"your body hears everything your mind says" (naomi judd)
Feb. 22nd, 2026 12:58 pmMaybe I could make a handwritten Chinese zine that I record myself reading aloud to a bunch of seeds.
This is gonna be my day. Or I'll take a nap. Still hard to say which way it will go.
Also I can't believe I haven't posted any pictures of Daphne in a year. I just spent an hour looking at photos, so I can't make up for it now short of sharing my entire library. But here's a particularly funny sequence from last spring, when her friends came to the back door looking for her.
( Daphne and friends )
Right now everything is covered in snow and ice, except the back patio, so that's nice. I still go out and sit in my rocking chair and look out over where the gardens will be in the spring, and admire the sparkly beauty of a frozen river.
Luckily the dogs love the frozen river, so now the play groups look more like this.

"cause and effect, chain of events, all of the chaos makes perfect sense" (joe diffy)
Feb. 22nd, 2026 12:19 amSurely it can't be that hard to write a few sentences about the day, right? Especially since all evidence suggests once I start I will continue. It's like speaking practice: I want to do it, and I'll definitely start tomorrow, when I will have more energy, be more awake, be smarter and more capable, and therefore do it better or at least give it the effort it deserves.

Do you want to guess whether I've done anything for Record Producing Month? The odds are in your favor if you base your guess on historical trends. Also,
beagoldfish ends this week, but I really felt like last week's Lego Reunion Dinner was my finale. What to do.
Maybe I could make a handwritten Chinese zine that I record myself reading aloud to a bunch of seeds. (This is a joke based on my strategies for motivating myself to do stuff I put off, in case that ended up being more obscure than I intended.)
Also, comments on the Plums xkcd are filled with great poetry.

Challenge 507: Amnesty
Feb. 21st, 2026 03:35 pmOur new challenge is our eighty-fourth:
During amnesty challenges, you can post works for any of the challenges we've had to date: ( Complete list of prompts )
See the Community Report for a sortable list of prompts.
Both reports have a random "Any Challenge" button, and the Creator Report also has a random "Unfilled Challenge" button.
Of course, you're always welcome to post multiple works to any challenge if you finish them before the challenge closes, but that isn't always possible. So dust off those unfinished works and half-formed ideas -- now is the time!
In amnesty rounds, include the challenge you are posting for in the subject line of your post (eg, Blanket: Heated Rivalry: Fanart: If on a winter's night).
Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Sunday, 1 March. No sign-up required.
Mods will tag your work for fandom. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.
All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.
You can view stats for
fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details. Please let us know if you have any trouble accessing the reports.
Also, keep an eye out for the next
ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the comm yet, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Remember, posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)
