capture of a bluesky post by ChaucerDothTweet "It ys the seasoun of decoratif gourdes, O knaves"

I was going to go stand in my stone circle yesterday at 11:19, but I was listening to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour and I forgot. I was home so I could catch it. Of course, I could always listen to it online, or even just read the transcripts I get as emails, but as I may have mentioned I get extra points for listening to it on the radio. Because radio.

I'm home again today. When I checked last night, it was supposed to be 102° today. I don't think it's going to get quite that hot, and it does heat up a bit more slowly, but the nights are exceptionally warm and still, so it doesn't cool off much. I'll admit it's wearing me out.

Thankfully, the humidity has moderated slightly--I don't always trust the numbers, but I can tell by the way my front door shuts. Two days ago it was only 83 in here and I was an angry, dripping mess; yesterday it got up to 87 before I started to feel, uh, compromised. That is much more like normal.

Venus is beautiful in the morning.

Why is Rapture Day trending on Bluesky? Is the Rapture supposed to occur today? Since it's made up, I don't hold out much hope, but of course I can't rule it out.

Anyway, I don't think you're supposed to get advance warning, right? If you do, it's probably already been canceled.

Title: Too Small
Fandom: Transformers [G1}
Pairing/Characters: Optimus Prime/Mikaela Banes
Content Notes: Fluffy
Prompt: September Twenty-three - 1 & 4 - oh no, there's only one [choice]

"Big guy, that bed is not going to accommodate you, let alone me trying to share it with you," Mikaela said, eyeing the recharge berth skeptically.

"A good thing I brought padding for you then, though… you are correct. I can rest on the decking, and lay my upper body across it, though, for the benefit of its charging fields."

Optimus proceeded to do so, after removing the padding and blanket from his subspace. Those were arranged on his legs, so that Mikaela would be comfortable.

"I'll be glad to be back home," she said wistfully.

"We will be soon."

Theme: Food & Cooking, (Not Really) Character Death

Summary: A birthday cake.

Reccer's Notes: Our founder

jerakeen once lamented that we hadn't ever had a fancake recced on the comm. Now that we've had The Untamed cupcakes, it reminded me I've had this rec sitting in my drafts for literal years, so: Please enjoy this beautifully rendered cake of James T. Kirk's nipple window as seen on TV in the episode Amok Time, 1967.

I've aspired to be a tag wrangler at AO3 for a while, but each time they opened up applications, I haven't been able to find fandoms I wanted to apply for. They recently opened up applications again, and the fandoms they were looking for wranglers for included a lot of K-pop girl groups, including several that I have written about at length. So I put my application on the 19th and now I'm waiting anxiously to hear back (they said it could be 4 weeks, I put my application in 4 days ago, so I've go plenty of waiting to do). Fingers crossed!

If there's one thing I've learned from a life with chronic illnesses, it's that daily energy is not constant, no matter what we do. Some days you can do a lot, and some days just making it to the next day is a lot. Writing is like that, too.

And sometimes, even when you have the energy for writing and no other tasks that need to get done instead, you still just don't want to write. And that's OK, too. Our brains need rest the same as our bodies. Besides, when you come back to your writing, you'll be that much fresher and eager to do it.

Summary: So I spent all of yesterday and the night before making cupcakes and I wanted to try making some MDZS/Untamed character themed ones so these were very self indulgent and made me happy,lol.

Reccer's Notes: Exactly what it says on the tin: various characters from The Untamed, as symbolized by a photospread of fluffily ornate cupcakes; my own favorite is the Jiang Cheng one in fluorite swirls of violet and teal.

Title: Shopping List
Fandom: Transformers [G1]
Pairing/Characters: Starscream & Megatron
Content Notes: Decepticon humor
Prompt: September Twenty-two - 2 & 8 - grocery list

"Energon. Cabling. Chassis wiring."

"Dermaplates. Epoxy. Resin."

In unison, the pair said the next item on the list. "Optimus Prime's head on a plate."

The roar of laughter between them was frightening to the other Decepticons in the bay, but Megatron in high spirits, with Starscream in accord with him was plenty of reason to be terrified.

"This plan of yours, my traitor, just may net us that item finally," Megatron said, flicking over the rest of the pieces they had already acquired.

"Of course it will, my Lord, for it makes best advantage of their weakness."

"Indeed it does."

I hope your assignments are, by and large, well suited to you!

Sometimes you and your recipient are not a great fit. Or sometimes you're excited about a request during sign-ups, and the moment you get assigned to it, you wonder what you were thinking. So: swaps.

If you would like to swap to any other participant, please get in touch before 11:59pm EDT, Thursday 25 September - mod.modzilla@gmail.com. Most swap requests can be granted.

After that time passes, you can still swap your assignment in the following circumstances:

-The request you want is a pinch hit. You can swap to any pinch hit until the January deadline.
-Your assigned recipient has an incomplete letter. You are welcome to swap to another recipient, whether they are a pinch hit or not, until the January deadline.

I think I've responded to all the swaps requests I've received so far - please contact me again if I've missed replying to you.
