We're passed the deadline, but we're not quite at the finish line!

We do have a number of extensions, in addition to pinch hits that had later due dates, so I still expect a number of works to be added to the collection in the coming weeks. If you don't yet have a gift waiting for you, it's likely for one of these reasons, but you can feel free to email me just to double-check.

There are 17 post-deadline pinch hits available. These are due 25 June at 22:59 US Eastern time, one day before our planned reveals date. However, it's possible I'll have to delay the collection opening to make sure all participants are covered, so if you know you can take one of these pinch hits but will need longer than the 25th, please let me know, and we can discuss.

If you can claim one of these, please comment with your AO3 name and the number of the pinch hit you want. All comments are screened.

If you aren't signed up but are only pinch hitting, please consider our treats for pinch hitters post!

If you are signed up and have an extension, you may ask to exchange your assignment for an open pinch hit. If you are given that pinch hit and fulfill it, this won't count as a default. Please tell me in your comment requesting a pinch hit if you are asking to swap.

I will be unavoidably away from my keyboard for large portions of this weekend, so it may take me a little time to update this post with claims.

Northern Cardinal parents and baby

We have a pair of Northern Cardinals nesting in our yard, and today I saw dad with a fledgling!

crested red songbird and small tan fledgling sit on the ground eating seeds

The fledgling was begging for food by fluttering its wings, a common signal in many baby birds. Dad was attentively finding seeds and stuffing them in Junior's mouth. The baby already has a little bit of a crest and some red on the wings, but it's too early to tell the sex. Mom wasn't with them but I saw her on the feeder later in the day.

Ah, a sad day. He was a marvelous actor and did a lot of work. Aside from the TV series Buffy, he appeared in the Apple TV series Ted Lasso, and from the AP article: "...Other notable roles included playing Geoffrey Howe, the deputy to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, played by Meryl Streep, in the Oscar-winning “The Iron Lady.”

Head portrayed a prime minister himself in the sketch comedy show “Little Britain,” as well as King Uther Pendragon, the father of Prince Arthur, in the “Merlin” TV series. He also appeared in “Motherland,” Manchild,” and “Silent Witness,” along with acting in many plays, musicals, and recording music as a singer.


Head passed away 'due to complications from pneumonia'. He will be missed.

AI is not coming for my job

[personal profile] elf
A friend asked me if I worked in an office (yes) and warned me that AI is probably coming from my job.

I told him no, I am very not worried:
1) I have a union, and
2) My company works with a lot of confidential personal info that needs careful handling, and
3) AI cannot do my job.

AI cannot even attempt to do my job.

I do document formatting & processing, and while I'm sure there are AI advocates who think they can have AI do that, it's because they've never done those.

Nostalgic pop music post....

I've been thinking for some time about pop songs featuring places in London - in the title, which lets out 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion' poncing around various parts to be admired, or 'Lola' down in Old Soho - and having a bit of a struggle (maybe one would do better with Ye Olde Music Hall numbers?) but anyway, came up with these:

This one is perhaps pushing it a bit, as it was actually spoofing 'Rock Island Line', a cover of which was a UK mega-hit for Lonnie Donegan:

Take it away Jim Dale, on the Piccadilly Line!


and to continue the London Underground motif, suburban pastoral from the New Vaudeville Band:


further Tube mentions, this time more urban pastoral, with the Kinks:

  • 1½ cups rice
  • ½ cup barley
  • ⅛ cup candied lotus seeds
  • ⅛ cup almonds
  • ⅛ cup seedless raisins
  • ⅛ cup fresh peanuts
  • ⅛ cup large candied cherries
  • 8 strips of citron sliced very thin
  • 1½ cups sugar

Cook rice and barley together in about one quart of water.

Take a very large deep bowl or mold that has plenty of surface; arrange the eight precious fruits and nuts in some kind of pretty design at the bottom of the bowl. Now pour the rice and barley, which have been drained, into the bowl, and steam for at least an hour, until well cooked.

Turn out with design on top and serve with sauce.

Time to check in with Thursday Recs!


Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!

Or have you tried something that's been recced here? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!

Things:

--I have become obsessed with the Cinnamon Toast Crunch ad campaign involving cereal-on-cereal murder and cannibalism. Whatever the fuck they were thinking when they created this, the execution is magnificent.

--Based on a recent conversation with a friend, I'm deeply relieved not to be the only person I know to have believed for a brief period of time that Taskmaster spoiler for last week )

--Some of you may know my hatred of the word 'journey' in its fashionably new metaphorical sense, as in 'your mental health journey' or 'your fitness journey,' but this week in a zoom meeting I was subjected to the sentence 'I'm hoping you can tell me a bit about where you as a company are in your AI journey' and I had to turn my video off immediately lest my face give me away. Thankfully the question was not directed at me and our database manager has much more visible tolerance for bullshit even if he secretly has a negative amount of actual tolerance for bullshit.

--I have taken tomorrow off just to have a day off because I am burnt out AF. I intend to go to the waffle place and then to the art museum. I intend to lie in the shade and listen to the cereal podcast and maybe knit. So there.

some good things
