New Let's go Karaoke! fic: Locked in orbit (Kyouji/Satomi)
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
vriddyWatching the live-action movie motivated me to finally edit this fic! It doesn't actually work with the movie timeline and heavily relies on anime-only elements, but it is done :D
Locked in orbit | Let's go karaoke! | Kyouji/Satomi | 1.8k words | rated T
Summary: Kyouji has been in this time loop for a long time now, meeting Satomi and growing closer over and over, trying to keep him safe. Failing, sometimes. Those are the Bad Loops. If he plays his cards right though, Kyouji hopes he can make this loop the final one.
Read it on Dreamwidth or on AO3.

Costco
cornerofmadnessMaybe it's a good thing I don't have one near me (it's 90 miles away with my Trader Joe's). I would have even more of a food hoarding issue and much less money. That said, I made a nice haul and my poor car is going to be much more loaded going home than it came here.
Somehow this did manage to eat up huge chunks of my day.
I'm still batting around ideas for what to do this year. Then I feel selfish for thinking about vacation when the world is on fire. On the other hand it'll still be on fire if I sit at home in my apartment. Sigh.
I have some community recs![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
worldbuildex looks interesting. Sign ups are right now
and then there isvampiremedia all about vampires.
And for Women's History month how about the wiki for Rita Levi-Montalcini She is a noble prize winner and one of the few women in my biomedical books. Now. I never heard of her until I began teaching and she wasn't even in my earliest books teaching. So I've only seen her in the last 15 years. How sad is that?

Poet's Corner: The Blue Dress by Saeed Jones
stonepicnicking_okapiThe Blue Dress by Saeed Jones
Her blue dress is a silk train is a river
is water seeps into the cobblestone streets of my sleep, is still raining
is monsoon brocade, is winter stars stitched into puddles
is good-bye in a flooded, antique room, is good-bye in a room of crystal bowls
and crystal cups, is the ring-ting-ring of water dripping from the mouths
of crystal bowls
and crystal cups, is the Mississippi River is a hallway, is leaks
like tears from windowsills of a drowned house, is windows open to waterfalls
is a bed is a small boat is a ship, is a current come to carry me in its arms
through the streets, is me floating in her dress through the streets
is only the moon sees me floating through the streets, is me in a blue dress
out to sea, is my mother is a moon out to sea.

Word Count: ~ 5000 this chapter
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Canon-Typical Violence
Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Forceโs Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.
But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.
Or,
Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.
He wakes up on a slaversโ ship, with all of his prior lifeโs memories intact, and heโs bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.
Just another day in the life of the Forceโs Champion.
Chapter Summary: Obi-Wan has returned to the Temple, laden with information firmly tying Damask to Palpatine. Or rather Plagueis to Sidious. But a not-so-random encounter interrupts the delivery of that information to the High Council.

ysabetwordsmithComplete Guide To (57) Almost All Types Of Fiber Arts With Photos
This guide covers 57, and counting, types of fiber arts. They are broken down into two major categories:
1) String work, which includes spinning treatments, knotting, lace making, weaving and needlework.
2) Felt work, which includes sculpture, string felt, fur felt, wet felting and dry felting.
Fiber art, in its strictest sense, is fine art made with natural or synthetic fibers, such as wool and cotton, to acrylic and nylon, where the resulting work is valued for aesthetic and artistic expression over utility. You could add that the artisanship and materials used are also an essential part of the creation.

Birdfeeding
ysabetwordsmithToday is mostly sunny and chilly.
I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted the first 2 of 6 'Patriot' hostas in the purple-and-white garden. These have green leaves with a wide white margin.
EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted 2 hostas in the forest garden.
EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted the last 2 hostas in the log garden.
EDIT 3/12/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 3/12/26 -- I sprayed weed killer on the sprouting stumps in the parking lot.
I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches. There are many more house finches now than last month.
EDIT 3/12/26 -- My partner Doug found someone to come out and remove stumps from the parking lot, path to the east edge of the yard, and in front of the shed. Also he's going to take down the last two saplings in front of the garage. We have price and a date for next Thursday. :D 3q3q3q!!!
I filled a bag with loose cans and other garbage that had collected in the parking lot. Still more to do, but it's a good start.
EDIT 3/12/26 -- I did more work around the patio.
EDIT 3/12/26 -- I filled another bag with loose cans from the parking lot. I think that's all the small stuff that I can clear quickly.
I am done for the night.

Ethnic Studies
ysabetwordsmithLakota-Led AI Research at Bard College Explores Ethics Through Indigenous Knowledge
At Bard’s Wíhaลble S’a Center, artist and scholar Suzanne Kite is rethinking artificial intelligence through Lakota knowledge—combining hide tanning, beadwork, dream research, and land-based practice to imagine a more ethical relationship with technology.
I'm reminded of Ash coding in ternary for Schrodinger's Heroes.

Wednesday What I'm...
reeby10Reading
- I started reading We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something by Amie McNee. I bought it awhile back bc I follow Amie on ig, but I finally picked it up as hopefully an alternative for The Artist's Way that I can relate to better.
- I started reading Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This is the current book for my work's DEI book club. It's something I've had on my tbr for years, so it's nice to have an excuse to read it finally! It's very interesting, though it is pretty long.
- I read some more on Demon Fish by Juliet Eilperin. Still haven't made it that far, but I am enjoying it so far.
- Ficwise, I'm still mostly reading JunDylan. Currently doing some rereading because I got stuck in a rut of fics that were ok but not satisfying :/
- The roommate and I watched more of MuTeLuv. We made it through the third story, which was thankfully much less gross in the second half. Fourth story was good, though I could have done without the het romance at the end, it really just did not work for me. Fifth story was good as well. It was nice to see JanJingjing for the first time, plus Leng! We've got two stories left now.
- The roommate and I watched more of Running Man Thailand. Second episode was also great. Loving Tay even more :D
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Cat for Cash. Oh, the family drama! I enjoyed that a lot actually. Already got some spoilers for the next episode that make me kind of sad though...
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Duang With You. The relationship is really progressing! Surprising since we're only halfway through, so I can't wait to see what drama there is to come lol
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Only Friends: Dream On. AouBoom are fucking killing it!! I am obsessed with their kiss in the car scene, jfc. The ArnoldTua storyline also has me very interested, especially with fucking Boston showing up and definitely having history with Tua.
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Yesterday. I am sooo curious about what happened with Lalit. Things seem to, somehow, be getting even more complicated on all fronts.
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of My Romance Scammer. Love seeing how much Tim and U are willing to do for their relationships. For U it's working so well! For Tim, well, preview shows it all falling apart and I am dreading and looking forward to it equally lol
- Lots of LYKN. They did the first two stops of their North American tour this week, so there have been a million fancams to watch. Kinda sad about the roommate and I deciding not to do the NYC show (standing room only for the whole theater was just not doable for us), but it is making me even more determined to make it work for the Chicago show in August.
- Nothing.
- Nothing.
- I have started doing some planning for what "courses" I want to study for the next quarter though. So far I'm keeping Thai, with some new resources added, and dropping Japanese for now, since Thai is more of an immediate desire to learn. Otherwise I'm thinking maybe song writing? Or embroidery, since I have a kit? Or drawing? Or something active, like dance or yoga? Or something about anthropology or environmentalism? Idk, I have a huge brainstorming list, so I really need to narrow it down and see what resources I can find.

Poem: "To Understand Water"
ysabetwordsmithThis poem came out of the October 5, 2025 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from dialecticdreamer. It also fills the "That felt weird." square in my 10-1-25 card for the Fall Festival Bingo. This poem has been sponsored by Anthony Barrette. It belongs to the Polychrome Heroics series.

Cyberspace Theory
ysabetwordsmithWhen you're surfing the web & face a tsunami, make home under a bridge along the information highway
I hereby propose the term "The Under-net" (or "The Undernet") to refer to our preparation for and relationship with whatever (if anything) will be left for us in a future Internet dominated by unending, disingenuous, grifting slop.
This is an analysis of what's wrong with the Internet and some things we can do to improve it, as a form of resistance against corporate takeovers and enshittification.
