You can see a wonderful example here being worn by my lovely future "Lola-in-law", Lina Cresencia, which also gives a great idea of where my beloved fiancée,Caira, gets her good looks from. 😊❣️✨️

The "María Clara gown," historically known as the "traje de mestiza," is one of my all-time favourite styles of formal dress. It is both a major part of formal Philippine dress for women in its own right and is also a major influence on later developments therein.

We, globally, are using ever-more electricity and renewables are supporting the rise, adding to rather than replacing use of fossil fuels (overall there's barely a decline, and there was an increase in the US and EU)

According to Gnostic teaching the world is a mixture of the seeds of light and of darkness. Though it is impossible to distinguish between them now in the fullness of time they will separate naturally, as ordained.

Pope Leo condemns climate change critics

- "Some have chosen to deride the increasingly evident signs of climate change, to ridicule those who speak of global warming, and even to blame the poor"

There's an entire Genre of News Articles in this country that follows the "Government won't meet it's climate targets, Report finds". They should just add it as a stand alone Category of news items in Canada.

This sounds like something that someone who isn't me should read. It sounds like it would be very fulfilling for me. I mean, them...

That is so cool!

I enjoyed this "Voynich manuscript" style from yesterday – it reminds me of an earlier "Gnostic" style, just with more of an Art Brut aesthetic due to the weirdness of the original.

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

My personal remembrance of Jane Goodall is that, as a child and young adult, I always felt a little ashamed about the strength of my love and empathy towards animals, but then she came along and made me feel seen and validated about that.

Official portrait.

The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not.

#antifa History lesson about the last time the fascists were organizing (in the 1970s in the UK) and some tactics that worked to defeat them. (warning to liberals - it wasn't polite 'debate').

It's almost like me screaming about Diagolon for years had a point!

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

If you are looking for a pet portrait, she does excellent work in this fun new style and in her established, high fidelity style at very reasonable prices.

Thank you again for this wonderful piece!!
