vivien: Giles as dream play director from Restless (bug eyed surprise)
[personal profile] vivien
Mostly because I have been depressed, panicked, defiant, planning escape, ignoring the news, frozen in fear, crying, seizing joy, and so forth. I'm not getting into the current events because everything sucks. I'm trying to focus on right here, right now, and living without as much extra stress and fear as I can, but some days are harder than others.

But I've done things!
  • I earned my TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) certification.
  • With that coursework, I renewed my elementary teaching license, since it had lapsed in 2011.
  • I kept my job somehow (our federal contract was okay).
  • I researched so much about visas for anywhere. Albania! It was good enough for Tom Riddle, could it be good enough for me? There's a beach and cities, and Americans automatically get a one year tourist visa.
  • Went on a spiritual birding weekend (Zen and the Art of Birding) in a beautiful place.
  • Started doing some mixed media collage.
  • Read a whole lot of books.
  • Watched a whole lot of media.
  • Bought a whole lot of physical media to have all for myself no matter what happens to streaming services (or my ability to pay for them).
  • Healed from a stupid injury to both my wrists/tendons.
  • Started a new medical program for pelvic floor therapy that seems to be helpful already.
  • Become a lot more active at church (the Unitarian kind, not the Jesus kind) - I may be teaching Sunday school in the fall. I really like focusing on my community.
So really, a lot of really good things in the midst of horrible things. God damn, I wish things weren't so horrible.

Abstract Art on a Northern Lake

I’m staying near a northern Wisconsin lake at 45.658965, -89.497625, where I’ll be revelling in 15:45 hours of daylight on the summer solstice. The logged-over forest is mostly red pine, and wow they’re pollinating—creating very abstract art near the dock

Birdfeeding

[personal profile] ysabetwordsmith posting in [community profile] birdfeeding
Today is partly sunny, steamy, and hot.

I fed the birds.  Sparrows and house finches have been all over the feeders today.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 6/17/25 -- I checked the grass patch by the garden shed.  Something had eaten about half the seedling clover.  :/  So I sowed more Bee Lawn Mix, watered that, and watered the recently planted wild indigo.

EDIT 6/17/25 -- I took some pictures around the yard.

My wildflower garden is swarming with baby praying mantises, at least two hatches.  I've seen a tiny brown one and a slightly larger green one.  :D

I've seen a mourning dove in the forest garden.

EDIT 6/17/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 6/17/25 -- I picked a bag of mulberries along the street and in the savanna.  

Fireflies are coming out.

EDIT 6/17/25 -- I trimmed low-hanging branches in the house yard.

I hauled a large branch to the ritual meadow and broke it up for the firepit.

My partner Doug has mowed the ritual meadow.

As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: We all probably have multiple WiPs, but which of yours has been hanging around longest, waiting to be finished?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!



Game Check-in: HELIOS Rising Heroes

[personal profile] bluapapilio



Part 2 reread:

Oscar is extremely protective of Brad, he's probably his guarddog. Keith is a drunk? Faith is Brad's younger brother and a charlatan, Junior is the son of a famous hero and hates being called short. Billy is an informant.

Part 3:

1. Nova explains Substance, which landed on Earth 50 years ago and is what gives people superpowers which they use to collect remaining Substance around the world and help with disasters. Lily is an instructor and probably the most powerful superhero woman. She retired after getting married. Jay is a senior (senpai) hero who represents the mentors and Akira is his fanboy.

I was just wondering if there was going to be an outside conflict in this story: there's a terrorist group called Eclipse. I wonder if they have spies in the school. What is their end goal? To drive out all Substance? Are they the 'humanity deserves the disasters coming for them and should all die' type?

2. Oh no, Akira and Will got Brad and Oscar as their leads, it's so over for them;; Also I feel like there's no benefit to putting two childhood friends together, it's hard to get closer than that like Jay said. And they made Brad the leader of the whole 13th gen!

Gast and Ren got Victor and Marion as their leaders, Victor must be the one mentioned by Nova whom he's working with.

Hahah Faith and Leonard (Junior) got put in the same team with Keith. I wonder why no major hero got assigned to them?

Gray and Billy were assigned Jay and Asch.

Part 4:

Faith meets Gray, who's got social anxiety and is a bit older than the others. Oh noo Asch is one of his leaders and he's an asshole bully, poor Gray. 😭

I HATE ASCH SO MUCH WTF

Victor seems nice at least, he made Gray feel better. If he does anything to hurt him later...🗡🗡🗡

Part 5:

Marion is arrogant, Akira said he looked like a girl wtf he does not, Leonard took offense, he must be Marion's fanboy.

Akira had better have some character growth because aghhhh.

My current feelings on a few of the chars:

Like: Victor, Jay, Gray, Nova
Don't like: Akira, Asch, Marion

Basically hot-blooded and arrogant characters are not doing it for me lol

Laptop-TV combo with DVDs on top and smartphone on the desk



In the past, shows used to create “clip episodes” which were made up of segments of other episodes with a brief wraparound story. This was usually done to save money, extend writing time, or cover for the absence of a lead character.

Is this something you miss? Is there one you've particularly liked? Given currently shorter seasons, are these still being used in any shows you’ve seen?

Goddammit GMMTV! I really don’t have time to watch another new drama, and you have to go and bait me with this:



This is the thumbnail image of the last episode’s teaser for Off Jumpol’s currently airing drama Break Up Service. I actually watched the first three episodes of this drama. The first one out of general curiosity, the second because Force guest starred in it, and the third, because Drake guest starred in it as a secret lover of a closeted BL actor, and I was intrigued by the plot synopsis for that episode. I found the drama pretty meh in general, and I didn’t really care for the main het romance, so I never watched more. But now I think I’m going to watch the 11th episode and the finale the next week.

And I know it’s a bait, because it’s not a BL drama, and Off’s character has a female love interest, and because OffGun and TayNew are mega popular and sacred fixed ships. 😊 So I know they're not actually going to give us an OffTay kiss. And yet I can’t help but hope. Please, GMMTV, let guys in fixed ships kiss guys other than their ship partner from time to time. Pretty please...



I also forgot to mention in my previous posts that the wonderful person who made English subs for the 1st season of Tengu no Daidokoro, finally finished making subs for the 2nd season, too. Links for the new season are in this tumblr post. I only managed to watch the first three episodes for now, but everything I loved about the 1st season is still here. It’s lovely and cozy, and it makes my heart all warm. 😊

Honestly, people. How is this even A Thing?

NHS staff unsettled by patients filming care and posting videos on social media.

When partner first mentioned this to me I was 'Do they even let them into operating theatre and what about scrubbing up etc?', because I assumed it wasn't actually the patient doing this, and in fact reading further it does seem to be accompanying persons.

Radiographers, who take X-rays and scans, fear the trend could compromise the privacy of other patients being treated nearby and lead to staff having their work discussed online.
The Society of Radiographers (SoR) has gone public with its unease after a spate of incidents in which patients, or someone with them in the hospital, began filming their care.
On one occasion a radiology department assistant from the south coast was inserting a cannula into a patient who had cancer when their 19-year-old daughter began filming.
“She wanted to record the cannulation because she thought it would be entertaining on social media.* But she didn’t ask permission,” the staff member said.
“I spent the weekend afterwards worrying: did I do my job properly? I know I did, but no one’s perfect all the time and this was recorded. I don’t think I slept for the whole weekend.”
They were also concerned that a patient in the next bay was giving consent for a colonoscopy – an invasive diagnostic test – at the same time as the daughter was filming her mother close by. “That could all have been recorded on the film, including names and dates of birth,” they said.
Ashley d’Aquino, a therapeutic radiographer in London, said a colleague had agreed to take photographs for a patient, “but when the patient handed over her phone the member of staff saw that the patient had also been covertly recording her, to publish on her cancer blog.

*Emphasis mine.

First we go back to miasmatic theory, then we go back to operations as spectator sport?

How very different, I would argue, are Barbara Hepworth's 'Hospital Drawings':

Capener began purchasing some of Hepworth’s art, which in turn helped with the costs of her daughter’s surgery. He later asked the artist if she might be interested in observing some of the procedures taking place in the operating theatre. Hepworth, initially horrified by this thought, decided to go. The materials that she needed to make her sculptures were scarce during postwar Britain, meaning she also had more time on her hands to explore other projects.
Hepworth soon became fascinated with the surgical process. She was particularly moved by the methodical rhythm of the surgeon’s hands and the concentration in their eyes. The eyes and hands are rendered with a delicacy and softness, with attentively modulated grey-white tones. They emerge from the cruder, more abstract marks in blue, green and other similar hues. Her drawing techniques somehow brings the scene to life; the many flowing lines are suggestive of the creases forming in the doctors’ blue gowns, created by their constant movement around the horizontal, inert patient. After many visits, Hepworth had created a body of work which revealed her wonderful abilities as a draughtsperson, as well as a sculptor.

Dogwood Leaf Beetle

off-white beetle with dark markings resembling calligraphy

Getting into my car after a walk, I found this elegantly decorated beetle on my shirt. It has the very appropriate scientific name of Calligrapha philadelphica, also known as the Dogwood Leaf Beetle.

When it opened its wings to fly, I was surprised to see its inner wings were red. I guess that could be the wax seal on the parchment. :)
