The discovery of Folsom site in New Mexico by a cowboy and amateur archaeologist.
Before the other day, I had never even heard of George McJunkin. There should to be a movie about this man’s life, like, yesterday.
Early history of the discoveries at Folsom
The archaeological significance of the Folsom site
Had sort of a breakthrough moment while thinking about redundancies, just now, in the shower. I'm always a little bit thinking about redundancies because I'm into archiving (family occupation+autism, which is also a family occupation), and frequently I remind myself that they are good things actually (it's good to have a little more groceries than you need, it's good to save more than one copy of your project, it's good to pack enough underwear for more days than you'll be traveling, it's good to have more than one escape route, etc.)-- BUT TODAY I thought: hey this is true of intellectual/creative redundancies as well! Oft I find mineself falling into the trap of thinking 'if I can't make something novel and completely original then it's not worth making', or some version of 'other people have told this story before better than I could', and this is an excellent way to ensure I never finish anything. EXCEPT, I remind myself once more, slapping my forehead, REDUNDANCIES ARE GOOD ACTUALLY, REMEMBER?
No one is going to read all the books, watch all the movies, hear all the stories. Not everyone has access to the same stuff, not all the stuff is made in the same place at the same time by the same people in the same language in the same context. You can say the same thing more than once and that just means there are two different places where people can encounter that idea. Ideas are iterative anyway! If nothing else (says the archivist), a long time down the road, having multiple examples of a thing occurring at a similar time is evidence of a trend in that specific period, and that's valuable in its own right. Tell the same story twice! Put it on VHS and DVD and torrents! It's fine! it's good actually! don't keep stalling yourself (myself) out on a project because you (I) think it's been done before!! That's the sign I'm going to tap whenever I'm next bewailing that my story isn't original and other people have done it better already.

Charity Fic Commissions Poll
For those of you who don't know, Canada is on fire, and Indigenous communities are being disproportionately affected by the overwhelming damage.
A few writers and I are working on setting up charity commissions where people would show proof of donations to charities such as:
Anishinabek Nation 7th Generation Charity
Ontario Native Women's Association
Mikinakoos Emergency Fund
Red Cross
True North Aid
Indigenous Climate Action
Any others with an appeal that appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel
Before we set up the commissions, we are putting out this poll to see interested numbers so that we are able to effectively decide how many commission slots we will offer and how long the commissions will be.
At the moment, we are thinking of commissions being 1,000 words maximum for 10$ minimum donated (or your local currency equivalent) but that is subject to change depending on interest. Most of us write for COD, but more information about characters/fandoms will be available when we make the official post.
Would you be interested in a Charity Commission?
Yes
No
Even if you're not interested in a commission, I highly encourage you to donate if you are able to! Lev's post is a very valuable resource and source of information if you'd like to do further research.
Please reblog this post, not only for sample size but to get word out about the fires and the charities.
At the age of 93, Duane Michals (February 18, 1932 – June 9, 2026) created this photographic triptych “Do You Mind if I Sit Here?" for the New York Times, a reflection on gay cruising and the pain of being closeted.

in which murderbot is a very normal terracotta soldier and ART the dragon spirit of a chinese junk who dwells in the ship's keel. they meet in the ming dynasty perhaps, when ppl are sailing places extra willy-nilly.
*Nüwa is the mother goddess in chinese mythology, known for creating humanity from yellow clay and repairing the sky.
thank you @mutualrapport for hosting the event! original prompt below.
[drawn for the prompt: an AU of ART and MB's first meeting and conversation - e.g. another look at their first meeting from a fantasy, historical, or (non-canon) sci-fi lens! Any perspective is fine. The only constraint is that it cannot be set in the canon universe. Any visibly non-canon AU- fantasy, human, historical, etc. - anything goes!]

Three different tests of spinning thick-and-thin yarns: 21m/11g, 22m/13g, 13m/12g. All two-ply wool, purple is Corriedale and white is Cormo. It worked out to almost exactly 50% of each.
The purple ply is the same thick-and-thin yarn throughout. White is consistent fine, thick-and-thin, and (mostly) consistent thick.
