Jan. 30th, 2021 02:11 pmWow, two posts in two weeks? It's almost too much!
Work is busy, mostly due to tourists who can't go overseas for holidays. It's okay. I haven't murdered anyone. Yet.
lilacigil and I have been making strata with our leftover bread, thanks partly to
kass mentioning it, and also to seeing Sohla El Waylly make it on
Food52 . One of the positive things that came out of the Bon Appetit collapse was getting more Sohla content. She's great. Also strata is great - it's like a savoury bread pudding that you can put all kinds of things in. A really good way to clean the veggie crisper drawer in the fridge. We're doing ours with broccoli, frozen peas, mushrooms and spinach. And a mix of feta and shredded mozzarella.

I found a bunch of new shows to listen to in this list.

I just really love how much people care about the rovers. It's a small joy.

lilacsigil pointing me that way:
Rihanna’s January/February Essence Cover Is REALLY Cool
Okay, another thing I enjoyed in 2020 was the way magazines got really inventive with their cover art, whether it was by helping the celebrity to do their own photographs at home, or by doing stuff like this.
olivermoss has a post on the Gamestop/Reddit situation that makes a lot of sense to me:
I am opinionated on the stock market and on social media

It's gorgeous. And I am calling her Dr Biden forever, because people were such assholes about it.

dine but also everywhere, because Shantytok is everywhere
Nathan Evans Wellerman Family Tree — shantytok mashup/supercut
This is my favourite supercut, because it has dancing. Also, because non-Aussies might not know, the ship's name, the Billy of Tea, is referring to a metal bucket you make your tea in. You hang it over the campfire, when it's boiling, you chuck in your tea leaves, and when it's steeped you swing it in a circle to settle the leaves. Thus: Swinging the billy to settle the leaf tea
theficclub is a bookclub for fanfic. They're collecting recs for the February theme here: Soulmate-Themed Recs Wanted (Fic Club February Rec Call)

poi_fanworks I run a Person of Interest bookclub, which will kick off again in February.)

corvidology
Post about things you love in February. I'm going to try to do this! I love the simplicity of it.
flash_fiction - a new community for drabbles/double drabbles/triple drabbles and flash-fic under 300 words. Weekly prompts here.
fan_flashworks - I should also point out this, which is an all-fandoms multi-media flashworks community. I always mean to write for the monthly prompt but somehow never manage to do so.
starspangledbigbang - a tumblr-run big bang for Team Cap characters of the MCU (linked because I have a Bucky fic I wrote for NaNo in 2014 that I really, really need to finish and post.)
snowflake_challenge is running right now, and also
sunshine_challenge is going to run mid-year
homemade2homemade is running this year. It's an exchange for handmade crafted good. I've signed up this year, yay! I'm excited. Sign-up are open!
halfamoon is a 14 day celebration of women in fandom, from the first to the 14th of February. There's a bunch of prompt tables at the prep post:
