that poem Sonya wrote about Ny in 2022
Mar. 4th, 2026 11:33 pmride_4everMost of you -- or perhaps all of you -- will understand why I am currently fixated on the last three lines of the Sonya Taaffe poem "The House Snakes: For Nyani Martin":
...our earth will always shake,
our restless scales unfurling to enfold
your arms of wine-dark honey as you come home.
The full poem appears in issue 44 of "Uncanny: A Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy".

Post and Jam: We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time) by Trooper [1977]
Mar. 4th, 2026 07:36 pmdelphiFandom 50 #1
I'm trying another March to March round of Fandom 50 (the challenge where you try to make fifty themed posts in a year), and this time around I thought I'd focus on Canadian music. As a bit of extra fun for myself, I'm going to try to find one song I love per year from the past fifty years—and as it happens, 1977 gave us one of my all-time faves.

Word: Viridescent
Mar. 4th, 2026 04:02 pmstonepicnicking_okapiI got this one from prettygoodword. The low-key theme for March is 'shades of green.'
viridescent [vir-i-des-uhnt]
adjective
slightly green; greenish
origin
Viridescent was first used in the 1800s, by botanists who used Latin to name plants.

Views & News
Mar. 3rd, 2026 09:39 pmstonepicnicking_okapi1. On Saturday, I went to my meditation friend's funeral. It was a very nice service. I wore the same blouse I bought to wear to the wedding with my Air Force client.
2. Yesterday, it snowed and I got stuck AGAIN! This time I was trying to drive up an icy driveway after dark. The wheels were spinning and I thought I was going to slide back directly into the tree. I was so flustered. I put the emergency brake on and ran back to the house (the wrong house!). Eventually, the daughter-in-law of my client drove my car up the hill. Life is determined to teach me how to drive in this weather.
3. March is National Craft Month. On Sunday, I worked with Minisculus to finish a gumball pinball machine from a kit.

My icon says "sad" but this is way beyond that. I am utterly shocked and crushed.minoanmiss and I met once at a con and I hoped to meet up again...and now never will. We communicated regularly on DW and often sent each other postal mail...and now never will again.
May her memory be a blessing...and an inspiration.

March: THEME: Star Wars comic mini-series
Mar. 3rd, 2026 07:21 pmcolls posting in swbookclubThis is a themed month. The idea is to read any Star Wars book you'd like that can be applied to the theme. The material can be anything - adult, YA, comics, even story-centric games. <---(not applicable this month)
1. What are you planning to read?
COMING UP NEXT
April: Brotherhood by Mike Chen

Mar. 3rd, 2026 06:12 pmsenmutminoanmiss -- I'm still processing.May I suggest we remember her life as a artist, a creative force to be reckoned with, and one of the main reasons I personally re-evaluated my racism because of SO MANY insightful thoughts.
Thursday ✎ Outdoors [DW]
Mar. 5th, 2026 01:28 amToday's theme is (the great) outdoors. Nature. The environment. Wildlife. Anything from taking one step outside to roughing it in the middle of nowhere. Personally, I wouldn't suggest outer space or deep sea adventures... unless your characters can handle it, of course.
Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get things started...
+ The Librarian(s) (TV movies and series), any (+/ any), in (or inside) a tree
+ any legal or medical TV fandom, any (+/ any), their first taste of fresh air (and sunlight?) in hours
+ author's choice, any (+/ any), a surprise wildlife sighting
We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.
