Today is cloudy and cool.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 9/24/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 9/24/26 -- I started planting the questionable acorns in places where I would like oak trees to grow.

EDIT 9/24/26 -- I cracked 10 yellow nectarine pits and got 10 good seeds, which I bagged in damp sand to cold-stratify in the fridge.  The one red plum pit yielded nothing.

Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fanvids/fanarts/fics/fancrafts/podfics/other kinds of fanworks have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here.

This year I'm doing Community Thursdays. Some of my activity will involve maintaining communities I run, and my favorites. Some will involve checking my list of subscriptions and posting in lower-traffic ones. Today I have interacted with the following communities...


* Commented on TV Tuesday: Are There Changes? in [community profile] tv_talk.

* Commented on Goldstone Stone Hearts and Desert Stone in [community profile] everykindofcraft.

* Commented on just create - elderberry edition in [community profile] justcreate.

Fast fashion shoppers know the environmental cost, but something keeps pulling them back

Ultra-fast fashion purchases may seem spontaneous, but price, convenience, and social pressure can outweigh sustainability concerns.


I dislike fashion in general and fast fashion in particular. However, I can only buy what someone else chooses to make and sell. Around here, the only place I can reliably find 100% cotton anything is a booth selling tie-dye at a street fair. I don't see linen or silk anymore. I see synthetics. I can't even find a whole package of 100% cotton underwear. >_< And I can't buy most clothes without trying them on, so I can't shop online. I buy the least-worst of whatever is available.

Flagship Restoration Project in Brazil’s Cerrado Savannah Working to Restore 4.4 Million Acres

The initiative has already mapped more than 50,000 acres under restoration, with additional areas being added through its monitoring platform. Seeds from more than 150 native plant species have been collected and used in restoration activities, helping build a restoration supply chain that includes seed collectors, nurseries, restoration technicians, and monitoring services.


That's great news after the bit about the fungal network unraveling due to loss of grasslands.

Fear doesn’t fade fast, and scientists may finally know why it lingers

Scientists found a small brain region that helps mice keep responding to danger after a warning first appears.


The information about fear in the brain and nervous system is interesting and useful. However, those aren't the only places that fear lives.

EDIT 9/23/26 -- I gathered seeds and a few edibles from the Charleston Food Forest and the Coles County Community Garden.

EDIT 9/23/26 -- I bagged up the good acorns in damp sand and sphagnum moss to cold-stratify in the refrigerator.

EDIT 9/23/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

I watered the new picnic table, recently planted bulbs, and telephone pole garden.

As it is now dark, I am done for the night.

The most recent thing that made me think "Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye" is that scientists mapped the underground fungal network that connects most plants on Earth, finding that it is unraveling rapidly as grasslands and wetlands are destroyed. This network functions like a circulatory system to exchange resources, and like a nervous system to carry information. Most plants depend on it for survival functions and cannot live long without it. Few can really live independently of fungi -- mostly pioneer plants, some beach plants, desert species, underwater species, etc. designed to grow in conditions that really do not favor fungi.
