awesomeersIt's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

2025 Nominations
Apr. 21st, 2025 12:50 pmflowersforgraves posting in unconventionalfanworkexWelcome to the official nominations post for 2025. Please read all guidelines before nominating.
Each participant may nominate a maximum of 5 medium types and 5 fandoms. There is no limit to the number of characters you may nominate in each fandom. In contrast to previous rounds, no relationships or groups may be nominated.
Can I Nominate...
- Original Works? Yes!
- RPF? Yes, as long as all nominated persons are 18+ and famous in their own right.
- Worldbuilding? Yes!
- Creator's Choice of Fandom? No. I will add this in at the end of nominations.
- "Any X Character"? Yes!
- Existing fanworks (in order to create recursive fanworks)? Yes, as long as you provide me with a link to a permission statement by the original fanwork creator. I will not search for this myself.
Please nominate fandom/characters and medium types in separate comments. This helps me keep track of them. If you include both in the same comment, I will only accept the one you've listed first. The first two top-level comments are examples from me.
If you're using a specific phrasing for a medium that may not be easily found with a quick web search, please include a link! This helps me determine if it's appropriate for this event and, further, to create a specific minimum.

Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Diaz
Apr. 21st, 2025 07:30 amatlantablack posting in poetryI’ve been taught bloodstones can cure a snakebite,
can stop the bleeding — most people forgot this
when the war ended. The war ended
depending on which war you mean: those we started,
before those, millenia ago and onward,
those which started me, which I lost and won —
these ever-blooming wounds.
I was built by wage. So I wage love and worse—
always another campaign to march across
a desert night for the cannon flash of your pale skin
settling in a silver lagoon of smoke at your breast.
I dismount my dark horse, bend to you there, deliver you
the hard pull of all my thirsts—
I learned Drink in a country of drought.( Read more... )

Coconut cream rice pudding
Apr. 20th, 2025 05:56 pmsonia posting in gluten_free20-Minute Creamy Coconut Rice Pudding Recipe by Mama Gourmand, website tagline "gluten-free made easy." The recipe includes an optional cinnamon whipped cream topping which I didn't attempt.
What I had in the house was a can of coconut cream, so I scooped some out into a 3/4 cup measure, and added water to fill both the can and the measuring cup. Turned out great! I used the full amount of sugar, 1/3 cup, and it tasted a little too sweet.
Recipe as I made it:
Time
20 min
Tools
Medium pot, stove
Ingredients
2 cups cups cooked white rice
13.5 ounce canned coconut cream (not milk)
⅓ cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup: scoop of coconut cream, add water to make 3/4 cup, and add water to fill the can of coconut cream back up.
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
( Comes together pretty fast )

Bunny caught in passing on the lawn.

Bunnies are of course going to favor weedy green lawns over elegant stone yards punctuated with waxy sculptural ornamentals. This one looks like an Eastern Cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus); Marsh Rabbits (S. palustris) (1), tend to have shorter ears, and my neighborhood strikes me as a bit too far from the water to attract them during the dry season.
It’s on alert, reacting sensibly to the arrival of a member of the deadliest of the Thousand, and so this was the only shot I was able to get before it went PATWINNNG! under the seagrape bed (the round-leaved shrub at center right, bordered by white river rocks.)
(1) Today I Learned the scientific name of the Lower Keys Marsh Rabbit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvilagus_palustris_hefneri
Yes; that Hugh Hefner funded endangered rabbit research, and was commemorated accordingly.
