Looking for Betas
Fandom: Original Work
Characters/Pairings: Het pairings so far, but it's only book one at this time.
Rating & Warnings: Cursing, blood, torture, and such like that. Supernatural creatures, has teens but it's an adult book. Actually without the cursing it could be a gen work. I don't focus too much on romance but instead friendships. Later installments will have romance however.
Estimated Fic Length: 40,000 to 80,000 words.
Notes: The fanfic isn't fully written yet. I did a rough outline so I can write the full work in a little bit. I'm just getting two or three people to become part of my life in the mean time, so I can shower with virtual hugs and kisses for helping me. It's Buffy the Vampire slayer inspired.


Looking to beta!
Fandoms: Original works, final fantasy, resident evil, silent hill, buffy the vampire slayer, the vampire diaries, supernatural (yes, please)
Strengths: I'm good at catching errors, mistakes, even sentence structure mishaps.
Limits: I'll beta anything except underage.
Other Notes: Nothing to say. Give me a reason to get back into reading more often.

WATCH THIS: https://x.com/BenjAlvarez1/status/1931375699786334704

Click through to see the video. You really, really should. Sound is irrelevant.

Text: "Tanks, fighting vehicles and howitzers arrive in Washington, D.C. ahead of next week's military parade. They departed from Texas on June 2." Two minutes and forty seconds.

Allegedly that train is a mile long and is transporting:

• 28 Abrams tanks (M1A2 main battle tank)
• 3 armored recovery vehicles (M88)
• 28 Bradleys (M2A3 infantry fighting vehicle)
• 5 Paladins (M109A7 self-propelled howitzer), and
• 28 Strykers (infantry carrier vehicle)

Source: 2025 Jun 6: @USAMilitaryChannel on YT [not official military channel]: "1-Mile Military Train -Texas to D.C. with Tanks, Armor, and More for Army's 250th Parade". I do not know if that source is reputable or if that inventory is accurate.

USA Today is reporting that "The military vehicles will be joined by 1,800 soldiers". (Source: 2025 Jun 6, USATODAY on YT: "Watch: Tanks, fighting vehicles head to DC for Trump's military parade", CW: face full of Trump, alt: screenshot).

I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking that maybe the guy who attempted one coup already bringing a well-armed military force into our capitol city and, crucially, within artillery-range of the Pentagon, is just throwing himself a birthday party, but also maybe not.

ETA: For those of you confused by this, thinking, but doesn't he already control the military? You might want to watch this video about the rise of Xi Jinping.

Now, obviously, Trump would never play a long game like Xi did. But, 1) there are other ways to achieve the same end and 2) he doesn't have to, because his buddies, the Dominionists, did.

I'm on hiatus here generally; if you've emailed me and haven't heard back, I'm triaging due to work/other commitments. (In one case, there's someone with, I think, a name starting with C who emailed me a lovely note the week after my concussion and I can't find the email; I'm convinced I accidentally concussedly deleted it because my hand-eye/focus were so shot I kept hitting random keys; if that's you, I'm very sorry!) I will try to catch up when work/life permit. :]

Sigur Rós - Whoo!

I managed to score a ticket to see Sigur Rós in Edmonton later this year! They're going to be performing with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

This is super exciting. They're one of those bands that I've enjoyed for a long time, but never thought I would be able to see perform live. I remember seeing Takk in the store and buying it based on the album design, completely unaware of what their sound was like, and then getting my mind completely blown.

I've never actually been to Edmonton - like, I've gone around it plenty of times on the way to visit family down south, but we never stopped anywhere other than Costco. So, I'll probably take an extra day or two to go to the Royal Alberta Museum and the Art Gallery of Alberta. Maybe will also do some shopping and whatnot.

If anybody has suggestions of Fun Things To Do in Edmonton while I'm there, I'm open to ideas. I'll probably be taking the intercity bus to get there.

Ahhh I'm super excited for this concert. <3 <3 <3

Catholic school 1940's Quebec

[personal profile] timemidae posting in [community profile] little_details
Hi! 

I've been reading up on the historical Catholic school system in Quebec, and I've gathered that until 1960 there were commonly Catholic schools that were supported by public funds (officially ended in the 90's). I've been able to find the names of some of the girl's schools, but haven't been able to easily find the names of any of the mixed or boy's schools below the high school level. 

Anyone know any specific schools that could have served a 10-year old, working class, Catholic boy in Montreal or Quebec City ~1940? 

Thanks!
