A main reason I loved being in education was that pretty much every year everybody started out as a tabula rosa; everyone had a chance to start over. 💚

CBee Yes! Love it 💚 1w

lil1inblue That's just lovely! 💓🥰💓 1w

Dive, Dive Into the Night Sea | Thea Lu

Gorgeous book that I‘d get for my kid had I any. There are fold out flaps that prevent my efforts to take great photos sadly. Educational too!Bioluminescious, fluorescence, unihemispheric—which new to me is what sleeping whales do.

All the stars I have to give. ✨⭐️🌟⭐️✨

AnnCrystal 🤩👍🏼 Beautiful 💝🌊💝. 2w

I took this picture in the Wigan North Western railway station when I was visiting last week! There was a whole alphabet of phrases, and I wish I had had the time to take pictures of all of them!

I decided to keep it light for #weirdwordwednesday. So, instead of trying to explain how socialism and communism are not the same thing (😅), I present the echidna. Because, in this horrible dumpster fire we are currently living in, who doesn‘t want to look at and learn about cute, unique animals? 😁

CBee Look up echidna babies/puggles. You can thank me later 😍 #weirdwords 1mo

Leonie Brandner: Three Becomes Two Becomes One Becomes None: Cosmopoiesis of Mandragoras | Leonie Brandner

pick

After becoming obsessed with this woodcut of a mandrake in the 1896 book Natural History in Shakespeare's Time, I couldn‘t believe my luck to find this brand new book about the mandragora plant! Here, Swiss artist Leonie Brandner explores the medicinal, magical, historical, folkloric, personal, political, genderqueer story of the only plant in the European context historically depicted as half human and half plant—with supernatural powers at that!

dabbe I want a golem as a protector! Mine would probably turn into a destructive one, though ... like Gollum in LOTR. 🩵💙🩵 1mo

CatLass007 I just finished the first three books of the Black Hat Bureau series, in which one of the main characters is a golem. Fun books! 1mo

JenniferEgnor There is a great movie about this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8329290/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk 1mo

CBee @dabbe hahaha mine probably would too. I‘d rather some Heinzelmännchen: https://germangirlinamerica.com/heinzelmannchen-the-elves-of-cologne/ 1mo

CBee @AlaMich I‘ve heard that‘s a good one! 1mo

CBee @JenniferEgnor one that wreaks havoc, I see 🫣🫣 1mo

dabbe @CBee @CBee Oh, yes please! How adorable! 🩵💙🩵 1mo

CatLass007 There was an episode of the X-Files that featured a golem. But when Dana Scully was narrating, she called it a gollum. 1mo

AnnCrystal 🆒☺️👍🏼💝. 1mo

StaceGhost I just saw a really cool seminar about golems in folklore! Love all the new books with golems coming out 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 I think the pronunciation is similar? I can see how one would pronounce it gollum. I‘m too much of an LOTR fan to make that mistake 😂🤓 1mo

CBee @StaceGhost that sounds awesome! 1mo
