counterbalance - Season 1 Episode 10: 15 March 2023: *Interference - Arepanuka - 100th day of Bäkkos, 5th year of the Var, 101st Generation/ After their encounter with the last bunch of spirits, Raka, Lyn and Malaki enter a nearby town to warn them of the nearby threats. But the inhabitants are less than happy about their pressence... [that was such a well written episode, and something could be a difficult lesson at the same time. It hits on the very serious subject of racism, but obviously in a fantasy setting. The abusive ways that characters talk to each other in the episode highlight the trouble with racial , but with one of the characters trying to explain how these things can change. The fact is that the characters seem to have been changing through all of the episodes so far anyway does show a positive line to this. I think it was incredibly creative writing.]

Ghost: Scary Stories for Halloween - 17 October 2025: *The October Records Episode 17: The Doctor - Dr. Ashford's autopsies reveal bodies are just skin containing black water that forms words when drained-"We are becoming the lake"— while Mr. Foster's corpse releases gallons of water containing hundreds of microscopic versions of himself, all drowning and transforming simultaneously. Dr. Christopher Ashford, Marcus's son, shows Margaret seventeen standing corpses surrounding a floating baby that emerged from Mrs.
Patterson after fifty years of reverse pregnancy, explaining that every founding family member carries a seed of their original self from 1774. / The Ashford doctors are revealed as one consciousness dispersed across time, studying how Millbrook's entire population exists dissolved in the water supply, transforming people from inside into colonies of microscopic selves. Most horrifying is Sarah Blackwood's actual corpse from 1774, preserved in frozen time, still in labor after 251 years-the thirty babies trying to be born as humans while Davidson keeps them monstrous to maintain his immortality. / Christopher gives Margaret a vial containing the real Sarah, instructing her to drink it on Halloween to become Sarah completely, give birth to the thirty as humans, and poison IT from inside when Davidson murders her again.

The male House Wren stays at it until a female pairs with him. Then she picks one of the starter nests and takes over construction.

BirdNote Daily - 21 April 2023: *What's a Field of Grass to a Bird? - Although a field of grass might not seem like valuable habitat at first, many birds have adapted to nest in grassland habitats and nowhere else. In North America, birds such as the Bobolink seek out grasslands to raise their young, deftly hiding their nests within the dense vegetation. Very few grasslands and savannas have been protected compared to the area that's been lost, making them the most at-risk ecosystem on the planet. That means every acre of grassland remaining is even more precious - to birds, to plants, and to people.
