Even an old stone drainage channel can look photogenic in the right setting. Discovered on a walk where the edge of the forest meets farmland.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought second-hand copies of Fevered Planet: How #Diseases Emerge When We Harm Nature by the late John Vidal and #Dust: The Modern World in a Trillion Particles by Jay Owens, and picked up a review copy of Uncommon Ground: Rethinking Our Relationship With the #Countryside by Patrick Galbraith.

#AtmosphericSciences #Pandemics #Epidemics #PublicHealth #Zoonoses #Books #Scicomm #Bookstodon @bookstodon

A photo of three books standing upright on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books.

On the left, Fevered Planet, showing a black-and-white photo of the rocky landscape of a hand-dug open-pit mine. In the foreground is a small, lone human figure resting one leg on a pile of shattered rocks. The title is written across the photo in neon-orange, with the last letters of each word rendered as if they are powdering into fine dust at their edges.

In the middle, Uncommon Ground, showing part of the oil painting "Wivenhoe Park, Essex" by John Constable, showing a bucolic landscape with a grazing cow behind a wooden fence. The fence runs across the picture in the foreground, while there is a large pond in the background. Behind the pond can be seen a small planted grove of large trees, and on the right, part of what looks like a mansion. The centre of the image has been rendered as if part of the drawing has been ripped out, showing the rough edge of torn paper and at the bottom, a curled-up piece of torn paper.

On the right, Dust, showing a NASA satellite photograph of planet Earth at night. Next to artificial lighting, several colourful swirls are visible in blue, red, and purple. This is a composite image that was taken on the 23rd of August 2018 that shows the various aerosols in our atmosphere. You can read more about this particular image here: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/92654/just-another-day-on-aerosol-earth

Industrial Duckpond

https://justin-farrimond.pixels.com/featured/industrial-duckpond-justin-farrimond.html

Not all duckponds belong in a Ladybird book. Not all duckponds have somewhere for you to sit as you pull apart your stale bread.
Tucked away on an industrial estate in northern England is this little beauty. A serious no nonsense duckpond.

Grainy black and white film photograph showing a fenced off duckpond. In the background are pylons and buildings, properties at the edge of a standard industrial estate.

#running #countryside #light #bridge #photography

Photograph of a small wooden plank bridge, with wooden railings and metal railings on either side, half in shadow with sunlight breaking through the foliage of the trees and illuminating the surface. Further on, on the other side of the bridge, the road climbs quickly, illuminated by the sun and surrounded by forest.

Photographie d'un petit pont en planches de bois, avec des rampes en bois et des garde-fous en métal de chaque côté, à moitié dans l'ombre avec du soleil qui perce à travers le feuillage des arbres et qui éclaire la surface. Plus loin, de l'autre côté du pont, la route remonte rapidement, illuminée de soleil et entourée de forêt.

A rustic barn nestled in a sea of color, where nature dances in vibrant harmony. Countryside Serenade captures the joyful spirit of the countryside with bold blooms in shades of pink, orange, and purple. Tall trees stand in quiet contrast, while the dreamy palette adds a whimsical charm to this lively rural escape. It's a celebration of color, calm, and the magic of wide open spaces. Art by Lisa S Baker.

House By The Meadow

Through the meadow, surrounded by trees, a white fronted house stands. A house that has seen it all.

Oh, sleepy summer day. I don't really feel like being busy and efficient, powering through like a machine to keep the profits up for those corporations who tap into my energy and time.

Nature's lazing about in the heat, resting, keeping cool in the heat.

I think I'll let her by my "Influencer" today.

I feel like I have to do an #introduction post after 3 years on this instance.
I'm sans serif girl - even if, at 40, I'm not a girl anymore (actually I'm not exactly a girl at all 'cause my gender is neutral, but you know force of habit; also in Italian we don't have a neutral equivalent and I'm not very fond of overextended [? I don't even know if this word exists] masculine) but I'm quite attached to this nickname - a neutral person, my pronouns are she/they, I'm #ace, #biromantic, #autistic and #deaf in my left ear.
I'm boring even if I laugh over the stupidest things and on a scale of 1 to 10 my mood is always an honest 5. Like Fiona Apple's meme in my pinned posts I don't like to go out (if it entails socializing and meeting people) except for walking my #dog (I have an old female dog that I love very much) and exploring the #countryside and river banks.
All my interests are things that I can do on my own like #reading, #writing, #MusicListening, watching #OldMovies, going on walks, taking nature #pictures. I told you: boring!
My best friends live far away from me and I'm obviously sad about it, but not so sad as a normal person would be because I don't despise my time alone, on the contrary I quite like it as it allows me to recharge from everyday stressing things like noises, traffic, work, and of course PEOPLE.
When I had my full earing I used to play the bass guitar and ukulele (and a bit of violin) but I quit because with only one ear left I find it quite difficult and a little bit painful. I also loved going to concerts but I can't anymore.
So most of my free time slots now are taken up by reading #manga #manhwa and #manhua, like I used to when I was in my twenties. One has to do something to entertain theirselves, no?
I'm also quite interested in #astrology and #tarots, that I use as a way to better understand myself.
I believe in #accessibility and that's why I'll always demand an alt text on your pictures and won't boost pictures without it.
I don't do immediate follow back because 1. I want to know who is following me 2. even when, after some time, I think someone is ok I almost always forget to reciprocate.
But you know: bad friend 🤝 bad mastodon user.
I've clearly forgotten something fundamental* but I'll blame the time and my age.
*Here we go! The first thing I’d forgotten is that, as one of my dearest friends always tells me, my love language is "a meme for every occasion". There’s a meme for everything, I’m sure I’ve got one in my endless archive and I'm going to post it. The second thing is that, unlike many people, I like voice messages a lot, even the longest ones. But I don't like podcasts for the record, nor audiobooks. The third thing is that, despite having read so much theory, I can’t bring myself to call me a #feminist. When I think of feminists, the image that springs to mind is about people who manage to put theory into practice, activists who take up spaces. I can’t do that – for various reasons I won’t delve into here – and so I don’t think it’s right for me to claim the label for myself. However, I have great respect for the comrades who carry out feminist practices into everyday lives.
And now for some faves:
- writers: #DaphneDuMaurier #DianaWynneJones #UrsulaKLeGuin #ShirleyJackson #JRRTolkien #NnediOkorafor
- musicians: I've always listened to a lot of kinds of music but if I must choose my all time fave is #JoannaNewsom
- movies: almost all where #CaryGrant starred, plus #ColdComfortFarm #Smultronstället and #NoisesOff
- tv series: #TwinPeaks #VeronicaMars #MontyPythonsFlyingCircus and #MurderSheWrote
- animals: #dogs #goats #donkeys
