Not sure if this quite qualifies here, but people are fans of animals, so why not!

why-animals-do-the-thing had a colleague reach out and ask if they could help get some feedback on setting up a zoo tour for people with low vision. Honestly, I read the suggestions, and they sound pretty great, IMO.

You can check out the outlined plan over here. If you don't have a Tumblr account of your own, I'd be happy to pass on any feedback on your behalf.

to care this way

by Threa Almontaser

is turning me off. so i take a walk.
plums fall from trees and protest
& i can’t see the colour green
anymore & just last night yo
just last night god went SPLAT
on my window like a fluttery lick
spittle & told me all love starts
in a garden. what am i supposed to do
with that? another friend goes. gone
enough. almost never here. those facetimes
inside me out all year, wishing I could see you
in the hospital. life breaks who doesn’t cry
eventually. one more grave in the middle
of all that green. prayers tangle in my pockets
like earphone wire. i think about the best way
to maneuver my mask & eat, then give up.
i think about the best way to sneak
into the hospital. what about the body
& everything it can’t keep? i’m so over
the garden. i stood at its knee, dressed in
leaves, begging for fruit. learned the only
predator in paradise is me. no eating or being eaten.
bony limbs, broken lungs & growing more
unknown.

I realized there was nowhere on Dreamwidth for SVU fans who love EO/Bensler (the Elliot/Olivia ship), so I created

bensler. I've kickstarted it with a post or two of my own, but I'd love other EO fans to join and post as well!

Tagged for adult content because the community is marked 18+ in order to be open to explicit fic and art.

A narrow street with plastered houses leading down to an archway with Gen Prompt Bingo Round 28 and the url genprompt_bingo.dreamwidth.org superimposed over it.

genprompt_bingo is a low commitment multi-fandom, multi-media bingo challenge.

Its aim is to provide bingo cards of gen-style prompts to be used as inspiration in creating fic, images, meta, fanmixes, vids or any other kind of fannish activities. Although the prompts themselves are "Gen" (i.e., no prompts are specifically about romance or sex) fills may be of any genre, style or rating.

Prompt lists are renewed at the start of December and April. New cards can be claimed then even if a previous card has not been completed.

Round 28 is open

poetry

Foresee how dried, yellowed,

with neglect, think

of the hands that made them,

not with love, with certainty,

the leather smooth decades later,

the pages warm as wood,

the thought reaching a seed

that fell from a bird’s flight,

a hoof tucking it in folds of loam,

wispy roots sending it deeper

into the dark, the thought

like a hair in your throat.

Earth knows no such ambivalence,

good to itself, mending,

dampening sends you to self-

ignited forests, hordes fleeing,

blazes in what was there before

mouths came to call them eyes,

fear and fire, how close

the thought wanders into flood

and drought and motions

attributed to a fist-sized heart.

All those rocked, senses quaked,

those eyes flooding and welling

add up to a stone rolling

down a mountainside

into salt water, the sum the size

of a cloud or glacier thawed.

Shut the book, the thought

writes itself like yeast;

seam the sky, a smoky tail,

fastened by the measure of limitation.

And you the world’s watcher,

moments at the mirror

allowed as achievement,

the wisp of wheat (highlights)

in the coffee of her hair,

the two of you hand in hand

across a window display,

a clip from that day in Eden

the short footage of days recalled—

all illuding fingers,

hidden under the sheet’s grain.

Please join us for the weekly TS chat on Saturday, April 12th, at 7 pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)/19:00 UTC. That could be as early as 12 pm if you’re on the west coast of North America, or 3 pm if you’re on the east coast, or 8 pm in the UK, or early Sunday morning in Australia or New Zealand.

Remember that those of us in North America sprang forward on Sunday March 9^th, which means that chat now starts an hour later. Same will be true for those springing forward later in the month. And for those in the Southern Hemisphere that are falling back, chat will be an hour earlier. Confusing? You bet! But remember that we are ALWAYS at 7 pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)/19:00 Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). You can check when that is where you are here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

We’re in the usual place: http://us25.chatzy.com/81935648447483. There’s nothing to download or install, just choose a name and a color and click on “join chat.”

The topic this week: we know that Jim sees the blue jungle when he is having spiritual experiences related to his senses. But what does Blair see? Does he see the same? Or his his experience different? Links to fics encouraged!

See you there!

moodthemeinayear, a community dedicated to creating custom mood themes, is starting its next round of the Minimum and Medium Mood Tracks tonight. If you're interested in following along and organizing enough images to min-max a custom mood theme on the Minimum Track, or branching out a little farther on the Medium Track, now is a great time to start! And feel free to join in on the Maximum Track simultaneously, if you want to really diversify your mood theme.

Meanwhile, in NSFW news,

summerofthe69 has opened up theme suggestions for the 2025 round. Summer of the 69 is a festival dedicated to works featuring the sexual position, open to all fandoms and to original creations. It runs from June 9th through September 6th, to encompass "6/9" in both common date formats: Month first and day first. Themes are posted once a week and run for two weeks each, with the exception of the final two, which are cut short by the date. Theme voting will open on May 1st and run through May 15th, to give potential participants time to plan for the fest.

Current Mood: excited
