So today, America's craziness reached a new frenzy...

What’s Happening in Venezuela? Start Here

US forces struck multiple military and civilian targets in Caracas and nearby cities, and captured Maduro. Here’s what we know at this point.

Sovereign countries are not supposed to violate each other's borders or leadership, outside of properly declared war; and that's largely about defense because war of aggression is also forbidden at this time. But people have largely quite caring about those rules, which is a growing problem.

dusting off this journal, so i thought it’d be fun to make some fandom friends…

name: stel

age group: young adult, think mid-2000s

country: the usa

subscription/access policy: feel free to subscribe if you jive with me and what i post! i tend to subscribe back if we have shared interests. i don’t have access-locked posts at the moment, so no policy there as of yet.

fannish interests: mostly undertale/deltarune. i like making + viewing fanworks (art, fic, webshrines). i’m also a big selfshipper!

i like to post about: mostly ramblings about my life and the stuff i’m thinking about, which usually aren’t super deep or consequential. i just like to yap and share :]

about me/other info: i’m gen-z and that’s quite apparent in the way i talk and the things i talk about! i’m not very good at talking to people, but i do love to chat. i’m queer and really not a fan of gen-ai for art/writing/etc. i don’t like to participate in ship discourse—i do think there’s value in exploring darker themes in fiction, but i’m less comfortable when this is done with the intention of glorification.

This poem is spillover from the June 6, 2023 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from

mama_kestrel. It also fills the "Main character has to use odds and ends to fix a problem" square in my 6-1-23 card for the Kinky and Unusual Situations Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with

fuzzyred. It belongs to Marionettes thread of the Polychrome Heroics series.

Warning: This poem contains intense and controversial topics. Highlight to read the warnings, some of which are spoilers. It includes reference to past injuries, reference to traumatic loss of teammates, volcanic activity, traumatic stress, human trafficking, surprise baby, moving to a new home, dramatic scars, attachment, and other challenges. If these are sensitive issues for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before reading onward.

Fossilized bones are revealing secrets from a lost world

Tiny chemical clues trapped inside ancient bones are revealing what animals ate, the diseases they carried, and the environments they lived in.

Researchers have uncovered thousands of preserved metabolic molecules inside fossilized bones millions of years old, offering a surprising new window into prehistoric life. The findings reveal animals’ diets, diseases, and even their surrounding climate, including evidence of warmer, wetter environments. One fossil even showed signs of a parasite still known today. This approach could transform how scientists reconstruct ancient ecosystems.

That which is small can still hold volumes. :D

Today is partly sunny and cool.

I fed the birds. I've seen a large flock of sparrows.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 1/3/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 1/3/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 1/3/25 -- I filled a trolley with sticks from the brushpile beside the driveway, then dumped that in the firepit.

I saw a flock of mourning doves in the ritual meadow.

EDIT 1/3/25 -- I filled another trolley with sticks, then dumped that in the firepit.

As it is getting dark, I am done for the night. It's 4:50 and still twilight, a big improvement over 4:30!
