“Poor is the mind that always uses the inventions of others and invents nothing itself."

De Disciplina Scholarium, Pseudo-Boethius (13th century)

The quote appears on a sketch by Hieronymous Bosch called "The Hearing Forest and the Seeing Field" which you can see here:

I learned of its existence from this book by Robert Macfarlane, which I cannot recommend highly enough, particularly the audio version, which he reads himself.

"Every day it stays up tells people like me that someone is willing to be brave so we don't have to feel alone."

A lesbian couple in Michigan fly a pride flag outside their house.

A few days ago, this arrived in their mailbox 😭 :transheart: 🏳️‍🌈

Edit: So one of the women who lives in the house is also trans, but this young girl doesn't know it. I don't like posting links to BS, but this one's worth it:

This whole thing sounds like a way to suck power from Holyrood and back to England.
