The Pedlar
Apr. 1st, 2026 10:38 ampoliphilo Thinking about pilgrims brought this painting to mind.....
It's the work of Hieronymous Bosch- and it's known as The Pedlar or the Wayfarer. I think The Pilgrim would be as good. Bosch himself didn't call it anything (that we know of.) A second, cruder variant version of the same composition is painted on the back of his triptych The Haywain- and is what the viewer sees when the wings are closed. This version was apparently painted on the back of the right hand wing of the triptych of The Seven Deadly Sins and Four Last Things.
Like everything of Bosch's it's not just a picture. It's also a mystery.
A riddle asking to be read.....
A raggedy man is making his way through the scenes of life. He observes. He is detached. He doesn't belong. Everything in the picture has meaning. The building is probably a brothel and stands for the temptations of the flesh. The troughing pigs stand for greed. The owl is wisdom, the magpie is thievery. And so on. In the distance is a gibbet.
Those who know the Tarot will notice how closely The Pedlar resembles the card called the Fool- another raggedy man with a beastie at his heels.....

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.

Than Longen Folk
Apr. 1st, 2026 07:48 ampoliphilo "Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages..."
When we had that session the other day where twelve of us sat in a circle and took it in turns to say a few words about who thought we really were I found myself saying I thought of myself as a pilgrim and that the Pilgrim's Progress is one of my favourite books. This surprised me a little. What I had thought I was going to say was that I was an observer- but I didn't let drop that word at all. And The Pilgrim's Progress, is that really one of my favourites books? Yes, actually, I suppose it is.

Reading Wrap-up 3/26
Apr. 1st, 2026 07:26 amvamp_ress posting in booknookAgain, managed four books this months. Throughout the month I've been working my way through "Lonesome Dove" (and I'm still not finished) and since this is such a chunk of a book it took up a lot of my time.
Twardoch, Szczepan: The King of Warsaw. Amazon Crossing. 2020.
On a technical and literary level this was excellent and very interesting. Twardoch does a lot with narration and POV here and I won't say more because it would be spoiler-y. But if you like this kind of stuff, think about picking up this book. Unfortunately, the plot wasn't my cuppa. It's set in Warsaw on the eve of WWII and follows Jakub, an enforcer to the city's mobster boss. And I'm sorry, but I don't like stories about the mafia. It just doesn't interest me thematically. I didn't mind so much that this novel is full of (gratuitious) violence and d***s being cut off. But the mafia angle was a hard no. (Also a lot about the friction between Poles and the Jewish population in Warsaw, as well as working class and socialist fights. This is taking place at a very interesting time in Poland. You can read this without knowing a lot about Poland, but you'll have an easier time if you have a basic idea of the time period. The German translation I read had a bit of historical context in the end - can't say anything about the English edition, though.)
Everett, Percival: Dr. No. Picador. 2023.
This wasn't an overly successful read either. This was my first book by Everett. His name was on my radar and I know everyone was in love with "James" and "The Trees", but "Dr. No" was the book that was available at my library. So that's the one I read. And well, I'm not sure that this is a story that needed to be published. It's a satire on every James Bond movie ever and in truth, "Austin Powers" is the safer bet if you want something like this. Because at least "Austin Powers" is funny. "Dr. No" had about one joke (Everett riffing on the titular "nothing") but he played that note for 300 pages. So while this was kind of funny and kind of interesting in the beginning, I couldn't wait for the last 100 pages to be over. And nothing I read here will stay in my mind (ha ha).
Forster, E. M.: Maurice. Penguin. 2005.
Amazing. This was breathtakingly beautiful from beginning to end. I read "A Room with a View" a few years ago and remember liking it fine. It was a good book but it was missing that one secret ingredient that elevates a novel to all-time favourite status. "Maurice", in contrast, has that ingredient and I already knew in chapter 1. And yes, this is the novel that was only published postumously because of its rather controversial nature. And I can understand this. I don't know how much of this is biographical in the strictest sense, but it's evident from the get-go that this is a very personal, even intimate novel. Forster really goes deep here without ever being navel-gazey - something autofiction nowadays never manages. He doesn't only look at his own (or, as the case may be, Maurice's) homosexuality but at British society as a whole. He makes some very scathing remarks towards society and England's class system. In short, I loved this book and have since then put everything else he's written on my TBR.
von Arnim, Elizabeth: The Enchanted April. Vintage Classics. 2015.
This started out so good. It's about extremely bored English wives who decide to get away from it all by renting an Italian villa. It read a bit like "Fried Green Tomatoes" in the beginning, like a story that wants to show how incredibly boring and useless and repetitive being a wife can feel when you don't have any agency. I expected it to turn into a story about female empowerment in which these women free themselves from their lives and husbands and do something totally different and fun. But then, once they're in the villa, and when the reader expects them to come to some sort epiphany in regards to their lives, von Arnim turns this around and it develops into chick lit. Suddenly, men are everywhere and the women realise that life is really boring without men. And then the book ends. I must say this left me totally non-plussed and I felt kind of cheated out of a good book. The authors language is beautiful - a bit flowery, but I found her prose engaging. But she stabbed her own plot in the back, IMO.

Spotlight on Omegas at AO3
Mar. 31st, 2026 10:27 pmsnickficOmegas are the glue that holds us all together, providing the essential social lubricant needed for our society to function—and yet they are often maligned and treated as lesser-than. This April, we are changing part of our logo to highlight omegas as part of our commitment to the inclusion and wellbeing of our omega volunteers and users.

A song in a different language:
Oh, come on! Damn near every song I love lately is in a different language!
Takes deep breaths to calm down
I will take this as a challenge, however. Let's try to find something that isn't in Korean or Korean and English. I don't know if I can -
Oh. OK. I found one; I remembered it. And it's one I love.
"Waters of March" by Antonio Carlos Jobim (also known, although I didn't know this until today, as Tom Jobim) is a bossa nova favorite of mine, partly because of the simple yet sophisticated music and the very striking English words - a litany of good and bad things that come together in the end to be about "the joy in your heart" after all those good and sometimes very bad things.

The State of the Ficcery: March 2026
Mar. 31st, 2026 09:38 pmstonepicnicking_okapiI feel rather...untethered. Unmoored. A little anxious. A little depressed. A little tired. A little bit hyper-fixated. A little bit distracted. I have been thinking about routines and their importance (and limitations). And about the nature of discipline, will power, and all of those things, habits. Mindfulness (or lack of it). I forgot to do some regular things I do (like Music Monday!) and it's spring break so the boys are home and I'm still down work hours. I've been eating a lot of raw cookie dough, which is a bad sign.

It's just two updates of my BTS soap opera. I haven't done any other writing this month. No fills for any comms. Sadness. April is National Poetry Month and I have a horrible feeling I will not be doing it justice this year. I can blame the state of the world but it isn't just that.
Reading: 7 books, which is not bad actually.
Crafting: Only one spread and four cards.
Health & Fitness: I did manage some of the workouts of my new program, but I can't seem to convince myself to do the calorie tracking. I got a year subscription to MyFitnessPal so I could do the barcode scanning. and make it easy on myself, but I am not using it at all. I did manage 16 days of Yoga with Adriene and 3 days of jogging a week. I feel like stretching needs to be a non-negotiable daily thing because when I don't do it, even for a day, I have a tendency to skin back into feeling like shit.
Personal: April is Minor's birthday which means...he's fifteen...which means...learner's permit (driving!!!) And he's going away on his first overnight school trip ever. Gosh. It's going to be a lot.

Mar. 31st, 2026 07:57 pmshadarasHello, I exist, life's been busy and I've been tired.
1.
I read all of Witch Hat Atelier (up through ch94, for future!me's reference if I ever think to check), which means I have more than hit the point where it's like "oh! there's the part where this story is about trauma metaphors!". But also all the bits that make me cry are the bits about the kids talking about how much they've learned from their friends and how they can stay true to themselves and their dreams and how magic is for bringing joy and life to the world, so. The part of the Angsty White-Haired Man's life that's about him going "teaching is the most rewarding thing I ever could've done" is the part that interests me, not the "oh THAT'S how we're making visible the childhood trauma that defines you" part, y'know?
2.
Some more MOUSE (this fic does have a title, and eventually I will finish it)
3.
The weather is SO WEIRD this week? It's in the high 60s F every day EXCEPT Thursday, where it drops back down to MAYBE 40F at the highest, which is lower than the lows the rest of the week. It is also closer to NORMAL NEW ENGLAND EARLY SPRING than the high 60s F.
Today, at least, I have not had any headache from pressure changes! Which is nice, since yesterday I was grumbly about it and I have ever expectation that I'll be like "ughhhh" about it the rest of the week.
4.
Work is doing Bullshit, but when they tell us only the broad strokes of their plans for Bullshit and it mostly makes everyone go WTF, I will await further specifications about how exactly it'll manifest. (They want to go to short weeks. This is... them playing a game with what they're contracted for and how many hours they have available. I am very curious how many people are going to go "fine, lay me off then" instead.)
5.
I think it's very funny that I'm like "right, I should post, say hi, etc" on Trans Day of Visibility, a day that I keep forgetting that it is.
anyway hi I'm trans when I think it's useful to use that term, guess I'm visible today or something?

Some more MOUSE (this fic does have a title, and eventually I will finish it)
[Rhei stands] next to Mouse, gazing at the city they’re moving away from. Its buildings are beautiful, it rises gracefully from the water, and it stands so proudly against the sky. Many of the rich and powerful of the city might have made ugly choices, and continue to make them, but the majority of its people are just that: people, doing their best in less than ideal circumstances.
And they look at Mouse, who made the bravest choice they could make, and who doesn’t seem to quite realise the enormity of what they have chosen and how rare it is to be able to do.
It is nothing like anything Rhei has ever done, a kind of choice Rhei doesn’t think they’ll ever need to make, and Mouse was willing to sacrifice their whole life for not a promise but a chance at something better.
Rhei can’t help but admire that.

Madness and Obsession
Mar. 31st, 2026 07:05 pmyourlibrarian1) I tried out the new season of Mad About You. Although it's become vague over time, I remember watching the series with my partner in the 90s. Although I did find the show entertaining, I think part of the appeal was that we were a new couple then ourselves and just a little older. So it was interesting to see how the relationship was handled in the show. That may also be why the new episodes are just irritating me. ( Read more... )
2) Not sure what anyone can do about this new ban on non-U.S. made routers since that would seem to block any from being purchased. Perhaps a small concern given all the blazingly huge ones right now, but this is not an administration that thinks ahead about anything.
3) The MCU's Wonder Man did not grab me. I've liked Kingsley's Slattery since his first appearance in the MCU. It seemed so wonderfully against type casting. I was really glad he had reappeared in different ways. So I'm delighted to have him back in a major role. ( Read more... )
4) The Count of Monte Cristo was a slow climb for me. ( Read more... )
5) It seems I am clearly not going to become either a knitter or a crocheter. ( Read more... )

Age: Too old for high school, too young to retire!
I mostly post about: I've only posted personal journals so far, but I'll post about some of my interests soon! I like kpop, animanga, danmei novels, fanfiction, visual novels, chatsims, and lesbian movies! I'll also post progress on my knitting projects (if I remember haha)!
My hobbies are: Running, dance, creating art, going to concerts, and knitting! I'm tying to pick up crochet too!
My fandoms are: A Date With Death, Guardian, Killer Chat!, PMMM, BBC Merlin, and way more that I can't recall on the spot!
I'm looking to meet people who: Post! I'm not picky and I'm not easily upset or disturbed! I love to see what other people have going on! I'll be double happy if you post about your fandoms (even if we don't have any in common), but it's not a requirement! <3
My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I get to it! Hopefully at least once a week!
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I'm not cool with any form of bigotry. I won't tolerate that! Zionists are also not cool! I'm with Palestine all the way! <3
Before adding me, you should know: I'm a transmasc lesbian! I know this identity is a bit controversial, so don't add me if it's something you have issues with ^^;

pepysdiary_feed[continued from yesterday. P.G.] …and to that purpose I lay long talking with my wife about my father’s coming, which I expect to-day, coming up with the horses brought up for my Lord. Up and to my office, where doing business all the morning, and at Sir W. Batten’s, whither Mr. Gauden and many others came to us about business. Then home to dinner, where W. Joyce came, and he still a talking impertinent fellow. So to the office again, and hearing by and by that Madam Clerke, Pierce, and others were come to see my wife I stepped in and staid a little with them, and so to the office again, where late, and so home to supper and to bed.

And March is over too! A quarter of 2026....
Mar. 31st, 2026 09:46 pmdadiThe usual seconds.
It is snowing again, obviously. Gah.
In other news, I had my visit with the orthopedist and he did a throughout exam of my back and decided, instead of another shot in my spine to give me one into the bad hip. The back pain has improved so much that now it is better to do something for the hip, so I am able to walk better without limping.
I am really glad I changed doctor, this one is so much more attentive and also, knowledgeable about EDS, which the other one wasn't and didn't take stuff seriously.
I also got prescribed more physiotherapy. Yay!
The hip steroid dosage was also lower than the back one, so I should have less side effects. Also yay.
And tomorrow I don't have to go to work, triple yay :)

I am really glad I changed doctor, this one is so much more attentive and also, knowledgeable about EDS, which the other one wasn't and didn't take stuff seriously.
I also got prescribed more physiotherapy. Yay!
The hip steroid dosage was also lower than the back one, so I should have less side effects. Also yay.
And tomorrow I don't have to go to work, triple yay :)
