RPG Limit Break starts today!

In about two hours, to be exact!

If you're unfamiliar with it: RPG LB is a charity event where people speedrun RPG video games while raising money for NAMI. Being mentally ill and neurodivergent myself, this is a cause near and dear to my heart, so I try to support them by at least watching some of the runs. This year, I'm financially stable enough to finally be able to make a small donation myself.

The list of games being run is here: https://tracker.rpglimitbreak.com/runs/rpglb2026

I will be watching as many Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts runs as I can! Not Tactics though, since I am currently playing that myself.

I used to go to monthly NAMI meetups, and it was a help at a time when I was severely depressed, so I appreciate the good work they do.

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

Apology Workshop (part 1 of 2)

Apology Workshop
By Dialecticdreamer/Sarah Williams
Part 1 of 2
Word count (story only): 1080
[Monday, midmorning, 13 November of 2017]


:: Jules slips into a “workshop” announced on the embassy’s employee group chat, and gets several shocks in a row. Part of the Lodestar story arc within the Polychrome Heroics universe, this story was written for the May of 2026 Magpie Monday, from a prompt by [personal profile] wispfox, with my deep thanks! ::



At two minutes until ten in the morning, Jules stepped into the dining room, surprised to find extra chairs crowded around the long table, except for the far short end, which had been left free. Pitchers of water stationed along the gleaming rosewood surface like sentinels. The thing that shocked him still, however, was the sight of Loudmouth near the empty end of the table, pacing in front of an easel holding a pad of presentation paper. Her lips were moving soundlessly, but even as he watched, she rolled her eyes, spun on her heel, and seemed to begin again.

She caught sight of Jules and beckoned him in. “Are you here for the workshop? It’s encouraged, and no, you don’t have to make up the hour and a half. Did you see the note about an early lunch, starting as soon as the workshop ends? It’ll run an extra half hour to allow more casual conversation and decompression time.”

I know it's odd of me to not do the baby-talk voice to my niece A. when she's around, and I'm sticking with my usual register and cadence just the same.

Her mother didn't show, but she did call once when I was around to hear it - checking in to find out if my brother J. had fed A., and then hanging up. He'd apparently send her a text earlier, but she'd called, and after getting what she wanted, quickly hung up. I don't know her week's schedules, and I don't know what her day looked like. I can only state the events as I witnessed them.

3W4DW book meme

coffeeandink: (books!)
[personal profile] coffeeandink
Found via [personal profile] chestnut_pod.

There are so many posts I want to write, but this one is easy and also about books, so! I think everyone should do it so I can spy on your bookshelves.


  1. Take five books off your bookshelf.

    (I pulled everything from my physical TBR bookcase, in hopes that it will encourage me to read it.)

  2. Book #1 -- first sentence: "Anyone can write about a large city--large cities are open to everyone--but small cities can only be portrayed by people who love them."

    (Already ambiguities: I skipped the preface because this line is better.)

  3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty: "However, I haven't yet read V.W.'s book."

  4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred: "What amazing childishness these old people were content to live in!"

    (Unexpected challenge: do I pick the second sentence or the second complete sentence?)

  5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty: "'I know.' Verna dropped the packages. A hard, harsh sob pressed at her throat. 'I hate him.' "

    (Yes, I am treating one paragraph of dialog plus action as a single sentence for the purposes of the meme. Fight me!)

  6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book: "Eunice picked up her bag and guitar and closed the door to the storm."

  7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph:

    Anyone can write about a large city--large cities are open to everyone--but small cities can only be portrayed by people who love them. However, I haven't yet read V.W.'s book. What amazing childishness these old people were content to live in! 'I know.' Verna dropped the packages. A hard, harsh sob pressed at her throat. 'I hate him.' Eunice picked up her bag and guitar and closed the door to the storm.


    I promise it wouldn't make any more sense if I chose another option for step 5.



Book #1: Friendly City by Sofia Samatar
Book #2: The Diaries of Sylvia Townsend Warner, ed. Claire Harman
Book #3: Ready or Not by Mary Stolz
Book #4: The Room Opposite and Other Stories by F.M. Mayor
Book #5: Mojo Hand: An Orphic Tale by J.J. Phillips

SPIKE: "Group of what?"
GILES: "The gentlemen."
SPIKE: "Dunno."
GILES: "You certain?"
SPIKE: "No. We're out of Weetabix."
GILES: "We are out of Weetabix because you ate it all - again."

I recently bought (the French version of) this Tarot deck because it is extremely pretty and shiny. I know how to play Tarot -- been ages, though -- but never done any divination. Does anyone have spreads that they like?

Reading: I thought Sarah Rees Brennan's All Hail Chaos was a very satisfying followup to Long Live Evil, which is always a relief. One more to go! (The third book's title has been announced as Kill Your Darlings; I don't think a release date has been set yet?)

Someday I'll learn to properly make note of whether an ebook is a novella. Fonda Lee's Untethered Sky? A novella. Hopefully I got it on sale, given novella pricing in general, but I did really enjoy it.

Current read: To Ride a Rising Storm (Moniquill Blackgoose), just a few chapters in.

I also read The Vegetable Gardener's Bible (10th anniversary/2nd edition) up to the point where it starts going vegetable by vegetable, and then only read about the ones we're planting. (And I skipped the chapter on compost, because it's about making compost, and WOW do we not have space for that, even if we had the inclination.)

Watching: Another episode or two each of Justice in the Dark and Witch Hat Atelier.

Growing: [personal profile] scruloose got the planter assembled last weekend (IIRC) and we put a fair amount of soil in at the time (enough to keep it solidly in place, basically), but today we finally got out and finished filling it with the veggie-friendly soil and compost and actually planted the various lettuce and spinach seeds, leaving room for (we hope) a basil plant and a cabbage to go in. [personal profile] scruloose also got the frame for the planter's covers assembled and installed (the mesh cover is in place now).

We still haven't decided the ultimate fate of the disappointing Bloomerang lilac, but while we were out there [personal profile] scruloose gave it an aggressive pruning back so that it isn't taking up such a large proportion of our very limited space.

I just checked out the window, and as of 3:10 PM, the shade line is riiiiight at the edge of the planter and about to start creeping over it. (Any tomatoes we buy and the other type of cabbage will be going in pots on the other side of it, so hopefully will get at least a bit more sunlight each day.) I don't know yet what time that space starts getting direct sunlight in the morning.

ETA: By 3:40 PM, the planter is completely shaded, and the shade line is hitting the edge of the pot we had the Tiny Tim tomato in last year.
