common_natureThe only birds of prey I see here in my tiny town in south-eastern Sweden are Red Kites (Milvus milvus). They're usually soaring far too high up and away over the forest to get acceptable photos of. This morning however a pair was kind enough to come down low enough I could take ( these... )
TV Tuesday: Is That Still You?
Jul. 22nd, 2025 12:06 pmyourlibrarian posting in tv_talk

Birds in Flight

I interrupt my travel series to share some photos from the last months of birds. This barn swallow was caught almost by accident as it headed off, coming towards us in the parking lot.

Jensen time
Jul. 21st, 2025 08:46 pmdizzojay There is an embarrassment of Jensen riches around at the moment with all the Countdown and Boys promotion photoshoots and interviews - not that I'm complaining - at all!
With that said, I couldn't let Jensen time miss out, so for your delectation, here's a couple of the latest delicious goodies!!
If you need me, I'll be over in the corner, drooling to death.

Anime earrings
Jul. 21st, 2025 09:35 pmthepasteldyke posting in everykindofcraftRecently I made a couple of new earrings based on the character Takeuchi from the series Mars Red. I've made more earrings featuring this character but these are the newer ones.
I only made one of the leftmost earrings cus it's a pain working with clear shrinky-dink plastic lol (I also only had one red drop bead but that's a different problem)

Jul. 20th, 2025 05:21 pmyourlibrarian1) I have not been keeping up with the challenges given other things going on, but this one grabbed me: What games do you play, if any? Are you a solo-gamer or do you view games as a social activity? ( Read more... )
2) I've been watching a bunch of things on Max, mostly biographies. I found the Jaws 50 year anniversary documentary interesting as, while I remember the film I've never seen it.
In bios I finished Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed which was a fair amount of surface stuff. ( Read more... )
3) In movies, saw Shazam fury of the gods which was pretty meh, as it just seemed rather predictable. Also watched Traitor which was a lot more interesting in terms of the undercover spy story. Then saw the Batman Lego movie which was 30 minutes too long (tedious final battle section) but was otherwise entertaining, particularly in all its pop culture references. ( Read more... )
4) In TV series, I ended up skipping through most of The New Pope just as I had The Young Pope. It just felt rather repetitive. Also watched The Investigation, a Danish production focused on the police activity finding evidence for the actual case of a murdered journalist aboard a submarine. ( Read more... )
5) Continuing to post trip photos tocommon_nature, the latest being our stay in Hood River

Fanfic, Bionicle - All Media Types, Turaga Metru, The first winter on the island
Jul. 19th, 2025 07:24 pmbluerosekatie posting in smallfandomfestTitle: odd weather we're having
Author: bluerosekatie
Fandom: Bionicle - All Media Types
Pairing/Characters: (use full names rather than initials or nicknames)
Rating/Category: Gen
Prompt: Bionicle - All Media Types, Turaga Metru, The first winter on the island
Spoilers: N/A, besides minor references to canon
Summary: So what made this happen? Why is it freezing in the desert?
The answer, unwelcome as it was, came to mind fast – Makuta. He’s broken his deal with Vakama – or we’ve lost track of time, and it’s been a year already.
Notes/Warnings: Archive-locked to avoid AI scraping.
