Name: Elmyra (not.. like the character from Tiny Toons, like Aerith's mom from FFVII)
Age: I'm 18. Barely an adult, but an adult nonetheless.
Location: The Deep South, USA
Subscription/Access Policy: None. This is my "entirely public" journal where I post fandom stuff and silly life anecdotes. No qualms with minors as my journal is SFW, but I'd prefer anyone under 15 to keep their distance. I would also prefer not to interact with incest or pedophilia shippers, thanks.

Main Fandoms: Blue Lock, Wind Breaker, Tiger & Bunny, The Idolm@ster SideM
Other Fandoms: Vocaloid (or Vocal Synth if we want to get specific), Trauma Center, Promare
I have other random miscellaneous interests that don't take up quite as much brain space as well. I'm very slowly but surely trying to get into other stuff as well.
Fannish Interests: Fanart, fanmade merch, oshikatsu, making fan characters, and attempting to write fic to varying degrees of success.
OTPs and Ships: Let it be known that I am a multishipper, and also a huge OC x Canon fan-- I honestly spend more thinking about my OC x CC ships nowadays than CC x CC ships. Oh, and Background Character x Background Character. Here are some involving canon and at least somewhat-relevant characters I enjoy, though
Blue Lock: Allsagi within reason, no Egosagi, Noasagi, stuff like that. I also don't particularly care for Kaisagi but I don't have an issue with it, just not my cup of tea, but I specifically really enjoy Bachisagi, Kurosagi, Igasagi. Kunigiri, Nagireo, Kainess, Kindness Trio (Isagi/Nanase/Hiori), Tabiori, Tabieta, Aikusen
Wind Breaker: Sakunirei, Momjisaku, Sugisaku, Sugisakunirei, Togatomi, Hiisako, Umetsuba. You can also get me to enjoy Natokon(?) on occasion.
Tiger & Bunny: Pretty much exclusively Taibani.
SideM (I am not super familiar with precise ship names, apologies!): Terukao, Kaotsuba, Reishiki, Natsujun
 
Favorite Movies: I really only care about Promare and that's about it.
TV Shows: Nothing I haven't already mentioned.
Books: Flowers for Algernon, Things Fall Apart
Music: Oh boy, a little bit of everything? But my favorite artists are Interpol, Abandoned Pools, and sElf. As previously mentioned I'm really into Vocaloid as well.
Games: Trauma Center, Tomodachi Life, Splatoon, Pony Town
Comics/Anime/Misc: See "TV Shows", in reference to anime (or manga). I like science, history, old internet/fandom culture/software, editing, and coding.

Other Info: Pre-med student looking to specialize in forensic medicine. Proud autistic. Sapphic and taken, I have a lovely partner! Infamously attached to side/background characters. Please ignore how my journal is empty, I'm still deciding what to put as my first post. :P

Name:
Anton or Antonio. It's not my real name. Not only because of privacy, but also because my real name is kind of ridiculous.




Age:
I'm a teenager. Close to being of legal age in the Philippines. That may be a turn-off because I believe most users here are adults, but I suppose it doesn't matter. Can't control that now, can I?

It's fine, though. I think a respectable adult would be wary of interacting with a teenager. I should be wary of interacting with adults too.




My hobbies are:
Watching early 1980s to late 2000s Japanese movies. Bookbinding and making proxy cards are also a thing. I like to refurbish and collect old tech too.




I mostly post about:
I'll probably just post what's going on with my life, my opinions on certain things, posts about repairing tech, talking about tech, etc.

And I'm currently waiting for my Xperia X10 just so I can maybe post things in a video format.

Why? Well, why not?




My fandoms are:
I don't think I involve myself in any fandoms, to be honest. It can be a toxic place, and I'm trying to remove any toxicity in my life.

I can be a fan of things, but my interests change every few business days.




I'm looking to meet people who:

Anyone who wants to talk to me, I guess. Though if you're a significantly older adult, I might not interact with you. Just for my safety.

Also, I want to talk casually about deep things. I can't go and write a whole thesis, but we can still talk about deep things.

What are those deep things? I'm not sure. Media critiques maybe?




My posting schedule tends to be the following:

Sporadic, maybe? I don't really want to confine myself to a strict schedule because that would take the fun out of being here.




When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

If you're right-wing or have right-wing ideologies, then I will not talk to you in any way.

And if you interact with the looksmaxxing community or even tolerate them, then I refuse to talk to you.

Incels and bigots are NOT welcome.




Before adding me, you should know:
I can be a bit blunt. That's the first thing to know about me.

I don't think I'm those "brutally honest" people, but I can be a bit socially inept. Which is why I use blunt words like "virgin", "sex", etc.

It's easier to be straightforward than to sugarcoat words since sugarcoated words confuse me.

I'm also very opinionated, and I might use curse words too to emphasize meaning.

I'm a Catholic too if that's relevant.

I'm okay with anyone's beliefs but would rather not debate them. I'm a bit sensitive to that.

Woke up at 9:00 and didn't get back to sleep so I got up at 10:00 and had breakfast and coffee. Put in a small Shipt order.

Waited for it to be delivered, and put it away. Then ended up dozing off on the couch for a couple of hours.

Took a shower and got dressed, then lay down in bed and played solitaire until 5:00 when I got up and went to my Al-anon meeting in the Bronx. As usual I had pizza first.

Small meeting for th first meeting, just me and M, but then two more people showed up for the second meeting.

M drove me to the bus stop, and the 50 came on time so I got to Queens pretty quickly. Got the 61 bus and ot home pretty fast.

Teamed the FWiB for an hour, then fed the pets and started here.

No word from John and Denise about John Ivon. I assume that means they made it in time to see him. If I don't hear from them tomorrow about his condition I'll contact Denise. This is so sad. I heard from him just May 29th.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Shipt.

3. Naps.

4. My meetings and the people there.

5. Beautiful weather.

6. Bed soon.

Scientists Map Underground Fungal Networks and Find They Cover 62 Quadrillion Miles

Some years ago, scientists dedicated to including the kingdom Fungi into modern conservation set out to measure the total length of fungal networks under the soil.

These networks form the fabled “wood wide web,” an interconnected, biological framework of cooperation between plants, fungi, and probably microorganisms.

Their research, published last July, found that just within the top 15 centimeters of soil, the fungal filaments stretched approximately 62 quadrillion miles long, and that if they were spun into a single yarn it would reach from the Earth to the Sun and back 1 billion times
.


This is awesome. Fungi are awesome.

Here at Fieldhaven, I have many kinds. Some sprout after a rain. We've had lots of tiny scarlet elf cups over the last month or so. My mulch pile has various colors of filaments through it.

Today was partly sunny and warm.

We are home and have electricity back. There was a violent storm in central Illinois on Wednesday evening. We are okay. The house and yard are okay. No fatalities have been reported. A tornado touched down in a nearby town and there's a lot of other damage from high winds over a wide area. Electricity was out over most of that area for a long time. Ours was out for about 21 hours so we've got extra cleanup because of that. :/ But it could've been worse.

I fed the birds. I've seen sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

I did several rounds of other outdoor work, mostly cleanup.

I am done for the night.

Storm Recovery Poetry Event

[personal profile] ysabetwordsmith
We survived the violent weather that swept through central Illinois on Wednesday evening. We are safe. The house and yard are intact. Our electricity was out for about 21 hours. The nearby town of Charleston has been declared a disaster area, but we picked up mail today and while there's visible damage -- trees down, roofs with holes -- it could've been a lot worse.  There were no fatalities reported so we're calling that a win.

However, we've incurred a bunch of extra expenses, including but not limited to:
* A lot of extra driving (with gasoline around $5/gallon)
* Out-of-pocket emergency one-day supply of essential medications
* A hotel room (1 bed, 2 people, 1 night)
* A bunch of meals out
* An extra dumpster

We will have more expenses in the immediate future:
* Replacing at least the minimum refrigerator contents, and more over time
* More extra driving
* More meals out
* Possibly restocking some cleaning supplies

Fortunately, we've been able to cover the expenses so far, but we were already on a tighter budget this month for other reasons. We're down several hundred dollars so far. We could really use some extra funds.

Therefore, I'm throwing a Storm Recovery Poetry Event. It's not a prompt call because I have extra work to do. It's not a sale because we need all the extra funds we can get. I'm just making some new and older stuff available outside the usual events and hoping someone else is more flush than we are right now. Browse options below...

We are both okay.  The house and yard are okay but need more attention.  Our local friends are okay too.  This will likely cause some interruption of regular bardic services, so please be patient.

What happened is that Wednesday evening, a violent thunderstorm passed through our area wreaking some havoc.  At least one tornado formed and touched down in a town just south of us.  We wound up spending last night at a hotel in Champaign-Urbana.  Our power was our from 6:15 PM Wednesday to around 2:40 PM today.  The contents of the refrigerator and its small freezer will be a near-total loss, but much of the chest freezer contents (with a safe period around 48 hours) is likely still good.  Despite the hassles, we are grateful to have escaped most of the storm damage.  We still have a lot of cleanup and catchup to do.  I will post more details when I can.

After the 2–2 draw between Japan and the Netherlands at Dallas Stadium last weekend, a quieter scene unfolded after most fans had left. While thousands headed for the exits, groups of Japanese supporters stayed behind to clean the stands, collecting food containers, cups and scattered trash in blue bags they had brought with them (actually part of their match choreography).

The practice reflects Sodji, a cultural habit rooted in Japanese schools where students regularly clean their own classrooms and shared spaces as a form of respect and responsibility.

This kind of post-match cleanup by Japanese fans has become a familiar sight at international tournaments, often drawing attention for its contrast with typical stadium behaviour elsewhere.

Talk about cultural differences.

A joyous Juneteenth to all! This year's theme is Juneteenth in Michigan and I begin with Click on Detroit/Local 4/WDIV reporting Juneteenth 2026 in Metro Detroit — what to know.

From parades and block parties to artist markets and talks, there are plenty of ways to commemorate Juneteenth across Metro Detroit this week.
Sounds like a lot of fun! WXYZ has more in Juneteenth celebration scheduled at Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park on Fri[d]ay.

The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy is celebrating Juneteenth with an event at Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park.
This entry has now earned the poem label.

Detroit isn't having all the fun in the Great Lakes State. WNEM TV5 in Saginaw, Flint, Midland and Bay City reported Juneteenth plans in Flint for 54th year.

Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley said Flint was the first city in Michigan to officially recognize Juneteenth in 2020, a year before the federal government.
I didn't know that about Flint, so I learned something new. That makes today a good day.

I close by crossing the state with WOOD-TV reporting Juneteenth Solidarity Parade and Celebration happening in Grand Rapids.

Juneteenth was declared a federal holiday in 2021. (June 19, 2026)
That's a wrap for today's celebration of the newest federal holiday. Stay tuned for more, American Eagle Day, National Seashell Day, the Summer Solstice, World Giraffe Day 2025, Father's Day, World Rainforest Day, Detroit-style Pizza Day, and the first of two World UFO Days. I love holidays!

Looking across the Columbia from around Lyle

 


 

One of the nicer things about road trips is that it gets you away from the “news”.  

I have been looking at my sources of news lately and I am becoming increasingly dissatisfied with what I am seeing.  I rely on a couple of folks who seem to have a life even more shallow than mine.  News aggregators like naked capitalism are pretty good, but they do become one trick ponies after a while.  The “news” presented seems cherry picked to fit a predetermined narrative.  

I suppose that is part of the game.  They aren’t so much reporting the news as advancing a narrative of events that fits the theoretical model that resides in the brainpan of themselves and their readers.  

But what really comes first here?  The mindframe of the reader or the business model/mindset of the “news” provider?
