I took some pictures yesterday but didn't have time to upload and post them until today. The night before, a windstorm blew down the contorta willow sapling that used to stand between the house yard and the south lot, near the big maple tree.

Today is mostly cloudy. It rained again at some point last night.

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

I heard the owl hooting all night too. :D

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 1/10/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 1/10/26 -- I put out a fresh suet cake and refilled the hopper feeder. Sparrows have been mobbing. There is now a starling in addition to the mourning dove, but he isn't trying to squeeze in there either -- he knows he is outnumbered.

EDIT 1/10/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

It is 5 PM. The sun has recently set but the sky is still fairly light.

I am done for the night.

Why Earth’s earliest animals left little trace behind

Spicules, tiny mineral needles that stiffen sponge tissue, drop into seafloor mud and can persist for ages. When early sponges lacked these needles, the fossil record would mainly show empty space and a few ambiguous chemical traces. Many of the rocks that capture early animal life formed during the quiet stretch just before the Cambrian explosion. Geologists call this interval the Ediacaran, the last Precambrian period with large, soft animals, and they mark it on official time charts. In those layers, sponge bodies are hard to spot, so the debate has leaned heavily on genetics and chemistry.

Length: 4,278 words

Theme: Crack Treated Seriously

Summary: Biosecurity officers have identified and captured a lesser white-fronted goose in Footscray, Victoria. Due to the biosecurity risk to Australian bird life and the poultry industry, the bird is not permitted to remain in Australia and will be humanely destroyed.

Reccer's Notes: This fic was brought to my attention in a Discord server. I found it too hilarious NOT to share here. Also points for having accurate details according to the Australian server member who linked it.

Human brains emit light and glow in the dark, revealing our mental state

All living tissues give off photons as excited molecules shed excess energy. The phenomenon is so subtle – roughly a million times dimmer than the threshold of human vision – that researchers call it ultra-weak photon emission (UPE).

Oh look, scientists have "discovered" the aura of life energy. Now go figure out how people detect it without tools, because humans have been drawing and writing about that for ages.

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.

* First, I'm gonna do like some other people here and say: I love feedback on my fic! If you have some fic of mine marked for later, now is the moment!
Here is my AO3 page, and, for people who only read English, here is the one with my fics in English.

* I've entered recently the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom, after everyone, and even if there are tons of fics to be found at AO3, I'm not sure where to find fanart. There's lot on deviantart, but it's 1) cruelly unsources, and 2) all PG-rated max.
If you have some recs of fanart, by the original artists, I would be happy. I mostly ship Dazai/Akutagawa/Atsushi and any subpart of it, but if the fanart is good I might be interested in anyone. If it's a bit smutty, even better.

* Recently for one of my reading catagories, I had "a pop-up book, or other book with a non-standard way of cutting pages". I can go in any good library and read one, but it would be far better if I was able to read soemthing that's actually good, a maasterpiece of pop-up.
So if you love the genre, or even met a very good one my accident, and have some recs... (kids or not, all's fine)

Adult Artists Webring

1) I'm really happy for adult artists (NSFW) to find a place they won't get kicked out of.

2) I'm also delighted to see webrings in general coming back. Search engines are so bad nowadays, we really need alternatives ways to find things.

This poem was written outside the regular prompt calls. It fills "The Far Call" square in my 1-1-25 card for the Public Domain Day Bingo fest. It was sponsored by a pool with

FAQ

What is the WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang?
Good question! This is a Mini Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder for the fics that were too short to be completed during the main Big Bang (ie, finished works are 7.5K words and under).

Do I need a Livejournal/Dreamwidth/AO3/etc. account to participate?
No! You don’t have to have an account on anything to participate, though you will need to have somewhere to post your finished work. Having one or more accounts will help for you to follow what is going on with the bang (we cross-post to Dreamwidth and Tumblr and heavily use our Discord server at the moment), but they are not required to participate. You can always leave comments anonymously or with an opensource ID.

How many fics can I write?
We absolutely don’t mind multiple fics! There are no sign-ups for this, as it’s an informal Mini Bang, so as long as it stays under he max word count, you can finish as many fics as you want between January 1st and February 15th.

Will I get emails about the bang?
We do not send out any emails for the Mini Bang, as we currently do not keep an updated email list of participants, so we only send individual emails as needed rather than mass emails.

However, email is the fastest way to communicate with the mods. If you have any questions or are having trouble communicating with your artist/author, please do email us! We will do our best to respond quickly.

What do you mean by maximum word count?
You don’t have to have a set minimum of your fic to start, so an outlined fic is fine, but it must be under 7,500 words when it’s finished.

( More FAQ )

I have a question/concern that’s not mentioned here.
If you need help, you can always contact a mod, and we will do our best to make sure that you get your story/art finished. The best and fastest method of contact is through our email, wipbigbang@gmail.com.

People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.

Is it more or less difficult to be successful in the modern world than it was in the past (10, 50, 100, or 1,000 years ago)?

We made it through the first week of January. This is enough to get an early glimpse of progress with New Year's resolutions. It's also malleable enough to make changes. Watch for the parallel check in post over on

goals_on_dw. Its busy season is December-January, with weekly check-in posts for January, then monthly after that.
