5 things makes a post
1) A tiny drabble in a not overlarge fandom received a sudden flood of guest kudos one night - as much as I'd like to flatter myself, that just didn't track :P A little investigation turned up quite a few folks having this problem, and it looks like there's a bot that's been on the loose for some months now. This Tumblr post contained some knowledgeable speculation as to what just might be happening behind the tech curtain.
2) Interesting article in The Conversation on compassionate conservation this week. It's a difficult discussion to have, not least because there tends to be a lot of strong feeling and values-based argument going on. At the moment I still see a place for culling, but I can't say I haven't brooded on how we design those programs, or whether there may come a time when we'll have to embrace whatever flora and fauna proves best able to adapt and survive in a degrading environment.
3) M is 30 today... disconcerting. Things seem to be going well in L.A. though - stressful and a lot of hard work, but he's making forward progress in the right places.
4) Anyone into picrews? I got great mileage out of this one, with a wider range of symbolic options available than usual.
5) I've been taking a hard look at my bookshelves and pruning out the ones I just don't see myself reading again. This of course means I am now free to pick up some new hard copy books, ho ho ho! Plan to nab all the Raksuras eventually, but I'm trying to space my frivolous purchases out responsibly.
