Nominations Clarification #2
Jun. 6th, 2025 11:23 pmjustmarriedmod posting in justmarriedexchangeGentle reminder to disambiguate relationship nominations (add the fandom name in parentheses behind your nomination). This will help us approve your tags faster.
The tagset currently has nominations for both North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell and North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell|UK TV. Nominators, would you rather keep book nominations and TV nominations separate (in which case I will duplicate nominations currently under the umbrella tag into both sub-fandoms), or would you rather combine them under the single Gaskell|UK TV tag?
I've already heard from the book-only nominator (thank you).

Birdfeeding
Jun. 6th, 2025 04:58 pmysabetwordsmith posting in birdfeedingToday is cloudy, warm, and damp. It drizzled a little last night.
I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 6/6/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 6/6/25 -- It rained off and on today.

Summary:
Blurb taken from Falling for Her Rival, by Jackie Braun
For chef Poe Dameron, it's time to turn up the heat. Three years ago he hit rock bottom. Now he's ready for a comeback, starting with winning a TV competition to secure a spot running New York's trendiest kitchen! He just didn't count on his attraction to rival Armitage Hux burning a hole in his plans…
Hux has worked his apron off for this opportunity, and total focus on the competition was the plan — which is difficult when all he can think about is wanting his opponent out of the kitchen and in his bed! But there can only be one winner, and sometimes, to win, a guy has to play dirty!

Catholic school 1940's Quebec
Jun. 5th, 2025 07:17 pmtimemidae posting in little_detailsHi!
I've been reading up on the historical Catholic school system in Quebec, and I've gathered that until 1960 there were commonly Catholic schools that were supported by public funds (officially ended in the 90's). I've been able to find the names of some of the girl's schools, but haven't been able to easily find the names of any of the mixed or boy's schools below the high school level.
Anyone know any specific schools that could have served a 10-year old, working class, Catholic boy in Montreal or Quebec City ~1940?
Thanks!
