From The Nature Notes of an Edwardian Lady, Edith Holden, 1905.
CELANDINE Pansics, lillies, king-cups, aii; Let them live upon their praises. Long as theres a sun that sets; Prim-roses will have their glory. Long as there are violets, They will have a place in story; There a a flower that shall be mine. Tis the little Celandine." Ere a leaf is on a bush In the time before the thrush Has a thought about her nest, Thou wilt come with half a call, Spreading out their glosy breast Like a careless Prodigal; Telling tales about the sun, When we've little warmth, or none." WORDSWORTH. SNOWDROP. "Thou first-born of the year's delight Pride of the dewy glade, In vernal green, and virgin white Thy vestal robes array?." 21| KEBLE.

"A Room of One’s Own" by Virginia Woolf demonstrates that creative rebirth can be sparked when women carve out spaces for their own ideas, reclaiming agency over their minds and futures. #BookWormSat

dreamt a daunting day dawned on me today, drowned my duties out and left me nought to say, i sat and, through the window, saw the ghosts of yesterday smiling back at me, they're better off this way

"The eyes of others, our prisons; their thoughts, our cages." Woolf’s words remind us to free ourselves from the weight of external expectations. #BookWormSat

listening to enduser at 2:32 am, sterilising my mind of all of the day's filth. I am tired and lonely, and that is why I'll keep going

A Dictionary of Fairies: Hobgoblins, Brownies, Bogies, and Other Supernatural Creatures, Katharine Mary Briggs, 1976.
Midwife to the fairies But they still have their powers. All of them can travel immense distances as swiftly as the moon. The chief ones among them can change their size and shape. When they quarrel, all nature is affected and the seasons are out of gear. Like all fairies they have great herbal knowledge; they have power over human offspring and can bless marriage beds. Like most fairies they are amorous of mortals. They have their FAIRY RADES like the HEROIC FAIRIES. These are good fairies, the SEELIE COURT, benevolent to mortals except for an occasional jest, ready to help those who are in need. In other plays of Shakespeare there are mentions of fairies, the best-known, perhaps, being Mercutio's description in Romeo and Juliet of Queen MAB, the midwife of dreams, an intentionally comic description. There is the invocation to the fairies in Cymbeline, where, in pagan Britain, the fairies take the place of God. When we come to The Tempest we have full treatment of a fairy again, if we may call Ariel a fairy; he is perhaps rather an elemental - a sylph; but he can summon fairies to help him in his revels and he sings their songs. Midwife to the fairies. From the earliest times there have been stories of mortal women summoned to act as midwives to fairy mothers among the themes of the DEPENDENCE OF FAIRIES ON MORTALS. One of the latest of these was of a district nurse summoned by a queer old man who boarded a bus near Greenhow Hill in Yorkshire. He conducted the nurse to a cave in the side of Greenhow Hill, and the occupants turned out to be a family of PIXIES. The interesting point here, since the pixies are not native to Yorkshire, is that Greenhow Hill was said to have been mined by Cornishmen. The anecdote had currency in the 1920s and after. The FAIRY OINTMENT motif does not occur in this version. The earliest version of the midwife tale is to be found in GERVASE OF TILBURY'S 13th-century Otia Imperialis.

Awful. OpenAI (and other AI cos) are making a hard push for getting AI into K-12 schools, which they see as a burgeoning market. Most teachers I've spoken to, meanwhile, say AI is terrible.

Outside of computer class, there should be no gen AI in K12 schools, period.

Yes, it's fun to be outraged and dunk on the alt-right extremists posting on Ex-twitter in support of the fascist lunatic and his picks.

I politely suggest maybe don't do it here on Bluesky. Please?

We came here to get away from the toxicity. Let's stop treating Ex-twitter as worthy of repeating.
