ysabetwordsmithToday I set up a new label for the Sharpie Oil Paint Pen Extra Fine that I bought recently. I also took some other pictures around the yard.

Mar. 3rd, 2026 09:57 amoneinistToday, March 3rd, is ひな祭り or Hinamatsuri (Girls Day; sometimes referred to as Dolls day too I think). I haven't been able to locate our decorative dolls after tidying the study (the box is buried somewhere in the closet I know at least), but I'm going to give it another go today.
For dinner, I'm making chirashizushi (it's like sushi in a box with mixed toppings) and for dessert Bavarian cream (since it's my partner's favorite and I didn't succeed as well as I had wanted to when I made it for Valentine's this year for the first time). I've already bought the festival rice crackers, but I'd like to try to make ichigodaifuku (a strawberry covered in sweet red bean paste and then wrapped in a sheet of mochi) or yukiichigo (which is like a miniature strawberry shortcake wrapped in a sheet mochi) as well, since these two are considered the more traditional festival desserts.
We still have some strawberries left over from the set of fruit my partner got me for my dad's 命日 so it would be a nice use for them. (My dictionary tells me I should call it death anniversary but that feels off to me, the use of anniversary. I'd rather go with the more neutral deathday, although it's not perfect either... but it goes better as a pair with birthday too.)
I'm going to try to look up some recipes and update my shopping list quickly before I leave for my doctor's appointment, get groceries on my way back, make the Bavarian cream and anything that needs additional resting/setting time, look for those dolls, and then soon enough it should be time to get dinner ready. It's raining today so I might take the bus to the station instead of walking, we'll see.

tenminutesaday I'm trying to get back into this, so have some random Donna and baby! Ten.
Setting a timer for 10 minutes...
Donna held the wiggling baby , bouncing him up and down. She felt like she'd been doing this for ia century and the Doctor wouldn't calm down for nap time.
" Still got a gob," she muttered over his cries. " Guess some things don't change, Spaceman. Or Space-baby?"
Rubbing his back, she wondered if this was just going to be her life now. She remembered some of the stories her mates who were mums told her, and a few her mum had recounted from Donna's own toddler hood. How did they survive?
" You are pretty cute like this" she admitted, tousling the Doctor's wisps of soft hair before being greeted with a hiccup and a spit-up of milk and whatever else on her shoulder.
Donna glowered. " Lovely. Right, let's just try and get you to sleep, yeah?"
The baby Doctor hiccuped again.
"Taking that as a yes."
With a cloth on her shoulder, Donna carefully placed the Doctor in a crib the TARDIS had provided. It was nice; a sort of old-fashioned one with a miniature solar system. She made a mental note to ask him eventually why he even had that.
" Stories" Donna said, running a finger across a small shelf of picture books. She didn't recognize most of them, and several had some word circular writing on the spines. Until something caught her eye.
" Well, least you've got the classics." She opened and started to read a dog-eared copy of Peter Rabbit.
(A/N: This was kind of fun! :P)

Media Post
Mar. 2nd, 2026 07:05 pminchoatewordsMovies: Rental Family is now on Hulu/Disney+. It stars Brendan Fraser as an American actor in Tokyo, who takes a job with an agency that specializes in "rental families," so he goes out on jobs where he has to play the role of a father for a young child, for example. So of course, things get complicated when feelings are involved, and it brings up questions of family and the lines between the personal and the professional. It was really good and there were points where I got a little emotional, honestly. I recommend it.
Television/Streaming: two episodes of Farscape: "Thanks for Sharing," where the two Crichtons end up getting split up on Talyn and Moya; and "Green Eyed Monster," where Talyn gets swallowed by the Budong and Crichton thinks that Crais is sleeping with Aeryn.
We also watched the second half of the newest season of Bridgerton. I ended up liking the second half better than the first. ( Cut for spoilers )
Books: I finished Pylon. It was very stream-of-consciousness early Faulkner. A departure from his usual southern gothic kind of tale; this one was in a fictionalized New Orleans and involves an air show in the early days of small airplanes. People crash, the reporter is in love with the wife of the pilot (who is apparently in a poly relationship but without using that term), and the people involved with the planes just kind of float along.
February was not a great month for books, as I DNF'd two books, so I only finished two.
Last night, I finished Butter by Asako Yuzuki. This was my online book club's pick for March. There is a lot to unpack here regarding the role of women in patriarchal society, especially Japan; food and culture; and the role of weight is discussed a lot, so if that is a trigger for you, you might want to avoid this book. I did make the pasta and it made me want to cook more, heh. I did enjoy the food descriptions more than anything else here, honestly.

fandom trumps hate 2026 promo!
Mar. 2nd, 2026 11:06 pmjavert
This is my first year doing Fandom Trumps Hate! I just thought I’d do a little post showing off what I’m offering for 2026. If you don’t know what Fandom Trumps Hate is, it’s a charity fandom event where people bid on auctions others are putting up, and then they donate their bid amount to charity and get fanworks (or other fandom-related stuff) in return. For mine, I’m letting the person doing the bidding pick the charity they like best out of the list
fandomtrumpshate has put together.Both of my auctions are only for Pokémon fanworks. The first one, for fanart, is open to all ages and all ratings. The second one, for fanfic, is for people over 18 only and open to all ratings.
You can check them both out at the following links:
Auction 1 | Auction 2
All important information is available on there! I’m not going to type it all back up because I don’t really see the point, but if you want to get Pokémon art and/or fic from me*, there’s one way to get it! I don’t know if I’ll ever take fic commissions (especially for fandom stuff) so outside of exchanges this will most likely be the only way to ever get fic written by me. Auctions open tomorrow, March 3rd, at 8am EST!
Thank you! 🙂↕️
*with some caveats that are listed on the relevant auctions. you can always email me at the address listed on the auctions if you have any questions or need clarification about anything.
Other news to whomst it may concern: I'm exhausted after Citrus Con, but it went great! My Ko-Fi sketches are still open if you're interested, and I'm going to be sending out invoices for my merch stuff later this week, so that's also still available until I get to it. For now I'm going to sleep forever lol. o7 o7 o7
Willow Cuttings
Mar. 2nd, 2026 03:18 pmysabetwordsmithMy willow cuttings have arrived! :D I will need to unpack them and set them up. My plan is to put some in water, which makes willow water, which can be used to root other things. I shall take cuttings from some dogwoods and other things here to see if this works. I also intend to put some willow cuttings in soil to see how that works. Since willows are pretty much the easiest thing to propagate from cuttings, and I have 3 of each color, I figure at least one of each should survive.
Willow is a keystone plant, supporting many other species. Early blooms feed bees. Birds like to nest in willows. Many species of insects, especially butterfly and moth larvae, feed on them. They also make great craft materials and, as mentioned above, spew out rooting hormones.

Mar. 2nd, 2026 08:21 pmoursinTwo reading groups - one in person, one online - on consecutive days - plus various assorted frazzlements - has left me not feeling like coming up with the wonted witty badinage and repartee to delight dr rdrz.
(Who said 'What witty badinage and repartee'???)
Moderately entertaining coincidence: RL book group was being hosted in a part of London in which (lightly disguised) work discussed in online group takes place (snarked at by the author). I suspect it has changed Quite A Lot since those days....
***
Talking of London: Square Mile strikes back: how the City of London is fighting disinformation about crime. I discover from that that we have a Lady Mayor of London, and upon further research, she is not even the first woman to hold the office but the first to take the style of Lady Mayor, go her.
***
Do we not find it annoying when academic publishers do not reveal, until you have actually made a purchase, that their ebooks can only be consumed via their walled-garden app? In this particular instance at least the work was open-access and I had not taken a loss except in the expenditure of time in the process. But really. If you are offering your product as a ebook, I think this should be made clear from the outset.

Challenge #553
Mar. 2nd, 2026 12:18 pmshivver posting in tenminutesadaySorry. The days have just been flying by for me. No excuses to make. But here's today's challenge.
Create a character in your mind (or use one you've already created) that has at least this much backstory and personality figured out:
* In general, are they optimistic/glass-half-full or pessimistic/glass-half-empty?
* In general, do they have enough money/income to do whatever they might want (within reason) or are they struggling to make ends meet?
* They have a skill learned while they were young or in school that they're passable at but not great at and that they haven't done in at least ten years, such as drawing, playing a musical instrument, playing a sport, dancing, or doing a hobby.
Now, write a couple of paragraphs of them responding to someone inviting them to do that skill again (like joining a community band, dancing at a party, or check out a knitting club). Be sure that they respond in a way that makes sense for their outlook and situation.

Two new poems!
Mar. 2nd, 2026 08:18 pmswan_towerI am belated in posting about one of these -- but it turns out that's fine, because another one dropped just a couple of days later!
First up is "The Virtues of the Throne," a piece inspired by the Sanskrit text Siṃhāsana Dvātriṃśikā (rendered in the translation I have as Thirty-Two Tales of the Throne of Vikramaditya). It leans hard into the kind of rhythmic musicality you might expect from a song -- which is why it's appearing in 4LPH4NUM3R1C, a magazine that makes a point of offering both audio and text versions of its material! (Yes, this is the same place that published "The Great Undoing" a few months ago.)
And second, for a complete contrast, is the free verse piece "Core Sample" in DreamForge Anvil. This one is inspired by a piece of art created by Mark Garlick, and it's sorta science fantasy-ish.
Thanks to poetry generally being quicker to write than even short fiction, and therefore me having manymany opportunities to sub and sell it, there's more on the way. But that's it for now!

Birdfeeding
Mar. 2nd, 2026 01:51 pmysabetwordsmithToday is cloudy, cold, and damp. Last night it snowed a bit, then sleeted, and seems to have rained later. Now most of the ice has melted off.
I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows and a male cardinal.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 3/2/26 -- I transplanted snowdrops from the parking lot to the white garden.
EDIT 3/2/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
I set up a label with the new Sharpie Oil Paint Pen (Extra Fine) and took pictures.
I saw a squirrel in the trees.
EDIT 3/2/26 -- My red curly willow cuttings arrived, as did my order from John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds. I have set up two of the willow cuttings in water, one in potting soil. I also took a cutting from the fishpond mulberry tree and one from a red dogwood, which I added to the water cups to see if the willows will help those root too.
EDIT 3/2/26 -- I did more work around the patio.
EDIT 3/2/26 -- I did more work around the patio.
I've seen a male cardinal chasing a female, and a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder.
I am done for the night.

🎬 January-February Movies Wrap-up
Mar. 2nd, 2026 01:12 pmbluapapilio
Greenland ('20): It's weird that I had not heard/seen this before but ah well. There were a couple of extremely tense moments. I feel like there was a lack of urgency in some scenes from background characters. Not the most original movie but I will definitely watch the second one to see what happens to them down the line. 3/5 stars
10.0 Earthquake ('14): Ah, I've seen this. I'm getting tired of family drama disaster movies. And the daughter with a gross love interest/friend. It had a few good points though. 2/5
Night of the Reaper ('25): The twist did manage to surprise me a little, probably because I'm not one to try to figure things out on my own, but it made sense, although the killer reveal should've been a flashback when she said 'I followed you after the funeral'. Would watch again. 4/5?
The Invitation ('15): Guy and his girlfriend along with their old friends are invited to the house he used to live in with his wife and kid until he died in an accident and she cheated on the guy with someone at her grief meetings. Come to find out, the ex-wife and her new boyfriend are in a cult together and acting strange. Turns out they almost poisoned them all to death. Not sure if it was going to be a murder/suicide or if they were just going for the friends. I ended up skimming after a certain point.
Aquamarine ('06): I've seen this movie on lists with stuff like She's the Man etc as ~cultural relics~ so i figured I should watch it lol, Two absolutely boy crazy girls encounter a mermaid who has to prove love exists to her father or be forced into an arranged marriage. They teach her through magazines like Cosmopolitan how to attract one guy in particular. Contains bad acting at times and plenty of cringe situations. 😂 I like the thing with Bonnie and Leonard. It has the whole 'true love can be platonic' thing like Frozen. You know what, I did enjoy this , can't resist 'friendship is love', 'people aren't always what you expect' not to mention 'parents are people too'. => I only sorta knew one song. I feel like I would rewatch it. 4/5 stars
Coherence ('13): I know you're supposed to be confused but I prefer a more clean-cut ending. 2/5 stars
Quest for Camelot ('98) (rewatch) - Man, why wasn't that Ruber cut off the second he started being nasty. The music lyrics for the Camelot song were so straightforward. XD I don't understand what killed Lionel, was it the fall itself? Does the horn sounding only mean 'Excalibur has been stolen'? What do they do if Camelot is being attacked? Turns out I remembered "I Stand Alone" really well!There are plenty of references in this movie including Star Wars. Overall had a great time, I look forward to rewatching more animated movies!
