Artomyces pyxidatus, the Crown-tipped Coral or Candelabra Coral fungus, was not seen in the UK over the entire 20th century, its last record in 1886 until a spate of recent findings around 2022, which is when I found this specimen (in East Kent). Where did it disappear all this time?

I used to think BlueSky was an impossible platform to sell books, and I know many authors give up. I only stayed because I like to hang out here.

But here's what I'm learning...

💙 BlueSky rewards you for being human. 💙

This is such a foreign concept on the other socials... I nearly missed it.

Happy day to all! One of my favorite visitors, the Pine Marten! I love their high energy level. They have a high metabolic rate, and semi- retractable claws. They are excellent swimmers, and are able to rotate their ankles 180 degrees!
Hello Pine Marten!🌲

Railroads will be allowed to reduce inspections and rely more on technology to spot track problems
The nation’s freight railroads are going to be able to try relying more on technology and inspect their tracks less often after the federal government approved their waiver request on Friday.

A few years after George Taliaferro Indiana broke the Big Ten basketball color line by bringing in the state’s 1947 Mr. Basketball, Bill Garrett of Shelbyville. He became an educator in Indy, coaching Attucks High to the 1959 title. He died of a heart attack at 45 in 1974. bsky.app/profile/hist...
In 2018 Ora Wildermuth’s name was taken off the Intramural Center at Indiana U after rediscovery of his segregationist beliefs as a trustee. In 2020 Bill Garrett’s name went on. He broke Big Ten hoops’ color line with IU in 1948. The marker went up in 2017 www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/2...

The last time Indiana won an outright Big Ten title, 1945, the leading rusher was George Taliaferro.

The next spring, he was the first Black player to be drafted by an NFL team.

Will someone release the video so we can shut down these disgusting excuses?

Hot tip for writers.

when the ms is perfected, record it (as for an audio book).

Am recording my new book + surprised at how easy it is to pick out the prose clunkers.*

Next time, I will record book before I publish print.

*Yes, I read it aloud. But *listening* is different.
