One of countless unexploded bombs in north-eastern Laos, left by the US during the Secret War (1964–1973). Their presence creates 'exclusion zones' where the land is still unsafe for agriculture or habitation, showing the lasting impact of conflict.

Last day of November & meteorological Autumn, which has galloped by. Last blooms of the season from Clementina Carbonieri, Vanessa Bell & Lady of Shalott, all grown in pots. Will cut them back today to encourage them to hibernate for winter.
Have a good day. #roses 🌱

The Carnassarie Standing Stones, situated near Carnassarie Castle in Argyll. A large Bronze Age cairn lies some 150 metres to the north of the stones. 📸 My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Prehistory #Argyll

The alpha wolf thing that the right is so obsessed with isn't natural behaviour. It's only been observed in captivity.

Traditional authoritarian models of education deliberately try and create similar conditions, especially boarding schools.

www.sciencenorway.no/ulv/wolf-pac...
Wolf packs don’t actually have alpha males and alpha females, the idea is based on a misunderstanding
The researcher who introduced this term tried to clear the confusion up two decades ago, but the myth still lives on.

The siller moonlicht straiks ower
this boorach o neds that jumped me,
hellbent oan ma daith…

—Frances Robson, “Daith o Saint Andrew”

A Scots poem for #StAndrewsDay – inspired by Peter Howson’s “Andrew, Portrait of a Saint”
#poem #poetry
www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/daith-o...
Daith o Saint Andrew by Frances Robson The siller moonlicht straiks ower this boorach o neds that jumped me, hellbent oan ma daith. Ah feel the reek o nicotine an mingin bodies. There’s Auld Bawheid, gowpin lik a trout; an Wee Yin bummin’ awa at me an speirin: Haw, Andra, whaur’s yer God noo? Naething lik bein stark deid, is there, pal? Thir’s a hale tsunami o fowk soomin towards me: some wifies are staunin lik bubblyjocks at Christmas. But wan lassie is hunkered doon oan a cauld stane in the clarty watter unner ma feet, luikin glaikit an disjaskit, as if she’s hud a lugfu o Sunday sermons. Here’s nae place fur a lassie. Whit are they daein here? Is there naethin oan telly? Or is the Net doon oan thir computers? Ocht, wid ye luik at thir een poppin oot thir heids, ettlin fur a wee swatch o me hingin here? This wisnae whit Ah’d planned when Ah tuik ma career break fae fishin. Ah shuldnae huv listened tae aw that patter aboot fishin fur men – whit a load o guff! Insteid o hingin here by a threid, raxed oot lik an Arbroath smokie an flung ower a saltire. Thir’s nae rest fur the wicked! An Ah’m gey feart an dinnae ken whaur Ah’ll be the morra. Andrew, Portrait of a Saint by Peter Howson. Oil on canvas, 2007 Saint Andrew, his limbs twisted, is being bound onto an X-shaped cross with thick, snake-lie ropes. A crowd of figures throng around him, with lumpen, mis-shaped heads, limbs, and faces. The scene is lit strongly from above, casting deep shadows. In the top right hand corner, a cold blue moon shines through clouds of smoke connecting the earth and sky.

this vibes with my thoughts on Norse sagas. How do i valorize stuff which has been appropriated by racists? In the sagas, there's lots of viking-on-viking crime. If you had beef with a viking (because he's racist for example) you can always rip out his lungs & leave his corpse as a sacrifice to Odin

Ada Blackjack (née Delutuk; 1898–1983) was an Iñupiat woman who was convinced/misled to join Allan Crawford's small crew expedition North Siberia that went SOUTH. (Scurvy)
Only she and Victoria, the expedition's cat, survived.
Some newspapers hailed her as the real "female Robinson Crusoe".

Ada Blackjack with her son Bennett, 1923. Full body portrait showing a woman and her son posing standing in front of the camera. She is wearing a Iñupiat parka, gloves and boots: while the young boy has a more Western looking coat. She is embracing her son with one arm, and the boy is leaning his head on his mother. The team included five humans: Blackjack, who had been hired as a cook and seamstress; the American men Lorne Knight, Milton Galle, and Fred Maurer; and Allan Crawford; and a cat, Victoria. Photo picturing the team, they are sitting in the outside wearing parkas. Blackjack is sitting in the middle, and Victoria (a cute light-fur cat) is posing with her paws on the knees of one of the men. Ada Blackjack removing blubber from a sealskin. Vic, the cat, sitting on a walrus head. A printed inscription reads: THE PET OF THE EXPEDITION, NAMED VIC BECAUSE AS A KITTEN, SHE HAD BEEN PRESENTED TO THE EXPEDITION BY THE CREW OF THE STEAMSHIP Victoria WHICH TOOK THE PARTY FROM SEATTLE TO NOME. VIC IS SEEN SITTING ON A WALRUS HEAD.

Mike (c. 1908 – 1929) was a cat who guarded the gates of the British Museum whose fame was such that Time magazine devoted two articles to him on his death.
E. A. Wallis Budge's work describing the life of Mike has been viewed as the zenith of such biographical writing.

A black and white picture of a tabby cat making a I am upset gesture, standing outside in a sunny day. Below it reads : Mike expressing his opinion of a dog he had just driven out of the courtyard of the museum.
