From James Sowerby's Coloured Figures of English Fungi or Mushrooms, published in three volumes between 1797 and 1809.

Illustration is a detailed scientific illustration of a type of cup fungus, specifically identified by the text as Peziza coccinea (now known as Sarcoscypha coccinea or the scarlet elfcup) and Peziza epidendra. The illustration shows several specimens of the fungus at different stages of growth and from various angles. The fungi are depicted with vibrant red interiors and white exteriors, growing on a piece of dead wood.

No, I will not use male facilities and you cannot force me to. Get over it, because that’s the only option you have available that isn’t criminal.

There was a thick hazelnut and leek stew, warm arrowhead bread, a deep dish of cheese'n'mushroom'n'leek bake, and a hazelnut and elderberry pudding with meadowcream. After the meal, they sipped mint an' rosehip tea.

Still not fully caught up from Daylight Savings. Where's Māui when you need him to give the sun a hiding?

I feel like chrome skittles are my new thing. How do I top these though?

Beautiful long natural nails on a woman’s hand, in a chrome gradient from deep bronze to green. TERFs seethe and cope when viewing them, because bigotry rots the brain.

From Illustrations of the fungi of our fields and woods, Sarah Price.

A botanical illustration, Plate XIII, depicting several types of fungi. The plate is a lithograph, created by S. Price and W. H. Fitch, and printed by Vincent Brooks.
The illustration features four main fungi:
A large, red, kidney-shaped fungus, identified as a type of Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma tsugae).
A large, white, textured fungus with a bumpy surface, resembling a puffball mushroom.
A cluster of white, fan-shaped fungi growing on a tree trunk, with a branch of dark blue berries or fungi above them.
A smaller group of white, cup-shaped fungi with a funnel-like appearance.
The individual fungi are numbered 78, 79, 80, 81, and 82. Sarah Price was known for documenting mushrooms in Shropshire, England.

It's such a brief and poorly worded bill that I would honestly be deeply embarrassed to have my name on anything like that as part of official parliament business.

I see NZ First is still pushing this member’s bill.
Unless drawn from the ballot, this bill is little more than vice signalling to a very small voter contingent.

New Zealand First
@nzfirst
Our Members Bill will provide clarity and consistency in New Zealand law by defining “woman” as “an adult human biological female” and “man” as “an adult human biological male” in the Legislation Act 2019.

“This Bill would ensure our country moves away from the woke ideology that has crept in over the last few years, undermining the protection, progression, and safety of women” -

Making out that Caitlin Spice is just a name I 'go by' and not my legal name (on all my docs and records) is so incredibly dishonest and shitty.
Caitlin has been my legal name since 2008 and Spice my legal surname since 2015, after I got married.

Congrats to Dr Melissa Derby for abandoning the 'Gender Critical' cult and speaking out in support of transgender rights.
Proof that it's never to late to change!

Rights Aotearoa @rightsaotearoa.bsky.social · 4d

Rights Aotearoa welcomes Melissa Derby's support for extending hate speech protections to include religious groups and the LGBTQIA+ community, as expressed in her appearance on TVNZ's Q+A this morning.
She explicitly said that the LGB included the 'T'

The woman in that photo looks like she doesn’t get invited to family gatherings anymore because of her ‘opinions’.

Abundance, Bishop and Reminisce are easily my fave ILNPs!
Sirene is also another surprise standout amongst all the purple chromes, which I’m not such a fan of.
