When ranchers in Utah's Rich County found eighteen sheep killed in March 2022, they assumed coyotes. USDA Wildlife Services flew a plane over the kill site and found something feeding on the carcasses that had only been confirmed in the state eight times in forty years.
It was a wolverine.
Utah sits at the extreme southern margin of the wolverine's North American range. The animal is built for the deep snow and high alpine of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, country above ten thousand feet where the winters last eight months and the terrain rejects everything that is not specifically engineered to survive it. A wolverine showing up in Utah's ranch country was not a routine predator complaint. It was a biological event. State wildlife managers had no protocol for it because they had never needed one.
Biologists set specialized barrel traps near the sheep carcasses. Catching a wolverine in a live trap is considered one of the most difficult captures in North American wildlife management. The animal is trap-smart, solitary, covers enormous distances daily, and operates almost exclusively in terrain that humans struggle to access on foot. The odds of a wolverine walking into a barrel trap were close to zero. The next morning, a sheepherder found one of the trap doors dropped. Inside was a healthy, twenty-eight-pound male, estimated at three to four years old.
It was the first wolverine ever live-captured by biologists in Utah's history.
The team sedated him, packed his body in ice to keep his core temperature stable during the examination, fitted him with a GPS tracking collar, and released him into the deep snow of the Uinta Mountains. For researchers who had spent careers studying an animal they almost never got to see, that collar was the first real-time data source on wolverine movement the state had ever produced.
The data that came back over the next twenty-five days confirmed what wolverine biologists in other states had documented but Utah had never been able to verify on its own ground. The animal logged over 195 miles of travel in less than a month. He did not drift south toward lower elevations or leave the state. He locked into the high peaks of the Uintas above ten thousand feet and ran massive looping circuits through avalanche chutes, rocky ridgelines, and snowfields deep enough to bury a man standing upright. The daily distances he covered would qualify as an endurance event for a human athlete on flat ground. He was doing it through the most physically punishing terrain in the state, in winter, alone, at elevation, without stopping.
The eighteen dead sheep that started the whole sequence were never repeated. The wolverine moved into the high country and stayed there, operating in a landscape so remote and so hostile that the only evidence of his existence was the GPS signal pinging coordinates from ridgelines that no person had visited in months. The collar proved what the forty years of scattered sightings could only suggest. The wolverine was not passing through Utah. It was living there, quietly covering nearly two hundred miles of frozen alpine rock in less than a month, completely invisible to every human being in the state.

So one year ago today I published my first polytrix fic, And they were all into that.
Since then I've published over 620,000 words across 120 fics in that fandom. On average, about 1700 words per day, or a daily NaNo word count for a full year, but this doesn't count unpublished writing and WIPS so it's a bit higher than that ;)
It really did help me. I love to create and for awhile before this movie lit a fire in me, it felt like pulling teeth. Being able to create, and especially with characters that I feel strongly about, is something that helps keep me going.
As [Mikoyan] declared in a January 1936 speech: “I am a great supporter of the production of ice cream. Certain comrades believe to this day that ice cream is merely a children’s treat, and is of no use to grown-ups.” At this point Mikhail Kalinin, who was in attendance, exclaimed, “But everyone loves ice cream!” Mikoyan replied, “They love it, but some shun it out of hypocrisy, because they believe it’s just for kids. The production of ice cream needs to be expanded as much as possible. I am lobbying for ice cream, because it is a very delicious and nourishing food.”

Happy disability pride month especially to disabled people who shouldn't be working full time/at all but haven't been able to access any aid to stop working, or support other ppl who also can't work. You deserve a break, proper support, and you are worth so so so much more than your productivity
I wanna write badminton AU solely bc world class badminton players polytrix having a kid who grows up to become a pickleball pro is so fucking funny to me
polytrix frantically trying to keep their baby away from racket sports the same way canon polytrix wants to keep their kid(s) away from becoming hunters, but ultimately failing bc pickleball is taught in PE and also extremely popular where they live
Polytrix baby reminding her moms of each other (Zoey's relentless physicality, Rumi's swag and hand skill, Mira's height (lol)a)
Polytrix trying to be the exact opposite of typical sports parents—no pressure, no hovering, encouragment without expectations—but also fighting the valiant battle of trying to hide how much they wanna scream WHY PICKLEBALL
Also major salt abt how much PB pros make compared to badminton lol
So it turns out you don't need to write the main fic of an AU to write a self indulgent snippet. Crazy.
(the 80hds is barking y'all)
"We should do it."
Rumi's expression is flatter than her tone.
Zoey buries her face in her hands with a sigh. "Should we? It's probably just a pha—" her hands slide down and she groans loudly "—oh my god that sounds like my mother."
Mira soothes her wife with a gentle hand through Zoey's hair, "It's not the end of the world, jagi."
"Ughhhhhh," Zoey whines pitifully, "We should've put a racket in her hand as soon as she started walking." She huffs. "She's so athletic! She could do so much better than pi–"
The front door rattles open.
"Eomma-man-mi!" A bright voice shouts from the entryway, "Jeo-wasseoyeo!!"
"Wasseo?" Zoey's expression flips like a switch as she leaps up from her seat to hug her daughter, "Did you have fun?"
Ha-jin vibrates in her mother's embrace. "Yeah!!" She stops squirming long enough to accept her welcome home forehead kisses. "We got to play for free!" Ha-jin bounces on the balls of her feet. "And a bunch of ladies wanted to play with halmeoni!"
"Did they now?" Mira smirks at the older woman entering behind Ha-jin.
Celine replies with a cold glare—then immediately replaces it with a placid smile as Ha-jin turns back to her.
"Yeah!! They wanted to help her play! Like this!" Ha-jin mimes putting her left hand on someone's hip and rotates through a forehand swing.
"Lovely." Rumi says drily before softening her tone, "Ha-jin, it's almost time for lunch. Let halmeoni give you a bath and we can eat together after."
"Okay!!" Ha-jin zooms towards the couch to peck her mothers' cheeks, "Mwah! Mwah! Stinky kisses!" She dodges Rumi's retaliatory hair ruffle and Mira's cheek pinch, then sprints up the stairs. "Gotta go fast!!"
"Did she even play at all?" Zoey returns to her seat and chuckles softly, "She's still got a full battery."
"Yeah, eomeoni," Mira's shit eating grin returns, "Did Ha-jin get sidelined by grannies flir–"
"Ahem." Rumi clears her throat abrasively.
"Yes, jagi." Mira ignores Zoey's imitation of a whip cracking.
"If you must know–" Celine starts.
"I really don't." Rumi grumbles under her breath.
"–it was all perfectly professional instruction–"
Mira snorts.
"–Yes, Mira. Women can play doubles without lusting after their partner. I know it's a foreign concept for you–"
"Hey." Rumi warns.
Celine sighs and apologizes to her daughter. "Mianhae." She turns back to Zoey, "But yes, Ha-jin played plenty of matches. And whenever she wasn't playing, she was messing with one of those…what are they called? Plink masters?"
"Dink master." Rumi replies hollowly. "Dinking. They spend all their time playing net and call it dinking."
"Yes, that." Celine continues breezily. "Honestly, a lot of the club members were very impressed. Called her a natural." She raises an eyebrow at the stony expressions on her daughters' faces. "Right. Well. I'll go make sure Ha-jin isn't mixing all the bubbles together again."
Zoey sags into the couch and cradles her head again. "Our daughter is a natural. At pickleball." She turns to Mira and shakes her shoulder. "And she's already started doing drills! On her own!!" She face plants into Mira's chest with a dramatic sob.
"Yeah…" Mira rubs Zoey's back, then frowns gently. "You're not…actually upset, are you?" She glances at her other wife. "Right? We agreed we didn't want to push Ha-jin into badminton."
"I'm not…" Rumi sighs and pinches her brow. "I can't say I'm happy. She's so competitive, and I don't want her to…"
Zoey and Mira nod knowingly. Out of the three of them, Rumi was the youngest when she started competing.
Zoey tilts to rest the side of her head on Mira. "I'm not mad either, really." She sighs. "I know it's so petty, but…" Zoey groans quietly. "Pickleball? It's so slow."
"But it's what she likes, aegi," Mira kisses Zoey's hair. "And we're in a unique position to support her."
"It makes sense financially, too." Rumi grins wryly. "The market is open—people are paying ridiculous prices for court rentals and lessons. Expanding the club would pay for itself in a couple years. Sooner if we get decent coaching staff to run some classes."
"Or be the coaching staff," Mira nudges Zoey. "C'mon, you love building new programs."
"She loves naming them," Rumi teases.
"…the PB&J program," Zoey mumbles reluctantly, "Pickleball and Jim."
"Thats awful, jagi." "I hate it already."
Zoey grins at her wives' disgust, then settles back into the couch. "So we're really doing this?" She looks at Rumi. "The numbers work out?"
Rumi nods. "We'll have to dip into our savings, but the renovations won't be nearly as expensive as when we first set up the club."
"And you're okay, too?" Zoey asks Mira.
"I–" Mira hesitates. "Yes. I'll be okay."
Mira's wives turn to her abruptly, though Zoey is the first to speak. "Jagi?"
Mira blinks, eyes starting to become glassy. "I'll get over it." She sniffles. "I just… a part of me always hoped she'd want to share the court with us."
Rumi reaches out to rub Mira's thigh. "She does, jagi. It might not be a badminton court, but you know she'd leap at the chance to play with us."
"You're right." Mira tangles her fingers with Rumi's with one hand and wipes her tears with the other.
The three sit quietly together, trading casual touches until Mira stiffens with a scowl.
"We're not adding a court to the yard," Mira hisses, "She's the light of our lives and treasure of our hearts, but if she makes me listen to that popping all day–"
"You'll buy earplugs because you can't say no that girl." Celine interrupts. "Don't worry," she adds when Mira's face pales, "Ha-jin didn't hear, she's still upstairs. She wanted to clean and 'mod' her paddle. Whatever that means."
Mira blows out a sigh in relief.

Local badminton club, Taeyang, picks up pickleball
8 year-old Hajin Ryu becomes world's youngest pickleball pro
Record breaker Hajin Ryu wins US Open at age 9
"My moms played rock-paper-scissors." Hajin Ryu wins her second US Open after switching doubles partners
Three-peat! Hajin Ryu wins third US Open in a row with yet another doubles partner.
"I'm the hard carry." Hajin Ryu, 12, discusses double-crown in singles and winning her 4th US Open in a row with her grandmother."
---
Notes:
Ha-jin calls Mira, Rumi, and Zoey Eomma, Maman, and Mami respectively, so she calls for her Eomma-man-mi when she wants all three
Ha-jin won her first US Open with Mira, the second with Zoey (she lost rock paper scissors lmfao), and her third with Rumi
Rumi enjoyed playing PB the most out of polytrix
It is canon to this AU that Celine is GILF bait at pickleball clubs. They all wanna show her their 3rd shot drop if you know what I'm saying
If it wasn't clear from the text:
Rumi didn't want Ha-jin to suffer through competing in pro sports at a young age
Zoey, who has an extremely explosive and fast play style in badminton, worries that Ha-jin's athleticism is wasted on a slow sport like pickleball
Mira is both the least and most bothered—she's able to appreciate that PB is what makes Ha-jin happy, but feels like she's losing something that they could have bonded over (she was hoping Ha-jin would develop an interest in badminton organically)
Celine has reached her quota of fucking up kids with badminton. Also very grandma of her to indulge Ha-jin in contrast to the pressure she put on Rumi lol
I am not Korean nor have I taken classes, have mercyq
i feel like people aren't getting how dire ai is. we are running out of drinkable water. our brains aren't engaging as much with what we see and hear. people near data centers don't get clean water and experience electricity blackouts. it's being used to make pornography of underaged people and women. it often just lies. it affirms everything. it lies. it has made people kill themselves. it lies for gods sake. and people act as if im dramatic for being staunchly against it. 'now i KNOOW you hate ai and whatever, but look at this cute video' this isn't me being a new age puritan about internet videos, this is about the fucking earth and our future living on this planet. people are suffering now, people will suffer more, and my friends and parents will roll their eyes and think im annoying for despising ai so explicitly. we need to wake up because we cannot live like this
