Today's Cooking
Today I'm making Edwards family meatloaf. :D This should go well with what's left of the tomato-basil bread, which is about half gone now.

September Stampede - Day 11
So sorry - I thought this month was going to be difficult, but I hadn't expected posts to be this far apart.
If you've been using the table and tackling something each day, feel free to tell us all about it today. If not here's the table and pick up with today's (or any other day that suits) and tell us about it when you can - use this post until I manage to get up to speed enough to make another one.
Wishing you well for the month and remember the aim of the month's challenges is that most can be adapted to fit what you need so if it says a 'flat surface', any type of flat surface will do - desks, worktops, floors, tables and so on. Similarly a vertical surface could be a window, a tiled wall, mirror or door.
This is supposed to be a low-stress challenge - if you miss a day, it doesn't matter, if the day's challenge doesn't suit, repeat the day before or start on the next day's. With the exception of two days, the challenges should take about 10 minutes, if you want to spend longer that's great, judge by your personal available time and energy.
To make it easier to take part and not be held up by time differences and days when I'm not able to post, all challenges will be posted in the table below the cut to aid both those taking part and the daily poster.
My biggest request for the month is that, whenever you can, you join in the chat - even if you haven't done the day's challenge come and cheer for others. We're here for the ups and downs this month so you can tell us when you're struggling as well as celebrate your successes.
( Daily Challenge Table shown below the cut )
And so today's challenge is to spend 10 minutes dealing with food.
Good luck and have a great September.

Birdfeeding
Today is cloudy and warm.
I haven't fed the birds yet.
There were lots of sparrows and house finches at the red birdbath though. The honeybees drained the small metal one again.
We walked around the yard listing things that need to be cleaned up or cleared out, since a tree service left us a flyer. :D At minimum we want to get the two downed tree-sized branches removed. Hopefully we can get the parking lot cleared of brush and a path re-established to the east edge of the yard. Maybe something else. They're willing to break down the quotes for sub-projects so we can figure out what will fit into our budget.
EDIT 9/11/25 -- I fed the birds.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 9/11/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 9/11/25 -- I did more work around the patio.
EDIT 9/11/25 -- I watered the irises, patio plants, and old picnic table garden.
EDIT 9/11/25 -- I watered the new picnic table garden, septic garden, telephone pole garden, and savanna seedlings.
I picked 2 red cherry tomatoes.
EDIT 9/11/25 -- I sowed 2 pots with crabapples.
I did some work around the yard.
As it is now dark, I am done for the night.

US Politics: COVID-19 Vaccines for Everybody, Fuck RFK Jr.
Siderea's post on the subject, which points out that there are more "exceptions" that allow people to get the vaccine than there are people who are too healthy to qualify under the rules as written.
Your doctor can write you a prescription for one even if you are perfectly healthy and your only issue is wanting to stay that way. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom.
Don't let RFK Jr. win! Get your jab!

nautilus_feed) wrote2025-09-12 09:50 amDoes Musical Taste Narrow with Age?
As our own personal timelines shorten, so too does our list of favorite tunes. At least, that’s what a group of researchers in Europe suggest. The scientists propose that as we transition into adulthood, the world of music opens up, and we seek out new genres, artists, and styles. But as we continue to age, our listening habits narrow, our explorations tending to be more informed by our personal histories.
“When you’re young, you want to experience everything,” co-author Alan Said, computer scientist at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, noted in a statement. “You don’t go to a music festival just to listen to one particular band, but when you become an adult, you’ve usually found a style of music that you identify with.”
Said and his colleagues arrived at this conclusion after analyzing data from more than 40,000 users of last.fm, a platform that allows listeners to share their musical tastes as curated by streaming services like Spotify. Crucially, when someone registers on last.fm, they can enter their age, giving the researchers a way to connect listening habits to age. For the study, the team considered 15 years worth of data that captured more than 540 million plays of more than 1 million distinct songs.
The researchers found that younger listeners tended to seek out diverse musical inputs, but as people grew into middle age and beyond, they became more beholden to a narrower band of music, often with nostalgia as a central refrain in their listening. While older folks continued to seek out new musical experiences to some degree, they frequently returned to the musical styles that defined their youth. “Most 65-year-olds don’t embark on a musical exploration journey,” Said added. The scientists presented their findings at an international computer science conference in June and recently posted a version of the paper, which is not yet peer reviewed, on the pre-publication site ArXiv.
The trends that Said and his co-authors reported may help fine tune and customize recommendation algorithms that suggest music to listeners on popular streaming platforms, such as Spotify or YouTube Music.
The study is also a welcome reminder that there is a virtually boundless universe of music out there, more accessible to contemporary humans than at any point in history. That makes for unprecedented opportunities to challenge these proclivities and discover a new and exciting song, no matter your age.

Lil Nas X
I'd been kind of waiting to post about this to see if there was word if he was alright or not, which it sounds like he at least has support, which is good. The whole thing is very upsetting, and people have also been having some very bad takes.
Basically, the rapper Lil Nas X seems to have been having a mental health thing, got the cops called on him, and is now arrested on truly B.S. felony charges. I hate everything about this, especially the person who filmed him at a vulnerable moment and (probably) sold that film to TMZ. Fuck that person. Fuck TMZ, also.
Some takes from Black youtubers about homophobia in the Black community, especially in hip hop (which is not saying that the Black community is uniquely homophobic!)

On the other prickly paw, I am still failing to get up to a proper swing at the essay review - keep niggling and picking at the bit I've already done.
Partly due to Interruptions happening.
Also partly due to not sleeping terribly well this week for some reason.

Discovered today that I had somehow acquired an ebook of recent work on subject I have had far too much to do with and had totally forgotten about it. Looking up an area of Mi Pertikler Xpertize, o dear, a number of niggling Errours.

Attended a webinar the other day where someone claimed that a certain class of records did not survive in respect of the lower orders on account They Could Not Write, and I was more, no, it's an issue of preservation, what about those postcards that I spoke about on a TV programme once - but that is such an annoying story, what DID happen to the cards after the filming? - apart from the flaunting of Being Meedja Personality, so decided not to raise my virtual hand.

Theme: Food & Cooking, Cultural Differences, Family, Fluff, Modern AU, Slice of Life
Summary: In which Sizhui and his Baba ice a loaf of bread for Father's Day (plus some angst, but we don't really have to get into specifics do we?)
Author’s Notes:
something i wrote while having writers block
enjoy
(also stay safe and wash your hands and quit going outside if you are)
this isn't really asian rep it just happened when i was 10 and i typed for two hours also its may and here we are with a fictionalized crackheaded version of what happened
yes there were mean girls
… lan zhan's the one getting the cake because his personality's the closest to my dad's but like my dad cut off the frosting and we ended up using the bread for other stuff
Reccer’s Notes: The Chinese-American author posted this anonymously on 8 May 2020 for U.S. Asian and Pacific Islander Month, apologizing that “this isn’t really asian rep”; given that the canon creator is Asian, her target audience is Asian, the characters are Asian, and the OP is Asian fictionalizing their Asian family’s real-life experience, I personally don’t see how it can avoid being Asian Rep.
The author’s self-consciousness—both at the time of writing and in retrospect—is flying from the ramparts, and arguably an integral part of the story. They never did emerge from anonymity, and they’ve since deleted the story—which is a shame, because this is a valid slice-of-life in the Lynda Barry vein, with the OP’s imaginary friends as proxies. Since there seems to be no identifying information that could be used to trace them, I don’t think posting a Wayback Machine capture will expose them to further embarrassment.
And let’s not be like the Mean Girls at Michael’s, okay?

Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.
But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.
Or,
Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.
He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.
Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.
Chapter Summary: Pieces begin to fall into place.
Mace is on the trail of the Sith master, or at least the master of the Zabrak Sith that Qui-Gon and Anakin had killed on Tatooine eight years ago. Obi-Wan is still tormented by evil dreams, but an old friend tells him that he needs to take a trip. And Master Yoda is finally back at the Temple, and he gets some potentially unwelcome news.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.
Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.
Chapter Summary: Pieces begin to fall into place.
Mace is on the trail of the Sith master, or at least the master of the Zabrak Sith that Qui-Gon and Anakin had killed on Tatooine eight years ago. Obi-Wan is still tormented by evil dreams, but an old friend tells him that he needs to take a trip. And Master Yoda is finally back at the Temple, and he gets some potentially unwelcome news.

Angelus: Darlin'?
Darla: What?
Angelus: Shouldn't we be killing Holtz?
Darla: I know, but it's just so much fun ruining his life. He's like family now.

sleeeeeep
Okay, so the bit where I'm falling down on the holiday is sleep.
Air-con is too much. Bed is too soft. Pillows are too hard. Not warm enough.
AAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH
Last night, I woke up at 3:30am and...didn't really manage to get back to sleep until around 6am. And even that was only for about half an hour.
I'm travelling okay, though. COVID has cleared up, although I sometimes feel a bit stupid lately, trying to work out what I'm saying and how to say it, and thinking "I'm sure I used to know how to phrase this".
Anyway, it's nearly 11pm where I am.
Time for sleeeeeeeep.
