😳 Vadim Makhorov Photographer, Director, Producer Walrus on Ratmanov Island "Imagine animals this big - up to 4m in length and up to 1.5t in weight - immovable on land, but they're quick and agile in water! No aggression was felt from them, only curiosity, because not often someone visits them."

Whenever people ask me if I'm a gifted artist.

“The data that everyone needs to know is that 96% of debut authors will sell less than 5,000 copies. . .The data also shows that the best seller, or that breakthrough book, comes between the 3rd title & the 5th.” #writers #WritingCommunity #books aliahabib.substack.com/p/merchants-...

Warsaw opens metro station ‘express’ library to get commuters off their phones

From the Editorial Board: Neuroscientists have found that when people read, their brains don’t just process words — they simulate the story world. By contrast, social media rarely demands such deep simulation.

I planted tulips, lilies, and a bearded iris for next year. It's an act of almost naive and insane optimism, planting now to enjoy in 6 or 7 or 9 months. The iris instruction was wrong. It stated plant 4-6" deep. Nope. Plant at soil surface level. #Gardening 🌱

Make sure to include some banned books in that fantastic little library .

Here's a selection of Anglo Saxon buildings for your delectation and delight: The remarkably complete C10th Anglo-Saxon tower at All Saints’ church, Earls Barton, Northamptonshire. Worth cracking the photo open to see. #thread #throwbackthursday

A book cover for the first of October. Gonna be sharing the spookier covers all month.

Thought I’d bring you along on my afternoon hike. I’m calling this one Noon in the Aspen Grove. Including my heavy breathing. At 8,300 ft, many of you would be huffing it too. 😉 #nature #hiking #RockyMountians #Colorado

Khao Sok National Park in #Thailand is only visited by 70k tourists a year. It’s one of those rare, breathtaking places the masses haven’t overrun yet. Our longboat of 6 was the only one in the area. You can kayak, swim and even spend the night in a floating bungalow. #travel #nature

This is so sad

2% of parents reading to their children just breaks my heart. Reading to my child is one of my favourite things.

This is sad. But not surprising.

I hear people fussing because kids aren't learning, this may be part of why. They don't see their parents read, they don't read themselves, and limit reading to what they are required to in school and in some cases may read on their phones to do that, No examples to read.

If you are an #American who reads for pleasure, you are in the vast minority. A 20 year study of more than 230k Americans found that only 16% read for pleasure in 2023 and only 2% of parents read to their children. #booksky #reading #writingcommunity
