Today I started making liquid fertilizer from Russian comfrey. Begin with Part 1: Jugs. With those done, I harvested leaves.

I really liked this writing prompt. I may actually noodle with it.

Finished my next

getyourwordsout Yahtzee story. Another 2477 words, most of it the brothers still fighting. (eye rolls) also got about 1060 on my original cryptid story only to learn I lost my cryptid source link. Whee.

Let me know what day you’re reporting in for. If I've missed you on the tally let me know. Feel free to jump in at any time.

The day's major accomplishment was getting some hand-holding for my hard drive problem and getting the man on the other end to laugh a bit when I said I knew enough to get myself into trouble but not how to get out of it. Hopefully I can get my act together enough to send it out for repairs in a day or two.

The secondary accomplishments were taking the stairs to the gym, and making an attempt to reach out when I felt myself going down a spiral.

gardening

Current feeling: accomplished

Today I started making liquid fertilizer from Russian comfrey. This plant fills a lot of guild roles in permaculture including fertilizer, miner, mulcher, protector, attractor. I have been using it primarily as a bee plant that I can also slash-and-drop several times a season. I grow it under many of my trees and there's some in the prairie garden too.

There are various ways to make liquid fertilizer from comfrey. I will be testing two: 1) a small amount of comfrey leaves in a large amount of water, and 2) only comfrey leaves crammed tightly in a jug. (See Part 2: Leaves.)

Somehow we got a spring this year -- after so many years of maybe a week between winter and summer -- and I am so so so happy and relieved. Summer is certainly icumen in, but we have had spring. An actual spring. Yay.

Mostly wrote and then had a surprise writers zoom meeting because I forgot we weren't doing them thursdays any more due to conflicts in half our schedules. I didn't do well but mostly because some fool lost the link to the big bad Pennsylvanian cryptid she wanted to use. Sigh. I could NOT find it again. I found the others I wanted to use as red herrings.

Still having blood sugar issues. Today's breakfast sent it almost to 400. By lunch I hit a critical low and then I knocked my damn monitor off again.

two hours later the monitor covers arrived from Amazon. In ONE day. I'm so not used to that (even Prime will not guarantee 1-2 shipping in my area).

Also in there was a book I ordered on Italian healing herbal meds and folklore/paganism. I've been testing herbs from other people's culture and looking so long at UK/Viking paganism because all I could find on Italy was Raven Grimassi who I did not like. I'm excited for this.

Let's share our music! It's music monday. I'm still doing the alphabet challenge and I'm up to J. I'm only doing the last 5 years but you can share whatever. This was not a good letter so I'm not even cutting it because there are so few. Also YT was on fire with recs today. Lately it's been doing nothing but AI music which is a no (even if it's fan tracks. I'll listen to it if the fan wrote the lyrics but otherwise not so much) I have several new bands to follow.

I generally follow Mac Rumors for detailed coverage of Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). Based on rumors earlier this month, I was not expecting anything particularly notable at this year’s WWDC – and that turned out to be true. I don’t need new features anyway; I’d be happy if Apple simply fixed broken things. Nonetheless, there was an avalanche of small features and changes that will be either useful or annoying and generally balance out as zero net gain. Apple isn’t the company it was twenty years ago.

It did take me quite a while to read through all the WWDC 2025 posts at Mac Rumors. Definitely worth reading if you live in the Apple ecosystem.

As I expected, Frieren, my recently retired 2017 iMac Pro, is excluded from the list of computers that can run the next major version of macOS – macOS 26 Tahoe. (See: macOS Tahoe Compatibility) I upgraded my Macintosh just in time. (Mac Migration Assistant doesn’t work properly if old and new Macs are not on the same version of macOS.) Still, the iMac Pro had a decent, 8-year run. (Mine was over 7 years old when it was retired.)

What? You mean that cookie dough from over a year ago can go bad? Even if it's frozen?

... The freezer now has a lot less cookie dough in it. RIP last spring's cookies. The aroma of freezer burn invaded my kitchen when I baked you. It was not meant to be.

I slept late this morning, coming downstairs abou 11:15. Then I had breakfast and coffee, and didn't do very much for a long time.

I played a game called Cat Tails: Wildwood with Winnie, and I sat with

mashfanficchick with Theo, and I read in my book.

Eventually around 6:30 we decided to bathe Moose, which requires going to a pet store with dog washing stations.

So Dani,

mashfanficchick, and I packed Moose and Theo inthe car and took off. Dani and

mashfanficchick bathed Moose while I followed Theo around. We went into the room with the adoptable cats, and played with them for awhile.

Finally they were done giving Moose his bath, and and we got him a treat and we left. Theo got a little cranky.

Got back and had dinner with

mashfanficchick, then Teamed the FWiB.

And now I'm doing this.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Cute kitties.

3. Good books.

4. Sitting on the porch with Dani.

5. Clean doggy.

6. Good dinner.

Krakencoder predicts brain function 20x better than past methods

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a new algorithm, the Krakencoder, that merges multiple types of brain imaging data to better understand how the brain s wiring underpins behavior, thought, and recovery after injury. This cutting-edge tool can predict brain function from structure with unprecedented accuracy 20 times better than past models and even estimate traits like age, sex, and cognitive ability.

That ... sounds pretty exactly like something over in Terramagne. It's part of Thalassia's health care system, although they've had theirs for a while. *ponder* I think the ~20 year gap between here and there is holding steady.
