Creativity in Teaching and Learning
“The Little Boy” by Helen E. Buckley
Once a little boy went to school.
He was quite a little boy.
And it was quite a big school.
But when the little boy found that he could go to his classroom
By walking right in from the door outside,
He was happy.
And the school did not seem
Quite so big anymore.
One morning,
When the little boy had been in school a while,

Public money should only be invested in public goods. If tech companies or products are being funded with government money, our money, then the code should be transparent and accessible to all of us. Us, who paid for it.

@dragonfiEvelyn Estelle absolutely. And while we're at it, lets have public repos where the citizenry can review and contribute. That would properly honour the spirit of democracy -- and likely be a very beneficial thing, bidirectionally.

Effects of Drug Exposure on Brain Development by Jocelien Olivier & Bart A. Ellenbroek, 2025
This volume aims to provide the most recent scientific evidence showing how perinatal drug treatment influences the development of the brain and behavior of the offspring. Authors summarize both human and animal literature.
Preface
Why a book on “epigenetics and rare diseases?” The answer is that epigenetics, as well as all -omics fields of study, such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have allowed a real revolution in all branches of medicine in recent years. On the other hand, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the epigenetic modifications of the genome due to environmental stress factors—and the part that lifestyle plays for each of us—are well known today.

We gradually switched from a linear medicine model having the genetic background and the altered immune-inflammatory response as key actors (possibly activated by exogenous infectious agents) to a much more articulated model, which involves the participation of more players, including the microbiome, the role of the environment and epigenetic modulations, all within a continuous cross-talk between complex biological systems.
It's white people's responsibility to stop racism.
It's men's responsibility to stop sexism.
It's cis people's responsibility to stop transphobia.
It's straight people's responsibility to stop homophobia.
It's able people's responsibility to stop ableism.
It's always the responsibility of the people in a position of privilege to stop the oppression they are benefiting from.
If you are part of a privileged group, in one way or another, get to it.
Epigenetics and Rare Diseases by Lorenzo Emmi & Vassilios Fanos, 2025
#Epigenetics, as well as all -omics fields of study, such as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, have caused a revolution in all branches of medicine in recent years. This book provides a detailed evidence-based overview of the latest developments in how the recent acquisitions on the human genome and epigenome is relevant, and how it impacts our understanding of rare diseases of the immune system.

Scientists have discovered a fern from South China that naturally forms tiny crystals containing rare earth elements (REEs). This breakthrough opens the door to a promising new way of "green mining" of these minerals called #phytomining.

Their immense morphological and chemical diversity is particularly noteworthy, though they also share common traits, such as a high content of carbohydrates like β-glucans and chitin. A key challenge in the current landscape is to enhance extraction methods for these bioactive compounds and to better characterize the chemical profiles of commercial, wild, and filamentous fungi used in the food industry.

The metabolic versatility of fungi is reflected in a wide range of health effects. Particularly notable are the prebiotic effects of certain polysaccharides and the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial potential of some metabolites. In addition, metabolites from certain so-called medicinal fungi have shown remarkable neurological effects, opening the door to the screening of promising fungal species for applications in the food or pharmaceutical industries.
Fungi by Pablo Navarro Simarro, 2025
The aim of this volume is to provide food scientists, biotechnologists and biochemists with a compilation of protocols focused on the extraction of bioactive compounds from fungi. Across its 21 chapters, the volume explores three fundamental areas: the extraction, quantification, and identification of fungal bioactive compounds; the evaluation of their effects on health; and the development of novel functional foods.
Preface
Fungi play a crucial role in nutrient recycling within terrestrial ecosystems and, for centuries, have helped us upcycle agricultural by-products. Thanks to their powerful enzymatic machinery, they can break down substrates such as straw or compost, giving rise to fruiting bodies, mycelium, and even spores that can be both nutritious and beneficial to health.

Palestinians call for mobile homes, caravans as tents have worn out
People are now asking for mobile houses, caravans. They don’t want tents any more.
They’re saying that they’ve been asking for tents for the past two years, they have been living with the same plastic sheets and tarps for the past two years, and they’re all fragile and worn out.
![Palestinians struggle to live under harsh conditions as cold weather damages tents amid Israeli attacks in Gaza City, Gaza, on December 12, 2025 [Mahmoud Abu Hamda/Anadolu]](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/711/792/385/187/729/original/d45f5e652fb70d12.webp)
“The Israeli authorities continue to block the entry of basic shelter materials, fuel and water infrastructure, leaving people exposed to entirely preventable harm. When access is denied, storms become deadly. This suffering is being manufactured by policy, not weather.”

Heavy rains trigger floods, mass evacuations in Pacific Northwest
Heavy rains drenching the Pacific Northwest triggered flooding across much of the region, closing dozens of roads and prompting the evacuations of tens of thousands of people.

@silverpill I have some problems while installation of Mitra on my Debian server mysteriousinsight.xyz
First, it seems to be installed, because if I enter mitra on terminal it shows me
Mitra admin CLIUsage: mitra [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>Commands:....
If I try to use e.g. the command mitra instance-report it shows
thread 'main' panicked at mitra_config/src/loader.rs:54:9: /var/lib/mitra owner (109) is different from the current user (0) note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
If I try cargo build --release --features production on terminal, it shows
error: could not find `Cargo.toml` in `/root` or any parent directory
Thank you :)

@NilaJones People really believe it was their hard work that got them ahead. But you can always point to the exact circumstances and turning points where our privileges allowed the hard work to even affect anything in your life.
And the funny thing is, thinking about "working hard" affecting your circumstances. There are maybe two people (in these circles) I can think of who have worked anything CLOSE to as hard or struggled as much as I have over the past 35 years.
AND! I don't think it's a coincidence that those are also the only two people who have offered me financial support when things were really bad!
Apropos!
