I wanted to be spooky, so I posted Storied asks 'Why Does A Ghost Whale Terrorize The Japanese Coast?' An Earth Month ghost story, then I wanted to laugh, so I posted 'The Daily Show' Celebrates Earth Day by Tackling Climate Change.

I'm sharing another person's comment on Why Does A Ghost Whale Terrorize The Japanese Coast?

Sometimes creating a legend is the best way to get people to show respect. In the 1970s Volcano National Park in Hawaii had a problem with people taking volcanic rocks home as souvenirs. It was at this point a park ranger created the legend that anybody who takes a rock from the island would be cursed by the god Pele. Every year, the park still gets rocks mailed back.

I tell this story every semester in geology, although I read on Snopes that it was a tour bus driver who came up with it. Just the same, I first heard this story when I was a Park Ranger, and I know the rangers tell it, even if they didn't originate it.

GOOD NEWS: I FAILED SOME TESTS )

Anyway, over Spring Break I went to see a diabetes educator who does basically all the education for insulin pumps-- my mom has been seeing this same educator for years, maybe decades? And probably my grandmother saw her too, but I'm not about to text my mom this late at night to check. We went over a handful of options, and decided I would get the same kind of insulin pump my mom has, the Medtronic 780, because it fits my management style and my general treatment goals. Since dropping the glipizide, I've also upped my long-acting insulin and I have a scale and ratio to calculate how many units of insulin I should take at meals. All of that plus the DE telling me I should be taking my insulin 15-20 minutes before eating (whereas before I'd take it right as I sat down, or after I finished a meal), I've actually doubled my time in range? So that's fucking amazing.

idk. I'm just. I was first diagnosed with diabetes and started insulin 7 years ago, but it was always the kind of diabetes that doctors expect to resolve itself and go away (gestational, T2), and I knew I was going to end up a Type 1 and that I needed to be managed like one, and it's just nice to finally be at that point on my journey.

Still not sure how to count it exactly, though. Do I say I've been diabetic since 2018 (gestational), 2020 (T2 + endo) or 2025 (T1 + pump)? I'm probably going to go with 2018, just because that's when it all Got Real, and even when my diagnoses kept changing, I never really stopped being diabetic, you know?

But yeah. Happy to have some good answers, finally.

Uhhhhh it was meant to be Agatha All Along fic recs but then a Wandavision one snuck in. Anyway I keep seeing fic rec lists and going 'wow! all of those sound boring and awful and like the fics were written for a totally different show!' so I made my own. Alphabetical order by title, minimal warnings, these authors almost certainly have other good A3 fics that I didn't rec, yknow, all the Kimara Makes A Rec List staples. Weirdly weighted towards smut, to an extent I wasn't expecting.

allow my love to find her brutal way to me. agatha all along, agatha/rio, billy, mrs hart. 9.1k words, rated e. by [personal profile] thiswildernessismyhome.
Rio just wants one conversation with Agatha. One. And if she has to trap them both in a time loop to make it happen, so be it.

Fic that made me think 'yeah okay I'll believe the show's version of Nicky specifically so I can read this fic reacting to it'. Which is not a thing I thought I would ever say, but here we are, the Rio voice in this is that good.

body of work. agatha all along, agatha/rio. 38.k+ words (wip), rated e. by [archiveofourown.org profile] gnawingsuspicion
Throughout history, Agatha Harkness has left behind no shortage of casualties. As her power and body count grows, she catches the eye of Death herself.

Fic that doubles and triples and quadruples down on YES Agatha's an unrepentant mass murder and YES magic is super fucking weird and YES Rio is Death is also not human. Still a WIP so possibly will lead to regrets later, but eh, the first seven chapters are probably one of my favourite backstories for them I've seen.

don't give it a hand, offer it a soul. agatha all along, agatha/rio. 2k words, rated e. by [archiveofourown.org profile] HenryMercury
The sweet things she says are always bait.

Road sex ft asphyxiation.

So it turns out, when you get to the bedroom, there's nothing fucking there: you should've expected as much.

Have rec'd before will rec again this is one of THE defining Agnes-spell fics, all unsettled memories and identity grief, and menstrual sex.

the kindest thing (is to never leave you alone). agatha all along, agatha/rio, alice/rio, agatha & alice. 4.3k words, rated m. by [archiveofourown.org profile] spillentireuniverses.
In the cabin, Rio faces her biggest obstacle yet: a genuinely good person. (or, the time loop fic where Death drags Alice Wu-Gulliver, rather unwillingly, back to life)

Rio doesn't understand how she can eat Agatha whole. Rio makes this Alice's problem. Alice is not Not okay with this despite her best efforts.

until next time. wandavision, agatha & wanda. 3.8k words, rated t. by [archiveofourown.org profile] mothersquared.
One day Agnes woke up and went to the square. Every day Agnes woke up and went to the square.

Pyschological horror (psychological fun!) in the immediate aftermath of Wandavision, ft Wanda facing the consequences of her own actions.

I decided I'd rather watch Katy Perry blast off in Blue Origin today than do all the work posting this would entail, so I wrote Vox asks 'Are your fingerprints really unique?' instead.  Later.

Back after a while, thought I would spruce up my journal, quickly discovering that I have no idea how to create icons that look good on a 1440p screen. 😂
