I can’t believe we’re already in February! We both slept in this morning.

I did two loads of laundry, hand-washed dishes, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, baked chicken for the dog’s meals, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, changed kitty litter, and showered. I made those cheese sausage things for Pip’s supper and had leftover chicken and gravy on bread (hot chicken sandwich?) for mine.

Pip blew out other paths and I actually went on some longer walks today! A .35 and .50mi as well as a .25 instead of all three being .25. Instead of .75 total, I got in over a mile today because of that! I was very pleased with myself because I didn’t think it would be spring before I could mark off the .50 mile walk and over 1.00 mile day on my bingo card, lol!

I had Cinnamon Plum tea again today. I read fanfic (someone wrote ~124,500 words of Heated Rivalry rodeo AU!!!) and watched House Hunters International and Zoo Tampa.

Temps started out at -0.2(F) (it might have been lower earlier, but we didn’t see it) and reached 16.0. There was sun, and while it was good for my mood, it didn’t warm anything up.

Mom Update:

Mom sounded good when I talked to her. She said her energy levels aren’t any better, so I guess it’s all mood. She had a good food day (a variety of foods that all settled well), and my brother and Sister A had visited. She was expecting Sister S, as well. We talked a little longer because she didn’t sound like she was fading, which is good.

Over 500 Million Years Ago, Early Vertebrates Had Four Eyes That Could See 360 Degrees

Every mammal, every fish, every vertebrate (creatures that have a spine) has two eyes. It’s been that way for millions and millions of years. But maybe it wasn’t like that forever.

During the Cambrian, when evolution was experimenting all sorts of strategies, early vertebrates may have had four eyes, and they were high-res eyes, too.

probablybadrpgideas said "spell that halves your hitpoints but never kills you, a la zeno's paradox," and I immediately had to try to make that work. Here's what I came up with:

Zeno's Diminishing Dichotomies
5th-level Illusion

The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a success, the target takes no damage and the spell ends. On a failure, the target loses half of its current HP and must repeat the save at the end of each of its turns for the spell's duration. On a failure, the target again loses half of its current HP. On a success, the spell ends.

Damage from this spell can never take a target below 1 HP. If a target fails a save while at 1 HP, the spell does not end, but the target takes no damage from the spell that turn.

Components: V, S, M (a fragment of tortoiseshell)
Casting time: 1 action
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Range: Touch (in true Zeno fashion, be prepared to argue with your DM about whether it is in fact possible for anyone to actually touch anyone else, since the person approaching must first reach the halfway point between the two, etc., etc.)

Some thoughts:
- I made it an illusion spell because it's based on a paradox. I was thinking that it's an int save because the target is trying to see through the paradox...but since seeing through the paradox would, here, be realizing that HP is not infinitely divisible and thus it's possible to be killed, that doesn't make perfect sense.
- I think making it a 5th-level spell (in 5e) is fair because (a) there's no guaranteed damage on the first turn (unlike, e.g., Immolation, another 5th-level spell), so you risk burning your spell slot for no payoff; (b) it's a touch spell; and (c) legendary resistances severely limit its utility against really powerful targets. That said, I could definitely see an argument for 6th level. (The 3.5 spell Avasculate, a 7th-level spell which reduces the target's HP by half once, has the caster make a spell attack rather than the target roll to save and isn't a touch spell; you also get a lot more higher-level spell slots in 3.5 than you do in 5e.)

Thoughts? I'd love to hear any opinions on this or suggestions for improvement!

My plan today was to get a 20 lb bag of rice from the local farmers market, and then take BART to the other side of the hills and bike "the three bears" aka Bear Creek loop. However, the rice vendor said they didn't send him any big bags of rice this week, and I saw on the BART website that they were trimming vegetation between the two BART stations I needed and single-tracking the trains, so I didn't want to do that.

Instead, I decided to bike to 99 Ranch the long way (over Grizzly Peak) and get rice there. I texted a friend who lives up that way that I would get there approx 1:30 and did he want to meet up. It was a gorgeous day for a ride, sunny and just warm enough not to need a jacket.

Biking over the hill and seeing the flowering plum and cherry and magnolia trees is a touchpoint of the year for me. I was distressed last year that I missed spring hill rides entirely because of my injured ankle, so it was a treat to see all the flowering trees today, even if February 1 seems unreasonably early.

My friend and I texted each other updates from our respective journeys and did manage to meet up. I got to 99 Ranch at 1:28 after 2 1/2 of riding, so I was pleased about estimating accurately (without a mapping app). I got a 20 lb bag of rice for $12.90 instead of $40 at the farmers market, with the cost of a long beautiful ride and hauling it home (the flat way) for 7 miles. I'll take it!

I also spotted some Sterilite ClearView plastic storage drawers on the sidewalk with a FREE sign when I was fairly near home. They were the old style ones similar to the ones I have. I had looked for more online and now they only sell stacked units, not single ones. So I stopped and picked one up and strapped it to the back rack. I'll have to scrub the top of it, but it's nice to find something that's not available in stores.

Happy Imbolc to all!

I have ambitions of writing up monthly music roundups. We'll see how long I last, lol.

First, to make sense of my music listening at all (and reading, and movie watching, and...) it's important to know that my brain ties media really closely to the season and the weather, so whatever time of year I first read/watched/heard that thing, that's when I want to do so again. At this point I'm familiar enough with how this works that I can explicitly identify music that will make my brain happy for various scenarios. "Cold and sunny? Time for Endless Summer Vacation again."

Themes of the month
1. Women of hip hop! I returned to my old favorites Glorilla and Doechii (discovered January 2025). I also listened to a TON of music by other artists. I went through several Megan albums, Cardi B's most recent album, and then spread out and explored albums by a bunch of newer artists like Monaleo and KenTheMan.

2. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants by Oasis (discovered January 2020). It turns out my fancy earbuds combined with being able to download music in higher quality means I can hear more things. In fact I found out in January why "Fuckin' in the Bushes" has that title. Overall this will never be an absolute favorite, but Gas Panic and Where Did It All Go Wrong are always great, Roll It Over is solid even though it was better live, and I guess I'm warming up to Go Let It Out. Also I don't care if Put Your Money With Your Mouth Is is nonsense fluff, it's a vibe, don't @ me.

3. Love and War by Fleurie, an album apparently designed specifically to make fanvids to, or possibly to use for end credits. (Or even to get sampled by Kendrick Lamar, just to cross some streams.) I first heard it in December and listened to it some more this month. Is "cinematic emo soprano" a genre? Great stuff.

Top artists (by # of streams)
1. Oasis
2. Megan Thee Stallion
3. Glorilla
4. Cardi B

Favorite songs:
* girl, get up by Doechii featuring SZA. This one really grew on me: that mellow beat, SZA singing the refrain on the chorus, and of course Doechii doing her thing. "I'll address it on the album." Yesssssssssss, I cannot WAIT.

* S/O to Me by Latto. I'm really conflicted about this one, because I love her flow and the theme of forging her own path, but OTOH the whole verse about how she doesn't like women and specifically doesn't want to hear about "post-partum or menopause" feels pretty gross. A very mixed bag. Still one of the songs I listened to the most this month.

* Accent by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Glorilla. Dark heavy beat with very silly subject matter. Just a fun time.

* Wrong One by Glorilla featuring a bunch of other female rappers. Glorilla and her girl group!! Again, just fun.

New artist to follow:
YK Niece, entirely for Goin On and specifically the "way way bigger" line. I love it so much.

Once again I woke up at 10:00 and went back to sleep. Not so long today though, only til about 12:00.

Anyway, I had breakfast and coffee and then tried to go to the Starsky and Hutch creative work session. It was a nightmare with the computer. I would get in, freeze up entirely. the computer wouldn't load, pages would go unresponsive... I ended up restarting the computer multiple times and logging out and signing back in even more often. I hate this computer.

Finally though I got in with a stable connection, and had a good time. I even got some writing done.

We chatted til somewhat after 6:00 and then got off, and at 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB. That worked out better.

We talked for a little over an hour, then got off, and at 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is fine, got his hair cut yesterday, and is looking forward to Groundhog Day, and Valentine's Day.

Then I figured out how to deposit the money that John and Denise Zelled me for the cottage account and also deposited my first installment of what I owe on the cottage for the year. Then I emailed everyone about it.

Then I had dinner, and went to the bedroom and called

mashfanficchick about possible plans for tomorrow. I called the Kid too but of course she didn't pick up.

Then I fed the pets, late, and started here.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.

3. I finally got the computer working.

4. The cottage, expensive as it is.

5. Friends.

6. Family.

Maple Syrup: 40 Tried & True Recipes
Paperback – Lay Flat, February 11, 2020
by Corrine Kozlak (Author), Kevin Scott Ramos (Photographer)

Today we finished reading our first cookbook of the year. \o/ We bought this just a couple weeks ago at the small farm show. Our friends at Golden Ridge Farms had their maple root beer and also these cookbooks. I had just seen a different book that was mostly history and only a few recipes, so when I spotted this one, I pounced on it. The front matter includes a table of contents, Preface, Tree to Table, Maple Syrup History, How Maple Syrup Is Made, Maple Syrup Grading, Sugar Shack Fun, Do-It-Yourself Maple Syruping or Backyard Sugaring, and Cooking and Baking with Maple Syrup. The recipe chapters are Breads and Breakfast, Entrees, Sides, Sweets and Desserts, Appetizers and Beverages. The index in the back does include both ingredients and titles, but is not greatly detailed.

correcting things people think they know about history, you'll soon learn that a perennial topic is "Yes, people drank water in Medieval Europe", followed closely by "They took baths too!" And yeah, they drank a lot of ale and wine... but people today drink a lot of alcohol too, and for much the same reason - we like it! Or if we don't like alcohol we like soda, or coffee, or tea.

People in the middle ages did understand that some water was safe to drink and some wasn't, and they went through considerable lengths to bring clean, potable water to their towns. Not that most of them lived in towns, but in this case, living further from town is a bonus. Less people = less poop.

(Also, while there are other waterborne illnesses, cholera in particular didn't leave India until the 1800s, well into the modern period. I'm not sure it even existed prior to 1817. Please stop telling me earnestly about Snow and cholera in London. Totally different time period, totally different situation, totally irrelevant.)

Anyway, this just popped up on my feed yet again today, and it suddenly sparked a question in my head:

If people supposedly didn't drink water because they didn't want to get sick, what did their animals drink? Surely nobody thinks that medieval peasants were giving their cows and pigs ale? Or do they think that non-human animals are so hardy that they aren't at risk of waterborne illness? Or maybe that people just didn't care if their animals died, like every sheep isn't wealth, or at least a source of food and wool?

(I'm willing to bet that nobody has an answer to this question, but that if I ever ask them, should it come up in the wild, they'll be annoyed at me!)

It remains below freezing, and I remain inside most of the day. I got my laundry done by going to the basement and I spent a little time at the gym by walking down the block to get to the relevant building. Other than that, it's not just been inside my building, but inside my apartment. There's not much desire to get out and head around right now, especially not with a day as slow as a Sunday. I had the possibility to make it more rapid, but I hadn't gotten myself together early enough in the day to spend three hours at the movies far downtown - a screening of Short Cuts - and I'm doing what I can to tell myself it'll come back around sometime.

That said, staying close by got the laundry done, got me to the gym for one of those "something is better than nothing" sessions, and got some lunch prep done, so I can live with that.

Among the better things in life: a cat sleeping next to the laptop while I'm eating dinner.

Sadly he really dislikes the sound of me typing next to him, to the point that he woke up and got bitey. So now I am on the couch with the laptop and he's having a bath on the table.

1.) Yesterday we hosted an playreading brunch with a fun group of friends - may it be the first of many more! This time we did Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia".

I used to host regular playreading potluck dinner parties years and years ago when I lived in a co-op, and losing access to rooms of a size where 8+ people might cheerfully cram themselves on various chairs and couches and floor nooks with cushions was one of the griefs I carried with me from that co-op's breakup. I'm glad to be restarting now.

2.) Today I had the the mindblowing joy of seeing 'Noli Timere' ('be not afraid') at ArtsEmerson.

Calling it an aerial dance doesn't quite do it justice; you can see the local trailer here or read a great WBUR feature about it here. ("In a time defined by uncertainty and distance, this piece isn’t just about resisting the gravity that weighs on us, it’s about choosing to catch each other when we fall, to carry each other through the invisible webs that bind us.")

3.) We have had an entire week+ of snow on the ground, and a foot of it is still here!

This delights me for many reasons, not least that this means another year of the invading fire ants being killed before they can establish themselves. Every winter we get at least ten days in a row of freezing weather is a winter I heave a big sign of relief.

So, there seems to be something odd going on with Dreamwidth right now -- I can't put account links for more than one community and some of my sentences are actually disappearing when I try, no matter if I use HTML or Rich Text options. Weird. So, no links.

I've been busy busy busy, mostly writing fills for Three-Sentence-Ficathon.

So, how do you go about participating in 3SF? I mostly fill and I find it hard to come up with prompts, although I try to do some. I just go browsing through the pages reading the prompts and wait for one to jump out at me. I usually get an idea right away, then I go and write it. If it doesn't grab me immediately, I usually just skip over it. If I see a rare fandom I'm familiar with, though, I like to try and write something for it, because I know what it's like to be desperate for fic in a non-existent fandom. 3SF is a great way to fulfill those wishes.

pipe bombs in perth

Finally on the 26th of January ("Australia Day"), there was an Indigenous protest march in Perth.

During the march, someone threw a pipe bomb into the crowd. It was packed with metal shards and nails and suchlike. He failed to light it correctly so it didn't explode.

He was white. He was a he. That's all we know about it. And even that was mostly reported by the people who bring online news commentary, rather than mainstream media. (I saw it first with Cheek Media, myself.) You know why? Because "we aren't putting out his name because he is accused of..."

FUCK THAT SIDEWAYS WITH A RUSTY SPORK.

They had ZERO compulsion about publishing the names of the Bondi terrorists.

But a terrorist action done by a white guy? (It wasn't even billed as 'a terrorist action'. Well, excuse me for bloody well thinking that a FUCKING HOMEMADE PIPE BOMB tossed into a group of people who are supporting a particular racial identity isn't 'a terrorist action'.)

Oh no, can't publish his name!

conservatives, right wing, and please let our electoral system hold

In other political news in Australia, our 'right wing' is going down. Hard. Not only is their current leader (she's technically a "conservative moderate" and has lasted since the election) on the way out, but the Racists And Arseholes Party (known more conventionally as 'Pauline Hanson's One Nation') is on the rise - at least in sentiment. Whether that sentiment can gather the centre-to-right-wing conservatives in Australia is another question.

Our holding institutions right now are pretty much the Australian Electoral Commission and common decency, but how long those will hold is another matter. Watching what is happening in the US, being told what is happening by billionaires who own all the media properties, having a point of view RAILROADED through thanks to a lack of media discernment, and general outrage headlines...

I can't see my conservative friends here in my electorate (strongly conservative - one of the very few suburban electorates that hasn't gone "Teal") voting PHON. And they have to vote, and they can vote for the "least worst" option - ie. preferences. Plus, we have a very large percentage of "not born here" Aussies in this electorate, possibly one of the reasons that Old Guy down the road (and a bit further in) has his house decorated with PHON and Trump flags. Yes, Trump flags. In Australia.

Great moogly googly.

Anyway, we know the guy - he stumped up on Election Day 2025, put his little sandwich board up, stuck a plastic sleeve with the "Trumpet Of Patriots" party 'how to vote' card on, and went away.

That sleeve was touched pretty much twice. Once by one of us volunteers for the other parties gingerly looking to see what they'd recommended (even the conservative volunteers were eyeing it like it was fresh dogshit), and then once by a woman from the AEC whose job it was to go around collecting the 'how to vote' cards for each party in each electorate, so that the AEC could archive them.

We left the sandwich board after we packed everything away, and it was gone the next night.

In the end, hard right-wing support isn't non-existent, and probably never will be, but the current state of world politics, where right wing conservative parties get hollowed out by hard right wing racist fucks is sincerely worrying. I've never thought Australia is immune, but it's a worrying trend to finally witness happening, even if nothing comes of it. Grievance politics is hell on the system.

Maybe it mitigates with mandatory enrolment and preferential voting - we can hope - but if it does, that's on the system and the institution, not on anything else. Heaven knows the parties and the politicians are NOT HELPING.

NOT. HAPPY. JAN.

I manage to drop my iPod classic and break the plastic bezel around the charging port :(

I'm hoping that won't become a problem (it still charges and transfers data fine so far). It looks like the part itself is easily found, but I don't want to open my iPod and risk breaking something else in the process. I'm wondering if getting a cover for the port might be a good idea (it seems the main point of the bezel was to keep dust out).
