Anyone who knows me IRL knows I live in the area affected by the Butte County fires. At the moment my home is safe and my town is not currently under evacuation, but just so I could sleep through the night without worrying I would have to flee I am temporarily staying with friends in San Francisco. Just wanted to let people know.

Dear people posting fix-its on A03: could you please word your summaries in ways that are not spoilery for everyone who hasn't seen the film yet? (I.e. saying who lives is a spoiler just as much as who dies ( Read more... )

It's been 100 years or so since I last posted, so have a technology meme:

Did you have a cell phone prior to your thirties?
Nope. Officially bought my first flip-phone the year I turned 40.

Here's more information: Supporting Foster Campbell in the Louisiana runoff. Maybe a longshot, but for people who are donating things to ( Read more... )

I've been trying to save money lately so I haven't been going to the movies much, but after this week I really needed distraction, so I went to see "Arrival" largely on the basis of its rotten tomatoes score (as late as Monday it was at 100%, so I was curious), and wow, those critics were not wrong.

I finally got around to watching this, and now I want all the meta. Anyone written anything (or seen anything good)?

Imzy is a new threaded discussion board--I haven't really done much exploring there, but someone on ffa was offering free invitations and I thought I would namesquat in the event that fandom happens to move in that direction. I now have ten nine (they keep adding more as you give them out, apparently) invitations, if anyone wants one. [Please ( Read more... )
