I'll likely not have time to post tomorrow morning, so here it is a few hours in advance.

Just finished: Always On by Helena Trooperman. This was quite fun, and in particular I liked how much attention she gives to the social and economic repercussions of the invention of new technology. What starts with a phone ultimately becomes, potentially, an existential threat to fossil fuel interests, and to everyone they directly and indirectly employ, and there are complications like fewer and less well-paying jobs in a green energy future. It also ends on a cliffhanger so...there's that. 

Currently reading: The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. It's Nebula season so watch me mainline as many books as possible in a month. This one's up first though because I was meaning to read it anyway. It begins with the journal of a Lutheran pastor being found inside a wall, and takes us back to 1912, when said pastor encountered a Blackfeet man named Good Stab who wants to do a confession. Also he's a vampire. This is slow, bloody dread of the sort Jones is famous for and it has quite a lot of Cormac McCarthy in it, with the Montana setting and the mass murders. Really good so far; it's going to be a tough one to top except I really did love Katabasis.

musesfool: Jason Toddler shows off his new costume to Dick (everybody starts somewhere)
[personal profile] musesfool
I was going to say this week has been endless and somehow it's still only Tuesday! but that's especially hilarious because I logged off work yesterday at 3 pm to go back to bed, and I'm taking off Thursday and Friday (and Monday), so really I only have tomorrow left of the work week. But subjectively it has felt endless. I do feel better though - still congested and coughing like mad, but no more fever. So you know, marginally better. *wry*

Anyway, I've got a recs update for you:

[personal profile] unfitforsociety has been updated for March 2026 with 13 story recs and 2 vid recs in 5 fandoms:

Summary: During Ehrenfest’s winter purge, Sylvester is resolved to face the ugly consequences of his decision, and in the process, he finds himself facing ugly truths about his brother’s childhood and his mother’s crimes. Seeing how much had escaped his notice leaves him shaken, but Karstedt is there to support him and remind him of his own better qualities.

Being a cat for three weeks has repercussions, it turns out.

Jason snacks his way through one of them. Damian reads books. Both of them drink a lot of tea. It's nice, mostly, which Jason finds highly suspicious.
OH MY HEART!!!!

Heated Rivalry

By Halves by [archiveofourown.org profile] tmp93
Yuna and David meet Ilya Rozanov at the hospital after Shane's injury. Lovely AU from Yuna's POV.

Closer to the heart by [archiveofourown.org profile] norgbelulah
She says, almost without thought, "He can stay with us, if he wants. While you're gone."

Yuna Hollander does want to open her heart to her son's boyfriend, even if he is Ilya Rozanov. The first step is opening her home.
<333 #i'm not crying it's just raining on my face

far across the deep blue ocean by [archiveofourown.org profile] scarlettroses
4 times ilya rozanov found something like family in america + 1 time he built himself one in Canada. 😍😍😍😍😍

Geiger Counter by [archiveofourown.org profile] littlesystems
Kip Grady meets Ilya Rozanov at a gay bar while watching the Admirals game. Somehow, that's not even the strangest part of his evening. I enjoyed this!

Influential by [archiveofourown.org profile] 409_conflict
The problem is, no one knows how to market Ilya Rozanov's (in his own words) sexy Euro masculinity to an audience of white straight men.

He needs the best. And if it happens to be his secret lover's mother who despises his very existence, so be it.
The Ilya-Yuna text-fic I never knew I needed! <333

the lies are all behind you now by [archiveofourown.org profile] throughadoor
In a hotel room their first year playing together for Ottawa, Shane and Ilya talk about gay rookies and bad threesomes and how to not sound like you're trying to hook up with Shane's mom. This is very sweet and also hilarious at points. <3

Lily and Jane's Reddit Adventures by [archiveofourown.org profile] SpoonDeficiency
Ilya and Shane get Reddit's advice under the aliases Lily and Jane. Things spiral from there... This series is so much fun!

Lovers, or, English is a damn funny language by [archiveofourown.org profile] Basingstoke
Ilya asked Shane's father while Shane and his mother were talking outside: "Is boyfriends correct? Lovers is incorrect, but I am not sure what is correct."

"Well," Mr. Hollander said. "'Lovers' is usually used for, hm, a mistress or an affair. Something kind of sordid. Though--you would say Romeo and Juliet is a play about two lovers," he said. He paused his knife on the chopping board. "Somehow that's right and using it for real people isn't right. English is a damn funny language, Ilya."

"Yes," Ilya said from the bottom of his heart.
I'm sure everyone has already read this, but if you haven't you really should! It's long and lovely with a fantastic Ilya POV.

sunshine and shovel talk by [archiveofourown.org profile] femmenerd
A little "what if?" scenario for S01E05 "I'll Believe in Anything" in which Svetlana actually says something to Ilya about him being a lovesick weirdo, and he convinces her to go with him to All-Star weekend–against her better judgement–because he thinks Shane will bring Rose. *happy sigh* Svetlana is the best, no lie.

To only ever know the cold by [archiveofourown.org profile] IbecomewhatIbelieve
Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise.

She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night.
This is a lovely AU where they get together a little earlier than in canon.

Hi,

welcome to the weekly Star Wars chat post. Standard rules: anything SW goes, self-recs are welcome, and any other recs as well of course.

~ ~ ~

You know, I only just realized that the no-topic SW chat posts have actually slowly mutated into "random thought topic" through these post-scripts. Oops? Is that bad? I remember someone saying (way, way back) that they don't feel comfortable talking about their own stuff if there's a topic. But I just always feel like a single-sentence post, "here ya go, do your thing, I'm off" must be so boring? I feel better when I'm adding something at least vaguely readable.

So, you know what, just treat the second half of these posts as if it was one of the comments. No-topic chat, with a bonus random Crow ramble.

Recent Manga Acquistions, March 2026

My March 2026 Tsundoku Stack remains untouched. However, the last five manga volumes that I recently acquired jumped to the front of the line. They are the category of tsundoku ja nai – in that they aren’t really tsundoku as they never dwell in the pile of books that continually escape my attention. They are in sort of a little bubble of their own., which gets my near term attention.

In the Bubble, Read and Unread )

ABOUT TSUNDOKU
My tsundoku tag collects my blog posts about my tsundoku collection. The first post was in May 2014. However the tag really kicked off starting in October 2020. I recommend these tsundoku articles: Tsundoku: The Joy of Unread Books by John M. Jennings and Understanding ‘Tsundoku’: The Joy of Buying Books Without Reading Them at Alterpret.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 25 years this TDOV. Trans health care saves lives!

Thank you, universe, for the chance to become middle-aged and wear goofy hockey jerseys. Help me make it so that the ones who come after me have the same chance, and better.

Six strange galaxies found hiding in Hubble’s vast archive

Today’s Image of the Day from the European Space Agency shows six strange galaxies that look nothing like the calm, orderly spirals many people picture when they hear the word “galaxy.”

Bent arcs of light, smeared shapes, broken rings, and objects that resist easy labels all appear in one frame. Each one is real. Each one was hiding in plain sight.



Whenever you feel disappointed that your craft project didn't come out perfect, remember this -- even the universe doesn't make everything perfect, and imperfect things can still be beautiful.

Supreme Court rules against Colorado's conversion therapy ban on First Amendment grounds

"Colorado's law addressing conversion therapy does not just ban physical interventions. In cases like this, it censors speech based on viewpoint," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority. "Colorado may regard its policy as essential to public health and safety. Certainly, censorious governments throughout history have believed the same. But the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country."


Here's the thing about politics: every weapon in your hand is also a weapon in your enemy's hand.

We should immediately use this to attack every gag rule against talking about homosexuality and where to get a safe abortion and every other things the despots want to muzzle, on the grounds of free speech. All of them at once, forcing the despots to play whack-a-mole while contradicting what they just argued above. Then keep all the things they say, and match them up, showing how it's not about free speech but that they will say anything to get what they want. Shine a light on it. Cockroaches hate light.
