PhD day 773 | My work stamina is much better after allowing myself to follow my curiosity for two days. Working on what I "should" be doing doesn't feel so overwhelming now.

Just read a perfectly fine fanfiction that took place in Germany but something that stood out to me was a chapter where the characters walk across a field and is approached by the farmer yelling at them to get off his land.

I’ve come across this plot point a few times and I feel like it’s worth telling writers that most of Europe has some version of Right To Roam. The laws aren’t the same in every country but generally you’re allowed to walk and rest on private property like fields and forests so long as you don’t destroy crops or leave trash, but not gardens or fenced in areas. Depending on the country you also have the right to pick mushrooms, berries, nuts and other edible things in forests but without chopping trees down or breaking branches. The owner of the land might put up a sign asking you to follow certain guidelines like no horses or keeping your dog on a leash but but there’s no real repercussions to not following the rules besides the owner eventually fencing the area off so people can’t enjoy it anymore.

I’ve personally walked around on a field while the farmer was harvesting potatoes with his big ass machine and collected the leftovers while my dog was trotting calmly besides me and he looked straight at me and didn’t care one bit because Denmark also has an old tradition of letting people collect what’s left as a form of charity (for my fellow Danes, that’s what “rev vi marken let, det er gammel ret, fuglen og den fattige skal også være mæt” means in the song Marken Er Mejet) This is just a tradition and not a law however so it depends on the farmer.

The very north of Europe like Norway and Sweden even give people the right to put up tents and camp on other people’s private land (except gardens and such). Again, the laws vary from country to country but as a rule of thumb you have more right to roam the further north you go and less the further south but if you want to write in a specific country look up the laws there.

''The bird keeps silent and suffers. However much heartache it has, it keeps silent. Even the melancholic mourning dove of the desert or of solitude keeps silent. It sighs three times and then keeps silent, sighs again three times, but is essentially silent. For what it is it does not say; it does not complain; it accuses no one; it sighs only to fall silent again. Indeed, it is as if the silence would cause it to burst; therefore it must sigh in order to keep silent. The bird is not free of suffering, but the silent bird frees itself from what makes the suffering more burdensome: from the misunderstood sympathy of others; frees itself from what makes the suffering last longer: from all the talk of suffering; frees itself from what makes the suffering into something worse than suffering: from the sin of impatience and sadness.''

-Søren Kierkegaard, The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air

''Fuglen tier og lider. Hvor megen Hjertesorg den end har, den tier. Selv Ørkenens eller Eensomhedens tungsindige Klagesanger tier. Den sukker tre Gange, derpaa tier den, sukker atter tre Gange; men væsentligen tier den. Thi hvad det er, siger den ikke, den klager ikke, den anklager Ingen, den sukker for igjen at komme til at tie. Det er nemlig som vilde Tausheden sprænge den, derfor maa den sukke, for at kunne tie. Fritagen for Lidelse er Fuglen ikke; men den tause Fugl fritager sig for hvad der gjør Lidelsen tungere, Andres misforstaede Deeltagelse, for hvad der gjør Lidelsen langvarigere, den megen Talen om Lidelsen, for hvad der gjør Lidelsen til det som er værre end Lidelse, til Utaalmodighedens og Sørgmodighedens Synd.''

-Søren Kierkegaard, Lilien paa Marken og Fuglen under Himlen

[i-draws-dinosaurs]

i was rewatching the rite of spring segment from fantasia and i've got to wonder. Why Did We Draw Archaeopteryx Like That. i remember toys having that same, boomerang arm shaped pose too. it's like a monkey lizard more than a bird.

Ooh okay this is a fun one cause while it technically is an Archaeopteryx and is listed as such in the production draft, I don't think the design is based on Archaeopteryx at all!

To me, this "Archaeopteryx" almost exactly resembles something else, the fascinating historical phenomenon called Proavis.

Proavis, or Tetrapteryx as some four-winged interpretations were called, was a hypothetical prehistoric creature that was proposed in the early 20th century as a best guess at what the unknown ancestor of birds could have looked like. The illustration above was drawn in 1926 by Gerhard Heilmann, a Danish artist and amateur scientist who argued that birds evolved from non-dinosaurian archosaurs like Euparkeria. In his 1916 book Vor Nuvaerende Viden om Fuglenes Afstamning and the 1926 English translation The Origin of Birds, he presented Proavis as the imagined midpoint between a scaly ground-running archosaur and Archaeopteryx, which at the time held the title of The First Bird.

Other versions of the same hypothesis, like William Beebe's Tetrapteryx above, were published and discussed around the same time, but it was Heilmann's Proavis that gained immense popularity to the point that bird evolution was considered essentially "solved" for decades. It was also painted by Zdeněk Burian, one of the Old Greats of palaeoart, which kept the concept alive in dinosaur books for decades as well.

Of course further study has shown this hypothesis to be incorrect and that birds are instead members of Dinosauria (and honestly Heilmann either missed or ignored a lot of evidence for a dinosaurian origin of birds even in the 1910s), but the Proavis to me remains a beautiful and fascinating concept that represents scientists and artists striving to understand the prehistoric world and the passage of evolution, much like we still do today!

And of course, its popularity in the early 20th century put it at the perfect time for Fantasia's artists to take... let's say heavy inspiration from Heilmann's imaginary Proavis when depicting a creature that was intended to be Archaeopteryx the whole time! The pattern of feathers matches up almost exactly, although the larger leg wings might have been inspired by Beebe's Tetrapteryx as well:

So to get back to your original question that led to this whole deep dive, artists didn't actually Draw Archaeopteryx Like That except when they were mistakenly drawing something that wasn't Archaeopteryx at all! If you want to read more about the Proavis and Tetrapteryx I recommend this Tetrapod Zoology blog post by Darren Naish, he does into more depth about the history of the concept and some of the unusual evolutionary ideas that Heilmann used to arrive at this weird and cool imaginary creature!

Hi there! Hope you’re well and not melting away in the humidity. I am super excited to be planning a trip to Japan again after almost four years away. Considering I lived 1) in Kansai-ish territory and 2) near Nagoya, I never got much chance to explore Tokyo outside of the usual tourist places. I already have Jinbocho on my list (along with one of the Aoyama flower market tea houses and Nakano Broadway)— do you have any suggestions for what’s fun in Tokyo for someone who is a little more experienced with the area?

Welcome back!

Now here's a challenge! I don’t know whether you're looking for new & trendy, or old & traditional, and a lot depends on the season, but…

1) Stroll from Ueno Park or Nezu to Yanaka and Sendagi. See if you can find Snake Street and follow its curves. Yanaka is as Kyoto as Tokyo gets. Yanaka and Kagurazaka.

2) Shibamata for more old Edo vibes. Cross the river on the ferry. Only ferry in Tokyo.

3) Sunamachi Ginza Shopping District in Koto-ku: another old area that's being transformed by gentrification.

4) Get lost in Shibuya Station, just for fun, but take tranquilizers with you. Walk from Shibuya via Shoto to Yoyogi Park. Shoto is one of the wealthiest areas in Tokyo, but it's not as famous as, say, Azabu-Juban or Denenchofu. Stop at Levain for bread and Fuglen for coffee.

5) Explore the swanky, hipsterish areas of Kichijōji, Shimokitazawa, Daikanyama. Take the Setagaya Tram Line from Sangenjaya to Gotokuji and visit the temple birthplace of the famous maneki-neko. Lots of tiny shops and quaint shopping streets in a relatively upmarket area along the way.

6) Okutama. Walk along the Mitake Valley Riverside Trail, from Ikusabata to Sawai, stop for sake at the Sawanoi Sake Brewery, visit the Gyokudo Museum. You can continue past Mitake to the Okutama Fishing Centre. If you are here in autumn, you'll see breathtaking autumn colours.

7) Yokohama! Not exactly Tokyo, but a nice day trip. Minato-Mirai, Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery (no, seriously, Google it), Sankeien Gardens.

I'm not a food expert, but there are really nice restaurants in all these areas. Add Yakitori Alley in Yurakucho to your list: great atmosphere. (There's a maze under the tracks between Yurakucho and Shimbashi. Well worth a visit, but it gets a bit dystopian.) Museums? Fukagawa Edo Museum in Kiyosumi, all the art museums in Ueno Park. Plants 'n stuff? Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome. Shinjuku Gyoen remains my favourite Tokyo park/garden.

It's very touristy, but so iconic that it's really worth it: New York Bar and Grill in the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Expensive though. Cocktail Works is a craft gin bar in Kanda (close to Jimbocho), and a very good alternative (but without the glorious view) (which is the whole point) (actually).

Oh, by the way, Piss Alley in Shinjuku? So yesterday. Try Sankaku Chitai in Sangenjaya or Nogecho in Yokohama instead. Shh, don't tell anyone.

Best free and still relatively uncrowded view of skyline: Bunkyo Civic Center observation lounge. Shh again.

Would this suffice? If you send more details about your timing and what you're interested in, I'll happily add more.

Enjoy the planning as much as the trip! 😊

[beebooks]

jeg likte boka veldig godt til å begynne med men den har dalt litt i de siste kapitlene. ikke fordi noe har endret seg, mer fordi ingenting har endret seg, og det som var veldig sjarmernde med hvor høyt forfatteren verdsatte fuglene til å begynne med har blitt en irriterende gjennomgående antropomorfisering. lissom jeg tror ikke det holder å kaste ut én gang at det å kalle fuglers partnerskap for ekteskap er unøyaktig når du da har snakket om og forsetter å snakke om det som ekteskap. det er litt gøy til å begynne med, men fugler gifter seg ikke med hverandre. selv ikke fugler som beholder samme partner år etter år er gift med hverandre

ja, det er et interessant spørsmål: når kan vi si at dyr viser kjærlighet eller hatskap? er det noen gang rett å lese disse følelsene i dyrs atferd? men jeg føler han utdyper ikke dette spørsmålet godt nok til at jeg kan se bort ifra hvor innmari mye han antropomorfiserer fuglene han skriver om

Fredag 29. Desember: Uglekafe

«Yuu», sønnen til TottoChan var så grei og tok oss(meg og Hotaru), med til en kafé med mange ulike fugler i dag, som f.eks. ugler.

Det virket som at alle fuglene elsker Yuu, tror han må være fuglenes konge eller noe.

Vet ikke helt hva Hotaru drev på med, men la gutten holde på!

Var på kafeen i hele 2 timer, før vi dro videre og spiste indisk mat. Valgte en av de sterkeste rettene på menyen, men det angrer jeg litt på nå. Den var så sterk at munnen min var i fyr og flammer, fikk smake litt av Yuu’s søte curry med kokosmelk og reke. Burde heller valgt den… klarte på et eller annet vis å spise opp alt da.

Nabe på kvelden, uten egg.

[eikleknesundelnes]

Fra innsiden av egget er verden utenfor blot passerende lyder, farger og vibrationer - inntrykk som flyter over til inntrykk. En stille refleksjon over tiden som passerer i isolasjon. I karantene i England oppleves verden utenfor huset som uendelig og ugjennomtrengelig, separert fra selvet gjennom ett usynlig membran. Jeg er fuglen i egget, i venten på verden. Instruksjoner: Til telefon: Finn en mørk og intim krok i hjemmet, ett hjørne, under ett bord. sett på hodetelefoner Spill av film Til projector: Koble sammen laptop og projector, legg deg ned på gulvet, hold projektoren i fanget, projiser opp i taket. Lyden kan avspilles over hodetelefoner eller høgtalere.

For the ask game, i'll drop #3 if this hasn't been asked yet!

3. 3 songs that mean something to you

oh this is a good one! let me seeeee— well firstly this one

whispers in the dark is a song i listened to a lot when i was younger. i believe it was the first skillet song i ever properly listened to, and since skillet later became my favorite band ever, it’s special to me. furthermore it brings me a lot of memories of spending time with my bestie on summer nights. laughing until i cried. him reading yaoi out loud for me. us writing on each our pc’s or in notebooks or whatever. i don’t even think we listened to this song for all of it, but in general it just reminds me of the times we’ve spent together in our childhood.

this is a danish song. it’s a folk music artist whom i’ve heard live once a year for so many years. all of his music is special to me though. it reminds me of good times and safety. and also it reminds me of summer when my mom opened all the windows and the doors and the sun was shining and she’s clean the entire house listening to him.

another danish one. but one was played when my grandmothers ashes was lowered into the ground (on her own request before she passed). it’s more of a painful/bittersweet meaning and if i sit by myself listening to it i will still cry. i remember my dad leaving once when it came on, because it hit him so hard. she was a special woman. i mean obviously she was my grandmother and i loved her, but even so, she was an extraordinary woman. and even now typing this i am actually crying, and i didn’t expect to. so i guess it still has an impact on me.

@Fuglen, and Roppongi Tokyo.

[kaotixka]

Jeg håber hjorten på motorvejen finder fred, at den finder en form for himmel. Et sted hvor græsset for lov til at vokse sig langt.

Jeg håber insekterne i luften der blev smækket uden hensyn - for forbrydelsen - at være lille? Vågner igen et sted med tusinde af sole søde som sukker.

Jeg håber fuglene druknet i olie med plastisk i halsen, vågner med rene fjer og fyldte maver.

Hvis jeg også bliver myrdet som straf for at leve, så håber jeg døden er blidere end mand.

[mildlyoccultish]

Fuglene spiser det indefra.

Det er fokken metal.

Happy to report that “a new threat has emerged”. The latest development in the goat saga is that the goat is being eaten alive by birds. This has, according to experts on the news, never happened before.
