Flu season has started early this year.
The dominant strain so far is (H1N1)pdm09.
Health experts recommend not to wait to get the vaccine.
FYI - This season, the new U.S.-approved mRNA flu vaccine is available to adults 50 and older.

The early start to the flu season is across most countries in the northern hemisphere.
Last year, a new variant of H3N2, called subclade K, emerged; it had many mutations that made people more vulnerable to it.
This year, the H1N1 mutation that is worrying researchers is G155E, detected in 13 of 17 H1N1 samples in Seattle, which is "less well recognized by pre-existing human antibodies."

@AkaSci are these new mutations included in the vaccines we will get around november?
@f4grx
The vaccines are available now.
"This year, both the H3N2 and the influenza B component of the vaccine are well-matched to what’s currently circulating. As for H1N1, if strains containing the G155E mutation dominate the season, the vaccine might not be particularly well-matched, Bloom says, although he points out that it’s still too early to tell.
Even if not perfectly aligned with the circulating virus, vaccines can still provide a good degree of protection."

Ripetete con me: credersi esperti non basta, la montagna non è un parco giochi.
Tipo mantra.
Passo dopo passo.
Un ritornello nella testa, che mantenga vigili e cauti.
E questo lo dico a chi la montagna la conosce e la vive anche fuori dai fine settimana, ché con gli sveltoni che fanno trekking in infradito o vanno a correre in mezzo agli orsi nemmeno ci spreco fiato.

@carlux invece chi è per continuare a supportare con armi è pronto a partire per rimpolpare le fila dell'esercito ucraino?
renditi conto che è come se sotto un toot per la Palestina uno rispondesse tipo: "e tu sei pronto ad andare a sparare ai coloni per difendere i villaggi della Cisgiordania"?
meglio ancora sarebbe fermare la russia e israele, invece di armare i civili e dire loro "buona fortuna" e permettere morte e devastazione ambientale per anni.
in ogni caso, a vedere l'inferno della guerra ci manderei chi è dalla parte degli aggressori, loro sì che si meriterebbero di toccare con mano l'inferno che sostengono
@bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux
concretamente, come la fermi la Russia?
Israele è concettualmente piú facile nel senso che per cominciare basterebbe continuare a mandar loro i miliardi che gli diamo, escludendolo da tutte le iniziative in cui continua ad essere coinvolto, ed arrestando ogni figura politica di rilievo che passi in zona, nonché tutti i militari che vengono qui a riposarsi tra un massacro e l'altro (LOL, non si farà mai, ma almeno concettualmente …)
La Russia esattamente come la fermi?
è sempre una questione di volontà politica e di interessi.
per me c'è interesse, in europa, a far ripartire l'industria bellica, o non c'è abbastanza interesse a fermare la guerra.
non sono stati fatti abbastanza sforzi diplomatici quando ancora avrebbe avuto senso farli. L'Europa avrebbe potuto fare di più, anche in termini di difesa di un paese sovrano, non sganciando bombe ma creando zone sicure senza toccare i confini russi.
i """"""nostri"""""" eserciti hanno una consistente storia di """"operazioni"""" aggressive all'estero, ma quando c'è da difendere, oltretutto un paese che confina con l'ue, tutti impotenti. è un po' un'assurdità, se fossi ucraina penserei che è tutta una barzelletta
@bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux
l'approccio diplomatico è stato tentato nel 2014. Abbiamo visto tutti come è finito.
non è un buon motivo per non tentarle tutte, andava rifatto nel 2022
@bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux
certo, una regione per volta ogni tot anni, tanto vale dirgli “senti, pigliatela e buona notte”
questo solo se diamo per scontato che gli sforzi diplomatici vengono fatti per finta e sono solo buffonate. che può anche essere, se non c'è reale interesse a difendere l'Ucraina.
dipende da quello che i governi europei ritengono accettabile o inaccettabile. per me è inaccettabile continuare a far morire gli ucraini e a rendere vaste porzioni di territorio potenzialmente inabitabili per anni.
per loro forse è accettabile, o è meglio di qualcos'altro, o addirittura ci trovano profitto in qualche modo.
se un paese che ha circa 40 mln di abitanti riesce a fronteggiare un paese che ne ha circa 150 mln, più diversi paesi satelliti da cui attingere risorse umane e non, forse l'europa avrebbe potuto avere successo nell'arginare i danni se si fosse imposta con decisione.
@bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux
Lo sforzo diplomatico per funzionare ha bisogno della buona volontà di tutti i partecipanti. Se dall'altra parte hai un interlocutore che non ha alcun reale interesse ad altro che raggiungere il proprio obiettivo, è tutta una farsa.
Questo prima ancora di andare a discutere sull'opportunità di cercare compromessi quando la posizione dall'altra parte è “tu non hai diritto di esistere”: è l'equivalente geopolitico delle “posizioni moderate” su razzismo, omofobia, transfobia & co.

vabbè quindi se sostengo lo sforzo diplomatico sono come quelli che cercano il compromesso fra i nazisti e gli antinazisti? non c'era bisogno di far scadere la conversazione così.
secondo me non c'è un equivalente "geopolitico" di posizioni personali perché io non credo che gli stati siano come creature organiche eccetera eccetera come sostiene la visione geopolitica, ho una prospettiva di classe.
il senso delle mie parole è questo: l'europa avrebbe potuto fare di più fin dall'inizio e non l'ha fatto, evidentemente non aveva il forte interesse di farlo. se continua così dopo l'ucraina ci sarà qualcun altro.
@bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux
Tu sei convinto che Putin sia genuinamente interessato a fare passi indietro rispetto alle proprie mire imperialiste? La persona che nel 2014 ha invaso l'Ucraina, violando il Memorandum di Budabest del 1994 con cui l'Ucraina cedeva le armi nucleare alla Russia in cambio della propria integrità territoriale, e che *il giorno dopo la firma degli accordi di Minsk* ha cominciato una serie di violazioni costanti che sono culminate nell'invasione del 2022, ti sembra una persona con cui si possa avere un dialogo diplomatico?
Gli Stati sono controllati da persone, che sono creature organiche, e la direzione in cui si muovono spesso riflette in maniera lampante le attitudini e le inclinazioni di chi li governa, soprattutto in paesi non democratici dove il potere è detenuto da *decenni* dalla stessa persona.
Sono d'accordo che l'Europa avrebbe potuto fare di piú, come ad esempio smettere di cincischiarsi sul supporto da dare all'Ucraina ed essere molto piú drastica del tagliare completamente fuori la Russia da qualsiasi transazione economica.
Ti chiedevi come ha fatto una nazione di 40 milioni di persone a resistere da una di 150 che per giunta si compra i soldati dai paesi piú poveri del mondo per non mandare al macello la propria forza lavoro? Grazie all'aiuto economico e militare dell'Europa e degli USA, aiuto sempre centellinato, concesso a spizzichi e bocconi, con ritrosia, con un sacco di resistenze interne da una destra che Putin ha in saccoccia, una sinistra che continua a non riuscire a vedere l'imperialismo e l'espansionismo russo con lo stesso occhio critico con cui disanima quello americano e quello israeliano, ed un centro che continua a fare valutazioni di tornaconto economico e non ha il coraggio di mandare la Russia a cagare una volta per tutte spingendo sull'indipendenza energetica.
@oblomov @bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux concretamente come la fermi la Russia è una domanda alla quale non so rispondere. Ho un'altra domanda, alla quale non riesco a rispondere, che pare non interessare, invece secondo me interessa pure a parecchi ucraini. Concretamente come li fermi quelli che ti costringono ad arruolarti?
@oblomov @bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux oltretutto là scarseggiano pure gli uomini ma di quelli nisba. e poi non abbiamo più tanto da dargli, a quanto pare
"il forte calo dei voli osservato negli ultimi anni è coerente con quanto spiegato dallo stesso ministro Crosetto: dopo oltre quattro anni di guerra, l’Italia ha progressivamente ceduto all’Ucraina una parte consistente dell’equipaggiamento e delle munizioni disponibili nei propri arsenali, rendendo più difficile reperire nuovo materiale da inviare. Nel frattempo, sono cambiate anche le esigenze ucraine: più che grandi quantità di equipaggiamenti relativamente semplici, oggi servono capacità specifiche e difficili da reperire, come missili a lungo raggio e i sistemi di difesa aerea. Il calo delle consegne può quindi riflettere anche il passaggio da una fase in cui contava soprattutto la quantità a una in cui conta sempre di più che cosa viene fornito."
@d10c4n3 @bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux
Vedendo quanto è impopolare già l'invio di armi, puoi immaginarti come verrebbe presa una mobilitazione. Siamo tutti antiimperialisti finché non c'è da sporcarci le mani.
(Sul «non ce la fanno» avrei da obiettare, visto che di fermare l'hanno fermato.)
OK...ehm...
vi rendete tutti conto che è da febbraio 2022 che va avanti questo loop, sì?
ma le armi all'Ucraina...
guerrafondaio! Mettiti l'elmetto e vai all'attacco!
E allora cosa dobbiamo fare? La terza guerra mondiale?
Armi terribili.
I missili!
I carri armati!
Tanto la Russia è troppo forte, l'Ucraina è condannata, si arrendano e salviamo il nostro culo!
Io sono contro tutte le guerre! (grazie al cazzo, pure io, solo certi psicopatici al potere sono a favore della guerra).
No alle armi sì alla sanità! (non sono mutualmente esclusivi, btw).
Sono sempre le stesse cose con il contrappunto di sempre gli stessi argomenti, al di là del fatto che in quasi 5 anni se ancora un ragionamento non è entrato in testa, probabilmente non basterà un altro anno o dieci, sta veramente diventando una litania insopportabile.
@ju
@oblomov @d10c4n3 @bbacc @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux
ho un bel po' di cose da dire
1/
a) lo sforzo diplomatico c'è stato e c'è tutt'ora. nel 2014-15 fallì perché la Russia non si ritirò dal Donbas come aveva sottoscritto. Nel 2022 perché a un passo dall'accordo i russi pretese clausole ulteriori talmente assurde e vessatorie che furono giustamente mandati a fanculo. dal 2025 si susseguono incontri in vari formati ma non portano a nulla perché 1) Witkoff e Kushner sono del tutto inadeguati 2) Mosca continua a pretendere la porzione di Donbas che non ha conquistato e questo è impossibile da concedere perché bisognerebbe modificare la costituzione e la stragrande maggioranza dei parlamentari è contraria. Also,
2/
Zelensky ha proposto nell'ultimo anno CINQUE diverse formule di cessate il fuoco parziale o totale, tutte respinte dalla Russia. Detto ciò, qualche risultato la diplomazia lo ha ottenuto: molti minori deportati in Russia sono stari restituiti alle famiglie, grazie soprattutto alla mediazione del Vaticano; sono state scambiate centinaia di prigionieri, in gran parte militari ma anche alcune decine di civili catturati dai russi.
b) la Russia la può fermare facilmente solo la Cina ma al momento non sembra averne nessuna intenzione e nessuno è in condizione di fare pressione su Pechino perché ne siamo troppo dipendenti. L'alternativa, molto più difficile, è creare danni economici tanto profondi da rendere insostenibile proseguire l'aggressione e in questo senso vanno
3/
sia le sanzioni sia gli attacchi ucraini in profondità, ma possono volerci ancora anni. Una cosa che potrebbero fare gli Stati Uniti e non fanno è fornire un numero limitato di missili Tomahowk per radere al suolo l'UNICA fabbrica dei droni Geran a Kaluga, al di là degli urali, cosa che i droni a lungo raggio non sono sufficienti a fare. forse non finirebbe la guerra ma sì salverebbero centinaia di vite di civili
c) Europa: premesso che Macron ci ha provato a lungo prima e dopo il 24/2/22 a ragionare con Putin, il fatto che l'Ue non abbia un ruolo di mediazione nasce anche dal fatto che la Russia ci percepisce come *il nemico*. la democrazia liberale che tanto schifiamo e i diritti civili che abbiamo faticosamente e precariamente conquistato, per il regime russo,
4/
basato sull'autoritarismo e sulla tradizione religiosa ortodossa, sono una minaccia. dai due lati del confine russo-ucraino ci sono sempre stati scambi, parentele ecc e il diffondersi del "cattivo esempio" nelle regioni russe di Rostov, Veronezh, Belgorod, Kursk è un rischio che Putin non accetta di correre.
Un intervento militare diretto di paesi europei Nato contro la Russia finora a torto o a ragione è sempre stato considerato non percorribile perché a rischio di escalation nucleare
d) In Ucraina si può protestare. Ci sono state manifestazione contro Zelensky tra un bombardamento e l'altro sia nel 2025 (contro l'indebolimento delle autorità anti corruzione, Z. fece marcia indietro e pochi mesi dopo finì nei guai appunto per corruzione il suo n.2 Yermak) sia
5/
nel 2026, quando Z. rimosse il ministro della Difesa Fedorov, le cui innovazioni tecnologiche portarono a ridurre sensibilmente le morti tra i combattenti. Fedorov non fu reinsediato, ma di sostituito il capo dell'esercito con quello invocato dalla piazza. Le profonde riforme interne alle forze armate hanno permesso un miglioramento della situazione al fronte e, di nuovo, meno morti. Nessuna di quelle piazze ha chiesto né le dimissioni di Z né di cedere territorio o arrendersi alla Russia né di fermare la coscrizione militare. Né ci sono state altre manifestazuoni in quel senso. Questo dovrebbe darci da pensare su quali siano i sentimenti tra la popolazione, nonostante tutto.
6/6
e) il dibattito italiano sulle armi non ha molto senso. l'Ucraina ormai si produce da sé gran parte delle armi che le servono. serve ancora (per qualche mese) la contraerea per fermare i missili balistici, ma noi abbiamo solo i Samp/T coprodotti nella Francia, abbiamo inviato due lanciatori e un po' di munizioni, ma si sono rivelati molto meno efficace. Il vero aiuto all'Ucraina ora è il prestito da 90mld che sta erogando l'Ue. per questo a me rispetto a un/una eventuale presidente del consiglio di centrosinistra interessa sapere che farà in Consiglio europeo se/quando ci sarà bisogno di un altro prestito, o di rinnovare/estendere sanzioni, molto più che armi/non armi.
@oblomov @bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux eh ti stavo rompendo le palle apposta (tanto per chiacchierare) per illuminare l'ipocrisia di arrivare fin lì. li'ipocrisia degli stati, non la tua. (che giå avevano visto quando c'era da congelare gli asset.) la seconda cosa, bè, la Russia non è stata fermata nel senso che sono 4 anni che continua a distruggere cose e ad ammazzare gente, per me non si può mettere sta roba nella colonna delle vittorie
@oblomov @bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux PS fammi chiamare fuori, il mio antimperialismo praticamente teorico, è quando c'è a scansare la leva che diventa molto concreto. ma non per le mani sporche. più tipo pigrizia e fastidio.
@oblomov @bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux (pigrizia in senso lato)
@d10c4n3 @bbacc @zeppe @RinaldoGiorgetti @carlux
(te l'appoggio tutta, sulla pigrizia; andiamo a pigriziare insieme)
ah, ma sull'ipocrisia sono d'accordissimo, l'ho anche detto, e concordo con
@bbacc (anche se mi sa che c'è stato qualche fraintendimento iniziale) che l'Europa non s'è fatta valere come poteva: basta pensare a quanto sono rimasti a cincischiare per interessi personali finché non hanno fatto saltare NordStream 2.
E chiaramente non è una vittoria, ma non è nemmeno una sconfitta (che è quella che ci sarebbe stata senza). E le vittime non mancano, soprattutto tra i civili visto che la Russia continua a bombardare case, supermercati, treni, visto che sulle postazioni militari non riesce ad avanzare piú da anni, ma fai un confronto tra lí e diciamo altri posti dove i civili vengono bombardati altrettanto indiscriminatamente per vedere il beneficio che ha tratto l'Ucraina dal supporto.
(Poi comunque nell'ipocrisia mi ci metto anche io, perché comunque sono obiettore di coscienza, e non so cosa farei se l'Italia venisse coinvolta direttamente in un conflitto armato, eh.)
io non sono affatto convinta che putin sia genuinamente interessato a fare passi indietro, né l'ho mai detto. dove l'hai letto? ho detto che l'europa avrebbe potuto fare più pressioni per costringerlo a farlo. non è che uno sfrozo diplomatico presupponga té, biscottini e imbonimento. andava messo nella posizione di cedere. non credo che la russia si sarebbe sobbarcata la minaccia di combattere contro tutta l'europa.
1/2
gli stati sono controllati da persone ma non sono controllati da una persona sola. ci sono vari interessi e centri di potere che si intersecano anche se la faccia ce la mette una persona sola. per me la prospettiva di classe non è conciliabile con quella geopolitica.
io non mi sono mai chiesta come hanno fatto gli ucraini a tenere a bada la russia (anche questo, dove lo hai letto?), lo so benissimo: perché sono migliori in battaglia e sanno usare meglio le risorse che hanno.
sulla destra in mano alla russia e la sinistra rincoglionita non ci sono dubbi, anche se la sinistra apertamente putiniana non è che conti molto a livello decisionale
se siamo d'accordo sull'incapacità dell'europa di agire direi che siamo d'accordo, inutile mettermi in bocca cose per andare avanti

We received $90 each from the Federal Government today. I recognize that we are being given our own tax dollars to try and influence our vote.
It's not working.
We find it offensive so we turned around and gave the money to someone else who didn't get a bribe and could use the assistance.
I can hardly wait until January when hopefully things change for the better.
@NorcalGma2 I'm curious if/how we'll get our $90 bribe. All our Medicare payments are withheld from our Social Security checks. It won't help much on the $800 monthly increase we saw in Medicare payments this year, but perhaps I can use it to gas up our Toyota Highlander.
@alameth
Ours showed up as a direct deposit.
I’ll be returning my mail-in ballot tomorrow. I can assure everyone that the $90 bribe did not sway my vote at all.
@chessert
I've decided to drop our ballots off at the elections office this time.
@NorcalGma2 Thank you. I won't be getting the $90 myself, but I applaud everyone who donates their "dividend" to something or someone who needs it.
Sadly, there are millions of older Americans who are below the poverty level and the $90 may help them survive in these hard times.
It's deeply insulting that trump thinks that senior votes can be bought for a pittance, or for any price. He thinks that we are as greedy and totally without morals as he is.
@Barbramon1
I sent ours to my sister who has a Medicare advantage plan so she didn't get the bribe.
@NorcalGma2 I also have an advantage plan, so no $90 for me. I am not wealthy, but I am grateful and lucky to have a relatively comfortable existence.
I volunteer at a food pantry, and am saddened to see so many elders who need our services. Am glad to be there for them, but it breaks my heart.

Often in the evening or at weekends I would bring my young daughter, Lauren, into work with me. One day, she was with me when I was doing a simulation of a mission to the moon. She liked to imitate me – playing astronaut. She started hitting keys and all of a sudden, the simulation started. Then she pressed other keys and the simulation crashed. She had selected a program which was supposed to be run prior to launch – when she was already “on the way” to the moon. The computer had so little space, it had wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon. I thought: my God – this could inadvertently happen in a real mission. I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight. But the higher-ups at MIT and Nasa said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake. Midcourse on the very next mission – Apollo 8 – one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done. The Lauren bug! It created much havoc and required the mission to be reconfigured. After that, they let me put the program change in, all right.

Marine biologists spotted the elusive glass octopus during an expedition by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, off the remote Phoenix Islands, 5,100 km northeast of Sydney in 2021.
The species gets its name from its nearly-transparent body—you can see straight through to the optic nerve, cylindrical eyes and digestive tract.

The entire 98km-long Curonian Spit is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The southern end is land-linked and protected as Национальный парк «Куршская коса»; it’s off-limits within the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad (the border is closed). The northern Lithuanian end is protected as Kuršių nerijos nacionalinis parkas | Curonian Spit National Park, which must be accessed by boat.
Costs: We took our van on a ferry 600m from Klaipėda to Smiltynė for 46.40 €. There’s an additional 20 € off-season camper toll per entry into the Neringa resort (incld. the settlements of Juodkrantė, Pervalka, Preila and Nida). We rented a small apartment in Nida for a couple of nights given the paucity of overnight 🅿️ options. Daytime 🅿️ may also cost but this varies by season.
The Spit is a depositional sandbar some 17,000 years in the making, with open Baltic Sea beaches backed by dunes to one side (📷1&2) and the generally calmer Curonian Lagoon to the other (📷3&4).

This scene on the Curonian Lagoon features a calm, expansive body of water under a sky filled with textured, scattered clouds. The water gently reflects the soft light from the horizon, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

Slowly getting there with the #BedfordParkDaisy motifs, for the #SpiritofFlora throw, two have got the flower stems and two have their leaves and flower buds.

@irene @crochet @PhoenixSerenity
It's a #JaneCrowfoot pattern #SpiritofFlora
This particular motif is called Gillow.
@DoubleTreble
I love your entire thread here about trying out Jane Crowfoot crochet patterns. Gorgeous florals in the mix. More people should see your thread!
@PhoenixSerenity @irene
Thank you, I'm still persevering with the pattern the last motif is almost complete then it's onto piecing it all together😁
Hey, UK people: anyone have contact with either the UK bank Onefamily, or a UK financial ombudsman? We opened a savings account with them 18 years ago for our daughter's education and now they will not release the funds to her US bank account because they require specific paperwork that NO US bank is capable of producing. It's been months and we're running out of options.
Note that I'm NOT looking for advice on how to get US banks to satisfy the paperwork requirements. Please only chime in if you have relevant contact/experience with either Onefamily or the relevant UK regulators, or if you are a solicitor with relevant experience and ideas for compelling them to take action. Thank you!

I've been thinking about this, and I'd like to see people's little shelves/collections of trinkets and nature stuff. Here's mine.
https://turtleisland.social/@dillyd/117385270266352638
Alt...
Two rounded triangular knick knacks dishes molded with a Haida design. The smaller one on the left holds various pebbles and a piece of dried moss. The larger one on the right holds pine (and other coniferous) cones and seed pods and nuts and acorns, and a little tuft of wool.
@dillyd Just knowing that other folks have a thing like this makes me happy. I have some satisfying pebbles in a tiny dish in my bedroom, and an elk's tooth in a box somewhere, but these treasures are out on shelves in my dining room!
Alt...
Photo of one shelf of a rack with rattan shelves in an iron frame. In the front is an empty box turtle shell, next to a pinecone with a long stem. Behind is a plate with an enamel scene of a bunny running across an abstracted landscape and tree.
Alt...
Another shelf from the same rack. Cut off on the left is a lego model of Big Ben and a teapot with lots of books. On the right is a vase made of solder holding two smooth rocks; in front of that is a clean possum skull and an odd kind of pine(?)cone.
@dillyd I'll try to post photos ! Mine are a bit all over the place, including in clothing drawers (fragrant stuff like bits of solidified resin, bits of wood, cypress and juniper cones...)
I really like collecting small bits from walks or holidays, they're the best souvenirs !
@dillyd mine:
Alt...
photo of a small white dish containing 4 rounded pebbles: black, dark grey, light grey and white. the bottom of the dishes has a line drawing of a croissant-shaped sleeping cat. the dish is set in front of a b&w postcard of a cat wearing glasses with tucked paws.
Pretty! Here's mine
Alt...
A four-shelf wrought iron corner shelf, with each shelf a different color. The shelf is in a corner with a painted wall on the left and a wooden cabinet end on the right. The painted wall looks purple in this light, but is actually more of a very dark red. The top shelf has an interesting rock that I initially thought was a tooth (it's not), the second has multiple pieces of a geode, the third a javelina skull, and the bottom two crystalline rocks and a turkey feather.
@dillyd i keep a small collection on my desk for fidgetting with. there are other collections elsewhere
Alt...
on a desk beside a speaker are a small box, a basket with a dice and a pebble, a nice shell, a smooth rock, an angular rock-like game piece that is not a rock, and a gorgeous piece of wood that looks a bit like a fancy slug
@dillyd I have these and a box with other things nature. The taxidermied wasp and the pinned moth are my own first two tries in preserving insects I found dead around the apartment building. The assorted stuff used to lay around and then I thought it would look cute in jars. It doesn't but now I'm used to it.
Alt...
A bookshelf with little jars of small cones, conkers, fossils, acorns, a wasp on some tiny acorns and a pinned moth in a white frame
@dillyd I have this little weird oyster-shaped cup, that contains some pearls that we collected from all the mussels we foraged at the local beach.
Alt...
A couple of small and even smaller pearls in a glazed cup
@dillyd What's interesting in your post and the replies is that all of us kind of find the same stuff interesting to put on a shelf. That's cool, that all sorts of different people look at a nice cone and go "oh that is a GOOD cone, I'm gonna put this on my shelf"
@weirdmustard @dillyd I also know lots of kids that do that. When they don't have lots of experience, *every* stone is fascinating, as parents will be able to confirm. Definitely something that's deep within us.
(Also, dangerous for all family washing machines!)
@dillyd here's mine, mostly pebbles. There are more small pots of carnelian in the house as can't help pick up the littles gems from the beach.
Alt...
a round dish full of small pebbles, shells and stones.
Alt...
A bookshelf with small stacks of pebbles in front of the books. The pebbles are grouped into similar sets
@dillyd Here's mine:
The rust colored potsherd in the lower right corner was gifted to me by a friend who'd been to the Middle East; he said it was from Caesarea & is 2,000 years old.
Alt...
Collection of knick-knacks, including driftwood, a candle, dolphin and jack-o-lantern figurines, and a framed sign saying "I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes. ~~Poet Carl Sandburg"
@dillyd just like rocks and stuff from the beach
Alt...
Sea shore rocks on the base of a monitor on top a dusty desk, and a sign in the background on the wall that says I OPPOSE GENOCIDE -- I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION
@dillyd my four year old had something like two hundred chestnut in a plastic box 🤣. Sorry I can't take a picture, we gave it back to nature a few days ago.
@dillyd My treasures, in a type case :)
Shells, rocks, precious gifts, pretty stamps, beercaps I find nice, a miniature book, foreign coins, found bits and bob... Also a dead wasp I picked up this summer.
Alt...
Wooden type case on the wall, used as trinket shelves
Around 10 rows and 10 columns, each holding 1 to 4 things.

@dillyd My ever-changing wall decoration as it stands now (or did a couple of weeks ago, on the equinox).
(The ivy garland thing going around it is plastic, but everything else you see is natural stuff I’ve picked up near my home, or sometimes quite far away.)
Alt...
A pentagram made of willow and jute, decorated with feathers, spruce cones, leaves, and berries, with a hagstone hanging in the middle.
@dillyd OMG I love this so much and seeing the others.
I cannot seem to upload my photo, but my my wunderkammer is so important to me that I spent a long time carefully packing it up so that all the rocks and seed pods and feathers and shells would survive a cross-country move unharmed.
@dillyd here is mine.
Alt...
Two pottery dishes filled with polished and unpolished stones and one large stone shaped piece of polished wood.
@dillyd here's one of my bowls of rocks, mostly from the Leslie Street Spit (an artificial peninsula built on leftover construction rubble)
Alt...
A large round glass bowl full of rocks, mostly red and yellow clay bricks that have been worn by the waves into soft beach rock shapes. There are a number of smaller pebbles of green and white terrazzo, a small piece of tile with an interesting honeycomb pattern, and a fragment of brick that just says "MADE". There are also a few small fossils, including what might be a trilobite, and maybe coral?
Alt...
The photograph shows a section of a wooden shelf in a natural brown color, the front of which is covered with stones of various colors, mostly rounded. Some of the smaller ones are in an oval moss-lined bowl. A row of books is visible behind the stones.
@dillyd sooo... How do all of you keep all these collections so dust-free, is what I ask myself? Or did you all wipe them off for the photos? Really curious, because I have a few corners with rocks, and they catch dirt like magnets.
@lizzard @dillyd It's late and dark here, so prob no photos today, but if I found a good vignette I'd probably dust first if not actually wash...lol (wood stove here, plant dust, some water leaks, etc...) just like pulling weeds before garden photos, any photo op is a good chance for a (very localised) tidying..lol
@dillyd Needs dusting, but left to right, lava from Utah, lava from Oahu, green geode from Salt Lake desert, two stones from Oregon dunes shore
@dillyd Love the dishes and the collection.
Here are some of mine, in a box.
Shell, rough rounded stone, angular calcite crystal, cubic fool's gold, river-worn bark flake, acorn, black walnut shell, another calcite.

@dillyd Hi there. Perhaps you'd like to show off your trinkets at a new project I'm trying out. Nothing commercial at all, just an idea I'm hoping catches on. If you have a moment to try it out, it's at theburrow.live - I'd love to hear your thoughts.
@dillyd Here's mine!
Alt...
Lots of random things on an oak shelf against a blue wall. In no particular order: There are 4 rocks large enough to stand alone and a hand sized piece of purple agate. There are 3 clay bowls made by my daughter in middle school (she'll be 40 on the 21st). Two of these bowls hold small rocks and pottery shards of various colors. The third has nail clippers, a couple of random dice, a tiny figurine and the weird churchkey we kept in case one of the kids locked themselves in the bathroom. There is also a pottery jewelry box shaped like a turtle and a pottery palm tree for the turtle to sit under (these were made by our son - also in middle school). In the back corner is a red flowerpot purchased in the Dominican Republic during a trip in 2001. It is topped by a witches ball and has a brass mouse sitting in a side pocket. Rounding out the collection is a large scallop shell filled with tiny shells and sea glass collected on a beach in Florida. Whew!
@dillyd Some bought, some collected, but all of it natural. It's comforting having these materials at home as decor. I have these in various places, just collected them for the picture.
Alt...
A wreath made of carved wooden flowers and feathers and wood beads surrounds a decorated coconut bowl of potpourri as well as a small wooden framed press flower.

@dillyd I had to take the « interesting nature stuff » from the « interesting stuff » box so there’s no pretty organization but here they are. Mainly rocks and fossiles and my herbarium :/
Alt...
Rocks and fossile around a small notebook with a dires plant in it.
Alt...
Same picture with annotations showing ammonites, Fernand fossiles or giving small indication about where or how the rock was found.
@dillyd
some of the collections (yours are much less dusty than ours)
The capys might not be quite a collection of trinkets, but everyone agrees that a capybara lights up the room!
(I saw one of the little bouncing capys on a cabbie's dash in Oaxaca and got some when we returned home.)
Alt...
a kitchen sink with seashells and plastic cows

a bowl with some (dusty) obsidian, a couple rocks one with a fossil in it, a plastic eyeball, a fuzzy bear, and a green lizard!
Alt...

@dillyd one of my rock shelves - a window sill - with a token piece of wood because I liked the hole. Smaller, lighter nature finds have to be more securely treasured, lest they become a cat/dog play thing.
I love your Haida plates/trays. Do you know if they available to buy anywhere online? I've got some small Haida plates in natural browns, but those black ones are beautiful.
Alt...
A narrow but deep window sill in a warm stone wall. An assortment of stones sits on the bare stone slab sill - so stones on stone. The feature stones are in a range of colours from greys to reddish & white, in contrast with the warm yellow of the building. A fairly large piece of wood, salvaged from a log pile, sits against one wall: it has a perfectly round hole in the middle of it. Behind the stones etc, the window is boring uPVC and beyond that is an old flagged & cobbled yard (more stone!) at dusk. The yard is rather weedy so don't pay any attention to that.
Gifts and beach finds.
Alt...
Top of the dresser: Two shells, two smooth stones, one piece of worn glass, one fossil fragment, one crystal, all about the same size (maybe an inch, inch and a half?) clustered on a gold brocade cloth patterned with stylized flowers. Also visible are a few metal containers that mostly used to contain sweet candies. Also a dime (how did that get there?)
Alt...
Study shelf: a seashell (maybe 6-8 inches long) and a similarly sized vertebra bone. Also visible to one side is a stack of papers and notebooks.
@dillyd That's a sweet collection! I've had a handful of acorns & hats (know what I mean, the tops without the nut, lol) sitting on the windowsill behind my kitchen sink. When I do dishes I see them & it makes me so happy. The tree they came from had to be cut down last year so the acorns mean a lot.
@dillyd I'll have to think about sharable instances-- I have so much of this stuff all over, mostly messy, stuffed between plants etc...lol
@dillyd and this is a very dusty place where we have some natural things gathered from parks and beaches over the years that were special to us!
Alt...
A ceramic bowl with shells and a curl of ash bark next to some rocks, many if them red rocks.
@dillyd here's a part of my mantle, it's not nature but things that have been important to my family and I along the way!
Alt...
A fireplace mantle with a lot of little trinkets and things we've found along the way in our lives: gay Lego, toys, a playbill, art, a sandman, pumpkins.
@dillyd A bit much, I know.
Alt...
On a side drawer, a collection of minerals, seashells, the odd sculpture of cats and owls and horses, oh my, plus image and statue of St Michael, 2 witches, tiny jizo, tiny dish, wave form generator, and 6 boxes with assorted strange things contained within them. And a lamp. Wicker basket and pottry bowl to hold seashells.
@dillyd Souvenirs de la Gaspésie. Je voudrais tant revoir la mer...
Alt...
Des galets de la Gaspésie et une cocotte de pin, dans une assiette, sur mon bureau laqué rouge cerise.
@dillyd Some local quartz flavors I picked up along the way.
Alt...
Two pieces of quartz sitting on a woven placemat in the afternoon sun — a larger, somewhat shiny, mostly white piece with a jagged, angular shape and lots of fracture cracks, and a smaller, lumpy piece that contains crystals of white quartz, dark feldspar, and shiny mica all mixed together kinda like a messy hunk of granite.
@dillyd the pot on the right is nearly full
Alt...
Shelf at the bottom of a mirror with an oil and reed diffuser, a small stoneware bottle with a cork stopper labelled poison and a small stoneware dish labelled DUST
@dillyd Most of mine are scattered about, but the ocean things are all together.
Alt...
A collection of small sea shells in a glass jar, plus a larger shell, coral, volcanic rock, and a fossil on a dusty shelf. There's a milk glass sugar bowl, too.
@dillyd My hole flat is full of all kind of collected natural stuff, it’s overgrowing!! These are my wasp nests:
@dillyd I've got stuff spread out all over, but this is my current favorite.

A white laminate cubby filled with feathers, shells, bits of broken pottery, old thistle seed heads, a couple of interesting rocks and a small worn bit of driftwood. Towards the back on the right is a wooden bowl with upright sides (turned by my father). It seems to be filled with more feathers and shells. Behind the bowl is a large crochet bee. At the back on the right is a broken sea urchin exoskeleton with mouth pinchy bits, it's sitting on top of an old box which had chocolate truffles in during it's former life. Trapped against the right wall of the cubby is a print of art by the amazing Amber Fossey. My favourite thing is probably the bit of an old clay pipe which is at the very front.

@dillyd I have a bit of bark that seems to be where I store stray pegs, like some tiny coolamon! And a coaster i found on the ground after tree trimming.
Late to the thread, but it made me remember this pretty little shell I have kept since 1999, mostly because I took one of my favorite photos of it, lying on the sand with the waves churning around it.
Somewhere on Florida's east coast, in the last milenium.
Alt...
A mid-sized white shell with deep striations and bits of a caramel color on it, sits on a wooden surface. Behind it, in a glass frame held together by plaster pieces that look like fossils is a photograph of this very shell, still free on the beach in 1999, with the water bubbling all around it as it sits on the sand. The colors were very vibrant, and the photo shows that.
My collection of agate and flint pebbles are not ready for viewing, having recently fallen in a tumbler.

A square clear glass container holds white, blue and green pieces of sea glass of various shapes and sizes. On top are three small shells and a smooth, white, oval rock.
@Barbramon1 @dillyd I love this.
I have bowls of rocks that I keep meaning to get pics of…
@Devils_Rancher @dillyd I have many, many rocks and shells and pieces of wood and other found stuff in boxes.
I have collected all my life. When downsizing from a much bigger home, I couldn't
bear to part with my treasures. I could do a rotating display, but it seems like a lot of work.
@Barbramon1 @dillyd I have a habit of picking up stream cobbles from river passages in caves - just a few, because rocks are heavy and what goes down into the cave must climb back up. 😀
I also have a bowl of beach rocks collected over the years at my Granny’s house in Oregon. Oh hey, I have a pic of it on my phone already!

A shallow terracotta bowl filled with surf-worn pebbles of many different colors. I piece of driftwood lies across the top and a small pine one and seashell are on the sides.

Ask Ethan: Do evaporating black holes ever lose their event horizons?
When black holes evaporate, their event horizons shrink.
If those horizons get small enough, could they possibly reveal some object other than a singularity at their cores?

The good folks at #Gentoo are looking for new infrastructure sponsors. They're mostly looking for rack-space, power and connectivity and they'll provide the hardware. Preferably outside the US, but not necessarily.

Yet another space debris event - the breakup of the defunct Soviet-era Meteor 2-7 satellite on Oct 5, as reported by LeoLabs.
NORAD ID 12456
Launched in 1981.
Orbit: 828 x 898 km, 81.2° inclination, near-polar, non-sun-synchronous.
Ceased operations on 14 Nov 1982.
Prior debris event: March 2004.
Two other such events have occurred in the past few months - YG-50 02 and USA 32.

How far would you go to right a wrong? ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is a spooky adventure story for younger readers involving a two-century-old family mystery and the haunting of Dunmore Park, a ruined house in central Scotland.
What lies beyond the yellow door? More than you might think, and much more than the book’s young characters expect as they explore the neglected and heavily overgrown ruined stable block at Dunmore Park.

The image shows a faded yellow door standing open on the left, with part of its doorframe on the right. Beyond is a stone hallway with debris on the ground and closed doors on both sides. Dirty white wooden panelling provides a doorway to the further part of the hall, and to a set of steps leading upwards into darkness. The front cover of ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is shown in the top left corner.
