jalopnik_feedTopping your car up with the wrong fuel is one of the worst mistakes you can make. Here's what happens if you put diesel in a gasoline-powered vehicle.

Buffy: (quietly approving) I like the lights.
Faith: Yeah. Well, 'tis the season. Whatever that means.

ysabetwordsmith posting in goals_on_dwHow to Get Ahead on Your 2026 Content Planning -- Simple Wolf Media
If you’ve ever hit January and thought, “I should really post something…” but had no idea what, or where to start, you’re not alone.
Whether you run a small-town business, offer services, or manage a nonprofit, content planning can feel like one more thing on your list. But here’s the good news: December is the perfect time to do a little prep work so your Q1 marketing doesn’t feel like a scramble.
A few simple steps now can save you time, stress, and the weekly “what do I post?” spiral later.

yuletidemods posting in yuletide_adminAt push of button, this year's Madness collection has 227 works in 183+ fandoms.
AO3 wranglers have processed a lot of new fandoms; in the main collection, the 992 that appeared on the fandoms page at reveals have become 1065! Thanks to everyone who has helped make wranglers' jobs easier by using canonical tags, tags from the tag set, or other recommended tags, as appropriate in each case.
If you've written in a new fandom that isn't wrangled yet, we encourage you to use Unspecified Fandom as a tag to help people find your work; many works originally tagged this way now have wrangled fandoms, in which case, you can take the tag off if you wish.

mrkinchLast night was wild, rain and gusts to 50 mph, but this morning has been mostly clear, if still windy. I made another water check: better but very much not there yet. No one was on the only visible pond but there were ducks flying around, looking for places to come down. The obscured pond(s) out in the brush must have some water as I heard American Wigeon and several small flocks of Canada Geese rose from that area. Not sure about submitting a list for fourteen species. ( Fourteen species )
I drove out to the Bay by the sadly long-closed Berkeley Pier but saw nothing on the choppy water. I also stopped briefly at Seabreeze Market Cove. It was just about low tide and I wanted to check out the mud bar. There were a handful of Dunlin, a few Least Sandpipers, and two Whimbrels, always fun. The ducks seemed to be all Mallards, and the gulls mostly Ring-billed but also Western and California. Didn't see anything exciting, but I didn't sort through them thoroughly. And now the wind and rain are back.

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

"[Thanos in the movies] is a different character [from the comics] in some ways, but not that many. A lot of the gentler moments he had in the movies are right from the comics. He and Gamora have always had a very tight, unusual and complicated relationship." -- Jim Starlin
