Digital painting of a sunset sky: it is bright orange, slightly hazy, with soft grey clouds traversing the frame. The light is more on the yellow side in the top half.

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.

I am INTO that hot air balloon blanket

Thank you friend! Fingers crossed she's a good one.

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

Adorbs!

Digital painting of a night scene: a dark blue sky, with dark trees in the background, and white birch trees lit by headlights in the foreground. There are a few stars in the sky.

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.

And canon that needs improving :D

Digital painting of a sunset sky: it is a pastel orange hue, half-covered in pink and purple, soft, fuzzy, wispy clouds. They get darker, more gauzy over the horizon. There are a few trees scattered there in the distance.

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.

It IS 💜💜💜

Thank you! I used to try and post a fic on this date every year, back in TXF days, so the date stuck in my head.

Right??????????

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

I don't have a screenreader and haven't found a good site that duplicates the results for testing. But as long as the HTML is good, it should work.

You're right! I remember reading that now. Sorry. That should cover allll your bases.

Your solution was elegant and didn't disrupt the piece, but unless you indicated in the alt-text that the descriptive text was below the comic, people using screenreaders might have given up thinking it was undescribed.

I add it to the HTML coding so it's not visible but still accessible to people using screenreaders.

Digital painting of a rainy scene: the sky is grey, and even where it is blue, in a gap between clouds, it looks washed out. There is a low yellow sun appearing through the clouds and the rain. The landscape is dark against the light, bare trees, houses and phone lines running across the frame.

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.

I'm so sorry. 💜💜💜

What Mira Nair Taught Zohran Mamdani The mayor’s famous filmmaker mother reveals the origins of his ferocious ambition.

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:

Thank you! It's been a while for me, too, so I am happily just making shit up. Canon? What canon?

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

I really do, and I'm glad my brain has allowed me one. I hope your meetings go well and you can return to your fanfics as quickly as possible. <3

I only (lol) have Elder Care and Household Tasks so it's really nice to have a guaranteed reward waiting for me when I have a free moment (or....make one).

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.
