Birdfeeding
Today is cloudy, cool, breezy, and wet. It rained again this morning.
I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 4/4/26 -- I've seen a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder.
EDIT 4/4/26 -- I raked a section of the east path, so that I can sow grass seed later.
EDIT 4/4/26 -- I started sowing grass and clover seed along the east path.

Just one thing: 5 April 2026
It's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!
Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

Social Media Design
"Why people think I'm weird!"
Hey remember this? "Don't forget to like and subscribe and follow"
I wanted to share some thoughts on the current state of
social media and human connection.
People think I'm weird because I am weird -- that is, I differ in many ways from conventional people, and much of that is obvious very quickly. I was the kid who could read before kindergarten, learned anatomy by dissecting roadkill, talked about violent historical mayhem over the dinner table and didn't care about fashion, famous people, or other mundane trivia. Many of the things I like are rare interests; most common interests bore me. However, I learned to say "If you're normal, I'm glad I'm not" very young and this has remained true. It's the normies who are wrecking the world, not the weirdos.

Philosophical Questions: Miracles
People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.
What is a miracle that happens every day?
Sunrise. Every morning, massive amounts of free energy fall from the sky. The sun gives everything, and asks for nothing in return.

Birdfeeding
Today is cloudy, mild, and damp. It rained again last night. At least the howling wind has calmed down.
I fed the birds. I haven't seen much activity though.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 4/3/26 -- I've seen a pair of house finches feeding each other. <3 courting behavior.
EDIT 4/3/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
It rained more today.
I am done for the night.

History
What is nostalgia?
I’ve been reflecting on nostalgia lately,
specifically regarding the differences
between growing up in the '80s and '90s
versus the experience of kids today.
It is extremely different, and I suspect that the bad changes outweigh the good ones, considering the generally poor health of young people today.

Fancake Theme for April: Arranged Marriage
fancake is a thematic recommendation community where all members are welcome to post recs, and fanworks of all shapes and sizes are accepted. Check out the community guidelines for the full set of rules. This theme runs for the entire month. If you have any questions, just ask!
Free for All Saturday, Week 14 [DW Edition]
↑↑↑ Available dates:
April 7 & 9
April 14 & 16
April 21 & 23
Happy Saturday to you all, and welcome to the first Free for All of April. :3 There are no themes to follow for prompts or fills. If, perhaps, you missed a prompt theme that you liked, or you've had any ideas that didn't really work with Tuesday's or Thursday's posts, then today's your chance to prompt 'em. Be free, and have fun! ✎
Just a few rules:
1. No more than five prompts in a row.
2. No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
3. Use the character's full name and the fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
4. No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
5. If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
6. If your story has possible triggers, please warn for them in the subject line!
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Are today's prompts not catching your eye? No worries, because we have plenty of older prompts that just might do the trick! You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^
We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection.
If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site: please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site, but you are still more than welcome to participate. =)
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word!
A friendly reminder about our posting schedule: Themed posts for new prompts go up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day for new prompts of any flavor. Sundays are for showing Lonely Prompts some love, whether by requesting for someone to adopt them or by sharing any fills that you've recently completed.
