Gingerdoodle cookies, dark chocolate walnut cookies, a baguette, mozzarella, slicing tomatoes, hardy kiwi fruit, pint of pickled red onion, pint of horseradish dill pickles, shisho-orange mint lemonade, lavender-lemon verbena lemonade sour packs, 4 lbs of golden potatoes, 3 heads of garlic, Lucy Glo apples, Spitzenburg apples, shishito peppers, bacon-gruyere wheel, and a lemon tart.

Also, the local No Kings rally was along the street at the market -- there were 3 inflatable shark costumes, 2 unicorns, at least 2 guys in tricorn hats (one was in a complete outfit, probably a RevWar re-enactor). Cars driving by kept honking in support.

I was wearing my magnolia shirt from Morning Witch, my green canvas jacket, flared jeans, and fake snakeskin shoes. I got a number of compliments.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.

This Week's Question (courtesy of

cora): What was your last project that got put into "time out" and why?

If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Hello, everyone! I had just switched laptops, as mine had rather dramatically died, and I do not have email access to the mod account on the new device.
Rest assured the matches are complete and checked. I just can’t get them out to you quite yet and my co-Mods are not available at the moment due to scheduled activities (also known as “having a life”).
This is just an update to let you all know you haven’t missed them in a mysterious inbox folder and they are on the way as soon as possible (within a few hours for sure)

Usually, if I miss the questions on Friday, I just don't bother with it or I completely forget. I saw the questions last night and just noped out for the moment because I was too tired and not able to get my brain to wake up, but why not now? I have things to say!

1. How long ago did you join LJ (or DW)?

I don't know for sure for LJ since I have long since deleted it, but I know it was around 2005 or 2006. I definitely remember having it by 2006 because I distinctly remember participating in FMA and other anime-related communities. I had known about LJ for quite a while before I joined it, though. I am pretty sure that I also had a private journal on one of the more obscure LJ clones... Ujournal, I think? Does anyone remember that?

For DW, I joined in 2013 when I was starting college and just trying to get back into fandom and stop lurking around so much. It helped get me into Welcome to Night Vale back in the day.

2. How did you find out about LJ (or DW)?

For LJ, Various anime websites that linked to it. I am thinking of LELOLA, in particular. For DW, I just followed everyone else here.

3. If someone introduced you to LJ (or DW), is s/he still on your friends list?

I learned about it because of

lelola, but we were never mutuals.

4. Have you introduced anyone to LJ (or DW)?

No, it's my own little oasis away from people I know in the real world. I haven't led any fannish people here that I know of.

5. Is your LJ (or DW) public or friends only, and why?

Public because I try to keep my personal details vague and don't think anyone I know in real life could find their way here. I have thought about changing my stance for some entries just to be safe, though.

Reviews are essential for showing prospective readers that we’re publishing awesome books that they want to buy and read. We’re looking to recruit an active group of people who post reviews of our work, and to do that we need your help! **We’re looking for Advance Readers for our most recent anthology: Scholarly Pursuits: A Queer Cozy Academia Anthology, featuring 22 brilliantly queer short stories!**

How it works: You see this post. You think, oh, I love reading! I love leaving reviews! I want to join the Duck Prints Press Reviewer Program! Then, you go and read the rules for our Reviewer Program. And, if everything there sounds like something you can do, you fill out the form, and – we’ll be in touch! Even better: this program isn’t only for Scholarly Pursuits, and isn’t only for “advance” titles. Our reviewers are encouraged to claim titles that are currently released, too, to help develop a robust collection of reviews of Duck Prints Press titles! Even if Scholarly Pursuits doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, this is your chance to join the program to read and review works from our catalogue.

Requirements:

You must be over 18 years old.
You must post reviews on Goodreads and/or Storygraph (ideally both).
You must also post the review on the Duck Prints Press webstore, if the title has a listing there (for advance titles, you’ll have to wait ’til we list them there, and Patreon stories don’t have shop listings in our webstore).
Reviews must be at least 100 words long and must engage with the actual content of the work being reviewed.
Reviews must be left within 1 month of receiving a title or you will be removed from the program. You may request an extension of the reviewing period, but you must contact us within the given time frame.

What isn’t Required:

That the reviews be positive. Reviews are for readers. We require that reviews be honest to your own experience of the work, not that they be glowing.
That you post the reviews to social media. Doing so is definitely a bonus, but you don’t have to.
That you associate yourself publicly with the review-leaving (beyond using a valid Goodreads and/or Storygraph account). As in, you don’t have to say, “I, (your name here), reviewed this book” or link your book website accounts with your existing social media presence or anything like that, nor do we request any demographic information beyond confirmation of your age.
That you purchase anything. Absolutely no purchase necessary!

What You Get:

An e-book copy (ePub and/or PDF) of the work you’re reviewing. We do not provide physical ARCs.
After you post your first review, you’ll get a coupon for 10% off a purchase from the Duck Prints Press webstore!
For every ten reviews you post, you can claim a freebie sticker from among our sticker offerings, if you want. (You’ll have to provide a snail mail address to get this, of course.)
A community of fun book-lovers to hang out with! (You can get that even without joining the ARC program, though – our Book Lover’s Discord is open to everyone.)

We’re accepting applicants for claiming Scholarly Pursuits ARCs through October 26th 2025. On the 29th, we’ll randomly select 25 of applicants to receive ARC copies of Scholarly Pursuits. Everyone else will still be entirely welcome in the program and invited to start with a different, back-catalog book or story to review.

So… those are the basics. Interested? Go read the full rules, then apply to be a Duck Prints Press ARC reader TODAY!

Season 1

Episode 2: The counselor should've just told Maddie to stop coming if she was 'giving people too much hope' instead of telling her to stop feelings her feelings. 🙄

Not very smart of Claire to text Xavier 'we need to think of what to tell people' when the police suspect Xavier and can get his text records.

Why is Simon alone able to see Maddie, did it have something to do with seeing her through the window?

Maddie's phone was wiped, Xavier says he tried to delete the text but didn't know her passcode...but the last we saw her with her phone, it had died before she could see the text. Ah, he could have charged it I guess.

Well shit, they found a chunk of Maddie's real phone in the place where Xavier hung out and possibly killed a rat in front of her. Where the hell is Maddie's body...

This show has such a thing about voyeurism. Understandable because they're ghosts but there's running jokes about watching people naked and Charlie ogling men.

I hope Mr. Anderson can be trusted.

Okay so Xavier says he spent the last period trying to unlock her phone, but it was dead right?? And now he seems not to know where her real phone is but he was the one who had it last? Unless the phone had already been switched to a fake one before he got it??

What is with that grief councellor staring at Nicole like that??

Okay Mr. A stop being so creepy...

Nomade, le meilleur endroit du monde by Anna-Livia Marchionni was excellent. It's the story of a Russian mathematician (Ksusha) and her girlfriend from 2012 to 2017.

The author uses her lovely writing style to denounce the discrimination against queer people under Poutine.

There's major f/f, minor m/m, as well as a trans female character. Ksusha sometimes questions her gender, is on the autism spectrum and has Jewish origins.

Title: Daydream

Artist:

leecetheartist

Rating: G

Fandom: original work

Content Notes: Dip pen, usual, just straight pen to paper. An exercise in doodling and daydreaming, I don't know what other people daydream about but my mind took me to the sun and the moon, to rainbows and opinicus and unicorns and dragons and dinosaurs and numbats and sailboats, just sketching away in Diamine's Buck's Fizz chameleon ink. The photo doesn't do the tangerine hue justice, and the sparkle isn't picked up either. Huh, tangerine dream...

Anyway, a fun one, and pretty much just daydreaming on paper.

1. How long ago did you join LJ (or DW)?
I joined LJ in 2004. I ported from LJ to DW in 2012, but I don't use that account, it's just an archive as far as I'm concerned. This account is from... 2019? 2020? something like that. I started being active a little later than that, though.

2. How did you find out about LJ (or DW)?
I couldn't say to be honest, it was just A Thing We Knew About.

3. If someone introduced you to LJ (or DW), is s/he still on your friends list?
No one specifically introduced me, but I made the account because my friend JD and I both wanted to work on our writing, so we each made LJs so that we could do writing exercises together and read each other's works. He and I haven't spoken since my wedding in 2013, but I have no doubt that we could reconnect easily enough and would still be friends. But, he never really got into using LJ so no, he's not on my FL here (he may have still been on my LJ list when I deleted there? but I know he didn't move).

4. Have you introduced anyone to LJ (or DW)?
Heck if I know.

5. Is your LJ (or DW) public or friends only, and why?
I think it's public? Mostly cause it's just nbd to me one way or the other. Having lists public can make it easier to find new people with similar interests, so...
