It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows. (1/n)

If you live in an urban or suburban area with crows, it's not hard to befriend them. Rural crows are harder but not impossible. First and foremost they like food. Peanuts in the shell are a favorites but anything works; crows are omnivorous. Below, my friend Salty. (3/n)

The first in a series of Post stories I'm writing about the science of aging. I hope we all turn out to be 'brain youthers' wapo.st/3V5DTut

Inside your body, aging unfolds at remarkably different rates
New research shows aging is not a uniform process. Parts of our bodies start aging earlier than others, right down to our organs and cells.

What is “ordinary mind”? It is said to be immediate awareness, Untainted by either faults or good qualities, Left as it naturally is. It is sustaining the continuous flow of awareness. Misunderstanding this, to identify it as one’s ordinary, autonomous mundane thinking is an error. ~ Jigme Lingpa

Suññatā: Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Everything arises from causes and conditions, with no fixed essence. Emptiness isn’t nothingness—it’s the interconnection of endless possibility.

The John Le Carré Advent Calendar - My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books. (with apologies to @realjohnlecarre.bsky.social and @harkaway.bsky.social)
Title: The John Le Carré Advent Calendar - Available in all good bookshops.

Description -  December 1st to 23rd: open the door to watch Gerorge Smiley reluctantly uncover a conspiracy as he wanders around the damp, dilapidated London of the seventies.

(images of six of the doors, showing a stick figure os Smiley going about his business in shades of browny-gray)

December 24th: Having solved the mystery and written his resignation letter, Smiley eats Christmas dinner alone.

(image of Smiley at a table with a letter, unappetising portion of food and glass of wine, in browny-gray)

I always thought the J Peterman catalog Elaine worked for in some Seinfeld eps was made up. But noooo. This week I found a couple of old Peterman catalogs in a Sydney op shop. There were four. I bought them all. Excellent holiday reading for those suffering silly season short attention spans.

The yin-yang view of the world is serenely cyclic. Fortune and misfortune, life and death,whether on small scale or vast, come and go everlastingly without beginning or end, and the whole system is protected from monotony by the fact that, in just the same way,remembering alternates with forgetting.

Has anyone here read this new Murakami? I have loved his work throughout my adult life and am completely absorbed by his new book - but this review is a bit less enthusiastic. #murakami #bskybooks #reading

In honor of the 120th anniversary of Graham Greene's birth this past Wednesday, a favorite line from a book I was very surprised to like (though I fully expected to admire it), *The Quiet American*: #favoritelinefridays #GrahamGreene
Open hands on a dark background. Text: "Innocence always calls mutely for protection when we would be so much wiser to guard ourselves against it: Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm."

As part of my morning meeting, I showed these cars by Richard Scarry to them and asked "Which car would you choose and why?" It was interesting to hear their answers.
