Swatch Wednesday: Teranishi Guitar Brilliant Mint https://curiousity.ca/2026/swatch-wednesday-teranishi-guitar-brilliant-mint/ It’s gotten warm enough that I didn’t have to worry about ink freezing in the mail!

Snow Mountain Robin
A fairly small, localised bird of bare, rocky slopes above the treeline on certain peaks in the Snow Mountains.

Unmistakable in its habitat. Voice, some harsh rasping notes.

Wait they made an IRC nail polish
At this point, does it count as a trope in fiction when the writer writes a self-insert that turns out to be unintentionally great Autism rep and eventually the reason the writer gets an official diagnosis?

As seen in the wild, this was too funny not to share.

Tonight's thought to be done with before I can sleep: The prominence of advertising as a ubiquitous predatory practice necessitates teaching kids *as young as reasonable* to fortify themselves against it the same way we say "be wary of strangers."
We have people who have been asking, since they were toddlers "why does paying money make it okay for someone to lie to me?"

Inappropriate Use of ABBA #ao3 #ArchiveOfOurOwn #fanfiction
I intentionally say "Move slow and fix things" as the rejection of "Move fast and break things", as opposed to the more popular "Move deliberately and fix things".
Because I want, very specifically, for *slow* to be seen as a virtue. Slow gives time for people whose entire life focus isn't what we're working on to react to changes, provide feedback that change is breaking things for them, participate in consensus process moving forward.
A lot of us want to use whatever space we have outside to help our local wildlife, even if it's just a few pots or a bird feeder. That's great - they could certainly use the help. But even with the best of intentions, we can make mistakes that do more harm than good.
My latest for Sierra magazine is all about the pitfalls of backyard habitat, and how to avoid them.
