9. What time do you usually get up and go to bed each day?

I get up between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. I got to bed between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. I sleep anywhere from five to seven hours. It depends on how I feel. For example, this morning I couldn't calm down, so I was up until almost six. I got up 3 1/2 hours later. Now and then I take a gummy and sleep for 7-9 hours. I just don't want them every night. I'm dying to read if anyone else sleeps as I do.

Hello, everyone!

So, I'm writing a fic where a plane disappears in the US. As in, it drops from all radars for a few minutes and it's presumed down for a few hours. I need to know any plausible flight routes within the US from Boston where this could happen. Any stretches of land where a pilot could make an emergency landing and the plane still be presumed down for like an hour or three is good for me.

"I would advocate upping the ante on Greenland, by deploying a small trigger force to Greenland," the former general said in an email to Snopes.

Another Plan, Another Opportunity

:: Aidan and Ed have a very grim conversation. Vic wakes early, and the trio begin planning in earnest. Part of the Edison’s Mirror universe. ::

A soft, breathy squeak drew both Aidan and Ed’s attention to Vic, sleeping on the pallet in front of the yellow sofa. Ed scrambled off the green sofa and hurried to press his hands to Vic’s shoulder and forearm. Vic swallowed, licking his lips, then repeated both motions. “Did somebody force feed me tea made from dirty socks?” he grumbled weakly.

“I can make you some better tea,” Aidan answered, chuckling, “but no. That’s not a side effect of my work, either. Perhaps you should examine your recent diet?”

"You have a right to flee for your safety," DeSantis said in a 2025 clip unrelated to the Minneapolis shooting.

Social media users mistakenly claimed a photo of another woman was actually Macklin Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in January 2026.

Offhand I can think of: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and most of Europe, minus the more Orbán-esque parts of it. After that it starts getting awkward (India, kind of, economically), at least when you're considering countries with any real clout. Given the man poised to take over the US if Trump finally does keel over is considerably worse than he is, being a man with a Yale law degree who publicly claims ICE agents have "absolute immunity" to murder people, the United States isn't anywhere near the list. Keir Starmer has to pretend it is for realpolitik reasons, but does anyone at all really think we can trust the American administration when it matters now?

Current Mood: uncomfortable

* This is an unlisted youtube video that is Canadian news special from 2010 about the Legacy of Brendan Burke. In it, a then current NHL player confirms that there are gay players, their teams know, and other details. Also, it mentions a 'cancelled press conference' that was going to be about a player coming out.

Weird thing is, I swear to you I remember hearing about that press conference thing way back then. I wasn't into hockey then, but I knew people on LJ who were and also people who just were hype for queer news.

* Anyway, I am making references posts for myself of links to things like that. I also need to start one for some HR media about things Jacob Tierny and others have said, because they said cool thing... but if I ever quote them I want sources. There has just been so much media... so many good statements, François Arnaud pushing back against bullshit criticisms of the show, etc. I need to make like a personal reference index... eventually.

342/365: WW1 memorial bench, Bewdley
Click for a larger, sharper image
Well, a snowy evening, anyway, as it wasn't doing more than raining until after dark. It's very wet stuff and only a couple of centimetres, so I don't expect it to cause major issues unless things pick up again overnight. Earlier on I was in Bewdley, and it was a bit of a struggle to find something to photograph for the 365 project. Fortunately I remembered about this First World War memorial bench in Load Street. I don't know who designed it, I'm afraid.

Current Mood: sleepy

A new comic from Ignite Press by Stephanie Williams, Letizia Cadonici (main artist) and Juliet Nneka (alternate covers.) At the turn of the century, Etta, a young Black woman, studies both science and a book of old remedies she inherited from her mother, along with some dire warnings she doesn't heed.

This is a really interesting historical fantasy with elements of cosmic horror and dark academia. Each issue has alternate covers in very different styles. I like both of them.

I'll be following this one.

Content notes: So far racism is part of the world and why the characters make some choices, rather than violent or constantly present on-page. The rabbits are used in experiments that are not cruel - Etta tests a healing ointment on one that has an injury - but they seem likely to eventually turn into zombies or get possessed by cosmic horrors or merge with eldritch plants.

As usual (and as I hoped for), fandomtrees has a one-week delay, so now I have a much better chance of finishing more than one thing, heh. Here is the latest admin post with the trees that still need gifts.

Also, candyheartsex sign-ups have closed, and three more people in my fandoms signed up after I had already gone to bed! Can't wait to find out what my actual assignment will be.

Today's writing

I worked a little on one

fandomtrees treat, started planning another, and did some brainstorming for
