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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami review – a labour of love
The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami review – a labour of love
Murakami revisits a hypnotic city of dreams, in material he’s been working on for four decades

A very sad post to share, but in case you didn’t know Prof Gemma Carey has died.
For those no longer on Twitter
Sadly Gemma Carey has passed away.
She was a fierce advocate until the end for those with disability
