Recursion, see Recursion.

I was laying on the sofa this afternoon, scrolling some old posts of this blog, when the couple across the street, came out on their balcony for a smoke. I was able to snap a double photo of them!

(All the other memes I made..)

ok so if chinese swimmers are fast as hell and broke records/won medals, they are doping; if an algerian female boxer knocks out her weak opponent in under a minute, she's transvestigated and if an indian athlete is 100 grams overweight, she's disqualified without anybody challenging the decision BUT a dutch man is allowed to play on the beach volleyball national team even after raping a 12 year old... pretty interesting in my opinion

Plant of the Day

Monday 13 January 2025

Found along a pathway in an urban situation was this casccade of goji berries on Lycium barbarum (Duke of Argyll's tea tree, Barbary box thorn, Barbary wolfberry, Chinese box thorn, matrimony vine, Tibetan goji berry, vicar's tea party, European box thorn). This scrambling, deciduous shrub can reach up to 3m tall. The flexible spiny stems have narrow, dull green leaves and small, dull purple flowers in late spring and summer. The species can be invasive.

🦚 Jade | 玉 🦚

Jade was considered to be the "imperial gem" and “stone of heaven” symbolising prosperity, success, good luck, renewable, longevity and immortality.

Jade was being mined in China as early as 6000 BC. In Chinese culture and history, jade has a special significance comparable with that of gold in Europe.

Jade was, and still is, mostly obtained from the oasis region of the Tarim Basin, where modern-day Xinjiang province is.

74-year-old actress Liu Xiaoping is considered the “Jade Queen” in China, with a collection worth 10.2 billion yuan (140 million USD) of jade jewelry.

Wong Fei-hung (Jackie Chan) undergoes some rigorous old school kung fu training under the tutelage of Beggar So (Yuen Liu-tin/Simon Yuen) in Drunken Master (1978).

The film was directed by Yuen Woo-ping, the action choreographer of The Matrix (1999), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and many, many more. He cast his father as Beggar So.

how well would ur characters clean the dishes

i only care abt quasar rn so im just gonna do her

truth be told, she's not actually that good at cleaning dishes. it's not that no one taught her, it's just that she's very resourceful. which is to say she doesn't use standard dishes and silverware. which is to say she will use whatever is at her disposal without a single qualm
