Blasting outward from variable star KX Andromedae,
Nora Samaran made a new post! On Conflict and Community Fabric. When we value community, we work through conflicts with them not because the individual relationship is important to us, but because the whole community is important to us.
I'm not sure I had read her prior post from 2021, Coercive Persuasion and the Alignment of the Everyday. In it she mentions "How We Show Up" by Mia Birdsong, which I got from the library. I loved the book, about all the different ways we can weave connections with each other rather than focusing on isolated little nuclear families. And it turns out Mia Birdsong lives right here in Oakland! My review.
She also linked to Be careful with each other by Rushdia Mehreen and David Gray-Donald. "How activist groups can build trust, care, and sustainability in a world of capitalism and oppression."
I loved her article The Opposite of Rape Culture is Nurturance Culture and I can't believe that was back in 2016. Nine years ago! Anyway, it's great to keep someone's feed on the list even if it seems like they'll never post again, because sometimes they do!
In healthy human community, the kind that so many people say they want, and the kind study after study suggests people living in Western countries feel is missing in their lives, human beings are often in community with people with whom we aren’t individually or personally close, but who nonetheless form part of the larger circle of human bonds that forms the anchor and soilbed of our belonging.

Collective care refers to seeing members’ well-being – particularly their emotional health – as a shared responsibility of the group rather than the lone task of an individual. It means that a group commits to addressing interlocking oppressions and reasons for deteriorating well-being within the group while also combatting oppression in society at large.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 6, 2025 is:
sensibility • \sen-suh-BIL-uh-tee\ • noun
Sensibility is a formal word often used in its plural form to refer someone’s personal or cultural approach to what they encounter, as in “the speaker made sure to tailor his speech to the sensibilities of his audience.” Sensibility can also be used for the kind of feelings a person tends to have in general, as well as for the ability to feel and understand emotions.
// Many older cartoons feel out of line with modern sensibilities.
// She brought an artistic sensibility to every facet of her life, not just her celebrated painting.
Examples:
“[Lady] Gaga’s absurdist sensibilities have long been an underrated facet of her work—probably because she’s so good at delivering them with a straight face.” — Rich Juzwiak, Pitchfork, 10 Mar. 2025
Did you know?
The meanings of sensibility run the gamut from mere sensation to excessive sentimentality, but we’re here to help you make sense of it all. In between is a capacity for delicate appreciation, a sense often pluralized. In Jane Austen’s books, sensibility is mostly an admirable quality she attributes to, or finds lacking in, her characters: “He had ... a sensibility to what was amiable and lovely” (of Mr. Elliot in Persuasion). In Sense and Sensibility, however, Austen starts out by ascribing to Marianne sensibleness, on the one hand, but an “excess of sensibility” on the other: “Her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation ... she was everything but prudent.”
2015 - A decade ago! Oh right, I was dirt poor by the end of the year because I remember thinking I wasn't going to get to see the new Star Wars film in theater.
Furious 7 - So my late partner and I had fallen in love with this crew in the first movie. She LOVED Brian. And... well. Paul Walker died before completing this one. And then they released it on her anniversary with me. So Yeah. Saw it twice in theater.
Jurassic World - This looked interesting, was okay, but wife and I both had Issues with it. And then, of course, Pratt lived up to his name, and I let the franchise go away. Still kinda want to see the one with the original trio.
Carol - I don't do arthouse style films, I protest mightily. AND YET. I decided to see what the fuss was about, and FELL IN LOVE. Cate and Rooney sold the story. (and having read up about the author, wow it's toned down from the inspirations / she was a helluva bitch it looked like)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - such characters! such potential! Shame they never made more after it to explore Finn and Rey and Poe in a way that highlighted EVERYTHING THAT MADE THEM INTERESTING! (It did however set me on the SW track of writing, so I can't complain too much)

Today I'm trying out a new recipe for Banana Banana Bread that I found in All Recipes. This one uses 5 bananas where my usual one takes 3, and butter instead of oil. I made half the flour whole wheat. Partway through I realized there was no other flavoring besides the bananas, so I added a teaspoon of cinnamon. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. :D
I just realized that I have eight or nine different star mapping projects on the go with various members of the Tranquility Press gang.
All this has been building up over the last five years, partly to cope with other stuff and partly for fun and research giggles (which have been plentiful).
More as I think it over.

U drove her partner, Chris, and me down to MLK Jr Regional Shoreline to see what rails the King Tide would force into view. We saw Ridgway's Rail and Sora, and U even got a photograph of them together, hiding in the flooded vegetation. We also saw three species of goose where one would think there would only be Canada Geese, but a Brant has been hanging out with the Canadas for so long it's no longer considered rare. Such a cute little goose amongst the hulking Canadas! Today there were also two Greater White-fronted Geese in the flock, not so very unusual but less regular than the Brant. And I guess it's realy Winter because we saw nine species of duck.:) ( The list: )
There's a boardwalk/pier out over the marsh that's closed in Winter because thousands of shorebirds roost there, primarily Willets and Marbled Godwits. Today among them were a dozen or so Black Turnstones, three Snowy Egrets, two Great Egrets, and a Great Blue Heron. Oh, and twenty or so Black-necked Stilts flew in, settling amongst the gray and brown. It was lovely.

Equality matters
When we say that we want equality, what do we mean? Same pay for everyone? Same caloric intake? Same size of house? Same amount of electricity consumed every day? Same amount of household waste? Same amount of political power, influence, or fame?

- TOP STORY: Kim Kardashian, who is famous for something, announced recently that she failed the California bar exam. She previously failed the so-called the “baby bar,” a multiple-choice test required for people who study law via apprenticeship instead of, you know, actually going to law school. Kardashian has supposedly been apprenticing for over six years now, and did pass the baby bar on her fourth try, but for now has gone no further. To be fair, the pass rate for the California bar exam is notoriously low, and many people have initially failed it but then gone on to become good lawyers. To be less fair, virtually all of those people had a law degree, which Kim Kardashian doesn’t, or at least a college degree, which Kim Kardashian also doesn’t.
- Hey, did you know that ChatGPT’s Usage Policies strictly forbid using it for “suicide” or “self-harm”? They do. Did you know that some lawyers thought it would be a good idea to cite that as an affirmative defense to a wrongful-death complaint? They did. Let each of those things be a lesson to you.
- Speaking of lessons, if you need a technical analysis of the load-bearing capacity of a noose or tips about how to “upgrade it into a safer load-bearing anchor loop,” ChatGPT can allegedly help you with that. Assuming you have some non-prohibited purpose for it, of course.
- A co-founder of Crooked Beverage Company has been charged with felony theft for stealing more than $75,000 from the business, says this report. He took most of this after resigning from the company, a startup that sells fruit beverages that contain THC (or THC beverages that contain fruit, I don’t know). According to the report, the man “told investigators he took [the money] because he was ‘super pissed’ and believed he was owed” it, which isn’t a great defense.
- The feds don’t need probable cause to conduct routine searches at the border (though you might be surprised to learn where they think “the border” is). But “nonroutine” searches must be based on “reasonable suspicion.” And while today’s DOJ is not to be trusted, agents probably did have what they needed to search Jesse Agus Martinez in October. According to this press release, “Martinez was diverted to secondary inspection after [a CBP officer] noticed a bulge in Martinez’s groin area.” Said bulge was not further described, but since it turned out to be a pair of “heavily sedated” orange-fronted parakeets—an endangered species—I am prepared to assume its appearance supported reasonable suspicion. Martinez allegedly “claimed several times that the bulge was his ‘pirrin,'” said to be Spanish slang for an object sometimes found in that area but typically not shaped like two parakeets. He was not believed.
- A couple of good entries came in for the Comical Case Names page this week. The LTB Board of Directors, which is me, is currently considering whether one of them is too obscene to be included, even though it’s just the parties’ names. But Moon v. Satan, filed in D.C. on November 13, involves no such quandary. I also award bonus points on three grounds: (1) Satan is described as “a.k.a. ‘Lucifer da fallen Loser, a spiritual being … sued in his official capacity as Ruler of this World”; (2) the second named defendant is “Donald John Trump … sued in his official capacity as President of da United States of America”; and (3) the highly ornate red font used in the header of each page.
- As you know, or should know, attempts to sue Satan or other “spiritual beings” typically fail for lack of jurisdiction or because the plaintiff has been unable to prove service of process on the defendant. That is likely to be the case here as well. At least for the first defendant on the list. Plaintiff presumably knows Trump’s address.
A Founder Got Fed Up With Potential Hires Using AI to ‘Fake It.’
Mollion says some job candidates have always misrepresented themselves, but AI has made the gap between presentation and reality even wider—making interviews and written materials even less reliable.
“On top of that, traditional interviews simply don’t reveal real skill, work style, responsiveness, or judgment,” Mollion told me. “People can say all the right things in an interview, but none of that guarantees how they actually perform on the job.”
I've been saying for years that brief resumes, college degrees, and office interviews offer very little indication of an applicant's actual ability to do a job.

Summary:
This one, it's not for you. You get that, right? This time, it's about me. It has to be me. You can't… you can't keep reaching. I know you love me. I know you would want to step up, to take my place. You've always been the one making the sacrifice. That's who you are, the One. You changed the game to begin with, and then when that wasn't enough, you changed the whole playing field.
Okay, maybe I had something to do with changing the gameboard up. But I was only able to do it because of you, because you had so much faith in me. I need you to have that faith in me now. I need you to be the stronger one, the one who has to live, to keep facing the evil.
Hopefully it won't be as bad, not once I do this.
All my love.
Dawn wasn't used to seeing her sister frail, not even after all the losses they had faced. She'd guessed, though, that this one might be the breaking point, and hurried to get to Buffy's side. She saw the paper crumpled in a fist, but ignored it, just turning her sister to hold her.
At first, Buffy was stiff. The grief broke to Dawn's coaxing, a howl of pain and denial. Dawn just held on, petting her hair, tears streaming on her own face.
"Maybe… maybe it didn't end her?" Dawn suggested once the crying gave way to the heavy silence.
Buffy pushed the crumpled paper to her sister, letting Dawn read Willow's own words. It made Dawn swallow hard, as the pain and finality gripped her all over again.
She couldn't give into it, though. Buffy needed her. Buffy had lost Willow, and Dawn needed to step up even more.

Previously: uk.bookshop.org were selling a Tor ebook with DRM applied, which I only noticed after I had bought it, because all? Tor ebooks? are DRM-free? at the request of the publisher? Like, Hive applies DRM to them, but given that bookshop.org lets you filter for DRM-free, this... was surprising.
My initial support request for (1) an explanation and (2) any chance of a refund, realise this is totally on me though, ... got me an almost-immediate refund, which I was not expecting, and a very entry-level explanation of What DRM Is, which I sort of was. So I wrote back saying thank you very much, and also, Tor went famously DRM-free in about 2012, and they're definitely supplying this specific ebook to other retailers without DRM applied.
There was A Pause.
A day or two later I received a response from someone with "Senior" in their signature, thanking me for my patience and saying they were Investigating.
A few days after that I noticed that the ebook in question was now marked DRM-free: hurrah! ... but when I bought it, and clicked on the "yes please download my DRM-free ebook" button, nothing happened.
I did not write back in because I have been. preoccupied.
But a few days after that I tried again and this time the download did work! So hurrah for bookshop.org needing me to do much less assertive escalation than I'd been expecting, and also for noticing that something was still broken and Fixing It without me needing to get around to e-mailing in about it.
... the quick part of this note was going to be: I know there were Questions on my first post about Hey They're Doing Ebooks Now, about how you actually filter for DRM-free. As far as I can tell this isn't actually possible from the ebooks landing page, which seems A Pity, BUT when you search for something (which can absolutely be as vague as "science fiction"), the FORMAT dropdown lets you filter for DRM-free ebooks only. Obviously this is Not Ideal, in that one might actually like to browse All DRM-Free Ebooks, but it does exist as an option, where as far as I can tell it doesn't, at all, on e.g. Kobo. Hopefully this knowledge is helpful! And certainly The Above Saga has caused me to think sufficiently positively of them that I'm likely to default to them for my ebooks in future.
So, I spent an hour, or maybe a little more than an hour this morning in my writing space, looking for the place where Talizea yos'Phelium is born (Ghost Ship, as it happens, first published in August 2011, and if the Liaden Universe® ran on Real World time, Lizzie'd be cabin boy, or maybe at Scout Academy, instead of walking, now, except when she don't.)
One of the things that my search convinced me of is that I really should sit down and read All the Liaden Books, which I've never had time to do. I still don't have time, unless I want to dedicate my free-time reading in 2026 to the Liaden Universe®.
Anyway, what with looking for Lizzie's birth, and checking another couple of pertinent events, I only wrote about 700 new words. However! I did write, and I have the supervisors to prove it:
Lunch was broccoli cheese soup, riffing off of a recipe in the insurance company's newsletter. Then I had correspondence to tend to and real life chores, plus PT homework. I went downstairs eventually to do my duty to the cats, and take a walk.
Then before going back upstairs and maybe getting some more words written, I peeked into My Studio to look at my project, and said, "Oh, I'll just cut one piece," which -- you know how this goes, right? Right. I cut out all the rest of the pieces. The next step is grinding, but that really does need to wait until I get this draft done. This will be easier to police than the cutting, since I don't have a grinder here at home, but will need to rent a studio-with-tools at the glass shop in Manchester.
Tomorrow, now free of driving back and forth to Brunswick, is a Writing Day, and I have lots of leftover soup, so I won't actually have to stop for more time than it takes to heat up a bowl and cut a piece of bread. I have two scenes sketched in, so I'm hopeful of a productive day.
For this evening, Coon Cat Happy Hour has been served -- and appears to have been consumed -- I'm all caught up on everything (except calling for a haircut, which for some reason I keep forgetting to do) so! I believe I'll pour myself a glass of wine and go read for a bit.
Everybody have a good evening.
This evening we went to the town lighting of the Christmas tree at the town centre/center. The temperature was around -3C/26F so we all dressed very warmly. I was wearing heavy wool socks, parka, gloves, wool scarf, and warm hat, and had the hood of the parka up as well, and while most of me stayed warm enough, my toes and my nose got very cold, and my gloves weren't quite thick enough and my fingers were cold as well. We were standing around outside for about an hour listening to recorded music as well as to the local middle school brass band playing Christmas songs, and my daughter and I were just wishing they would hurry up and get to the tree lighting part because we were so cold. When they did eventually flip the switch to light the tree it was very dramatic of course. After the tree was lit one of the local fire trucks arrived fully decorated with Christmas lights and carrying Santa Claus. The girls had fun with various school friends but they were happy to come home after an hour. Now I'm at home trying to get the blood flowing to my toes again. The floor in this basement has heating but it seems to run in a fairly narrow band across the middle of the floor, so I have to sit in a particular spot so that my feet are on the warm part. It feels good but my toes are still very cold and still look blue.

Hey all, it's December and that means it's time to share your suggestions for next year's themes!
You can comment on this post with up to 10 suggestions. Comments will be screened, but I'll unscreen mine so you can get a feel for how it goes.
Suggested themes should be new to the comm and broad enough to sustain a month of recommendations, and I'm going to be more particular than I have in the past, as I'd like to focus on general themes that make it easier for everyone to participate. To give you an idea of what this means, I'm aiming for themes that have at least 5,000 completed works on AO3. I've also preloaded the list with some common genres that, surprisingly enough, we haven't done yet, like fantasy.
I'll drop by your comments and let you know which of your suggestions meet these guidelines. As part of this process I may offer slight alterations or rework themes to make them more inclusive.
If you can, check out our spreadsheet of past themes before commenting to make sure your suggestions aren't already on there.
If you need some inspiration:
- Last year's suggestion post
- List of Fic Kinks, Tropes, and Clichés at Fanlore
- Cliché Bingo's Big List of Clichés (Wayback Link)
- Hurt/Comfort Bingo Prompts
- Kink Bingo's Kink Wiki (NSFW)
- Trope List & Definitions at Trope Bingo
- TV Tropes
I'll add the suggestions to this post once they've been confirmed, but I still, somehow, don't have all the past themes memorized, so if I make a mistake or if I accept a suggestion that is hurtful or badly worded, let me know.
Theme suggestions will be voted on later this month and the most popular will advance to the monthly theme polls in 2026.
