It's firefly time in Bellingen
* "In the early evening, flashing lights can often be seen cruising around in the forest. These are the little lanterns on the underside of the abdomen of a carnivorous beetle of the family lampyridae. These beetles have been misnamed fireflies. It is believed that the flashing light is used by males and females to attract each other." >>
https://www.wettropics.gov.au/fireflies* Tidy gardens and landscape maintenance equipment unleash a blitzkrieg on the little fairies of the soil. The ubiquitous lawn mowers "mowing the grass" like a military strategy, so no soil micro-diversity shall survive. Line trimmers, debris blowers, chainsaws, bobcats, bulldozers and a dash of chemicals complete the terraforming.
* Fireflies under threat from habitat loss, pesticides and light pollution
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/feb/04/fireflies-under-threat-habitat-loss-pesticides-light-pollutionImage: Fireflies, Franz von Stuck, detail,1898 (Children/ fauns in awe, amazed about the wonder of energy efficiency in nature.)

'Goblin Lanterns' by Helen Hyde, 1906.
#fairies #faerie #goblin #fairytale #art -
I was talking to a friend last week about a personal/work project I had about 10 years ago where every month or so, I had to change my mind (properly!) about something I believed in – Which in this case, meant I had to go and seek things out because it’s really hard to do every month unless it’s active.
It’s half of the reason I spent so long embedded in Flat-Earth and Scientology; the other half was that I was researching pathways to radicalisation and trying to trace a lot of them to the source and exit.
I was listening to a Sherlock Holmes podcast yesterday and realised that being able to change your mind completely about something is a core investigative skill (and this is how I increased my B2B sales… No! No… Away with you LinkedIn!).
Good investigative technique means having a theory of the case from the start, but then, importantly, it means deliberately challenging it and then changing it, when new evidence emerges. It can be a lot of paperwork and mental gymnastics. Sticking to the original theory of a case and looking for evidence to support it is what created the Birmingham Six and the Central Park Five. Completely irresponsible and incompetent police work and static minds are a liability to any good casework (see also: Donald Trump who is still trying to execute the CP5).
This isn’t really going anywhere except to note that although Sherlock was excellent at changing case-theories (and does so a lot in the books), his creator, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, of Cottingley Fairies and Harry Houdini feud fame, was so bad at it that he’d certainly have had a leadership role waiting in the West Midlands Police any time.
Ironically, the person in his most famous stories that he can be most said to resemble, is Lestrade of the Yard.

Another sketch from the 15-year-old Richard Doyle's journal of 1841. This shows him as he imagined himself lying in a fever and being surprised by hallucinations of all manner of #fairies and otherworldly little creatures. #BookChatWeekly #booksky #Victorian #illustration #artsky

Faeries, rooted in global folklore, are connected to swamps, which serve as mysterious gateways between realms. Observations of luminous beings and ethereal music in these ecosystems suggest a deeper relationship. #fairies #swamps #fae https://connectparanormal.net/2025/12/23/faeries-and-their-connection-to-swamps/

@Melody_M As an #SF&F author, I've got some opinions about books in the genre!
I am not seeing all the replies, but I know someone recommended On Basilisk Station by #DavidWeber. This starts a fabulous space opera series with the main character a young naval officer named #HonorHarrington. The spin-offs are good, too. Your profile indicates some military background, so you'll appreciate it more. With a name like "Honor," you can bet ethics and principles come up a lot, and how this conflicts with winning or whether your side is good or bad. The subtext highlights the tensions between western cultures in our age, and how modern nations may look the same if you look at their cities—but Germany, the US, UAE, and Saudi Arabia are quite different when you look closer, and so is how they express their might.
For pure fantasy, assuming you're new to the genres, why not find #AnneMcCaffery's Dragon series? The spin-offs are good, if you can't get enough. I like #AndreNorton, but her series are retro and may be harder to find than Anne's, with some not in print.
For #urbanfantasy and books you can buy now, I cannot recommend #PatricaBriggs Mercy Thompson series enough. #Fairies, #Werewolves, and #Vampires coming out to modern society (mostly) and in a way that feels visceral and real. Romance, adventure, and coming of age.
As a #ClarionWest grad, I'd like to recommend two of my cohort to you, not just because I now them, but they're stories are amazing—and they are great human beings.
James S.A. Corey (1/2 a pen name for #DanielAbraham). The #Expanse series is hardcore SF at its #Heinlein best. Peak at Daniel's fantasy book, too! Look for the third name he publishes under, and you'll find great, snarky, urban fantasy. References to #PinkMartini, anyone?
#DianaRowland writes urban fantasy, but with the background of a former police officer (I think she made detective). Start with My Life as a White Trash Zombie for a #zombie coroner. Maybe a conflict of interest there? Start with Mark of the Demon for a #demon summoner who's also a detective, with, again, some conflicts of interest. Adventure, mystery, and romance, too.
If someone asks nicely, I may recommend my book.
