@ilanaslightly @bookstodon Points about LeGuin are spot on for me as well.

A remarkable discovery at University of Sheffield. "Skeleton SK3870 was discovered in 2007 during excavations at what was once All Saints Church [Fishergate] on the site of the ...York Barbican. ...this medieval woman was buried in a tightly crouched position within the apse of the church foundations, a small room located behind the altar." She is likely Lady Isabel German, an anchoress [known to have resided there in the 15th century. #medieval #York @medievodons https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/mysterious-skeleton-revealed-be-unusual-lady-anchoress-york-barbican

@brewsterkahle @internetarchive I hope you're not suggesting donating other people's ebooks that are still in copyright.

"“... during interrogation [Moret] was asked to name the ‘anti-government’ authors in the catalogue of [his] publishing house La Fabrique,” said the publishers. “None of these questions should be relevant to a British police officer.”Karen Sullivan, Orenda, there “can be no doubt that international publishers and authors – many of whom use their positions in the media spotlight to highlight societal issues – will think twice about visiting the UK” . @bookstodon https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/20/chilling-arrest-of-french-publisher-by-uk-counter-terrorism-police-condemned-ernest-moret

I had a magical #walk this morning, my usual route, down the one lane wooded hill to the lake. I started a conversation with a neighbor walking her dog & discovered she's a steward of the creek area. We watched a young eagle eating a fish up in a cottonwood that overhangs the lake, saw 2 grey herons on the creek, I learned the names of many of the shrubs, where the turtles hang out, & the beavers...I love my neighborhood.

@grammargirl I bargained with my ENT and speech therapist to stop drinking green tea at 10 am. Ginger tea the rest of the day. It's made a difference.

@clive Why anyone uses them for books where there are so many independents online, and bookshop.org, I don't understand.

@clive I have a branch of Third Place Books nearby--can order a book online and they call me when it's there to pick up. Always find another to buy while I'm there. That's part of the experience.

I am going to be pondering this quote for a long while: "She fears that present-day deforestation might result in the loss of that traditional knowledge. "'The forests have always been our pharmacy, but they’re killing them as if they were people,” Pachaka said of the nearby settlers." #ClimateChange from: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/longform/2024/5/19/nothing-left-how-climate-change-pushes-indigenous-people-from-their-land
