Yesterday's. Mirrors again. Circles reflecting more circles.

Today's. Sunrise. Quick sketch from the back porch looking east this morning as the sun was breaking through.

We've been having busy days. Yesterday we drove to Myakka State Park and explored there. Then last night we went to the beach and watched the sun go down. This morning we did some doctor office visiting to get some things straight for Kathy's upcoming laser surgery and then explored at Robinson Preserve and stopped at the boat basin where the manatees live. We saw more manatees than I've ever seen and saw them better. Usually you're lucky if you see a snout barely sticking out of the water. Today we could see the backs of them passing by. The backs look rough and like they have barnacles on them. By the time I got my phone out it was too late but I think Chloe got some good pics. Here's seven pix of other things from yesterday and today - not in order. Too fussy to have to do that with my phone. While I'm here I miss using my computer to write entries and post pictures with.

Tomorrow will be another busy day. Going to visit Emerson Point in the morning then have family over later.

The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse
by Louise Erdrich

This beautiful novel focuses on Father Damien, a priest serving on an Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota during the twentieth century. His great secret is that he is a woman who has lived as a man for most of his life. When another priest comes to the reservation to investigate the sanctity of Sister Leopolda, a deceased nun of the reservation convent, Damien must decide whether to reveal the truth about Leopolda as he reflects on his life.
The Last Report... is a wonderful book that reveals a lot about Native American life in the early 20th century, and also explores what goodness and saintliness really are, and what makes a life truly holy. Damien's quiet, loving, empathetic service to the Ojibwe community is contrasted with Leopolda's forbidding and harsh devotion to the Church. The book is filled with so many wonderful characters, especially the elder Nanapush, Mary Kashpaw, and Damien himself. Erdrich gives us a good look at how religion can function in a community, and how that community can shape that religion. There's a lot in this book, and it's all worth discovering.

Science news:

Scientists have finally cracked a long-standing mystery about squid and cuttlefish evolution by analyzing newly sequenced genomes alongside global datasets. The research reveals that these bizarre, intelligent creatures likely originated deep in the ocean over 100 million years ago, surviving mass extinction events by retreating into oxygen-rich deep-sea refuges. For millions of years, their evolution barely changed—until a dramatic post-extinction boom sparked rapid diversification as they moved into new shallow-water habitats.

As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

After I finally finished work (our theory-of-change meetings are getting existential, this one gave me such a headache), I went outside to sit outside in perfect weather, barefoot, listening to the radio, reading my library book, and enjoying the smell of the neighbors' lilacs.

Then I made an easy dinner, and then D and I cycled to a nearby pub for a pint. A big trip for him! It's lovely that he's feeling up to doing stuff now that the weather is making it so much more fun to do things.

crocheted dog amigurumi, light brown and medium brown with embroidery-thread nose. The dog is a bit lumpy and haphazard, and sits on a sunny windowsill.

This is Oscar the dog, whom I finished making last night. Oscar’s kit was a Christmas 2024 present. Oscar has been sitting around in pieces on the dining room table for a long time; the crocheting of Oscar seems like a distant memory. It’s the sewing I just finished up.

I crocheted an ear in the wrong color, so decided one leg could be a different color than designated in the pattern as well, and it would all come out right.

I hadn’t crocheted since maybe age 9, so I was pleased to learn the basics again (in an age of free online videos made for left-handers). Will I make another amigurumi? I’m enamored of the backpack charms I’ve seen in Portland and Japan, so maybe an onion charm, in honor of Harriet the Spy.

This post originates at everyday though not every day. Comments welcome here or there.

There's been a situation that has been making life stressful for the past year, and yesterday the stress doubled. My way of dealing with this kind of cosmic ass kick is to bury myself in writing, where I feel I have a pretence at control. I only say this because I might not be as responsive to posts as usual, and if anyone even notices a dearth of commentary from me (very small chance I realize) it's not you, it's me. Not gone, just coping and scribbling away.

Prosecutors have dropped criminal charges against the Texas judge who had a defense lawyer put in handcuffs last year during a contentious hearing. Well, former Texas judge, because she was suspended after the incident and then lost the primary election in March. Who if anyone was acting professionally during that hearing? Hard to tell from a transcript, but only one of them still has her job.

Police in California have finally captured the “Irvine Pasta Bandit,” a 28-year-old man who allegedly bought LEGO sets, removed the more valuable pieces, replaced them with pasta, and returned the packages for refunds. That may not sound very lucrative, but apparently if you do it “at least 70 times,” you could end up with “roughly $34,000.” Those numbers would work out to about $486 per set, so I’m guessing it was more than 70 times, but could certainly be wrong.

What “truly outrages” Quebec’s Minister of Agriculture? Selling fake maple syrup, that’s what (or, at least, syrup sold as “pure” but cut with 50% cane sugar). And rightly so. The CBC notes that Canadians should be on the lookout for cans bearing the name “Steve Bourdeau” or that of his company, the catchily-named “9227-8712 Québec Inc.,” as well as cans with fake labels someone (probably named Steve Bourdeau) has been going around and attaching to them in an attempt to cover up that information.

Of course, Lowering the Bar has long been on record as condemning any actions that might disrupt the world’s supply of this precious commodity. See, e.g., “Who Stole the Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve? And How?” (Sept. 14, 2012), and related items.

“Sullivan & Cromwell is one of the oldest and most prestigious law firms in the country,” notes the New York Times, in an article reporting that the firm had apologized for filing a motion drafted with generative AI’s “help.” The firm told the court that not all of the three dozen errors in its motion were AI-related, but that some did seem to be the product of AI “hallucinations.” It therefore joins the ever-growing list of lawyers, some of them old and prestigious, who have been forced to admit this garbage somehow got into their work product.

As Above the Law reports, the list also includes whoever’s representing “Joe Exotic,” currently imprisoned but still worrying about tigers. Well, not the list of those who have admitted they screwed up, because this one denied it, but the list of those who got punished for it.

A former adult-film actress has passed the bar exam, and no, it wasn’t Kim Kardashian.

As I discussed in detail in a draft I now see I never got around to posting, Kardashian didn’t pass the California bar exam last year. This is not too terribly surprising given that she didn’t even go to college, much less law school, and that it isn’t that clear how often she showed up at the law firm where she claimed to be apprenticing. Given that the draft also discusses an interview in which Kardashian blamed ChatGPT for “[making] me fail tests,” I’m seriously thinking about finishing it.

“Penn & Teller are not the first magician-skeptics to use their skills as manipulators of perception to expose offstage practices that defy logic and reason,” this amicus brief points out, but they might be the first magician-skeptics to file an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court. In the (excellent) brief, they support the petitioner’s argument that the “investigative hypnosis” technique used in his case was “flim-flam” and “junk science of the worst kind.” As they point out, they have investigated this very subject before. See Penn & Teller: Bullshit!: Hypnosis (Showtime television broadcast, aired Sep. 2, 2004). Not the only authority they cite by any means, but enough to persuade me.

1. I am currently on an island, the Isle of Wight.

2. Today I finished reading We Bought an Island, which I LOVED. It's a memoir of two sisters who bought an island off the Cornwall coast in the 1960s and turned it into (basically) an artists' retreat. This book is focused on them finding the island and moving in, and all the people they meet. It genuinely made me laugh out loud several times, to the point where it's coming home with me because I know I'll want to reread it later. Luckily I have the small pocket-sized paperback version; if I have to I can just put it in my coat pocket.

I desperately want to read the sequel, which talks about their life on the island after moving in, but I may have to resign myself to reading the PDF on Archive.org as the local used bookshop doesn't have a copy. I can always order one on eBay if I want to later, too.

3. While looking for Tales From Our Cornish Island (that's the sequel) at the local used bookshop, I found a different book about living on an island: Herm, Our Island Home, which I of course bought. This one is about a family (6 kids, 2 parents) living on an island 3 miles from Guernsey in the Channel Islands, around the same time period as the sisters on their island, actually.

4. I enjoy reading about people on islands, and I enjoy visiting islands. If I were going to live on an island, I'd prefer a larger one. But then I've never been enamored with small-town life, tbh. I prefer mid-sized places.

5. I re-watched Muppet Treasure Island the other day and then read Robert Louis Stevenson's fascinating Wikipedia page; I'd no idea that he'd written travel memoirs, nor spent the last years of his life writing from and about Samoa (an island nation).

6. Other islands I've been to: the UK (of course), Madeira Island, São Miguel Island, Barbados, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Manhattan Island.

7. Private artificial islands creep me out, especially when they're populated by billionaires. Public artificial islands are, I suppose, fine.

8. I just found this Wikipedia list of fictional islands and it's made me think back to how many of my favorite books as a kid were set on islands, or involved islands, most of them only lightly inhabited. They do make for interesting story settings...

9. "Let's all go to Gullah Gullah Island!"

What was also very noticeable was Venus. After a number of attempts I was finally able to get a non wavery shot of it in close-up.

Reform UK will tell Welsh museums how to present history, manifesto says - and I am getting out a whole school of, er, perhaps not codfish, something more sustainable and perhaps with nasty spines, for Reform UK, who prate on

Reform leader Dan Thomas told BBC Wales there were "some museums that take a very niche view on our past that may talk about slavery, without the whole picture of the fact that the British empire was the first to abolish slavery, and that other countries have done it for, you know, millennia".

I am pretty sure that back in the early C19th the ancestors, whether actual or in general leanings, of Reform UK, would have been screaming loudly at the very thought of abolishing slavery and denouncing Wilberforce as WOKE. But now they are able to claim abolition as Great Achievement of the British Nation.

I do wonder whether fellow Esperantists actually read these, it sounds niche to the point of eccentricity, not that that was exactly uncommon in those circles: Why Was the Discovery of the Jet Stream Mostly Ignored? Maybe because it was published in Esperanto:

The somewhat eccentric Ooishi was not only the director of Japan’s Tateno atmospheric observatory but also the head of the Japan Esperanto Society, proponents of the artificially constructed language, created in the 1870s as a means of international communication. Ooishi announced his discovery of the swift, high-altitude river of air in the Tateno observatory’s annual reports, which he published in Esperanto. Not surprisingly, his research was ignored[.}

On the other hand, would they have gained much traction beyond Japan anyway - observatory annual reports hardly usual scientific journals mode of dissemination.

Urban life: The LCC and the Arts I: The Open-Air Sculpture Exhibitions - do wonder if there is a slightly condescension of posterity going on in the assumption of 'the elite aesthetics and values of its ‘natural’ middle-class constituency'.

I'm in spring cleaning mode, starting by doing a Deep Vacuum of the room I call my jewelry room (although in some ways it's more of a very large walk-in closet). I moved things around and vacuumed up years worth of dust from behind the furniture, which brought me face to face with several large storage containers full of way more beads and jewelry fittings than I could ever use. I don't want to get rid of everything, but I'm sorting a lot of it into little ziplock bags that I hope to donate to ArtStart.

But that brings me to the piles and piles of jewelry that I just don't wear any more. Nothing valuable, but mostly quality materials: glass, stone, ceramic and the like. This kind of thing (just a random sample). What do I do with it? I put out some of the heavier pieces of glass and stone at a Minnstf meeting last year and a lot of people did take them. I can do that again if anyone might be interested.

But what I'm really looking for is a recommendation for a thrift shop of the type that displays nice costume jewelry in a case at the front rather than just tossing it all onto a shelf to get tangled up. I probably got some of these pieces at that kind of shop in the first place, but I don't remember where.

Anybody have any ideas?

I swear this was a coincidence. I was browsing through the memoirs of Margaret Thatcher and John Major, both of which I own and have read before, when I remembered that I'd never gotten around to reading the memoirs of their successor, David Cameron, though that was published seven years ago. So, having another errand in that direction, I went to the library and checked it out.

What's coincidence is that that same day I looked up al the major California gubernatorial candidates on Wikipedia to learn their background. Where I learned that Steve Hilton, one of the Republican candidates, though by now a U.S. citizen with something of a mid-Atlantic accent, started out as a Brit who was a political aide to David Cameron.

So what does his former boss have to say about Steve Hilton? Brace yourself:

Steve Hilton's ideas continued to be one part brilliant to several parts bonkers. However, his relationship with people in government wasn't working. He was no longer excused as a free spirit when he was late for meetings - he was seen as someone who had disregard for others. His antagonistic style was no longer helping him advance his cause - it had started to hurt it. And the relationship between the two of us became strained, too. Steve is a real ideologue in a way I'm not. He thought I was losing my radical zeal and falling for the trappings of prime minister. But I knew that to be a successful radical you have to play the game. And he wasn't interested in playing the game, just tipping it over and throwing the pieces all over the floor.

The One You Can’t Forget

RECOMMENDED: The One You Can’t Forget by Roni Loren is $1.99 and a KDD! I love this series and highly recommend any of the books in it. However, please be warned that it deals with the aftermath of a school shooting.

Most days Rebecca Lindt feels like an imposter…

The world admires her as a survivor. But that impression would crumble if people knew her secret. She didn’t deserve to be the one who got away. But nothing can change the past, so she’s thrown herself into her work. She can’t dwell if she never slows down.

Wes Garrett is trying to get back on his feet after losing his dream restaurant, his money, and half his damn mind in a vicious divorce. But when he intervenes in a mugging and saves Rebecca―the attorney who helped his ex ruin him―his simple life gets complicated.

Their attraction is inconvenient and neither wants more than a fling. But when Rebecca’s secret is put at risk, both discover they could lose everything, including what they never realized they needed: each other

She laughed and kissed him. This morning she’d melted down. But somehow this man had her laughing and turned on only a few hours later. Everything inside her felt buoyed.

She felt…light.

She’d forgotten what that felt like.

The Very Secret Sex Lives of Medieval Women

The Very Secret Sex Lives of Medieval Women by Rosalie Gilbert is $2.99 and another KDD! I mentioned this non-fiction in a previous Get Rec’d. I love a niche history deep dive.

A “wickedly entertaining, informative and thought-provoking” look at romance, courtship, and other intimacies behind closed Medieval doors (Dr. Markus Kerr, PhD, MDR).

Were medieval women slaves to their husband’s desires, jealously secured in a chastity belt in his absence? Was sex a duty or could it be a pleasure? Did a woman have a say about her own female sexuality, body, and who did or didn’t get up close and personal with it? No. And yes. It’s complicated.

The intimate lives of medieval women were as complex as for modern women. They loved and lost, hoped and schemed, were lifted up and cast down. They were hopeful and lovelorn. Some had it forced upon them, others made aphrodisiacs and dressed for success. Some were chaste and some were lusty. Having sex was complicated. Not having sex, was even more so.

Inside The Very Secret Sex Lives of Medieval Women, a fascinating book about life during medieval times, you will discover tantalizing true stories about medieval women and a myriad of historical facts. Learn about:

The true experiences of women from all classes, including women who made history
The dos and don’ts in the bedroom
Sexy foods and how to have them
All you need to know for your wedding night, and well as insider medical advice
How to get pregnant (and how not to), and more

“Quite compelling and hilariously funny. I have been chuckling out loud and my husband says he thinks he ought to read it if it’s such a tonic. God forbid!” —Susanna Newstead, author of the Savernake Novels

Change of Plans

Change of Plans by Dylan Newton is $1.99! This is book three in the Matthew Brothers series and features a hero with a below‑the‑knee amputation and a chef heroine raising her three nieces. I’ve heard good things about Newton’s contemporaries, but they seem to fly under the radar.

In this charming romantic comedy, a hometown hero comes to the rescue of a chef unexpectedly left to care for three little girls—who may end up saving him too.

When disaster strikes and chef Bryce Weatherford is given guardianship of her three young nieces, her life goes from cooking with fire…to controlling a dumpster fire. Five‑year‑old Addison refuses to remove her fairy wings, eight‑year‑old Cecily won’t bathe, and tween June is majoring in belligerence. With all this chaos, Bryce jettisons hope for a life outside of managing her family and her new job.

It’s been years since Ryker Matthews had his below‑the‑knee amputation, yet the phantom pain for his lost limb and Marine career haunts him. To cope, he focuses on his vehicle restoration business. He knows he’s lucky to be alive. Yet, “lucky” feels more like “cursed” to his lonely heart.

When Ryker literally sweeps Bryce off her feet in the grocery store’s baby aisle, they both feel sparks. But falling in love would be one more curveball neither is ready to deal with… or is it exactly the change of plans they need?

Kitty Norville Box Set: Books 1-3

Kitty Norville Box Set by Carrie Vaugn is $6.99! This set collects books 1-3 in the urban fantasy series. Did any of you read these books? If so, let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Kitty Norville isn’t just a radio DJ, she’s a werewolf and despite her best efforts, keeping that a secret is harder than you would expect in this bind-up of three complete books that are “fresh, hip, [and] fantastic” (L. A. Banks, author of the Vampire Huntress Legends series).

KITTY AND THE MIDNIGHT HOUR: Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station and a werewolf in the closet. Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it’s Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew.

KITTY GOES TO WASHINGTON: Celebrity werewolf and late-night radio host Kitty Norville prefers to be heard and not seen, but when she’s invited to testify at a Senate hearing on behalf of the country’s supernaturals, her face gets plastered all over national TV. Before long Kitty’s inherited a brand-new set of friends and enemies. Kitty quickly learns that in this city of dirty politicians and backstabbing pundits, everyone’s itching for a fight — and she’s about to be caught in the middle.

KITTY TAKES A HOLIDAY: After getting caught turning into a wolf on national television, Kitty retreats to a mountain cabin to recover and write her memoirs. When werewolf hunter Cormac shows up with an injured Ben O’Farrell, Kitty’s lawyer, slung over his shoulder, and a wolf-like creature with glowing red eyes starts sniffing around the cabin, Kitty wonders if any of them will get out of these woods alive…
