    Today is cloudy, mild, and damp.  It rained yesterday, and probably more last night.

    I fed the birds.  I haven't seen much activity though.

    I put out water for the birds.

    EDIT 6/7/25 -- I did a bit of work on the patio.

    It's been spitting or drizzling for much of the day, and is picking up again now.

    EDIT 6/7/25 -- I put out more food for the birds.

    I've seen several sparrows and house finches, a catbird, and at least one mourning dove.

    The 'Mr. Stripey' tomato has green fruit.  :D

    Philosophical Questions: Looks

    [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith
    People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.

    Would the world be a better or worse place if everyone looked the same?


    Much worse. It would be difficult to tell people apart. That would require doing something to make artificial distinctions, which has a lot of drawbacks. We know that problems occur when people are difficult or impossible to distinguish, because those things happen under conditions where people's normal distinctions are obscured. One of the most common is that it runs up the crime rate, because people are more likely to misbehave when they can't be punished because nobody can tell for sure who did it.

    Fandom: Discworld
    Pairing/Characters: Tiffany Aching, Granny Weatherwax
    Rating: General
    Words: 1420

    Author's summary: It was the sort of cold where - if you were out in it for too long - you went right around in a circle and started to feel warm again.

    She was distracted from these thoughts by a "Caw!" from high above. She had barely seen the raven before her hands were out in front of her.
    "Thunder on my right hand. Lightning in my left hand. Heat above me. Frost below me."

    Rating: Teen
    Words: 19,552

    Author's summary: Reg and Visit are drawn into a mystery at the heart of Ankh Morpork's undead community. Why would a lifelong black-ribboner suddenly try to kill his landlady? And why have his ashes mysteriously disappeared? With the rest of the Watch focused on a threat to the new underground rail network, Reg and Visit will need to work together to solve the case, because if the two of them can't manage to put aside their differences, somebody's going to get away with murder...
    Author's notes:
    Q. Why is this fic like the Ankh-Morpork coat of arms?
    A. They were both supported by hippos.
    This fic is dedicated to the good people of #Yuletide: Doranwen and Fran who dropped ropes when I fell into my own plotholes, SteelNeko who came up with one of the OCs, Kurushi who agreed to beta-read despite an impossibly tight deadline and TL whose gentle command of "This is never going to be finished on time, you need to start writing an alternate fic NOW" is the only reason I'm not perma-banned from Yuletide.
    But most of all it's dedicated to my recipient, who has the patience of the saint and whose prompt basically amounted to "One's an evangelist, the other's a zombie; together THEY FIGHT CRIME!" which is clearly the most awesome prompt in the history of Yuletide.

    My comment: (Chapter 5) "I don't suppose the dwarf symbol for "mine" resembles a circle with a horizontal line through it, by any chance?"
    (Chapter 8) "Kinda love that Visit now basically has one of those things you get by laying a penny on a railroad track. (Don't do this, kids.)"
    Quote:
    'We're in the middle of a heatwave and Detritus has never been particularly swayed by debate even when his brain's at a reasonable temperature.'
    'Yes, but we can't just walk away.'
    'No.'
    'Oh.'
    'Yeah.'
    'Stoneface is going to go absolutely Bursar.'
    'Well, if you want to let a murderer get away because you were afraid of getting in trouble.'

    Blind skateboarder creates 'world-first' adaptive skatepark: 'I've never had a place where I can skate with full confidence'

    About seven years ago, he started dreaming of creating the world’s first adaptive skatepark right in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan.

    Finally, the park is a reality.

    Called “The Ranch,” the 5,000-square-foot skatepark is completely accessible, allowing both seasoned low-vision boarders to take it for a spin and newcomers to the sport to feel welcome.


    Everyone should have access to opportunities for physical activity and creativity.

    Someone mentioned efforts to increase use of offal.  The much simpler way to get more people to eat organ meat is to present delicious recipes using it. This is easily accomplished by scouting cuisines that already use a lot of organ meat, such as soul food or some Asian cuisines. Use everything but the squeal!

    Cloudward, Ho! is the newest Dimension 20 campaign of actual-play D&D with its classic cast of comedy improvisers. This one is an aeronautical adventure set in a steampunk universe, about a motley crew who set out on a quest in search of a lost continent and the expedition that disappeared before them. The first episode just came out yesterday, and I really enjoyed it!

    I fed the birds.  I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

    I put out water for the birds.

    EDIT 6/5/25 -- I put out more food for the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a mourning dove, and a fox squirrel.

    EDIT 6/5/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.  This included putting a piece of mosquito dunk into the red birdbath.

    EDIT 6/5/25 -- I walked around the yard a bit.  Everything is still pretty wet.

    The 'Lemon Boy' tomato has green fruit.  :D

    EDIT 6/5/25 -- I pulled weeds along the strip garden.

    As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.
