awesomeersIt'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!

Amusing myself.

Not too much editing, largely on account of global events and flashbacks to 2020 and a little bit on anticipation for the new episode. Hopefully more soon would be nice.
Also, since tagging on Tumblr is the new version of fandom icons, I decided on a Pluribus tag: we'll eat you up we love you so.

US Flight routes
Jan. 8th, 2026 11:27 pmmaevedarcy in little_detailsHello, everyone!
So, I'm writing a fic where a plane disappears in the US. As in, it drops from all radars for a few minutes and it's presumed down for a few hours. I need to know any plausible flight routes within the US from Boston where this could happen. Any stretches of land where a pilot could make an emergency landing and the plane still be presumed down for like an hour or three is good for me.

Finally!
Jan. 8th, 2026 11:42 pmdavidgillonStorm Goretti has finally brought us some snow. Not much, just a light covering, but it really was getting ridiculous, it seemed like everywhere else in the country had snow, while we were surrounded by it, but resolutely dry.
Not any more. Let's see what the morning brings.

Jan. 8th, 2026 11:13 amsdwolfpupHappy More Joy Day 2026!
Welcome to the 19th More Joy Day!
The goal for today is to seek out and give a little joy to others, in the hopes that it will expand outward into the world. As the TWOP recapper Jacob said:
...you continue to stand, and you continue to remember that you’re not alone, and with reverence for this fact, you can’t help but add to joy. Which is your entire job, from the day you’re born until the day you die: more joy.
This is our job more than ever. We can build a better world than this, and it starts with small acts of community and caring for each other.
Please post your little bits of joy, whether performed online or in physical space, on Tumblr (tagged with some version of More Joy Day), in the comments of this post, and/or on Bluesky or wherever you are, so that we can all enjoy them. :) I'll try to reblog when I see them pop up in the tags here!
Need more info or ideas? Read all about it here! The ultimate goal is to do just one joy-filled thing for someone(s) today; either something small, like paying someone an unexpected compliment or leaving a short comment on a fanwork; or something big, like writing a fic or making a vid or buying groceries for someone. The smallest amount of joy helps, and is a kindness that wasn't there when you started. Online OR offline counts! Whatever you can manage is wonderful - there is no joy-shaming on More Joy Day! Happy More Joy Day to you all!
Snowflake Challenge 4: an excuse for a linkpost
Jan. 8th, 2026 04:18 pmdolorosa_12snowflake_challenge prompt 4 asks the following: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page
Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!
Given that the last non-work website that I looked at was a somewhat grim political podcast, I'm going to reinterpret this as an opportunity to link a weird and wonderful piece of longform journalism that I've had bookmarked for a while: The snail farm don: is this the most brazen tax avoidance scheme of all time?
The title doesn't do it justice, and neither does my summary: a septugenarian who made his money in his family's shoe-selling business empire in the north of England, and has decades-long associations with the mafia in Naples (including hiding mafia members on the run in his properties in the UK) has for the past several years invested most of his time and energy in exploiting an elaborate UK tax loophole by which — if you claim to be running a snail farm on your property (including in residential blocks of flats or office buildings) — you pay no tax. In his telling, he's doing this purely to pass the time and keep his mind active in his later years. It's a wild ride.
This kind of written long-form journalism, essay or interview — with left-field subject matter and larger-than-life personalities — is my absolutely favourite type of nonfiction.
