[Tits (not real, not birds)] Someone left a pair of tits at Santa Lucia’s altar and I’m confused. #LatourOnTour #Porto #Portugal

A pair of tits leaning against a rococo, guilded decoration, on a white tablecloth on an Asia that also had two yellow candles lying on it.

Today is a good day! My dad and I collect depictions of “Virgin and Child with Saint Anne” (or “Anna te drieën” in Dutch). There aren’t that many of them, so imagine my delight when I found one in the museum at St. Francisco’s church in Porto! #Art #LatourOnTour #Porto #Portugal

Close-up of a wood-carved polychrome sculpture of Saint Anne holding the Virgin Mary in her left hand and the baby JC in her right. Saint Anne wears an elaborate crown and stares into the distance

The full sculpture, almost entirely covered in gold.

The sign saying: Holy mothers (Saint Anne, Our Lady and the Child Jesus) polychrome, gilded, “estofado” wood. Portugal, 16th century, 160 x 56 x 42 cm

I guess the inventor of the citrus press repurposed their early prototypes as decorations for the Jerónimos Monastery. #LatourOnTour #Upcycling #Lisbon

A stone decoration on the inside of a stone arch. Is vaguely floral, with the “flower” in the centre looking much like a citrus press.

A similar decoration, but with larger “ridges” for the citrus press part

A third decoration, but now with the citrus press part having many more ridges.

Oh, @venite ! Ik was nog vergeten om je de groeten te doen vanaf vuurtoren Van Speyk in Egmond aan Zee! #Vuurtoren #Egmond #EgmondAanZee #LatourOnTour #Lighthouse #Beach #Strand #Vakantie #Zee #Sea

Kikvorsperspectief van de vuurtoren tegen een blauwe lucht met wat wolkjes. De vuurtoren is wit, met in donkergroene letters "J.C.J. Van Speyk" en donkergroene kransen als decoratie. Voor de vuurtoren ligt een donkergroene leeuw met een vlag.

Een blik op de vuurtoren van wat verder weg en de andere kant. Nu gaat de toren een beetje schuil achter een duin bedekt met helmgras. Er lopen een paar mensen op de top van het duin.

Uitzicht op het dor, een kerk, en een kapelletje, met in de achtergrond meer duinen. De meeste daken zijn van oranje, bruine en grijze dakpannen.

Uitzicht vanaf de vuurtoren op het strand en de boulevard, met ook een parkeerplaats en een stuk duin. De Slagschaduw van de vuurtoren valt op het duin.

[Pic of dead spider (small)] Supposedly a giant spider is stalking my bus stop, but I haven’t seen it yet. #Spider #Maps #Mapstodon

Fragment of a map of the bio science campus of Leiden University. The bus stop is marked by a red sm circle with a red dot in the middle. A poor (dead!) spider is squeezed in between the map and the plexiglass cover, in such a way that it makes it look like it’s about to attack the bus stop.

The graph view of my Obsidian vault. It's coloured dots to a dark grey background. There's one large connected component, a smaller one, a few tiny ones and a bunch of orphans. There are clear clusters in red and green and yellow. Some of the green clusters have purple centers. Some of the yellow clusters have cyan centers. A few big yellow dots are visible in the middle. Most of the orphans are green and red.

$Introduction to PGF. In the following 4 lines of introduction, I have highlighted the words "pretty, good, functional". The PGF package, where “PGF” is supposed to mean “portable graphics format” (or “pretty, good, functional” if you prefer...), is a package for creating graphics in an “inline” manner. It defines a number of TEX commands that draw graphics. For example, the code \tikz \draw (0pt,0pt) -- (20pt,6pt); yields the line — and the code \tikz \fill[orange](1ex,1ex) circle (lex); yields <orange circle>.$

A small and quiet residential street next to a tiny canal. We see a black and white cat on the left bank looking towards a swan swimming in the water. Left are houses and the street, right the canal and trees and hedges. Along the water there are decorative, lantern-like lamp posts, and the locals have put out flower pots with different plants along their houses and the waterside. There’s a small bridge across the water.

I'm kinda sad that "the organisation" and "the author" have to remain so anonymous in this context. Not only is the chapter in question censored from a Dutch publication, the reporting about it provides too little detail to know what exactly has been censored. […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

Excerpt from linked article. Text:

Lawyer

The conversation between this organisation and the author was experienced by
the American colleague as intimidating, and a lawyer was set on both the
researcher and the European publisher. They were faced with the prospect of a
lengthy legal battle. In view of the interests of, among others, early-career
researchers and less privileged authors from the Global South, everyone
involved made a painful choice: publication without the controversial
contribution. It was a devilish dilemma, because all parties hold academic
freedom in the highest regard.”
