Offered rest home care at 24: the lonely plight of young Kiwis with long Covid

A group of young Kiwis prove what international studies show: that long Covid has a particularly debilitating effect on young people. But how much medical support is there for them?

"The universe is a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, others are hell, a dire existential threat. Stealth is survival. Any civilization that reveals its location is prey" (Cixin Liu, The Dark Forest)

Vibrant colour projected onto a 2,600 year-old wall panel offers a glimpse of the past lived in glorious technicolour!

Really good article. “There are autisms, rather than just autism.”

While it can be challenging, let’s try and celebrate diversity; let’s face it: it’s the thing that not only makes human culture fertile but is the root of all life on earth.

This is such a nuanced and big-hearted piece on the evolution of autism as a diagnosis, by an anthropologist of mental health who is also the dad of a now-grown daughter on the spectrum. Great reading (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

It’s #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay
🦉❤️

To celebrate here’s an Ancient Greek clay aryballos (perfume flask) in the shape of a little owl!
Dated c. 640 BC.

The Louvre, Paris 📷 by me

#OwlishMonday
#Archaeology

My photo shows a small Proto-Corinthian clay aryballos (perfumed-oil container) in the shape of an owl with a pouring hole in the tail. Height 5 cm, Width 6.4 cm. The owl is perched with its tail to the left and head to the right. It leans slightly forwards with head turned so that its large eyes face the viewer. The owl’s chest is painted black. The eyes and plummage are intricately detailed in black on a yellowy-cream slip. Three rows of feathers in the wing plumage are painted alternately in red and black. Dated c. 640 BC
