A town in western Japan has turned the hatpin urchin, seen as a nuisance of the ocean as it devours seaweed, into a local delicacy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2023/06/09/food/urchins-marine-delicacy/?utm_content=buffer58a40&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #life #fooddrink #ehime #seaurchins #uni

Amazingly I used to actually get stuff done. LOL! This was back when I was seriously trying to make a living as a writer.
Kinda shaking my head.... gonna have to go take a walk and mull this all over....or maybe even cogitate it a bit...
Enjoy!

Rhythm is not just a beat. It’s a life. Rhythm shapes our lives, from our biology to our psychology. Rhythm is the pattern of change and repetition that governs our bodies, minds, and emotions. By understanding and synchronizing with rhythm, we can improve our health, happiness, and harmony.

I never know what to #write in this #introduction thing. Maybe because I don't really know who I am or maybe I'm a mixture of many things.
Anyway, my name is Gustavo and I live in #Jundiaí, the city of #grapes, in #Brazil. I am currently a #PhD student in #biochemistry and the #question I am trying to answer is:
Is it possible to use the knowledge of the #plant #circadianclock to increase the efficiency of #weedmanagement in #sorghum crop?
At the same time I trying to answer what is #time?
In between, I make #music and #dance to the #rhythms of #life. It's like @neilhimself says in his profile: "It is too late now!"
And that's it! I joined this instance because I like the #idea behind questions. @freemo seems to have created something special here. Thanks!
It will be a pleasure to meet you all!
Good morning beautiful people. That means, all of you.
Another Friday has rushed around, and another weekend looms. I wish you Kindness, happiness and love.
Because someone else is not nice and kind, doesn't mean you need to be like them. We have to be the majority, if we want to make the World a better and happier place. Take care and have an awesome day.
The Japanese have stripped "the" down to one or two of a greater number of tasks that the word normally does in English.

Have you ever asked yourself this #question?
Why am I here?
#writer Ann Christine Tabaka has!
Can there be knowledge without investigation?
Can a thing be known at first on sight,
on taste or touch or feel, can you
smell a thing or, oddly, know it
only as an action at a spooky distance
Is it likely a thing has ever
been discovered and declared,
post-haste, 'this, then, is that'
With imagination, a consideration
of a thing is built upon the sense
of research best conducted, an exploration
of the nature before the naming
Postscript:
Descartes
bless his heart

This absence of #Jupiter analogs could have major impacts on the development of Earth-like planets around red dwarfs and in the search for worlds capable of supporting alien #life.

I have had gay and straight cis friends who have told me how courageous I am when I admitted that I am transgender to them.
I seem to have two gears: Quiet indifference or apoplectic rage. Not exactly what I consider a healthy approach to life. Even back when I used to get into physical altercations with people, I was never one to talk shit in the face of someone. The rules of street fighting dictate that you say as little as possible, you hit first, hard, and fast, and you don’t quit until your opponent relents or stops moving.

People sometimes use the eye as a counter-example to evolution, arguing it's too complex to have spontaneously appeared. This, despite the fact that eyes have evolved indepedantly many times.
To put it in simpler terms: infrared radiation is electromagnetic waves that are longer than "visible" (for humans) light. However, our skin often detects infrared as heat.
Your skin is therefore a primitive eye.
More people should listen to Death Panel podcast and get others to listen to it. It explores the gaslighting and manufacturing of consent to forgo all safety, declaring an arbitrary end of the pandemic 'for the economy'.
This episode is a few months old now, but it's really great.

How do you do it? Are ALL of these artworks yours?
Here goes! I spend 8 hrs a day working on my art biz. A full-time job! So YES they are all mine. Note that I may list art from 15 years ago. I didn't create everything yesterday...lol
I get a solid 8 hrs sleep.

Dear Favorite Fediverse Friends ( #fff ) ,
Please forgive the reposting of stuff you may have seen on my other acct. I want to find more #fff because I am greedy for more awesome people & I want to try getting used to this new place.
Below is the other #introduction I previously posted:
My 1st love is books, a close 2nd is drawing/painting. I walk a lot & place a high value on daily exercise. I work in the field of ophthalmology, but have a background in teaching & aviation. I am married, w/ 2 teenaged boys. Originally I am from SoCal, but have lived in TN for many yrs & love it. I am definitely a country mouse (vs. city mouse).The older I get, the more I enjoy cold weather, which has led to an obsession w/ sweaters & sweatshirt. There is also a corkscrew in my purse for red wine emergencies. I am not normally & won't be this long-winded in my future posts as I've been today.#books #life #photography @bookstodon@a.gup.pe

Our values guide the way we take care of our areas of responsibility, which are connected to the projects and tasks that fill our days.
What's the pedigree of your to do list?
I have to admit, I don't understand the "Monday morning" mentality. Many people are grumpy on Mondays, or say that is the worst day of the week. I can only conclude, they mean, it is furthest from the weekend, otherwise, one day, is much like another.
So, in conclusion, happy Monday. May it be a good one for you. May people be kind and helpful to you, and may you be kind and helpful to them also. Enjoy your day and take care.
I've been writing and sharing thoughts for a while about how we can realise who we are, and who each other are, in order to transform the way we think about ourselves, our communities, our societies, our cultures. Our futures.

Color theory, in general, fascinates me. Have you ever considered the subliminal effects of color on mood? What you wear, the color of your bedroom or even the colors of the food you eat all contribute to your environment.
