There will be a bonus fishbowl on Tuesday, March 17. The theme will be "anything goes." If you want a continuation of an earlier piece, or something totally new, that doesn't fit the usual themes, then now's your chance. Brainstorm in advance and jot down ideas for later. You can also request any favorite series, character, setting, etc.

These questions were suggested by

spiralsheep.

1. Have you ever watched illusion magic? Close-up, or in a stage show, or on television? Did it work for you?

2. Have you ever wished on a star, or a lucky cat, or a coin in a wishing well? Did it work in some way?

3. Have you ever cast a spell, made a love charm, or tried a curse? Did it work in some way?

4. Are there any other traditional superstitions you pay attention to? Do they work in some way?

5. Would you want major magical powers like in a fantasy story? Which powers, and how would you use them?

Copy and paste to your own journal, then reply to this post with a link to your answers. If your journal is private or friends-only, you can post your full answers in the comments below.

If you'd like to suggest questions for a future Friday Five, then do so on DreamWidth or LiveJournal. Old sets that were used have been deleted, so we encourage you to suggest some more!

Complete Guide To (57) Almost All Types Of Fiber Arts With Photos

This guide covers 57, and counting, types of fiber arts. They are broken down into two major categories:

1) String work, which includes spinning treatments, knotting, lace making, weaving and needlework.

2) Felt work, which includes sculpture, string felt, fur felt, wet felting and dry felting.

Fiber art, in its strictest sense, is fine art made with natural or synthetic fibers, such as wool and cotton, to acrylic and nylon, where the resulting work is valued for aesthetic and artistic expression over utility. You could add that the artisanship and materials used are also an essential part of the creation.

Today is mostly sunny and chilly.

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

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted the first 2 of 6 'Patriot' hostas in the purple-and-white garden. These have green leaves with a wide white margin.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted 2 hostas in the forest garden.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted the last 2 hostas in the log garden.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I sprayed weed killer on the sprouting stumps in the parking lot.

I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches. There are many more house finches now than last month.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- My partner Doug found someone to come out and remove stumps from the parking lot, path to the east edge of the yard, and in front of the shed. Also he's going to take down the last two saplings in front of the garage. We have price and a date for next Thursday. :D 3q3q3q!!!

I filled a bag with loose cans and other garbage that had collected in the parking lot. Still more to do, but it's a good start.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I filled another bag with loose cans from the parking lot. I think that's all the small stuff that I can clear quickly.

I am done for the night.

Lakota-Led AI Research at Bard College Explores Ethics Through Indigenous Knowledge

At Bard’s Wíhaŋble S’a Center, artist and scholar Suzanne Kite is rethinking artificial intelligence through Lakota knowledge—combining hide tanning, beadwork, dream research, and land-based practice to imagine a more ethical relationship with technology.

I'm reminded of Ash coding in ternary for Schrodinger's Heroes.
