The San Diego mother of 5 (6th died in infancy) completed half a correspondence art course after high school & had no training as a #mathematician but was always interested in #math & art. She began to follow SciAm writer/amateur mathematician Martin Gardner's column,…

In #JapaneseFolklore a todaiki is a #yokai created by a sorcerer using black magic to transform their enemy into a living candle, unable to speak or move. In one tale the man who became a todaiki was sitting still, completely covered in tattoos, with a candle upon his head, almost like a piece of furniture.

Minimus is nibbling a pastinaca (carrot) with his sharp little dentes (teeth). The Romans brought carrots to Britain, but they weren't luteae (orange) back then, but albae (white).

The best thing about this door of a 16th century house in old town Goslar is that it is on the second floor.
No balcony, no stairs, just land gingerly on the van below.

I walked a path through the snow. I was followed.

The Cheesewring, Bodmin Moor, #Cornwall (UK).

This impossible weathered granite outcrop must surely have provided a reliable source of worried inspiration for many generations of Bronze Age megalith hoickers.

Fascinating article here from Hakai magazine on the historical importance of string and rope, and just how far back that history goes. The picture of coiled ropes from 4000 years ago sends shivers down my spine. https://hakaimagazine.com/features/the-long-knotty-world-spanning-story-of-string/?omhide=true&utm_source=Hakai+Magazine+Weekly&utm_campaign=68957ad895-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06_COPY_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0fc1967411-68957ad895-121628661 #ocean #string #rope

Looks like the penguins at the Old Flint Mill on the Kelvin Walkway in Glasgow had a bit of a wild Saturday night!

#dindefelo is known because of its #waterfall.
we tried to get there by #bicycle, but with this rocky hikingpath we had no chance. so we hid them and went on by foot.
the air and water were really refreshing and finally we could fill our bottles with tasty water. 😋

Even if he hadn’t written three of the most-loved #DoctorWho stories, Chris Boucher would be a legend for just this line:

"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

RIP Chris 💙💙

I feel like this is a real long shot, but I want to see if Mastodon can help me connect with more fans of my absolute favorite band, since I can't find any groups dedicated to them anywhere else. There's a subreddit, but it's barely active. Their name is penny and Sparrow, and they're a couple of weird folk singer dudes from Texas who were once pretty Christian, but they've since deconstructed and now I'm not sure what they are. Their lyrics aren't as explicitly spiritual as they once were, in any case.

I saw them in concert in April of last year, and it was the best live music experience of my life so far. I almost started crying as soon as I heard the opening notes of their first song, which, incidentally, was Adeline, one of my favorite songs of theirs. It was everything I could have asked for from seeing them live and then some.

Anyway, I hate it when people ask for boosts on their posts, but I would love it if y'all could boost this so it might have a better chance of reaching people who love them if they're on here. It's very sad to love something so much and not know anyone else who loves it the same way. I want them to be more popular.
