you've worked so hard to achieve," Kochhar said, prompting loud cheers, applause and a standing ovation from the class of 2026.




    How 'A Grain of Sand' amplified Asian American identity

    A Grain of Sand: Music for the Struggle of Asians in America was one of the first recognized musical albums expressing Asian American identity. The 1973 work -- preserved at the Smithsonian Institution -- combines elements of folk, jazz and blues. It's often considered a blend of political statements within a collective art project. Sojin Kim, curator of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, details the album's legacy and place in American history for WBUR.
