#oddangles in #blackandwhite because why not?
The sculpture is—quite fittingly—“The Open Mind of Lafcadio Hearn” (2009), one of four sculptures created by Japanese artist Masaaki Noda commemorating Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, the Greek-Irish writer, translator, and teacher whose writings offered unprecedented insight into Japanese culture.
•
Noda's other three Hearn sculptures are:
“The Open Mind of Lafcadio Hearn” Matsue, Japan 2010
“Lafcadio Hearn – Odyssey of an Open Mind” Lefkada, Greece 2014
“Eternity – Resting Place of Lafcadio Hearn” Tokyo, Japan 2019.
•
In Greece, you can also marvel at his “Apollo’s Mirror” (2005) in Delphi and at “The Spirit of Hermes” (2010) in Marathonas.

Baking Bad: GingerDead Men💀 – A #halloween🎃 treat (recipe 🔗 in bio)
•
Χωρίς να έχω κάνει ενδελεχή έρευνα για το θέμα, θαρρώ πως τα gingerDead cookies (νεολογισμός από τις λέξεις gingerbread και dead) προέκυψαν μετά την καλτ κωμωδία τρόμου The Gingerdead Man. Στην ταινία κατά συρροή δολοφόνος καταδικάζεται σε θάνατο και αποτεφρώνεται, η μητέρα του παίρνει τις στάχτες του, τις αναμιγνύει με μπαχαρικά (gingerbread spice), τις παρατάει έξω από το ζαχαροπλαστείο της οικογένειας των θυμάτων του γιου της, oι ιδιοκτήτες βρίσκουν το μείγμα, το χρησιμοποιούν –τι πιο σύνηθες– για να φτιάξουν τεράστιο μπισκότο gingerbread man, κι απ’ τον φούρνο ξεπηδά μετενσάρκωση του δολοφόνου που σπέρνει τον τρόμο απαρχής!
•
Την ταινία του 2005 ακολουθούν sequel, crossover, σειρές κόμικ και συλλεκτικά προϊόντα, και κάπως έτσι τα χριστουγεννιάτικα gingerbread men μεταμορφώνονται για το Halloween σε σκελετούς, μούμιες και ζόμπι.

“See the TURTLE of Enormous Girth. On his shell

“See the TURTLE of Enormous Girth.
On his shell he holds the Earth.
His thought is slow, but always kind.
He holds us all within his mind.
On his back all vows are made;
He sees the truth but mayn't aid. He loves the land and loves the sea,
And even loves a child like me.” —Stephen King, poem (about Maturin 👇🏻 ) from The Dark Tower series.
*Maturin, the overarching protagonist of Stephen King's multiverse—unseen but serving in the novel IT, its miniseries, and its film adaptations of the same name, and the overarching protagonist of The Dark Tower series, also a mentioned character of the novel 11/22/63—is a massive turtle who by nature is kind, wise, gentle, and compassionate, and who constantly withdraws into his shell.
•
Turtles and dinosaurs are genetically related, with ancient turtles coexisting alongside dinosaurs.
•
Despite visual similarities, Therizinosaurus, often confused as a turtle, is actually a dinosaur.
•
Modern and ancient turtles differ significantly in biological features, evidenced through fossil studies.
•
Turtles and crocodiles share a closer genetic link, based on recent phylogenetic research.
•
Changes in ancient turtle cladograms reveal shifts in their evolutionary history and classification.
•
Sea turtles’ evolution, from ancient times to the present, has been comprehensively documented.

“When summer's end is nighing And skies at eve

“When summer's end is nighing
And skies at evening cloud,
I muse on change and fortune
And all the feats I vowed
When I was young and proud.”
—A.E. Housman, verse from 𝘟𝘟𝘟𝘐𝘟, Last Poems (1922)
