Omg this looks so pretty !
In 1927 the first collected edition of The Flower Faries by Cicely Mary Barker was published. It contains fairies of the spring, summer and autumn.

This is insane. I’m glad the case was dropped but it shouldn’t have been entertained in the first place
Completely crazy that anyone should be able to tradmark the word sabzi (cooked vegetables) in the UK

I called my recipe book Sabzi – vegetables. But the name was trademarked. And my legal ordeal began
The granting of patents and trademarks to foods and words from the global south is part of a long colonial grab. It’s time to realise we share what we cook, and what we call it

There was a video on X, said to depict "peak male behaviour", showing a boulder being pushed intentionally to roll down a hillside and go crashing away into the trees, and it occurred to me that a good way to discern masculinity from stupidity and wanton destruction is to consider >

I see a lot of polite debate about immigration to the UK that completely ignores the fact that some folks aren't upset about immigration levels today. No, they're furious about the existence of ethnic minority Brits.

Country A produces lots of musicians
Country B produces lots of software developers
There is a demand for developers in country A.
Should you :
1. Allow some developers to be hired from country B
2. Force the musicians in country A to swot CLRS in 4 weeks time and never touch an oboe again?

The reality of the whole situation in 2020 and 2021 in India was so bad that I don’t know whether the collective amnesia around it is preferable to half-hearted attempts to preserve sanitized versions of it. I guess good on NG for at least trying?

Wait a second. No mention of the CAA NRC protests, no mention of the Delhi anti-Muslim violence … what is happening in this film 👀
Had to pause at the lockdown scene starting. Can’t really take this now :/

Started watching Homebound. I know some of you thought it was bad, but so far it’s… decent if very, very predictable.

Beware of making yourself a nuisance by a doleful expression. When you enter a room, people should feel as if a gleam of sunshine had been let into it.
