Title from Boulevard of Broken Dreams

"Edric was beginning to believe that he didn’t have a soulmate at all. He’d never seen them, at least not since he was probably a baby, but he couldn’t remember that far back. The most he’d ever seen was a flash of gold in the corner of his vision before he was alone in his dream again, staring into a blank white void."

Soulmate AU where you share dreams with your soulmate. Unfortunately for Edric, Hunter doesn't sleep.

Words: 10429, Chapters: 2/2, Language: English

Quiz, snow, sale

 Our team won the monthly quiz at a local village hall. Such pride! I think everyone on the team had at least one 'nobody else knows this' question, which is always rewarding.  We won sugary treats which are very bad for us.  They were delicious. 

Today, it snowed. Most of Pembrokeshire seems to have been covered in a delightful white blanket, though down here by the water the snow quickly went to slush. 

Much hard work went into launching the Shop on the Borderlands winter sale (we decided to ditch the idea of Black Friday, which is kind of meaningless in the UK anyway, and go a week or so earlier.)   There was much rushing around putting books into piles and photographing them at top speed.

Then I forgot to clear the site cache before we sent out the newsletter yesterday saying the sale had begun, meaning that a lot of people saw an empty page of No Offers.  Oh well.  There has been a steady stream of sales today so it's all more or less worked out, though we're both rather worn by the effort of all the packing.

kaberett: Photo of a pile of old leather-bound books. (books)
[personal profile] kaberett

but I did spend this morning sat down with my printouts and my page markers and my highlighters, and I did this evening take some photos of the relevant pages of a book I've loaned to someone else, and the essay (I say, grandiosely) tentatively entitled The Obligatory Page And A Half On Descartes: against a new dualism is definitely In The Works.

I haven't quite worked out the It is a truth universally acknowledged... opening sentence, and it's probably mostly going to be a series of quotations accompanied by EMPHATIC GESTICULATION in the form of CAPSLOCK, but it's not actually (in its entirety) germane to The Book, so here the indignant yelling can go.

https://mixnmojo.com/news/Outlaws-Remastered-now-available

Today puts the “out” in Outlaws: Remastered, and while the title may not be the overwhelming favorite of our forum community, it is nevertheless now available for PC and a number of consoles. Enjoy today’s launch trailer as you wait for your order to download:

Thumbnail

Those of you Windows users with tight budgets and a loyalty to uncompromised lo-fi might appreciate the reminder that the original Outlaws remains very much available on Steam and GOG for a laughably small sum of $6.99. And should it cause you any grief to launch, be assured when making your purchase that it runs like a dream through, well, DREAMM.

Jack Keefe Stories

Nov. 20th, 2025 09:04 pm
[syndicated profile] standard_ebooks_feed

Posted by Ring Lardner

https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/ring-lardner/jack-keefe-stories

The arrogant, proud, and mostly illiterate Jack Keefe of Bedford, Indiana had already established a career pitching for the minor league baseball club in Terre Haute. His strong pitching arm attracted the attention of Chicago White Sox owner Charles Comiskey and before he knew it, Keefe had been signed to play for the team. Through the ups and downs of his life, from his baseball career, to his marriage and family, to his service in World War I and his eventual return to baseball, Jack Keefe documents everything in a series of letters to his old pal back home, Al Blanchard.

Behind Keefe’s rube-like dialect, these stories offer a glimpse at significant figures and moments in the era’s baseball culture. Jack faces off against legends like Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, and Babe Ruth. He travels around the world as part of the 1913–1914 Baseball World Tour with the Chicago White Sox and New York Giants. He even fights in the trenches during World War I. The final stories take place during his 1919 season with the White Sox, a team who would become infamous for the game-fixing conspiracy in the 1919 World Series dubbed the “Black Sox Scandal.”

Ring Lardner wrote the Jack Keefe stories from 1914–1919. The twenty-six stories were originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, and while each can be enjoyed as a standalone story, they also form a larger continuous narrative arc. The first six stories were published in book form in 1916 as You Know Me Al, and they became landmarks of baseball culture. Two additional compilations were published containing the nine stories that span Jack’s time as a soldier in World War I under the titles Treat ’em Rough and The Real Dope.

Ring Lardner’s unique ability to capture the dialect of middle America was cited as an influence by many authors who would eventually become household names, like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Virginia Woolf. The Jack Keefe stories are Lardner’s earliest and most famous works that brought this dialogue style to the public eye.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, when we remember and honor the many transgender people who lost their lives in acts of anti-trans hate and violence. A thoughtful summary of history and insights is at the Trans Remembrance Project. (via [personal profile] dolari – thank you, Jenn!)

Violence and bigotry are on the upswing in this country; these are extremely difficult times. I have no good advice for my trans siblings. I myself am grateful for the good fortune of living in an urban area on the left coast, where there is some amount of grace and acceptance.

May you all be safe – and loved.

I nearly posted a thanksgiving message to my American friends. Oops. Next week, Gadget!

I've been quiet, in part because all the other shiny socials are taking up my time and space, in part because things are kinda busy right now in garden and work and party planning and Christmas.

Also, I'm not sleeping well. I can fall asleep relatively well (except for when I can't and remain awake until 2:30am) and wake with a vague tiredness that is never really improved by actual sleep.

--

The Month Of Writing Dangerously is not happening, per se. It's really more The Month Of Writing Safely And Moderately With Some Occasional Bursts.

I do feel vaguely bad about a few fic WIPs that I have had lingering for years, and yes, I know most people don't post WIPs for precisely this reason. I don't regret posting them, but I do feel a little regretful that I'm not finishing them. There are plans and plots for them, but actually getting those plots into scenes and the scenes into words is another thing. And also: obviously the longer it goes, the harder it is to keep writing and the fewer people are interested in the story anymore.

--

It looks like I will be working the Christmas-New Year stretch. I'm not sure if that's office hours, or just being on call, I think it's office hours, but there's not much happening.

There are now three of us in the area I work in, monitoring two systems, and while I will have to come up to speed on the second system, we can hope that there are no major issues over what is usually a very quiet period.

We can hope.

Ups and downs

A year ago I was making slow progress with Nano, passing my First Aid requal, and getting a cuteness overload from the grandbabies.

Today was bright and cold, so husband wrapped up well. The first taxi took AGES to book, so I was worried we were going to be late but we got there just in time. The podiatrist redressed husband's toe and we were back out. We did chat to them about why they became a podiatrist. It's one of those jobs you have to CHOOSE. They said they were working in an admin post at the Royal and got friendly with someone they described as the happiest human they'd ever met who turned out to be a podiatrist.

Coming home, we got a taxi right away, which after last week's debacle was a real relief. The taxi driver didn't help me put the wheelchair in the boot, which was just rude. Back home we got warmed up and I had a fight with the safety strap thing on the wheelchair that had got itse lf tangled round the wheel, but I got it straightened out.

Workwise, I only had one meeting. We're moving away from minutes with this one and just using the AI notes - edited of course. But it seemed to take ages to get them done. I suppose I'm getting used to a new way of working.

Now I'm watching another episode of Accused. It should be called something like Gollum, Lucifer, Madam Vastra and The Doctor walk into a bar...

The Husky & His White Cat Shizun finishes its main story! There's one volume left, but it only contains extras. I'm definitely still going to read it, though-- I'm very looking forward to Xue Meng's Blind Dates!

But aghhhh this series! It has become one of my top favorites. I love it so much. I'm so glad I started it and tried it, it's been great to read.

vol. 10 spoilers
I was kind of scratching my head at the whole 'special ' Butterfly Boned Beauty Feast thing, which I didn't remember being talked about before it happened with Mo Ran. But, since the function of that was really just to bring Mo Ran back to life, I don't really mind it.

There are so many things I want to see/read/write for this fandom, but alas, it seems that the fandom's interests and mine are not super aligned. Canon has me satisfied on both the domestic fluff/romance and on the dark dubcon/noncon fronts! It's the canon divergence that I'm mainly interested in, particularly surrounding Shi Mei putting the Flower of Eightfold Sorrows in Mo Ran. How would it have gone if Chu Wanning had gotten the flower? What if the flower in Mo Ran had been noticed earlier, without the time and space shenanigans? Or what if Shi Mei was discovered, what if Mo Ran got taken into Rufeng as a child, what if what if what if... also Ye Wangxi, transmasc icon to me, I wish there was fic for this. I also want fic with Ye Wangxi and Nangong Si getting their happy ending! I have much swirling around in my head, but who knows if it'll end up getting put into fic form.

Dear Carolyn: My stepdad died suddenly of a heart attack two years ago, and my mom let me move in with her. Her place is huge, so she doesn’t want to live there alone. She can’t sell the house because she didn’t really inherit it; she can live there until she dies, then it goes to my stepbrother. My mom doesn’t charge me rent; she said I should save and invest the money instead, so it’ll be there when I do get a place. She doesn’t try to run my life, and I have plenty of room, plus there’s a pool, sauna, tennis court, etc., so it’s a great deal and we both benefit.

This arrangement makes my dad and stepmom crazy. They keep telling me it’s hurting me since I’m not living in the “real world.” And they complain that they can’t visit me at my home. My parents are okay with each other but haven’t been in the same room since my college graduation six years ago. My mom and stepmom don’t get along. But I go over to their house all the time, so it’s not interfering with our relationship.

My dad and stepmom even made my little sister ask why I’m living still with my mom — because no way a 15-year-old is asking that on her own.

I am banking money, I cook for myself a lot of the time and do my own laundry. With work, dating, getting enough exercise and sleep, life is hard enough. Why should I deliberately make it harder on myself just to prove a point? How do I shut them down while staying on good terms?
