In Greek mythology, the goddess Hecate is said to have invented aconite, which Athena used to transform Arachne into a spider. Medea is also said to have attempted to poison Theseus with a cup of wine poisoned with wolf's bane. A worthy addition to our Garden.

Southern hemisphere PSA: The sun is spending more and more time here, and quite frankly, we've had enough of it already!
Let us join together and sing it away, back to the north ☀️🧡 /|\

Public Service Announcement:
The Sun is spending less and less time up here in the Northern Hemisphere. To all concerned:
Let's gather our voices on Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 1:24 am Pacific Time (USA), to sing back the Sun. If we all sing at the same moment, I'm sure we will succeed!

The moment you understand that gender segregation largely exists in sports to protect the egos of fragile men from the indignity of losing to a woman or to allow women to compete without enduring unwelcoming "No Girls Allowed" spaces in sport then the lie behind "protecting women" becomes apparent.

Don’t allow anyone to tell you that being a library ghost in the afterlife “doesn’t classify” as an appropriate long-term goal.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

This is oddly soothing. What a beautiful idea. Eco-friendly, unlike embalming. Where can I sign up to have my remains reclaimed by a tree? #greenburial
🌿🪦🌿"Folklore claimed that churchyard yews would stretch a root to the mouth of each corpse, making a hidden green-man of every buried body. Their essence would be drawn in with the sap. The tree would remember them."

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
