"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
"I believe I know the only cure, which is to make one’s center of life inside of one’s self, not selfishly or excludingly, but with a kind of unassailable serenity—to decorate one’s inner house so richly that one is content there, glad to welcome anyone who wants to come and stay, but happy all the same when one is inevitably alone."
~ Edith Wharton

MASH ficlet: It Helps, Though
Written for threesentenceficathon , for the prompt, MASH (TV), Hawkeye & Trapper, You don’t have to be crazy to work here. We’ll train you.
Title: It Helps, Though
Fandom: MASH
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: Teen
Characters: Hawkeye, Trapper, Frank, Radar, OC
Words: 178
Summary: The newest doctor to join the 4077th, gets quite an eye-opening introduction to the insanity.
IT HELPS, THOUGH
The first real introduction to the 4077th that newly assigned Captain Drew Weatherly experienced had been an eye-opener, when, in the course of showing him around, Corporal O’Reilly (apparently nicknamed ‘Radar’) had led him to a tent with a sign that read ‘The Swamp,’ and opened the door to a scene Drew was completely unprepared for; a man was sitting on one of the cots with a bedpan on his head, wrapped in a straightjacket, and connected to the cot with a dog leash, while two others sat on cots opposite, sipping from what looked like martini glasses… yeah, there were definitely olives in them.
Drew must have made some kind of startled noise without realizing it, because the curly-headed one spoke up, “That’ll be the last time Frank breaks our still,” he proclaimed, and the two men nodded exaggeratedly at each other.
“Not to worry, we have the training manual around here somewhere,” the dark-haired man said, riffling through a stack of nudie magazines on a rickety table, “You’ll be one of us in no time.”

New Year's Resolutions Check In
We've passed the third week of January. This includes more of the dropoff days: January 17, January 19, and the third Friday.
It's good for people to make their own plans, with help if wanted or needed. Variations of "How is that working for you?" are used to gauge progress. Here's an example from Brief Action Planning with a flow chart. This concept applies to most problem-solving situations, and it's something that anyone can learn to use.
The above approach is a shorthand version of the engineer problem-solving method. It requires following several steps such as defining a problem, brainstorming solutions, testing a solution, evaluating results, and making changes if necessary.

10trueloves: Trust
AO3 Link | To Heal With Trust (200 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Birds of Prey, Outsiders
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Roy Harper & Dinah Lance
Characters: Roy Harper, Dinah Lance
Additional Tags: Double Drabble, +Modern Age (1986-Present), Post-Crisis
Summary:
"Slow and easy, yes, just like that. I have your head, just let your body float," Dinah said, confident and reassuring all in one.
Roy closed his eyes, his body already feeling less sore as he followed her instructions. When she'd shown up, thrown Ollie out, and told him to stay clear, Roy hadn't known what to expect. Now, living with her, Lian occupied by Oracle and Dinah's teammates, he knew he was in the best possible hands to recover.
The hot tub was set just warm enough to pull his muscles loose, salt-tanged for buoyancy, and she had him. She'd never let him fall under, while his body just floated, easing the stress of his physical therapy away. She pushed when they did it, but not so hard as to build injuries, and then… she always took care of him after.
He wasn't going to fail her, or his baby girl, by wallowing in the fear of the near-fatal shots. He would trust her, as he always had, letting her guide him. When he went back out there, he'd be as strong as he'd ever been.
It was just like when she put him back together from the drugs.

Hello Doctor Who fans! I know I can ask this question when we conclude the round, but I wanted to get ahead of the feedback post and ask it while it's still fresh. Can those familiar please let me know if what I have in the tagset in terms of Big Finish Audio is correct? I did a bit of Googling, but I'm admittedly a little lost. (My familiarity with Big Finish Audio is only through tagset approvals.)
In the tagset, we have:
Should all of these remain as separate canons, or should they fall under one big "Big Finish Audio" umbrella? From my understanding, Big Finish Audio is the production company, and these are all different series, much like how Doctor Who 1963 and 2005 are different series (in a way that they're not even different series… Doctor Who is a very complicated canon when you go into the fandom weeds!).
I'm happy to keep them separate, but I wanted to know so I can make any amendments (if needed) and make a note for 2027's nomination guidelines.

Birdfeeding
Today is partly sunny and cold. Heavy snow and deep cold are predicted for the weekend. :/
I fed the birds. I've seen a small flock of sparrows and a male cardinal.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 1/23/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
I've seen a large flock of sparrows and a female downy woodpecker.

Cheese Quest
Today I wanted to stay home from work, so I did. To celebrate myself, I made my favorite vegetarian tortilla soup and ate it with Wisconsin Organic Fontina that I got at HEB (before people panicking over the weather cleared the shelves).
It’s pretty good. It is extremely smooth and mild when you first bite into it, but then you find that it’s a bit crumbly and has a slightly sharp flavor. I actually really liked it. I had it with Hatch green chili pita chips and spicy pumpkin tortilla soup and it was a good combo.
