Today is cloudy, mild, and wet. It's been raining most of the morning.

I fed the birds. I haven't seen any though.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 6/17/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

The purple-and-white columbine is reblooming in the rain garden. :D

EDIT 6/17/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

We've had a few hours of gap in the rain, but it's supposed to start again soon with possible violent weather. There's a tornado watch until 10PM.

Colorado’s ‘Tamales Act’ Restores Citizens’ Freedom to Buy and Sell Homecooked Food

Colorado’s government has restored the freedom of its people to prepare and sell homecooked food to one another.

Provided they take a food safety course, the “Tamale Act” is expected to be a boost to the informal economy by unlocking the commercial power of mama’s and grandma’s home-cooking.

This is a huge improvement for everyone.

mozaikmage is posting a new webcomic called "Fragmentation."

It's about being a lesbian teenager in a closed Soviet city on the verge of the collapse of the Soviet Union... on the site of the Tunguska event, which causes Strange Things to happen in town and gives the teenage lesbian protagonist glimpses of her terrifying future.

I'm just amused by a lesbian comic set in the Soviet Union. Poke a bigot in the eye!

Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.

What good news have you had recently? Are you anticipating any more? Have you found a cute picture or a video that makes you smile? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your life a little happier?

City parks cool neighborhoods beyond their borders

The cooling did not stop at the park edge. For every 100 meters (330 feet) into the built-up streets, temperatures climbed by more than 0.5°C (0.9°F), a trend that held up to 300 meters (980 feet) from the boundary. Inside the park, the air shifted the other way, cooling by about 0.2°C (0.4°F) for every 100 meters toward the center.

Soheila Khalili is a postgraduate researcher at the University of Surrey’s Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE). “This is proof that the benefits of parks extend far beyond their boundaries. Shaded areas with trees particularly improved thermal comfort during hotter periods of the day,” said Khalili.

This is the first case I've seen where people measured park benefits very closely, especially the temperature gradient. It's very useful if you want to make your city cooler and otherwise healthier...

Thousands Donate to Help Nebraska Ranchers Who Couldn’t Feed Their Herds After Wildfires Burn Every Acre

A few months ago the largest wildfire in Nebraska history burned a thousand square-miles of ranch land. It burned every foot of grass on Mike and Kayla Wintz’s 11,000-acre ranch.

But when they and their neighbors faced the threat of losing their livelihoods, something remarkable happened. Thousands of anonymous donors stepped up from across the U.S. The Wintz ranch alone was gifted $80,000 worth of hay—from mostly anonymous donors.

This is a generous response to the disaster, but there's more to the backstory and the developments in upcoming months.

"The God Box"

Clouds,
in a thousand shades of gray and blue,
purple and cream and palest peach,
some rolled long like bats of wool,
others thrusting like tufts of fur plucked upwards,
some clumped like great fistfuls of cottonballs,
others feathered into mare’s-tails combed thin by the wind,
some spun into smooth sheets of satin,
others still in little rills like waves coming in,
or scalloped like seashells and fishes’ scales,
all seen in a single sky,
as if God had gotten to the bottom of Her craft-box
and decided to use up all the loose ends at once.

Notes:

This poem was originally published in PanGaia Summer 2003. Today seemed like a good time to post it here, because it was that kind of sky again.

The 2026 OFMD Big Bang is underway!

The OFMD Big Bang is an annual writing challenge for the Our Flag Means Death fandom.

Authors will complete stories of 10,000 words or more over the course of four months, and these stories are claimed by artists who create works to go along with the story.

Final stories and their accompanying artwork will be posted over the course of several weeks (depending on the number of works). At the end of the bang, all story links will be compiled into a masterpost.

The OFMD Big Bang event is about collaboration and shared delight - taking joy in our shared love of Our Flag Means Death and its celebration of the value of loving, kind community and found family! We welcome you whether you are an author, an artist, or simply a lover of beauty who fancies fine fics and art.

Author sign-ups are open until June 30th, artist sign-ups are open until August 22nd, and beta sign-ups will remain open throughout the challenge. More information is available on the challenge's FAQ and schedule.

I am writing a thing for this, which I can't talk about publicly (because it has to be anonymous when artists are choosing stories to create something for), but I am having a lot of fun with it so far. I really struggle with longer works, by which I mean anything above 500 words, but I am full of ideas and determination. I hope anyone else interested considers joining in.

Woman Who Rescued Injured Crow Keeps Getting ‘Thank-you Gifts’ from Other Birds

In a story that will make your beak drop, a Canadian woman has received a series of ‘thank you’ presents from a whole murder of crows after she took the time to rescue one from a gutter.

As Leah Wilson walks down the street, the superstitious among the neighbors might draw their blinds. Her steps herald the beating of black wings, as the carrion birds follow her every move.

I was instantly reminded of the various legends about the Crow Husband.
