In contrast to the deep booming sound associated with the cannon in pop culture depictions, recent studies show it actually made more of a 'toot toot!' noise.

Via Monterey Bay Aquarium, which writes:

✨Opal is ready for her close-up!

This confident and curious otter explores the world with her teeth. Behind Opal’s fluffy whiskered face is a powerful bite rivaling the king of the jungle! 🦁

Orphaned Opal was rescued and raised behind the scenes as part of our sea otter surrogacy program. Now this sparkly otter’s making a splash by inspiring conservation and awareness for her threatened species.

We’re working with Opal in hopes she’ll become a surrogate herself one day, giving orphaned pups a second chance at survival by teaching them the skills they need for re-release into the wild. 💙

Mice and Considering Community

There is not enough paper in the world, not enough pixels in the Intarwebz to give me the room to talk about how much I loathe discovering mice in the larder.

Again.

After cleaning and supposedly - supposedly - mouse-proofing one of our two larders.

Again.

So we'll go out and get more coarse steel wool, and we'll drag everything out of the other larder - again - and I swear to every god there is, that I will stuff steel wool into every hole I possibly can, even the ones BB was so sure were too small even for mice to come through. BZZZZT wrong answer. They can.

*Heavy sigh, goes looking for the soju*

A late-night update, because I’ve been on campus all day! But – three fun things to share!

First, my little “Primrose Magic” short story somehow managed to hit the number one bestseller in Amazon’s 45-minute LGBTQ, AND in 45-minute Sci-Fi & Fantasy short reads! Even more neat because it’s been out for a few days now! So thank you!!!

Second, the box set of my three MMM Regency polyamory novellas – As Many Stars, Marked Out with Greater Brightness, and A Thousand Kisses – is out now…in Kindle Select, so it’s Amazon exclusive for the first three months, and then it’ll go wide! We’re testing how that does. So if you want to grab the box set – with a pretty new cover and overall title! – come pick it up here!

Finally, it’s Smashwords sale time! Many of my books are 50% off – come and have a look, and grab any you might not have! And check out our other fabulous JMS Books authors too!

Okay, it’s late and time for bed, but I did want to share! Love you!

Is it maybe a little messed up to put the Mummy reference title on the non-Egypt part? Sure. Am I doing it anyway? Yep.
Old Joe’s words about the well are only partly paraphrased.
I didn’t find anything on the Wabanaki using cairns (several other tribes, yes, Wabanaki no). But the Vikings definitely did, and there was some intermarriage/passing down of tradition there, so cairns being there in TSW is actually plausible.
I figured there was 0% chance drinking from the ‘well of the ancestors’ would be a normal experience for Des.
Beaumont does actually use clones several times during his fight, which made me go “huh” the first time I saw the final Al Mualim fight. Interestingly it’s a normal Chaos power you can buy, which...might end up being interesting when Desmond actually messes with Chaos magic more.
In-game Loki actually ends up the tortured prisoner of the Illuminati somehow. Which can’t be pleasant, but also he’s a trickster, so if they actually have the upper hand is a question we don’t have the answer to.
“You arrogant child!” and Altaïr’s words about the Creed are, of course, from the original.

Main Points: Assassin's Creed/The Secret World

Fandom 50 #1

I'm trying another March to March round of Fandom 50 (the challenge where you try to make fifty themed posts in a year), and this time around I thought I'd focus on Canadian music. As a bit of extra fun for myself, I'm going to try to find one song I love per year from the past fifty years—and as it happens, 1977 gave us one of my all-time faves.

We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time) by Trooper

Challenge 291:
SAFE HARBOR

It’s been a long, dangerous voyage, through storms and rough waters, past obstacles and opponents (sea monsters? Enemy ships? Dimensional portals?). But finally, a familiar sight comes into view, and you know that the worst of the journey is past. You’ve reached a safe harbor.

It doesn’t have to be a literal harbor, of course. It could be the final exit off the highway after a multi-week road trip from hell, or the first sign of familiar houses as you take a well-worn path home after too long away, or the sight of an old friend coming to greet you in a crowd of hostile strangers. The important part is that you know the worst is over; you’re safe now, or close enough.

Write a story about a safe harbor (literal or metaphorical).

BONUS GOAL: When The Gulls Call

If your submission features seagulls, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, March 9 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 291 – safe harbor
• If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here
