Absolutely thrilled that my request for a @ficwip community was approved by Tumblr for the beta test!
As soon as I can figure out how to invite people, I'll be putting together a small group to help determine how we can best use this for things like writing prompts going forward.

I was up very late last night with academic things, and I can't believe I forgot that today is Henry Thomas Dundas Le Vesconte's 210th birthday!!!
Everyone's favourite Gemini, born in Netherton, Devon 14 June 1813!
His 32nd birthday in 1845 was celebrated aboard HMS Erebus, not yet in the arctic at that point in time. We have some idea of the activities of the day from the published letters of James Fitzjames:
A rainy and foggy day, but arranging books to make a "very capital library", with the traditional Royal Navy toast for sweethearts and wives—and Henry had a sweetheart in Henrietta Le Feuvre.

some of you have leaned so hard into your utterly empty, intellectually devoid, frivolous language that masquerades as progressive radicalism and sociological purity testing that you have fallen all the way into dehumanization and condemnation of the "other" to prove from behind your screens that you have joined the "correct side" of what is tantamount to hardline dogmatic thinking. if you suppress individual thought, compassion, open discussion, and malign the free press, you are not a progressive, you are a functional conservative in a different outfit. if you have decided that your abstract language and frothy ideals should be elevated above actual human life, and are using said language to divorce it from humanistic approaches to others and concern for their welfare, or worse, are using it to actively harass and frighten them, you are, in fact, the very enemy you claim to be fighting, and you should not be trusted, because your philosophies are built upon sand and will shift with the tides to make sure you are not affected by the damage that you do.

starting to read (watch? experience??) 17776 on April 7th, the day when humanity is apparently going to become immortal (in 3 years), was not exactly a coincidence (juice is launching in a couple days and I finally got talked into it) but it sure was weird when I got to that part

Apologies for poor photos, but my Alloniscus perconvexus spawned something orangey!
The pics are a little misleading. It's not quite this orange in person. The eyes appear black to me, so likely not amelanistic. For comparison, this is the regular coloration, taken at the same time under the same light.
