Lake Lewisia #1267
“I thought fairy rings were supposed to grow where tree stumps were rotting,” he said, gazing out over the field, “or spots where something dead and buried was decaying.” She looked up from where she had been closely examining a rough line of fruiting bodies, then she guided him over to one edge that gave a better view. She swept her arm out to indicate a long, one might say draconic, curve as of a tail joining a vast body, picked out in assorted mushrooms, and grimly said, “Yes, exactly.”

Photos: Charleston Library Butterfly Gardens
We visited the butterfly gardens at the Charleston Library, on June 19 although this is dated 20 because it's after midnight. They were filled with birds, although I didn't manage to catch any pictures of them.

Back in Newark
Got up this morning at 8:00 and went with Dani and Winnie to the little store down the block from the motel for breakfast. I got coffee and a ham, egg, and cheese on an English muffin. It was very good.
Then we went to the beach for awhile, but then had to go back, wake upmashfanficchick and pack up to check out.
We did that and then went to the main part of town to a candy shop.
Then we took Winnie to camp. We left her off, and then stopped for a little bit at Raymond Beach where we wadded in the lake and had someone take our picture.
We stopped for lunch at a Mexican restaurant and had burritos. Then we started the drive back.
Eventually we reached New Jersey and got dinner at the Vince Lombardi Service Area. We got food at Pret a Manger.
We came back to the hotel and unloaded our stuff. I ate my sandwich, and then got my computer set up.
I teamed the FWiB, and then started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My friends.
3. The beach.
4. Good food.
5. Bed soon.
6. Fun road trip.
Edited to add: Forgot to say I called Middle Brother. He is fine and having a good time.

The Friday Five, 6/20/2025
From ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
thefridayfive:
1. If you were a fruit, which would you be and why?
Banana, probably since have a thick exterior but soft interior.
2. If you wake up and smell smoke, and you have to get everybody (pets included) out of the house safely, but you have time to grab one item, what would you grab?
I would call the fire department and use my extinguishers to put it all out before that happened.
3. If you were stuck on an island, who would be the one person you would want with you and why?
Someone who truly understands and supports me.
4. If you could change one thing about your physical appearance, what would it be?
My thighs since they're way too fucking thick.
5. If you could spend the day with one famous person, dead or alive, who would you choose?
Probably Malcolm X since he is one of my biggest ideological influences, and I aim to be his autistic equivalent--he might have been as well--since I don't need "leaders" who think they know what's best for my demographic like the retarded supremacists in charge of Ass-AN (ASAN). Yeah, I'm invoking N-word privilege.

Today is partly sunny and mild. It rained yesterday.
I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- We went out for a while and saw the library wildflower meadow, Fox Ridge, and the Charleston Food Forest.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I refilled the thistle feeder that was half empty.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I sowed 5 pots with yellow raspberries.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I did more work around the patio.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I picked up sticks from the south side of the driveway and dumped them in the firepit.
Lots of fireflies are coming out. :D
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I picked up sticks from the North side of the driveway and dumped them in the firepit.
As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

New butterfly species wows scientists: 'This discovery reveals a lineage shaped by 40,000 years of evolutionary solitude'
The Satyrium semiluna, or half-moon hairstreak, is a small gray butterfly that looks like a moth at first glance. The wildflower lovers are widespread across North America, from the Sagebrush steppe to the montane meadows of the Rocky Mountains.
But tucked away in the southeastern corner of Alberta, Canada, another colony of butterflies flaps across the Blakiston Fan landform of Waterton Lakes National Park.
Until now, they were thought to be a subpopulation of half-moon hairstreaks — until scientists made a phenomenal discovery: They were a new species of butterfly that had hidden in plain sight for centuries.
The researchers, who recently published their findings in the scientific journal ZooKeys, defined the new species as Satyrium curiosolus.

Hello (I don't know what else to put here)
Name: SetNox1, or Kai if you prefer a 'proper' name.
Age: 20.
I mostly post about: Not sure yet but probably whatever's on my mind at the time. Daily life, insights, events, ideas, not in any specific order. Don't expect anything too shocking though. Inside thoughts should stay inside or in a paper journal at most.
My hobbies are: Dungeons & Dragons, drawing, maybe writing if you're generous with vague periphery interests that stuck around for months. I'm trying to get into sewing and other clothing DIY shenanigans.
My fandoms are: None. Maybe Percy Jackson if you count lurking in the art/headcanons corner of Tumblr as participating in a fandom.
I'm looking to meet people who: Share snippets of their mind and life and enjoy exchanging music recommendations. Seriously, send me songs, I love exploring new artists, especially the smaller/independent ones.
My posting schedule tends to be: Probably sporadic. Knowing myself, I'll try to keep a regular schedule, then forget about the schedule, then have a big buildup of stuff to say but can't find the words for them, and when things finally click int place I'll share a crap ton. I love my executive functionality (cue lightheartedly sarcastic sigh).
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Focus on sexual stuff and gore. I don't mind them in small doses but god forbid it becomes the main point of conversation. Also, ny form of queerphobia! Pardon my English but you're not 'phobic' or 'scared' of anything, you're just a douche, or raised by one at best.
Before adding me, you should know: I overanalyse quite a lot behind the scenes, possibly because of something neurodivergent that I've not yet discovered. For the same reason I might come across as plain or sarcastic eve when I don't intend to. Whoops. I'm also a very queer soul. Go enjoy your life without me if you're looking for a neurotypical, cishet-normative experience.
