I got Cozy Sudoku on Steam and I'm definitely enjoying it better than the website I use for Sudoku. (A good portion of the time on the website, the difficulty levels don't feel like they actually match.)

I got my wisdom teeth taken out on Friday and I've been feeling bleh since. I spent a good portion of time yesterday sleeping (which is good for healing, but I wanted to actually do things).

Current Mood: blah

Bahrain has said that one person was killed by shrapnel from an intercepted missile. The death of a foreign worker at Salman Industrial City, working on a boat there, marks the kingdom’s first reported fatality in the war.

Bahrain, home to the US navy’s 5th fleet, said it intercepted 61 missiles and 34 attack drones launched against it. It said some shrapnel had gotten through, striking buildings and the naval base.

US-Israel war on Iran – live updates

Israel closed all crossings into Gaza indefinitely when it attacked Iran, imposing a siege that has already pushed up food prices and threatens to plunge 2 million people into a new hunger crisis.

After more than two years of war, and with Israeli forces in control of about 60% of the territory, almost all of Gaza’s food must be brought in.

Ruling retains boundaries for 2026 elections despite state court ruling it was unfair to Black and Hispanic residents

The supreme court on Monday sided with Republicans in ruling that the boundaries of the only GOP-held congressional district in New York City do not need to be redrawn for the 2026 elections, despite a court ruling that the district is unfair to Black and Hispanic residents.

Over the dissent of the court’s three liberal justices, the conservative majority halted the state court ruling that had ordered New York’s redistricting commission to redraw the district held by Nicole Malliotakis that covers Staten Island and a small piece of Brooklyn.

In 2018, Wakanomori and I went for the first time to Colombia. We went just as an election was happening. We were in Bogotá, and we ended up walking through rallies for both candidates--the progressive ex-guerrilla and the conservative son of privilege. We ended up with some of the flyers for the progressive guy--they were bright and optimistic, and I made them into postcards:

Política Libre de Corrupción

Educación Pública

Un País Diverso

We didn't know much about Colombian politics at the time, but we hoped he'd win:

But he lost. The conservative candidate, Iván Duque, won.

But then in 2022, the progressive ex-guerrilla won. And that's Gustavo Petro, who's in office now.

( My microfiction for today was partially inspired by the memory of picking up those flyers. )

Current Music: Grupo Bahia: Vamo' a levanta'

it's been too long :(

I really don't know why I bother uploading fic anymore.

I managed to get a 10k fic loaded between all of AO3's ups and downs. In the not quite 24 hours since, WITH MORE OUTAGES, I've had two comments which were BOTH ART SPAM.

Like. Fuck you spammers. Comments are the icing on the cake, but I swear to fuck getting one of you makes me want to never ever post fic again. Especially when that is the BULK OF THE COMMENTS I GET NOW.

ysilme here: 566 works for the new drawer draft. I hadn't been able to properly focus on creative writing for several months due to circumstances outside my control, surviving on alibi sentences and random snippets. While it's been interesting to see where my writing mind went with the daily randomness it was and still is a bit of a struggle to get back into continous work at one project at a time. The first step had been alibi sentence but for the same WIP every day, followed by small snippets of the same. As a next step I've tackled revamping a larger drawer fic I wasn't happy with any longer and also wanted to convey into an English version, and am now completely rewriting it as a draft while getting rid of an embarrassing amount of bad plotting, characterisation and writing. *lol*

sylvanwitch here: 508 words on "Dixon and the Detective" for me today.

You may already know this, but I found it worked today, when maybe not all of the site's down even though I still get the error message. Recently when the site was fully down, it didn't work. Worth a try, from time to time, especially if you've saved rec list links or are using a rec list site other than AO3. 😉

Paste this into your browser: https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/000000/fic.epub

And put the fic number in instead of the zeroes.

That's it! I read on kindle so epub works for me. If you want an html or pdf of the fic, just change that bit - it'll probably work.

ETA: also, time to visit the Audiofic Archive and enjoy your favourite fics as podfic!

Because I have sensitive teeth (or am a big wuss) my kindly dentist anesthetizes me before the scaling. This leaves my mouth rather numb for quite some time afterward.

This latest time, I noticed that I could still say some words before the anesthetic much wore off even if others remained a challenge. For instance, we don't seem to need our lips at all to say, succulent delicacy; I surmised that may be an easy utterance in ventriloquism too.

Lips remain helpful for drinking such that all the liquid goes down the inside of my neck rather than some trickling down the outside.

Melania Trump became the first spouse of a sitting world leader to preside over the UN security council on Monday, calling on member states to protect children’s access to education days after Iranian state media reported that an airstrike killed at least 165 people at a girls’ school in southern Iran.

The meeting, titled Children, Technology and Education in Conflict, had been scheduled before the US and Israel launched strikes against Iran on Saturday.

Matt Targett’s first-half double helped Middlesbrough return to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Birmingham and further boost their hopes of promotion to the Premier League.

Third-place Millwall’s triumph against Preston at the weekend cut the gap to just the one point coming into the match, but Kim Hellberg’s side responded to restore their four-point advantage in second place. Birmingham lost just their second league game at St Andrew’s since May 2024, meaning their chances of finishing in the playoffs have slipped further away. They remain eight points off the top six.

The war in the Middle East triggered by the joint US and Israeli attack on Iran expanded dramatically on Monday, with casualties and destruction reported across at least nine countries, including major strikes on Tehran.

Since the US and Israel first struck Iran with bombing and missile attacks over the weekend, the speed at which this war has exploded into a regional conflict is ‘dizzying’, says the Guardian’s Oliver Holmes. Tehran swiftly retaliated to the attacks, which killed the country’s supreme leader, by launching strikes across the Middle East.

David Harbour stars in a deliciously dark dating app drama that is close to the bone after his real-life Lily Allen fallout. But his performance along with Jason Bateman and Linda Cardellini’s make for a wonderfully bingeable show

Never trust a man who rides a recumbent bicycle. That seems to be the first lesson provided by DTF St Louis, a new seven-part dark comedy starring Jason Bateman, David Harbour and Linda Cardellini, and who – honestly – could fail to get behind such a message?

Bateman plays Clark Forrest, local weatherman, microcelebrity and recumbent bicycler round his little patch of St Louis, Missouri. He becomes fast friends with a sign language interpreter, Floyd (Harbour), when they are sent to report on a violent storm together and Floyd saves him from being decapitated by a flying stop sign. Floyd is a goodhearted soul with a mutinous stepson, a hot wife and Peyronie’s disease. That’s when the penis acquires an abnormal curvature that can make penetration difficult, due to a connective tissue problem that is often associated with middle age.

Channel 4’s edgy new ‘social experiment’ cuffs strangers together in a bid to heal a divided Britain. Instead, what emerges is nasty, crass and completely abysmal

After his brilliantly machiavellian performance on The Celebrity Traitors, Jonathan Ross was destined to pop up on our screens again soon. Cue his big post-Traitors gig, hosting Channel 4’s new six-part “social experiment”. It is, explains Ross, a show about whether “a divided Britain [can] settle its differences”, by handcuffing two strangers from different walks of life together for 24 hours a day (including in the shower – ooh-er!) and seeing who can last the longest for a shot at a £100,000 prize. Really, though, it’s a show that manipulates those differences for views – a cheap throwback to Wife Swap at best and The Jeremy Kyle Show at worst.

Each pair has clearly been selected for maximum mutual discomfort.
