A lot of y’all who are excited about Ring’s AI powered facial recognition because it’ll “help find lost dogs” would have let that giant wooden horse into Troy

What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison is that “the prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.”

This, according to the U.S. Holocaust Museum.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

We’re at the World War III.
We’re at the Civil War.

We’re at the combination World War III and Civil War.

Historically, monks walk when societies are fractured & warnings are ignored. This is not spectacle or protest theater. It is a moral response to rising dehumanization, political cruelty, & social strain. They are ordained Buddhist monks on an actual monastic pilgrimage. This is serious & telling.

A Walk for Peace USA highlight was the monks with their dog Alota’s crossing of the Edmund Pettus Bridge

“With mindful steps, loving-kindness, and quiet reverence, we honored history, healed through compassion, and dedicated merit for peace…”

The Walk for Peace by the monks is cathartic and needed in this year of unnecessary chaos. They used to travel to different countries but now making a trek from TX to DC akin to the 1961 Freedom Riders Route. Protect them at all costs. 🙏

Just in time for the holidays, an appearance from the #flyagaric mushroom, aka #amanitamuscaria! With psychedelic links to Siberian shamanism, as well as prominent ties to the Christmas traditions of northern Europe, this mushroom is a seasonal favorite!

#fungifriends #mariomushroom #wintermushroom
An amanita muscaria mushroom in its early stages pops up through a fallen oak leaf forest floor, with its rounded bright red/orange head covered in white spots, and a white stalk with skirt. A fence and tall pines can be seen in the background. A mature amanita muscaria mushroom grows in tall grass in front of a wood slatted cattle fence. The red/orange umbrella head is covered in white spots, with a corrugated white stalk terminating in oak leaf debris. Overhead view of amanita muscaria mushroom head, with reddish/orange color and white spots, with grass and oak lead debris beneath the mushroom. Slightly zoomed out view of last shot, with hand in picture for scale. Mushroom is the size of entire hand with fingers outstretched.

Please behold: the biggest bolete I’ve ever seen, just casually existing by the roadside. I screamt a little scream when I first saw this football sized beauty! What do we think… is it the much sought-after Penny Bun?

#fungifriends #fallfungi #pennybun #boletusedulis
The underside of a bolete appears in the foreground of the photo, with its teeth and tubes forming a rolling corrugated skin, catching the late afternoon sun. In the background a forest bed of oak leaves can be seen, with various oak and pine trees in the background, with a background of blue sky. Slightly zoomed out shot of the bolete underside. Top-down shot of the bolete - the slightly bumpy top of the bolete is a mix of tan and caramel colors, with a few spots of reddish brown and a few bites/chunks missing, where the yellow under-flesh can be seen. Below, you can see a bed of oak leaves. Top down shot comparing size of bolete on right with OP’s left hand - it is equal to the size of two hands with palms and fingers spread.

Enjoying the gorgeous mycorrhizal patterns on these fleeting Hare’s foot ink caps - if you blink, you’ll miss the delicate fruiting bodies, as their lifespan plays out in just under 24 hours!

#haresfootinkcap #fungifriends #coprinopsislagopus #fallfungi #inkycapmushrooms
White branching patterns reach toward a tan and brown center with small nodules, comprising the center of the inside of a mushroom cap - with the dark striated patterns of the cap visible behind the white branching patterns. This is a slightly more zoomed out version of the first picture, still in bird’s eye view, with the inky outside of the mushroom cap now wrapping around the inside, with mulch and wood chips visible below the mushroom. In this picture, four hare’s foot ink caps of various heights cluster together in a bird’s eye view, their caps curled slightly inward, with mulch and wood chips visible below the mushrooms. This is a side view of the hare’s foot ink caps cluster of fruiting bodies, with long, pale stems that have white fuzz at the base, with black, inky parallel lines running from the top of the stems to the top of the caps, which are curled slightly inward. In the background, one can see mulch/wood chips and a variety of weeds and grass, with a redwood fence behind both.
