Well - it was a very little rain.

RAIN!

Clair Patterson - Wikipedia

Thirty years ago today, the scientist Clair Patterson passed away. He campaigned tirelessly and effectively to remove lead from gasoline, paint, pipes, and food cans. The drop in violent crime that correlates with this change? Massive.
Science hero.

You too? Did you see the one wherehe was starting the foundations?

oh! and some of the history / recreation adjacent channels
(Gesiþas Gewissa channel, blumineck, dashrendar etc)

I find british hedge laying and greenwood crafting videos good as well.

👍😁

I learned that lesson as a small kiddo and dad took me out for a cleanup check.
"See this smoke on bare ground? It's smoking because a tree root is burning underground."
Scared the willies outta me.

Similar.
The fiction I have been reading is generally fantasy/fantasical of one kind or another.
Almost everything else I find triggering as too close to what is actually happening. I seem to need the extra 'space' between the current dystopia that is real life and mental relaxation.

Watch your back - and the rest of the team.

These sterling silver earrings each carry two Czech glass beads. On top is an aqua melon-ribbed teardrop in clear glass, and on the bottom is a spiral in mixed transparent aqua and opaque green glass with a purple mottled finish on the whole bead. If you shine UV light on them, all the beads fluoresce in green, though only the opaque glass in the spirals will actually fluoresce. See other photo for example. Uranium glass is nifty!

"Sanctuary In the Spiral" earrings: more fun with uranium glass! See photos for glow.

Sadist!
.... hmmm ... I have a cold pepsi in the fridge - do I have any of the bourbon I got last year left?
Doubt it will help with the writing - but its worth a try, right?
Time to go dig in the pantry

Give me a Gnome among the gum trees,
with lots of plum trees . . .

It is driving me insane, I swear.
I know what needs to happen. I've got the ducks all lined up and quacking happily.
They're just facing the wrong way (so to speak).

*sigh*

Going to eat an apple.
Hoping the boost to blood sugar/distraction will kick my brain into working.

Santos has notched up its 10th consecutive year paying ZERO tax in Australia. I’m tempted to change my name to Santos Limited by deed poll, and dare the ATO to come after me. At $200 bucks, it could be the most sensible investment open to me, and I get to trash my backyard into the bargain. #auspol

Oh yes.
Very yes.

It is also wierd reading it and going 'hang on, I'm sure I've used that phrase before', spending 20 minutes searching, and then realising yes you did - in the snippets kept for later notes (and later used in the story right here).
How to drive yourself insane.

I love her series of retellings - re-envisionings?
Nine goblins 💝
Then the's Digger, and (oh lordy!) the 'children's' series of Hamster princess, White Rat series . . .

*I'll be in the corner admiring quietly until further notice.

You and Mrs K need more days suffering like this
😉

Pretty lady :)

Seconded!

Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.
