Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… and a good excuse to remind you that these books are still being banned across the country.

Censorship, especially when it seeks to erase truths and stories that matter, is a threat to our democracy and our humanity.

Not talking about climate change or our emissions won’t solve the problem. This will only prevent us from lowering energy prices, ensuring clean air and water, and curbing the dangerous effects of climate change (which is real, by the way).

Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list

It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

School biology, for Gurdon, though, was not about “why” but “what”: it was a memory exercise. Out of 250 pupils, Gurdon came 250th. He was kicked out of the course.

🐟 Notes of a botanist on the Amazon & Andes
London, Macmillan and co., limited, 1908.

[Source]

Black-and-white historical illustration showing the Victoria Regia, a giant water lily, as it grows in the Amazonian lakes and side channels. The image features large, round floating leaves with upturned edges on a calm river surface, surrounded by dense aquatic and shoreline vegetation. The detailed depiction highlights the natural habitat of the plant in the river environment of the Amazon, emphasizing the size and spread of the lily pads across the water. The scene captures the botanical and ecological context of this notable riverine species in the early 20th century.

That reminds me of the time I was walking along Lac Léman with an English friend past some kids playing, and he jokingly said, "The children here speak such good French!"
