from lao tzu's's tao te ching (leguin's rendition)

excerpt from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, as translated and interpreted by Ursula K LeGuin, including a footnote from the latter

76
Hardness

Living people
are soft and tender.
Corpses are hard and stiff.
The ten thousand things, the living grass, the trees, are soft, pliant.
Dead, they're dry and brittle.

So hardness and stiffness go with death;
tenderness, softness, go with life.

And the hard sword fails, the stiff tree's felled.
The hard and great go under.
The soft and weak stay up.

---

In an age when hardness is supposed to be the essence of strength, and even the beauty of women is reduced nearly to the bone, I welcome this reminder that tanks and tombstones are not very adequate role models, and that to be alive is to be vulnerable.

excerpt from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, as translated and interpreted by Ursula K LeGuin

78
Paradoxes
Nothing in the world
is as soft, as weak, as water; nothing else can wear away the hard, the strong, and remain unaltered.
Soft overcomes hard, weak overcomes strong.
Everybody knows it, nobody uses the knowledge.

So the wise say:
By bearing common defilements
you become a sacrificer at the altar of earth; by bearing common evils you become a lord of the world.

Right words sound wrong.

Halloween costumes for birders. This is from last year and someone actually did the sexy owl pellet one.

A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.

Had vandaag een gesprek met een leerling die al zo lang ik 'm ken computer science wil gaan studeren, maar nu iets anders wil gaan doen omdat programmeur/software developer worden 'm door de veranderingen door AI niet meer leuk lijkt. Hij heeft geen zin om de hele dag code van de chatbot te checken

the french govt is using “innovative” methods of brutalizing HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT PROTESTERS but the thing that’s got macron most exercised? one sign shown during a broadcast about these nationwide demonstrations (first image, english; second, original)

a tweet from
insane moments in french politics
@InsaneFrenchPol

President Macron reportedly “furious” about public TV channel France 2 after it aired a news report on ongoing student protests which included images of a sign reading “Macron, fuck your teacher, not ours!” (2026)

a photo of French students protesting, taken by the program 13H, in which many young people are holding signs. the highest-held sign—the one Macron is reportedly objecting to—says “MACRON BZ TA PROF PAS LES NOTRES”

Knitting is fun—and easy to mess up. In a recent study, mathematicians used knot theory to design a new type of knitting stitch that stops mistakes from spreading across the fabric.

With a little help from knot theory, scientists have invented a “robust knit” to fight laddering
