Two book bindings
Feb. 24th, 2026 10:33 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
ehydeI finished up two projects this week, despite the snow (and despite the kids being home from school due to the snow)
First: Mo Du (Silent Reading) by Priest
This was typeset by @rainsfalling.tumblr for 2024's cnovel bookbinding exchange. I haven't read it yet, so my design choices don't have much to do with the contents (I started with the cat endpapers, found this plaid fabric on the same shopping trip, and designed the book around that combo.
Second: The Tiniest Heipaoshi by @tehfanglyfish.tumblr
This is a very fun fic in which Professor Shen's TA takes on some additional duties. I knew almost immediately after reading it that I wanted it to be a tiny book. It's a sewn-board binding styled after a composition notebook, with the title/initials in a sketched version of a fancier font, sort of inspired by Jiajia's closet cosplay version of Shen Wei's envoy robes in the fic. Happily I had some scrap paper left over from a previous project which matched both the canon vibes and the notebook look!
( Many more pictures under the cut )

reading in 2025
Feb. 24th, 2026 11:36 pmlacewoodIn the spirit of Lunar New Year, it's time to tidy up 2025 with the annual reading list.
( words read, and some thoughts )
And to finish off, every year, I hope that things get better for the world and unfortunately, for the last few years, they have not. The chaos (horrors) persists. But so does the world. And maybe that's the best we can hope for, in the end.

indonesia architecture
Feb. 24th, 2026 02:08 amroyalsongbird posting in little_detailshello! im currently working on a fantasy story where the country it takes place in (or at the very least starts in- im still figuring out plot details) is inspired by indonesia, but im having trouble finding good resources about indonesian architecture in the vague time period im writing in- i dont have a specific idea beyond the vague medieval times setting most fantasy stories use, but im more than willing to try and narrow it down if it helps. if anyone has resources i could look into, that would be very helpful!
Squidgie calls for aid! Can anyone retrieve a memetic photo of John Sheppard’s butt?
Feb. 23rd, 2026 05:27 pmfull_metal_ox posting in little_detailssquidgiepdx belongs to this comm, but he’s perpetually been some combination of sick and busy, so I’ve taken the liberty of helping him out.He’s trying to track down a particular BTS shot from Stargate: Atlantis:
And now on to the SGA Picture part of the deal. So I wrote a quickie story for
romancingmcshep about John Sheppard's ass (the fest goes until February 28th if you're interested!) and the whole story is based on a picture that NOBODY can find anymore. I KNOW! It's frustrating! Anyway, there's what I think is a "behind the scenes" shot of most likely S01E03 "Hide and Seek" or S01E05 "Suspicion" where it's focused on Joe Flanigan's butt. Like kinda blatantly. He's kneeling on the Gateroom floor over Rodney, I believe and you can see where his t-shirt is pulled up and the waistband of his BDUs are lower - showing some skin and some of his boxers. This is what I think the camera sees in that shot, as Sheppard is kneeling like that but I remember there being a whole lot more skin. Does anyone remember a BTS photo like this? SO FRUSTRATING that I can't find it when I know I've seen it a hundred times. His post: https://squidgiepdx.dreamwidth.org/341626.html

Feb. 22nd, 2026 10:47 pmyuuagoI received notice that my offer for this year's Fandom Trumps Hate auction has been accepted and posted. I'm so glad!
A few years ago, I had an offer that I could not actually complete - it was for beta services and the person who won it never got back to me. Since then, they seem to have dropped out of fandom. I haven't participated in FTH since. So, I was kind of worried it wouldn't get accepted, since I technically still have an outstanding assignment.
Mind you, if that person ever shows up again, then sure, I'd be happy to fulfill that assignment! ;V In the meantime, I'm just glad I can participate this year.
There are still a few days before everything officially opens; they have so many to post that it needs to go in batches. I'll make a separate post when that happens.

Weather Alert: Good gentles all, charge your devices [meteo, DC/NYC/MA]
Feb. 21st, 2026 06:47 pmsidereaIf you live in the BosWash Corridor, especially in NYC-to-Boston, you need to be paying attention to the weather. We have an honest to gosh Nor'easter blizzard predicted for the next 3 days, with heavy wet snow and extremely high winds – the model predicts the damn thing will have an eye – which of course is highly predictive of power outages due to downed lines.
Plug things what need it into electricity while ya got it.
Whiteout conditions expected. The NWS's recommendation for travel is: don't. Followed by recommendations for how to try not to die if you do: "If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle."
I would add to that: if you get stranded in your car by snow and need to run the engine for heat, you must also periodically clear the build-up of snow blocking the tailpipe, or the exhaust will back up into the passenger compartment of the car and gas you to death.
As always, for similar reasons do not try to use any form of fire to heat your house if the regular heat goes out, unless you have installed the necessary hardware into the structure of your house, i.e. chimneys, fireplaces, and wood stoves, and they have been sufficiently recently serviced and you know how to operate them safely. The number one killer in blizzards is not the cold, it's the carbon monoxide from people doing dumb shit with hibachis.
NWS says DC to get 2 to 4 inches, NYC/BOS to get 1 to 2 feet. Ryan Hall Y'all reports some models saying up to 5 inches in DC and up to three feet in NYC and BOS.
2026 Feb 21 (5 hrs ago): Ryan Hall Y'all on YT: "The Next 48 Hours Will Be Absolutely WILD...". See particularly from 3:30 re winds.
If somehow you don't already have a preferred regular source of NWS weather alerts – my phone threw up one compliments of Google, and I didn't even know it was authorized to do that – you can see your personal NWS alerts at https://forecast.weather.gov/zipcity.php , just enter your zipcode. Also you should get yourself an app or something.
