During this morning's Wikipedia dive, I came across this cool picture of Czechoslovakian children learning how to ride bikes in the 80s, so I'm sharing. source of the photo: Josef Henja https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#/media/File:Children_competition_on_side_wheels_in_the_eighties_in_Czechoslovakia.jpg #80s #cycling #czechoslovakia #children #photography

I just watched &quot;The Monolith Monsters&quot; from 1957, courtesy of the Internet Archive. It was good, clean fun, and I wouldn&#39;t mind watching it again sometime. If you&#39;re looking for something to watch (for free!), give this one a try. https://archive.org/details/TheMonolithMonsters1957? #InternetArchive #oldMovies #1950s #speculative

If you&#39;re looking for articles to read for Pride Month or about queerness in general, in its many forms, JSTOR Daily has put together a bunch of interesting pieces (with accessible research sources). https://daily.jstor.org/lgbtq-pride-month-editors-picks/ #prideMonth #queer #queerAcademia

Another fun film from the Internet Archive: The Land Unknown, 1957. Good special effects for the time. A pretty (of course) reporter heads to the South Pole with 800 men, then gets stranded with 3 of them. See if you can spot the scene they shot for the beginning and then ended up using towards the end of the movie! (Magic sleeves: now you see them, now you don&#39;t) Ps: In case of danger: faint. The men will fix it. https://archive.org/details/the-land-unknown #movie #1950s #scifi #...

Stumbled across some dead man&#39;s fingers this weekend! (well, not literally) about dead man&#39;s fingers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylaria_polymorpha #mosstodon #fungiFriends #fungi #naturephotography #closeup

The Internet is ... not what it was like when I started using it, nearly 30 years ago. But the &#39;old Internet&#39; isn&#39;t dead. It&#39;s right where we left it. This was a good read - interesting and hopeful. Thank you, @tg ! https://www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-internet thinking, again, that it&#39;s time to go back to blogging. #internet #federated

Another free resource: Stéphane Pigeon&#39;s online cat. This cat will NOT sit on your keyboard or attack your printer. It will purr while you work / read / sleep / ... https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/catPurrNoiseGenerator.php You can fiddle with the frequencies etc until you get the purr you need, or use one of the many presets. Actual recordings of Stéphane&#39;s cat Babouche. (fiddling with actual cats not recommended! Scritchums yes, fiddles no.) #whiteNoise #actuallyAutistic...

There&#39;s not a lot of #research (yet) about older Autistic folks, so I thought this project was interesting: If you&#39;re diagnosed or self-diagnosed AND in the UK, Luxemburg or Germany, and you want to add to the data, you can fill out a &quot;Questionnaire about Quality of life for Autistics aged 40+&quot; https://www.soscisurvey.de/aqol/ #autismResearch #actuallyAutistic #AutismusForschung #Aging #Research

I still think that Dylan Thomas&#39; &quot;Fern Hill&quot; is a perfect poem... So I&#39;m sharing it here, if you need a poem today. Maybe read it out loud, it&#39;s got such a lovely music to it. https://poets.org/poem/fern-hill #poetry #mastopoets #wales #autisticJoy #literature

Birds are dislodging the moss off of the trees etc, looking for grub(s). Found this little moss island and placed it in a crack in a tree&#39;s bark where it will hopefully thrive. The flower-like leaves! #mosstodon #moss #naturephotography

Came across Planet Moss in my neighborhood. Moss and lichen have completely taken over this concrete pillar, and it's a thing of beauty. #mosstodon #moosMontag #lichen #naturephotography #lookclosely
