I really need to catch up on these...

The Zen Diary - via JFF. It wasn't immediately clear to me at the beginning if this was a drama or a documentary and while it's more like some dramatized memoir, holy shit did it evoke a lot of feelings. Mostly wanting to punch the lead. Very well acted. A very good movie. Hated it.

Have a Song on Your Lips - via JFF. A fairly uplifting 'teaching choir' story with all sorts of complications. Also well acted and enjoyable.

Come Back Anytime - via JFF. Restaurant documentary.

Mottainai Kitchen - via JFF. Documentary about eliminating food waste.

Misc JFF shorts - via JFF and also on YouTube, several about sushi, yokai, music, and art...

The Scoop - via JFF. Hilarious as fuck double-crossing delight about an underground school paper and a writing club.

LOLO Itsukou Series 7: I Can't Hibernate with Books as a Pillow - via JFF, also on Youtube. By a group that writes short modern plays for student productions. Students in the school library on xmas eve. I'd watch more by this group.

Takano Tofu - via JFF. Sort of underwhelming drama about a family that makes Tofu and their complicated lives. Doesn't stick the landing at all but otherwise well acted.

Wizard Barristers - Yep, watched this again and still enjoyed it through the fanservice and whatnot does grate a bit. It's just the right kind of over-the-top that I sometimes need. I feel like the title basically explains the plot? Bonus for Moyo. Always bonus for Moyo.

Super Dimension Century Orguss - aka the one that didn't become part of Robotech and that's incredibly okay because Orguss is... There are some very good ideas in here but a lot that fail spectacularly and also a lot of absolute What The Fuck?! Listen, I watched Orguss so you don't have to.

E's Otherwise - rewatch as well. E's has some bumpy moments but manages to pull itself together by the end. The cross-dressing scenes still hold up incredibly well.

Another Long Weekend

I hope anyone celebrating Turkey and/or Nap Day had a lovely one. Since I was out incredibly late (for me) on Thursday and couldn't get myself together to do more than shuffle around the house for a few hours, everything I'd meant to do on Friday will get done today... I think it's just run by the pharmacy, run by the PO, and maybe another shop to get gloves for the mitten tree at the library.

I've taken advantage of a couple of gunpla shop sales... and I got my gift from the second Secret Santa and just... what a wonderful and generous community. I am humbled.

Still have some stuff on my giveaway post and I might be adding more as I clean and whatnot. I'll probably post it to [community profile] holiday_wishes by the end of the weekend.

I'm sure there's more but it's sure been a week and a weekend. I need a nap and probably some turkey...

Buckwheat granola

I bought a bag of Bob's Red Mill buckwheat groats on impulse, and they've been sitting in the cabinet for a while. Today I looked at the back, and found this Buckwheat Granola recipe. I had enough ingredients on hand (without the nuts and seeds), and gave it a try.

Ingredients:
2 cups Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats or Gluten Free Organic Rolled Oats
1 cup Buckwheat Groats
1 cup Sliced Almonds
1/4 cup Shelled Sunflower Seeds
1/4 cup Organic Pumpkin Seeds
2 Tbsp White Hulled Sesame Seeds
1/2 cup Coconut Flakes
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Maple Syrup
1/4 cup Coconut Oil
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Almond Extract
1 cup Dried Cranberries

recipe )

Notes:
- I had the buckwheat, quick oats, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, and sweeteners. Turned out fine.
- I didn't have almond extract, but accidentally put in an extra slosh of vanilla extract. No problem.
- It is very very sweet, like making candy. For the future, I found this recipe from Katie Morford where the proportions look a little more like what I would want.

A silly Black Friday

[personal profile] cornerofmadness
Didn't really shop unless you count the liquor store (I do). My friend MKF wanted to meet up at Tim Horton's in Athens. We tried to recapture the old Nano energy this year. No one showed up us two but that's okay. We're enough. We're planning to try again in Feb (though that might have to be Saturday afternoons or online). We actually spend more time talking than writing but ah well.

My throat and tooth still hurt. Fun times but I picked up a Skeletonwitch pizza in Athens and taunted my mother with it (I need to buy her one on my way home)

But here's the weird thing. As I left today my landlord's truck was out there with a trailer holding a washing machine...wait? You are putting machines IN our apartment. I DO NOT have one. Now I need to make another phone call. I REALLY need to get my shit together tomorrow and Sunday and clean up this place so I can get him in here.

Also Hazbin Hotel is now officially my most spendy fandom since the Buffyverse (which still wears the trading money for magic beans crown) It needs to have less cool merch.

And now on to the Fannish 50 friday recs. Look, I wrote a thing.


Title: Never Gonna Give You Up

Summary: Angel is gone. Husk disappears into a bottle and stays there until he swims to rock bottom. Determined not to leave Angel with his abusers, Husk sobers enough and proposes his plan to the rest of the hotel. They’ll help him. They may already have plans he was too drunk to notice. All Husk knows he’s never going to give Angel up and desert him.

Rating: teen

Notes: This is open ended (because I’m writing it for a weekly challenge) and certainly won’t be my last speculation on how the hotel crew get Angel back from the Vees.

Content warning – alcoholism and addiction references.

Written for Spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The words were Faded, Odd, Coherent, Consign, Rise, & Dwell. Also written for the allbingo prompt of Love is putting someone else's needs before your own (a quote by Olaf in Frozen).
Also written for the lyrical titles bingo challenge for the prompt, a meme song. I chose the GOAT of meme songs Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. Ha, that’s right, I just Rickrolled my whole readership (wearing an Alastor grin right now, or at the very least, Rosie’s).

2014 -- not heavy on the movie going.

Maleficent - Okay. I was skeptical as fuck, waited for video release. OMG, I was so wrong. This was just the slight twist I needed on the original to make it work for me. The cast played their hearts out. Diaval IS SO GOOD! I just love this movie to bits and pieces.

Annie (2014) - Another seen after the theater, but this time caught on DirecTV. And HOT DAMN I am glad I did. I love and adore it as a remake. The cast played it superbly, updated for the modern era and all! Just, magnificent.

For Sale: Nintendo Switch games

I've made this post a few times without any luck, but I wanted to try again just in case I have better luck this time. Would anyone be interested in any of the following Nintendo Switch games?

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (example on Amazon)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (example on Amazon)
TemTem (example on Amazon)

If you're not interested but know someone who might be, please point them my way. I'm about $65 shy of where I need to be to pay for my storage unit this month, because the universe hates me, and it would help a lot if I could manage to sell even one of them.

For payment, I have CashApp ($Settiai), PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle (nancy.lynn.foster@gmail.com).

The whole Tom King Situation

Nov. 28th, 2025 05:20 pm
muccamukk: Juli on a ladder shelving library books, sunbeams giving him wings. (Heart of Thomas: Wings)
[personal profile] muccamukk
Some impactful opinion pieces by First Nations authors:

Niigaan Sinclair: The inconvenient truth: Thomas King’s admission he isn’t Cherokee hits hard.

Tanya Talaga: Thomas King’s storytelling now feels like a betrayal.

Jesse Wente: Jesse Wente on Thomas King and finding hope in a hard moment (Video: 42min).


Thoughts:
I'm glad Lee Maracle and Murray Sinclair didn't see this betrayal. I wonder how many more are to come.

Personally, as a basic white girl who casually follows CanLit discourse, I'd heard the rumours for close to ten years, and assumed they weren't true because it seemed like the Cherokee Nation would've said something. And it just felt to obvious, maybe? Surely someone would've looked into it when the Michelle Latimer situation happened? Guess not! Or maybe they did, and this is how long it takes to gather that level of detail.

My hot take (which I've heard going around a bit): you can't be in King's position and not know that. A lot of us with roots in that part of the world have family stories about Cherokee ancestors, myself included. Which a lot of people believe because why would their families lie to them? Then you learn it's a whole trope, and look into it, and realise it's just family mythology. Or don't, because you're not claiming anything based on it, anyway. But if you're speaking on behalf of a people, as King was, not having the least curiosity, or desire to reconnect with family, feels like wilful ignorance at best. (Which is why the rumours felt too obvious. Surely, I thought, he must have made sure.)

It's not something that is making me, personally, reconsider my CanLit canon. I read a few books by King, and enjoyed them, but he wasn't a favourite author.


Palate cleansers:
Elamin asked Jesse Wente for some recs, and here's his list (copied from the episode description on YouTube):
Books:
The Knowing by Tanya Talaga
Bad Indians Book Club by Patty Krawec
The Idea of an Entire Life by Billy Ray Belcourt
The Boy From Buzwah: A Life in Indian Education by Cecil King
Survival Ojibwe by Patricia Ningewance
Danger Eagle written by Jesse Wente and illustrated by Shaikara David

Film & TV:
Saints and Warriors (coming soon to Crave)
The Knowing - documentary series based on Tanya Talaga's book (on CBC Gem)
Aki by Darlene Naponse
Uiksaringitara: Wrong Husband by Zacharias Kunuk
Meadowlarks by Tasha Hubbard (coming soon to theatres -- it’s a drama adaptation of her documentary, Birth of a Family, available on the NFB website)
Siksikakowan: The Blackfoot Man by Sinakson Trevor Solway

Finally, let's laugh about a funny time someone got fooled: 'Made-up quote' in Canadian satire site The Beaverton fools Time Magazine.

Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Dominic Toretto
Additional Tags: Drabble, Dreams and Nightmares
Summary:

Dom comes up from a dream... or is it more?






Dom gasped awake, his whole body thrumming with adrenaline. Jesse dead? Vince maybe dying?

Like hell!

He sat up, glad Letty wasn't in here, wanting to go kick Brian's ass right now. That was a bullshit reaction though; it had just been a nightmare. Letty'd been questioning when they were going to exit this set up, Vince was riding his back about Bri being a cop.

Just a damned nightmare.

Well, he wasn't going back to sleep now. He grabbed the nearest jeans and a tank, heading out to work on the car.

That would settle him down from it.

[personal profile] scrubjayspeaks
No wind stirred the lake that day, as the last autumn leaves fell, crisp and cupped, to the water. They scudded across the surface, shivering the glass of it, toward the oddly solid reflection of a tree on the far bank. No one could see the tree spirits captaining the little boats, but there was an invisible migration underway as they left the trees of this dimension in peace to sleep away the winter.
