The Light Eaters by @zoeschlanger.bsky.social is such a wonderful book. The number of times I've had to tell someone about what I've just read. In the opening chapters you really feel Zoe fall in love with plants and it's a beautiful read. If you want to see plants with new eyes please read it.

I've been using Ecosia for 10 days now and not missed Google once. I've planted trees and generally enjoyed the experience of doing a little positivity as I search. I'm a web developer by day so probably a bit more picky than the average person when it comes to Internet things too. 🌲🌳🌴💚

Jar with Anthropomorphic Figure ceramic with resinous postfire paint 650–150 BCE Paracas Ocucaje area, Ica Valley, south coast, Peru #handmade #art #culture #religion #paracas #peru #flyingfigure #afterlife #spiritual #fertility #agriculture #ancientart #ancientpottery #precolumubian #prehispanic

The figure depicted on the Paracas pottery bowl is typically interpreted as a supernatural or anthropomorphic "flying figure". These figures are common motifs in Paracas art and are believed to represent beings from an otherworldly or supernatural realm.
The figure combines human-like traits with other features, such as claws and a three-point mouth.
The way the figures are oriented on the bowl suggests they are flying or moving through a different realm, possibly related to the mountains which were considered a supernatural area.
Similar figures in Paracas and the related Nasca culture often appear alongside other mythical beings and sometimes incorporate elements like "trophy heads," suggesting a connection to ritual and agricultural abundance beliefs.
Paracas art, in general, reflects the culture's deep investment in the afterlife and their dependence on the natural world and agricultural cycles, with these figures likely playing a role in their cosmology and rituals.

Very useful framing by @brianklaas.bsky.social of two kinds of “knowingness:” “Type 1: People who think they know but they don’t; and Type 2: People who don’t want to know. Type 1 Knowingness can be cured. When someone also has Type 2, it’s much more stubborn.” www.forkingpaths.co/p/knowingnes...

"Knowingness" and the Politics of Ignorance

Much ink has been spilled about "polarization." Most of it ignores a major cause: the widespread, misplaced faith that we already know that which we do not know.

My favorite (perhaps apocryphal) anecdote along these lines was when a newspaper editor did an auto find and replace for “the queen” and changed it to match the style guide to “Queen Elizabeth II” but didn’t realise that edition also had a science article on the social behavior of bees.
