“How do a five-year-old and a four-year-old manage to sneak out of the temple in a ship?” Mace muttered to himself.

“With the Force?” the padawan responded, clearly having heard Mace’s rhetorical question.

He sighed.

With great disgruntlement, Hestia submitted to the invasion of her sovereign space as I cleaned and restocked the pantry, disposing in the process of many of the shredded paper bags in which she had been pleased to nest and very unfairly folding the unshredded ones into the indispensable bag of bags, out of reach of the mighty paw of kitten. I have been so ill for so long that I have been barely cooking for myself and tired of it: nothing is superabundant, but groceries were included among the errands I spent my day running. The shelves tidily contain cornmeal and jam and tinned fish and soup. [personal profile] spatch organized his ramen. When I have finished cleaning the counters, I will be able to bake something. I just heard a train whistle blowing in the night, which always makes me think of Tom Waits' "Gun Street Girl" (1985). Someday I will eat a seaweed cheese.

Fandom: Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars - All Media Types
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker, Minor or Background Relationship(s)

Summary:

The twentieth time through what has got to be the worst, and longest, day anyone has ever experienced without dying irrevocably, Obi-Wan wakes up on the Negotiator, checks the chrono to be positive of the date and swears a bloody streak, then comms Anakin. He has tried this day doing what he thought best, what he thought Yoda would think best, then Shaak, then Mace, then every other Jedi he's ever respected.

He has been putting off trying what he believes Quinlan's approach would be, or at least what Quinlan would counsel Obi-Wan to do, but the time has come.

I'm so grateful to our pinch hitters! 5,000 words or 5 pages is a big commitment without any guarantee of a gift in return.

A number of people are writing pinch hits but didn’t sign up for the exchange, and we’d like to give them the opportunity to leave prompts for treats. Treats for pinch hitters go in the same location as treats for anyone else, in the main collection.

If you picked up a pinch hit, aren’t signed up for the exchange, and would appreciate treats, please leave your AO3 name in a comment here along with the fandoms you’re interested in. You can specify characters/relationships, fic or comics, genres, prompts, and DNWs--as much detail as you'd like. Linking to past letters is also fine.

Okay, not literally, but the comic in this May the Fourth be with You tumblr post is absolutely killing me.

I'm saving the art because I would be so, so sad if I were to lose it, but please go let the artist know if it amuses you anything like as much as it tickles me.

As we head into convention season and the subject of costumes and consent comes up again, we would like to remind everyone that large groups of costumed people usually contain at least one genuine article. We have found this holds true for witches on Halloween, werewolves at furry conventions, and superheroes at comics shows, among many other possibilities. While respecting others’ boundaries and bodily autonomy should be motivation enough, the possibility that the tail you are tugging comes attached to real fangs and claws may help encourage good behavior.

1. Yesterday I was feeling majorly stressed out by multiple things, but today I'm feeling much better.

2. One thing was this whole pee issue with Jasper. long )

3. I have also been majorly stressed about work recently. Well, it's actually been for several years, but I'm feeling it more and more, not necessarily because things are more stressful but just because of the buildup, and the whole world in general is adding so much stress as well. I'd been thinking more and more seriously about what I want to do when this project I'm working on ends. I don't think I want to go back to area manager as that is a pretty stressful position, especially now that the economy is not great and the stores are struggling. I would also like to be closer to home, so I've been thinking about stepping down to a department leader position at the store closest to me.

also long )

So just making that decision, even if it doesn't change anything right now, has made me less stressed out.

4. Molly was writhing around with that toy just moments before I took the pic.

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!

On this day in 1891

In memory of a beloved mathematician and astronomer, whose name has been dragged through the mud for these last one hundred and thirty five years...


Professor Moriarty: A Great but Forgotten Astronomer

James Moriarty (?-1891) was one of the greatest of the many astronomer-mathematicians who flourished in the nineteenth century, however among the general public his scientific accomplishments are forgotten. Mention his name and most people will think of the dark rumours about his personal life and the lurid circumstances of his death.

flamingsword: The word THERAPY in front of a Paul Signac painting (Therapy)
[personal profile] flamingsword
So in psychotherapy circles where Shadow work is a thing, one of the ways you get people to buy in on the difficult work is by identifying the “good”/adaptive/healthy parts of the self that got relegated to the unconscious and using them as, basically, bait. They are the carrot to the rest of the Shadow’s stick, the parts that people want and that keep them invested in the process. And by them I now, of course, mean us. Bc I am going to name all of the traits I had as a kid that I want back, damn it, and I’m going to try to integrate one of those traits every time I blog about Shadow work. Read more... )
