a random weather poll

Not As Expected

Stormaggedon was less than the snow that canceled class last week and no one made a stink about that one. I'm not complaining mind you. I have enough snow to look pretty without being obnoxious. No power loss and no one is complaining about that.

I finished the last of the grading and the gradebook is done. Me being questioned by the students is not. eye roll.

Most of the day was spent editing

fandomtrees which took longer than it should have but two of the stories are posted. I have more editing to do and then back to writing more.

I started wrapping gifts. Didn't get far. I am...not too happy with myself. I need in all seriousness to make that file I was talking about. On the other hand 2 people I have enough for their birthdays next year too. Now I have to decide how to distribute things.

Tomorrow is supposed to be brutally cold here. So far Rocket seems content to be inside.

Let's have a nice big science saturday

sign-ups

Sign-Ups are Open!

Sign-Ups are now open! They will remain open until December 27th, 10PM PST. [Countdown to sign-ups closing] [In Your Timezone]

The rules are here, which will have additional information about the exchange and its requirements.

You must be 18+ to participate in this exchange. Only one sign-up per person.

An AO3 account is required to participate. If you need an AO3 invite, please reach out via email.

Requests:

You can request a minimum of 3 unique fandoms with a maximum of 10 fandoms, with 1-10 ships and a choice of fiction, art, or both.

After you have three unique fandoms, you are allowed/welcome to repeat fandoms in both your offers and your requests.

There is a known bug with AO3 where the ship may be in the tagset but might not appear in the drop-down option. If that is the case, copy the ship from the tagset, paste it into the box (press enter afterwards), and AO3 should accept it.

You can edit/delete your sign-ups until sign-ups close.

If a sign-up does not include the required number of fandoms, it will be deleted when sign-ups close.

Optional details can be added in the box provided- you can list your likes/do not wants and put prompts for your creators. This will give your creator a better picture of what you would/wouldn't enjoy but they are optional.

Please note that you cannot use the likes/dnws to box your creator into making one certain type of work.

Please make sure you list your do not wants clearly within the 'optional details section'. If the do not wants are not clearly stated and/or are unreasonable, they will not be upheld. Do not wants in letters will not be upheld if there is a violation in the fanwork you receive either so please make sure to cross check what it is in your sign-up vs your letter.

If you're requesting more than one ship, please do not express preferences for one fandom/ship over the rest in your optional details and/or letter. Your creator will be matching to any of the fandoms you select, so please make sure you request fandoms and ships you'd be happy to receive a fanwork for!

If you're open to treats, please make a mention of this in the optional details of your sign-up. You're welcome to request only art and opt into fic treats and visa versa (as well as opt into both). You are also welcome to opt out of treats. Please remember stating you're open to treats does not guarantee you a treat.

There is a space to leave a link to your letter as well. Letters are optional, but should you link to a letter, please complete it as soon as you can to give your creator the maximum amount of time to work on your gift.

All fandoms and ships requested and offered in this exchange must be chosen from those nominated into the tagset.

You will match based on one fandom, ship, and medium.

If there aren't any offers that match your requests, you will go out for claiming as an initial pinch hit.

Pinch hits will be posted after assignments are sent out.

Offers:

You must offer a minimum of 3 unique fandoms with at least 1 ship. You can offer a maximum of 10 offers and 10 ships per offer.

You can offer a choice of art, fic, or both.

You will be matched on the fandom, ship, and the medium offered.

If for some reason that you are not matched to what you offer, please contact the mod immediately. That will be the only reason that we will change your assignment after they are given out.

If there aren't any requests that match your offers, the mod will contact you at the email address associated with your AO3 account to see if there is anything else you can offer. If you do not reply within 24 hours, or there is nothing else you can offer, your signup will be deleted.

Additional Information:

'Do not match requests' will be accepted for this exchange from now until sign-ups close.

If you wish to not match to a participant, please email rarefemslashexchangemod@gmail.com letting us know your AO3 name, the AO3 name of the participant you would like to not be matched to, and what you would like us to do in the instance where you are their only match as a creator, you are their only match as a recipient, and you are a pinch hit. We don't need to know the reasons for this request. We'll do our best to uphold your request.

Please do not use this as an opportunity to try and match to a specific creator.

Commenting are mandatory for this exchange so please remember that if you are signing up, you are expected to comment on your gift to participate in the next round. If you signed up for the last round and didn't comment by the time nominations opened, you will not be eligible to participate this round.

If your sign-up breaks any of the above rules or is found to be in bad faith, the mods may contact you. We hold the right to delete your sign-up without warning if we find that you're acting in bad faith.

Any questions or comments can be left here (anon is on, screening is not) or emailed to the mod at rarefemslashexchangemod@gmail.com.

But is for others undiminished somewhere

Good heavens. I have a 'save the date' Christmas card/ wedding invite from my younger nephew and his fiancée. Next May. How very nice of them and do I have to go, in about equal measure. I have no expectation of being walker-free in the next six months, they live a good ways outside of Toronto, and Catholic ceremonies, even weddings, require a lot of up and downing. Ah well, sufficient unto the day etc.

Did not make it to the library. Sidewalks are still ice-fringed, even with two days of near 0C, and a pain to walk over. Thursday is supposed to reach dizzy heights of 7C/ over 40F, which will be soon enough.

Did get to Fiesta which has turkey rolls for less than Lobiaws or Sobey's, also Dufflet cookies, Dufflet chocolate rolls, and a single gingerbread person with a broken leg, all of which I bought, alas.

Was also accosted there by a mother from the daycare and her daughter, the former of whom recognized me while I couldn't quite place her. Trouble was she looked like she might be the Young Ladies' mother's (non-existent) sister, and her 7 year old-ish daughter not only looks like but has the same name as L, so my mind kind of stuttered for a minute, before remembering that L is in uni. Mom says we date from 2018 so maybe she's the Swiss mother we had then? whose kid had moved to toddlers by late 2019. Must confess I kind of stopped registering the individual babies by then, which was yet another sign that I needed to retire.

Life lived in dot points

surgical recovery continues apace. The incision has mostly healed, although the knot of dissolving stitches at one end got caught when I was trying to clean it and pulled it slightly open, so I've now cut off the knot, put a fancy steri-strip over it to hold it together, and a little circular sticking plaster over that. Internals still noticeably sore, externals are itchy; have been putting 'scar therapy gel' on which seems to help (it was in the cupboard; I do not know what any of the ingredients are). I see the surgeon on Tuesday for follow up.
reviewers comments for my candidacy proposal are in (received late on Friday). I'm not actually sure what the next step is -- I'll work it out tomorrow. I think it said 'no edits' which is a surprise, given that I have been reading and annotating weekly since submitting, and there are a lot of 'this could be clearer' and 'what did you mean here?' notes. Also, I found another answer to one of the reviewers questions from the presentation about why books and not films/tv, which is that I'm hoping to get a wider range of cultural influences (and I have a paper from Italy in which almost all of the TV/movies that the kids reported was from the USA, which very much supports my 'this would be an issue' argument)
there was an HDR and supervisors lunch run by the school I'm in on Monday. This was very interesting and I met a lot of people. Including one who I was unsurprised to discover is an acquaintance of Youngest. Very queer (not very surprising) and neurodiverse (should not have been surprising) bunch that I met.
weather has been Warm. To the point that artisanat has been volunteering to put the air-con on.
There have been some changes to the mix of South Asian grocers on High Road. One of the two north of Bunnings has gone (and the one still there no longer stocks palak paneer in their shelf-stable preprepared meals; not the regular nor the tofu/vegan option. They do, however, still have some vegan options). There is a new one that is further south than the ones I was aware of -- nearly to where the petrol station is. To the point that it is still so new that not all the shelves are stocked; we couldn't find the box meals there at all, but we had to rush because we ran out of time. Thus there are still three that I'm aware of.
Monday's rehearsal I went with the intention to play pizzicato, which was mostly fine, but I got there to discover the C string broken (spare was at home) so had to transpose some of the work up an octave, which ah, that needs practice. As does one of the sections we hadn't got to that I'd failed to realise has a lot of fast notes.
craft has stalled
reading - one of these week's I'll get around to doing another reading post. Over on the Book Club of Habitica Discord I've joined the TBR Bingo challenge for Dec/Jan and set myself a bingo card of 16 books from my 'paused' list. So far, I've finished 1, which is progress but not as fast as I want.

25 Irresistible Memes of Cats Treating Every Cardboard Box Like Premium Real Estate

Posted by Sarah Brown

https://cheezburger.com/43619333/25-irresistible-memes-of-cats-treating-every-cardboard-box-like-premium-real-estate

Cats and boxes just belong together. You can bring home the fanciest cat bed in the world, and they'll still choose the cardboard box it came in. There's something hilarious about how quickly they claim a box as their new favorite spot. Big boxes, tiny boxes, weirdly shaped boxes… none of it matters. If it's on the floor, they're climbing inside like it's a personal mission.

Half the charm is watching their little inspection routine. They sniff every corner, tap the edges with a paw, and then plop down like they've discovered hidden treasure. Even when the box is clearly too small, they squeeze themselves in with full confidence. And somehow, it works.

The funniest part is how serious they get once they're inside. Suddenly this random cardboard box becomes their fortress, command center, and personal studio apartment. They peek out like undercover spies, swat at anything that moves, and act deeply offended if you dare try to move "their" box. Cats treat a simple box like it's prime luxury real estate, and they commit to the role every single time.

Current Music: Bruce Adler & Joanne Borts, "Fifty-fifty"

אַ ניקל פֿאַר זיי, אַ ניקל פֿאַר מיר

Apparently I can no longer re-toast myself a signature half pastrami, half corned beef sandwich from Mamaleh's without spending the rest of the evening singing the same-named hit from a 1917 American Yiddish musical. The Folksbiene never seems to have revived it and if the rest of the score was as catchy, they really should. [edit] I am charmed that the composer clearly found the nickel conceit tempting enough to revisit in a later musical, but that line quoted about the First Lady, didn't I just ask the twentieth century to stay where we left it? [edit edit] I fell down a slight rabbit hole of Bruce Adler and now feel I have spent an evening at a Yiddish vaudeville house on the Lower East Side circa 1923.

At the other end of the musical spectrum,

spatch maintains it is not American-normal to be able to sing the Holst setting of "In the Bleak Midwinter," which until last night I had assumed was just such seasonal wallpaper that I had absorbed it by unavoidable dint of Christmas—it's one of the carols I can't remember learning, unlike others which have identifiable vectors in generally movies, madrigals, or folk LPs. Opinions?

Thanks to lunisolar snapback, Hanukkah like every other holiday this year seems to have sprung up out of nowhere, but we managed to get hold of candles last night and tomorrow will engage in the mitzvah of last-minute cleaning the menorah.

22 Sneaky Pictures of Big-Eared Feline Detectives Eavesdropping on All the Drama

Posted by Sarah Brown

https://cheezburger.com/43618309/22-sneaky-pictures-of-big-eared-feline-detectives-eavesdropping-on-all-the-drama

Cats with big ears always look like they're eavesdropping on every conversation in the house, whether they're invited to it or not. One quiet whisper and those oversized little radars snap to attention like they've just uncovered top-tier gossip. These pointy-eared detectives act like they're monitoring every sound, storing tiny secrets for later… probably so they can give us that classic judgmental stare.

They'll sit across the room pretending to mind their own business, but those ears tell the real story. A single snack wrapper crinkle? Detected instantly. Mention the vet in a whisper softer than a sigh? They heard it, processed it, and are already planning their escape route. Even half-asleep, they somehow stay tuned in, collecting household intel like tiny undercover operatives with fluffier credentials than any spy should have.

These big-eared eavesdroppers aren't just cute. They bring so much purrsonality to every room, adding comedy to even the quietest moments. Whether they're listening for juicy secrets, snack opportunities, or simply keeping tabs on their hoomans, they always seem one step ahead.

(no subject)

I am not a fan of december.
... three tries at the next sentence later I kind of wind up back at 'the dark bit always sucks and it's kind of unsatisfying when feels are fundamentally about the sky orb'.
This too shall pass.

I have been reading fanfic but already I have read all the ones from this new to me throuple and am going again with the filters off, so that's working about as well as it usually does.

There must be really teensy tiny amounts of canon though, none of these resemble the others except for the ending.

Unrelated to the throuple, I keep thinking up plot bunnies that are just the grand confrontation parts, and then not wanting to think up how the confrontation ends up happening. Like obviously it was all a big misunderstanding and the Star gets to be Epic and Misunderstood and then Everyone Says Sorry!
Which is a grand daydream but not a story I let see the light of day.

Got to have some sort of core disagreement
or
got to write a sportslike.

I mean there's no reason not to posit that magic users do duels on the regular, and being really good at duels could be so satisfying, but, I do not read stories like that, I read stories with big epic demon fights etc.

I do have an idea about The Magic Went Away But We Can Bring It Back. Only it keeps veering about not deciding which particular verse it is in or if I need to remix them all.

Also if magic was real here then I think here would end up looking like Golarion. I think Golarion from Pathfinder is a logical end point of it being impossible to take away people's Weapons of Mass Destruction. People there can get upset and just do a Plague Storm and make it everyone's problem. Magic can get fouled up so thoroughly you end up with Mana Wastes. Crashed sky cities can make for problems thousands of years later. That all seems perfectly logical if magic.

So what's the actual up side?

A lot of stories don't want magic, they want to be *the ones with* magic. Like, as soon as the other guy can do the exact same things, that's Hard mode and distinctly less fun. People spend more time dreaming of fireballs than resist or protect from energy spells.

Also the protection spells fail when it is drama, and then there is waking up in hospital, because stakes.
There are so many more stories with magic injuries than magic healing, that I have seen.

Making there be stakes even when there is magic healing seems pretty simples, since it's all the things that do not involve hospital, which is most days.

But then I end up reading a bunch of stories in a row about how magic user abusive relationships can go that wrong, and I'm stuck between, well that is a lot of no fun, and, well if they used the same abilities on each other that we've seen against the bad guys, that is so very not dark enough yet.

Tricky, making something interesting to read once it can go horror story from a standing start.

Memory spells and tracking spells alone make nightmare fuel.

Okay, I shall go think of something else to do.

'I spent a week earning her trust, gave her some bologna': Man saves cat from tree with the most une

Posted by Briana Viser

https://cheezburger.com/43583237/i-spent-a-week-earning-her-trust-gave-her-some-bologna-man-saves-cat-from-tree-with-the-most

Cats are the most confusing creatures. The man in this story sees a cat in a tree outside his apartment complex. He's the only one who can approach the cat without her getting scared. Over a week's time, he gains more and more trust from the cat, and even offers her some bologna. She's skeptical, but she follows him into his home. That very night, she's already sleeping on his head, and he's given her the name Amity. Saving cats is basically a Christmas miracle, and this hooman seemed to have worked very hard for Amity.

It's not everyday that someone really goes out of their way with lots of effort to save a cat. We're all familiar with the "cat stuck in the tree" trope, where a fireman has to come in and save the poor thing. But this man isn't even a fireman! No ladder, no uniform, just himself and his kind soul. He lured her in over time. If only men treated women like this in dating. Enjoy the story below, where a man saves a cat from a tree, and the internet applauds his bravery, persistence, and efforts.

26 Cat Memes to Pawnder Over Instead of Wrapping Presents

Posted by Isabella Penn

https://cheezburger.com/43618053/26-cat-memes-to-pawnder-over-instead-of-wrapping-presents

The holidays are officially creeping up, and with them comes the annual ritual of pretending we're good at wrapping presents. It's never just about finding the purrfect gift — you also have to buy paper, tape, bows, tags, and then somehow perform delicate origami on a cardboard box while the person you're gifting it to waits to tear it apart in under three seconds.

Wrapping feels like a scam. A festive, glitter-covered scam.

Gift bags seem like an easier option, but those come with their own curse. Once someone hands you a bag, you're legally required to store it for the rest of your natural life. You can't throw it away, because what if you need it one day? So now you're hoarding 47 bags in a closet that definitely was not designed for that purpose.

Or, hear me out, you could outsource the whole situation to your cat.
