As soon as I saw the prompt I had to do my favorite female explorers - Sydney Fox (Relic Hunter), Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), and Nell Jackson (Renegade Nell). Sydney and Lara could also represent Day 9 - The Scholar and Nell could represent Day 5 - The Outlaw.

I would sleep less and spend time with my family and friends. And I would write like a crazy person. No, I would write like a normal person. I would write 5 letters to each of my kids and grandkids. Something that will make them smile. In a year you could do a lot. This is sure a morbid question.

Feb. 11th, 2026 11:34 pmflemmingsSo the world is a shitshow. No surprise there.
Otherwise-- otherwise, I got my recycling into the bin and the bin out of its snowbank and was surprised that six weeks of recycle still didn't fill the thing up. But of course there's another bag of recycling sitting in the bunker. If pickup is as late as I expect it to be, I might try stuffing that in as well. And maybe ask SND if I can put a bag of organics in her green bin because mine is still stuck in two feet of snow. But no, actually: the green bin pickup comes early when I'm still asleep.
Weather pages are all about the cold spell being broken when temps got above freezing today. Yes well, there was a wind so it was 'high of 2C feels like -7' and yes it did, in spite of the lakes of melt at all the street corners. Some public-spirited type on Dupont was hacking at the knee high snow berms pushed up by the plows in order to clear the storm drain. Go public-spirited guy.
Reading is still the Riddlemaster trilogy, now on volume 3, which I've only read once and am still confused about. There's a great deal of travelling from place to place in that one, is partly why. Have dropped Dr. Siri early on in vol 13 because things are getting dark and I expect several long-time characters will be dead either in this one or the final volume.

[Amnesty #029] Kickoff Post
Feb. 11th, 2026 11:43 pmfanweeklymod posting in fandomweekly| AMNESTY WEEK #029 Challenges # 001-290 |
Amnesty Weeks are a chance to post any stories you've written that, for whatever reason, weren't submitted during that week's challenge. And if you can't get the entries you want in during this Amnesty, never fear! The next one will include challenges 001-290, so you'll never miss out. There's no voting for amnesty entries, and there's no limit on how many you can post, so long as each entry meets the usual community requirements (less than 1000 words, not NC-17, etc.) If, however, you manage to end up with 30 of the things you want to post, try to spread them out through the week for the sake of people's reading pages. These entries may also be crossposted and previewed anywhere you like, since there’s no voting to skew. At the end of this two-week window, a post will be made collecting all the links of the posted entries, which will also signal the end of the posting period, and a new regular challenge will go up. Entries are titled the same way as normal: [#] Story Title (Fandom) |
| Amnesty posting ends Wednesday, February 25 at 9:00PM EST • Post your submission as a new entry using the template in the profile • Tag these entries as: amnesty 029, plus the challenge's theme tag • For questions about Amnesty Week entries, please ask them here |

"You don't turn the Titanic around overnight." Thus spake the Vice-President.
Feb. 11th, 2026 09:25 pmthewaynePeople think Biden was a gaff-machine. His successor has proven that he's an imbecile, and his standby is little better.
While talking about the economy, a year into their reign, he uttered the above line at a stop in Toledo, Ohio.
Sorry, Captain Mascara. Your first year is largely coasting on the economy inherited from your predecessor. EXCEPT EVEN YOU GUYS MANAGED TO SCREW THAT UP. If your boss and you had done absolutely nothing, the economy would be ticking away quite nicely on all cylinders. Instead, you morons imposed tariffs to "bring back manufacturing" and we've lost 68,000 manufacturing jobs. That worked really well. You promised to lower grocery prices, then had to admit 'That's really hard, don't think we can do that.'
Bunch of utter morons.
But hey! One things going well: presidential graft is at an all-time high!

Daily Happiness
Feb. 11th, 2026 08:26 pmtorachan1. It's the annual insurance open enrollment period at work, and even if we want to keep the exact same plans we currently have, we are required to go in to a session with HR and confirm everything in person, which is annoying, especially as I looked at the calendar and the times they were having a session at the Gardena store were all not great with my schedule. But I saw that there was one at the West LA store today, so last night I messaged the HR guy who is handling it and asked if I could go to that one or if it's just for employees at that location, and he said it was fine, so I popped over there quickly this morning and got that done and then otherwise just worked from home. Plus I hadn't been to that store in several months, and it was nice to see my old employees.
2. I bought a couple sumo tangerines the other day at the store and had one for breakfast this morning and it was so good.
3. Suspicious Gemma! What am I plotting taking her picture like that!?

Feb. 11th, 2026 10:13 pmlandofnowhereAlien Clay, Adrian Tchaikovsky. That sure was an Adrian Tchaikovsky novel! It succesfully did what it did but I've read enough Tchaikovsky that I didn't feel like it really stood out.
Chroniques du Pays des Mères, Élisabeth Vonarburg. Still having to resist from reading ahead of book club pace, but also this past week I went and reread/skimmed everything I'd already read to help keep track of all the plot/worldbuilding details. Our protagonist has just left home for the first time and I'm curious to know what comes next.
Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: An Introvert's Year of Living Dangerously, by Jessica Pan. Saw this recommended as a self-help book, and thought I'd try it. It's very readable -- the author is the sort of shy introvert that I can easily relate to, and I appreciated that her writing voice was very confident in discussing her anxiety. This sort of self-help memoir is a bit odd in that she's trying to position herself as an everywoman, but reading between the lines it's clear that she wasn't just working to break out her shell so she could make more friends and overcome anxiety, but also so that she could write a book based on it; which seems like it has advanages both in motivation and in getting access to expert professionals to provide advice.
To Ride a Rising Storm, Moniquill Blackgoose. Sequel to To Shape a Dragon's Breath. At heart these are school stories, and even when they're not at school the focus is still on the characters and relationships, with a lot of social commentary about colonialism in an AU North America, with the political plot and the dragons and alchemy, while present, being less of the focus. I liked the new characters here, in particular the Jewish ones. (This AU, instead of "Jewish", uses a different word with Slavic etymology; I'm aware there's a related word in Russian that's an offensive slur; I wasn't bothered but some people migh be. Anyway AU Judaism does not seem to have any noticeable differences from our world.) This book ended on a rather abrupt cliffhanger, so now I can't wait for the next one.

Wednesday What I'm...
Feb. 11th, 2026 11:14 pmreeby10Reading
- I read Lost Boys by Kaname Itsuki, which is a yaoi manga based on Peter Pan. It was... fine, idk. Not as interesting as it looked.
- Ficwise, I'm still bopping between JunDylan and VegasPete and having a good time :) Currently I'm reading a JunDylan fic called Too Aware, Regrettably Aroused by Polikuro. Enjoying it a lot!
- The roommate and I finished Boys in Love. Again, very cute and sweet! Wish PoddPapang would have gotten a bit more screentime, but I really did enjoy all the kids.
- The roommate and I watched The Wicked Game. The quality of this show was pretty garbage, but it was quite fun. I really liked DaouOffroad and I want to see more of them.
- The roommate and I started watching 2gether. Very fun so far! I love some fake dating with one side definitely having feelings and the other too dumb to notice lol
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Cat for Cash. Continues to be very cute.
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. They seem to have wrapped everything up with one more episode to go so like... what's gonna happen now??
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Dare You to Death. I am so sure I know who the killer (or one of??) is and I am hype! Also, JoongDunk are so cute.
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of My Romance Scammer. Very good! I love that things are already starting to get messy lol
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Duang with You. So silly and fun! Really enjoying TeeteePor.
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the first episode of Yesterday. Interesting so far! I am digging FortPeat's vibe.
- This was the week for new music apparently! There have actually been several others, but these are the ones that have been stuck in my head:
- No Way by LYKN. Very catchy and I love the red velvet suits.
- Bad Boy No "DO" by CLO'VER. Also very catchy and cute.
- My No. 1 Duo by the Gen 5 DMD boys. Again, very catchy lol
- I wrote my Candy Hearts assignment. My first time writing this ship, and I think it came out very well!
- Wrote a little more on a Thundercloud Rainstorm fic.
- Also wrote a poem.
- I did the fourth lesson of Pimsleur's Thai. I'm starting to feel confident about being able to say a few full sentences, so that's nice. There's a couple of phrases I'm really struggling with, but hopefully they'll click eventually...
- Read some more articles about figure skating. There's a couple of books I'd like to read but I'm having a hard time finding copies, so we'll see.

It used to be
People
Put on names
And a suit of clothes,
And were known.
The unknown god
Takes up his staff,
Puts on his beard,
His signs of power,
And when so garbed can say,
"And now you know me."
What raiment is mine,
What tools,
What adornments,
That will make me known?
I know not.
Footnotes on this one are: conversations about names on bsky, the lecture I went to tonight on queer/trans experience in the American colonies, a passage quoted in Daily Life of the Egyptian Gods, and
graydon's comments about how gender is the means of signaling what sort of improv one is doing....
