The ACLU sent me a text
Apr. 20th, 2026 08:30 pmAbout their fight against the racist War on Drugs.
It includes what looks like a tea leaf emoji? Whatever sort of leaf this is, it’s not marijuana, even I know that. Maybe no emoji at all would’ve been the better call….

Critical Role
Apr. 20th, 2026 08:18 pmMy plan to play catch-up on Critical Role is going well so far. I've managed at least one episode a day since I started CR4 from the beginning last week, which seems to be a good rate for me. It's enough to keep me steadily moving forward but not enough that I'm suddenly feeling the urge to just give up because it's taking away my time for other things.
At the rate I'm going, I think that I'll be caught up on my rewatch by the end of the week at the latest, and I'll be able to start making my posts about new-to-me episodes again by this weekend. I'm hoping by the first Thursday of May, I'll be able to start watching live again, but it may potentially be the week after that as the earlier one will require at least a couple of days where I'm fitting in two episodes. Which may or may not happen.
Here's hoping that I can stick to it. 🤞🏻

Challenge 513: Amnesty
Apr. 20th, 2026 04:22 pmOur new challenge is our eighty-fifth:
During amnesty challenges, you can post works for any of the challenges we've had to date: ( Complete list of prompts )
See the Community Report for a sortable list of prompts.
Both reports have a random "Any Challenge" button, and the Creator Report also has a random "Unfilled Challenge" button.
Of course, you're always welcome to post multiple works to any challenge if you finish them before the challenge closes, but that isn't always possible. So dust off those unfinished works and half-formed ideas -- now is the time!
In amnesty rounds, include the challenge you are posting for in the subject line of your post (eg, Blanket: Heated Rivalry: Fanart: If on a winter's night).
Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Friday, May 1st. No sign-up required.
Mods will tag your work for fandom. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.
All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.
You can view stats for
fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details. Please let us know if you have any trouble accessing the reports.
Also, keep an eye out for the next
ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the comm yet, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Remember, posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

The Jewish War: First half of Book 6
Apr. 19th, 2026 09:32 pmLast week: Sieges are awful. Josephus tells us that Titus really totally felt bad about all the awfulness (even though he didn't stop them) and there is a theory that maybe by "us" he meant "Berenice." Titus had dancing boys?? (Josephus does not mention any, sadly.) Does Samuel the Lamanite in the Book of Mormon owe anything to Josephus speaking truth to the wicked? Unclear. Talmud on the Sages vs. the Zealots as an interesting correlated story to Josephus. Poppea's complexity including both an interest in (conversion to?) Judaism as well as being ruthless; comparison to Constantine's much better press.
This week: The temple is destroyed.
Next week: End of Book 6.
