autumn comes

October lilts 
frosted sigh
pumpkin moon 
adorns ebon frilled sky 

Nothing too deep for this week’s post, but something I feel like I need to let out regardless 🙂

I often have a series of flickering moments where I feel overwhelmed. So overwhelmed that my mind feels like it is in a million places all at once. Sometimes it feels like I can’t take it anymore. But that is when I remember, my well being is more important than anything else…

We all have mental health. It is how we feel from the inside. But with the constant ‘doing’ and going on and on with our lives without taking breaks, sometimes we forget that it is even there. And I have realised that I can’t do anything – whether it’s studying, being productive, working, talking to people – properly if my mind isn’t at the right place. The mind is the most powerful muscle in our body, so why be…

” De forma que gastar tempo é hoje o único fim da minha existência deserta. Se viajo, se escrevo- numa palavra, creia-me: é só para consumir instantes. Mas dentro em pouco- já o pressinto- isto mesmo me saciará. E que fazer então? Não sei…não sei…Ah! que amargura infinita…”

Heute gibt es mal wieder ein Rezept. Dieses habe ich auf Ned Hansons Blog entdeckt, und es stammt von Diane’s Kitchen. Es ist eines dieser einfachen, aber sehr schmackhaften Rezepte, das auch noch durch die unterschiedlichen Texturen und Temperaturen besticht, jeder Biss ein Knüller. Wichtig ist bei diesem Rezept, dass alle Zutaten geschnitten und vorbereitet sein sollten, bevor man anfängt, die Lagen aufeinanderzuschichten.

The Gendered Ape, Essay 6: Those Embarrassing Bonobos!

POSTED ON MONDAY, OCT 17, 2022 2:15AM BY FRANS DE WAAL

Editor’s Note: Frans de Waal’s new book, Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist, has generated some controversy and misunderstanding. He will address these issues in a series of short essays which will be published at 3QD and can all be seen in one place here. More comments on these essays can also be seen at Frans de Waal’s Facebook page.
