Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

When I was a kid, my mum used to ask me, "What would you like to stitch today?" 9 out of 10 times I'd say "a rainbow!" 😊

There is a #yokai known as kosenjobi (translates as ancient battlefield fire) that are found in places where battles have been fought and many deaths have occurred. They appear as groups of flaming balls floating around forlornly over ancient battlefields.

This paradise was mine. I let it go for my children. This weekend, returning for my daughters marriage has been hard. But it has been loved, and cared for. And I take comfort from that.
Still weeping a bit though...

My embroidered Denim Jacket Progress:
Continuing with the "World Culture" theme, I was imagining an Australian goanna in a first nation style. I feel a South American element has also slipped in, but that might just be the use of turquoise.
