I have a habit of buying books and leaving them to gather dust. Separated this lot from the bookshelf and plan on working my way through. In reality I may have just moved them from one shelf to another 😬 #Booksky

The Ramnami community of Chhattisgarh stuck two fingers up at casteism & not being allowed into temples by tattooing the name of Nirgun (unmanifest) Ram all over themselves and reciting the Ramcharitmanas daily to display & remind higher castes that God is omnipresent and accessible to everyone #RAM

Life finds a way. Scientists say a black fungus discovered in Chernobyl seems not just to survive but to “eat” radiation, using it like energy in a process called “radiosynthesis”. Could this weird adaptation help clean nuclear sites, or even shield astronauts from cosmic rays? #Science #Chernobyl

Ancient DNA studies show that the originators of the Indo‑European languages, spoken in 400+ languages worldwide lived 6,500 years ago in what’s now Russia’s lower Volga Caucasus region. Their descendants (the Yamnaya) spread across Eurasia, carrying those languages far and wide.

As a father of AuDHD children, I’m a bit concerned about Wes Streeting’s review of mental health & ADHD diagnoses. Feels like a knee jerk reaction to rightwing political rhetoric and I fear it could justify cuts to support. Still, part of me hopes it leads to something better...

I'm wearing a plain white T-Shirt & plain black jogging bottoms, both from Primarni. I've Just finished reading American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. Quite different to the film, which believe it or not, is actually tame in comparison to the novel in terms of absolute unhinged bloodlust. #Booksky

Hostile states are actively working to influence chatbots, resulting in the promotion of sanctioned content and false narratives. Our latest investigation shows how Kremlin narratives—including sanctioned sources—are making their way into mainstream AI responses.

Hay On Wye, famous as the town of books & The Hay Festival. Not sure how many bookshops it has these days but everywhere you turn, books! Even if only a bookshelf with an honesty box down an alleyway. I can recall buying Last Edit To Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jnr. here amongst others. #booksky

If you've ever delved into Theosophy you'll have heard of Lemuria. Originally proposed in 1864 by zoologist Philip Sclater to explain why lemurs lived in Madagascar & India. Blavatsky later claimed it was home to the 3rd evolutionary root race, the Lemurians in her esoteric writings. Map by Haeckal

Antique Japanese map showing the hypothetical continent of Terra Australis at the bottom. #maps #cartography

Been looking at old maps today, for centuries a hypothetical continent known as Terra Australis was included on maps. Ancient Greek geographers thought that continental land in the Northern Hemisphere should be balanced by land in the Southern Hemisphere. Until Tasman, Cook etc proved otherwise.

Google lens brings up a log of Scaly Earthball, a stomach fungi, but the cracked cap also resembles Hazel Bolete. So again, unsure. 🍄 #fungifriday #fungi

Or perhaps it's this one that's Hairy Bracket, it is after all...hairy. Also looks a bit like Hairy Curtain crust (dodgy name) from the picture I'm looking at. Not easy this identification malarkey. Give us a hand if you know. #fungifriday #fungi #FungiWithPores #Fungus

Meadow Puffball? #FungiFriday #Stomachfungi #Fungi #Puffball #Mushroom #Fungus

Initially thought Turkeytail, but now leaning toward Hairy Bracket. Even with Google lens and my mushroom book I'm still unsure. Any ideas? #fungifriday #fungi #bracket #birch

"Ur-Fascism is still around us, sometimes in plainclothes. It would be so much easier, for us, if there appeared on the world scene somebody saying, “I want to reopen Auschwitz, I want the Black Shirts to parade again in the Italian squares.” Life is not that simple." - Umberto Eco. #booksky

Fascism is inherently anti-science as it rejects truths that contradict its ideology, eg. climate change, and restricts science to serve the state. Such as using it in a distorted way to promote racialism or serve military objectives. #musicsky #roots #reggae youtu.be/Js8aTVwmTA8?...

"If our eye could penetrate the earth and see its interior from pole to pole, from where we stand to the antipodes, we would glimpse with horror a mass terrifyingly riddled with fissures and caverns." —Thomas Burnet, Telluris Theoria Sacra, Amsterdam, Wolters, 1694, p. 38

More lovely books arrived. Just finished Super-Frog in around 30 minutes. Beautifully illustrated, Kafkaesque surrealism. So glad I've discovered Murakami. Strange pictures is for my daughter but I'm not sure I can wait until after Xmas to nab it and read it for myself. 🤤 #Booksky #Japanesefiction

Received this today, it's packed with photographs & information on mushrooms and other fungi, might have to buy Grasses Ferns Mosses & Lichens next, also by Roger Phillips. #booksky #mushrooms #FungiFriends

Spent the early hours of the morning searching up Japanese fiction to buy for my Daughter as a Christmas present as she has an affinity for Japan, found myself intrigued and ended up downloading a load for kindle & ordering 2 Haruki Murakami books for myself. I did get her a couple though. 😂

Modern stress hits us nonstop, unlike rare ancestral dangers. Our sympathetic nervous system stays switched on, while the parasympathetic struggles to calm us. Practices like forest bathing/meditation help restore balance no need to think of it as spiritual woo, to treat it as relaxation is enough.
