While a photograph can capture the morning light and the gentleness of ferns, it can't quite convey the fresh, delicate scent of the forest at dawn - so I invite you to let your imagination fill in what the picture can't.

"I think it's Moshe Sharvit," said Gil Alexander, 72, a devout religious Jew who tries to protect Palestinian shepherds from intimidation by Jewish settlers.
Over the last year we've been documenting his work with shepherds in the northern Jordan Valley, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

@PeterMotte @BradRubenstein It all depends on context. For things like legal documents and science documents, precise definition of the important terms is very important.
Orthography is als helpful, because it makes texts a lot easier to read. It should not be used to ridicule people who make mistakes though.
Same for grammar rules - they should be a language acquisition tool, not a penalizing tool.
Linguistic prescriptivism / normativity only makes sense from a socio-linguistic perspective. I won't get the job I want if I refuse to learn and follow the rules of situationally correct speech & writing. That employer will not care about my thoughts about prescriptivism as he tells me "no thanks".

Finished out my vacation week with a strong push on mugs, and a few bud vases.
I *think* these mugs will be 12-14oz after 14% shrinkage. Large but not massive. I'll also make some 6-8oz versions.
Need to experiment more with different vase dimensions. Stretching the same slightly-coned mug form.

The image features a vibrant green gecko with distinctive red spots on its back and head, perched on a large, glossy green leaf. The gecko's body is elongated, with a textured skin that appears bumpy and scaly. Its head is slightly turned, showcasing a large, round eye with a vertical pupil, and a small red spot near the eye. The gecko's limbs are spread out, with visible toes that have adhesive pads, allowing it to cling to the leaf. The leaf has a smooth, shiny surface with a central vein running down the middle, and there are small debris particles scattered on it. The background is blurred, suggesting a natural, possibly tropical, environment.

Das Bild zeigt eine Schmetterlingsart, die auf einer weißen, rauen Oberfläche ruht. Die Schmetterlingsflecken sind hauptsächlich in Grautönen gehalten, mit feinen, dunklen Punkten und Linien, die ein Muster bilden. Die Flügel sind leicht geöffnet, was die Details der Musterung deutlich macht. Die Oberfläche, auf der der Schmetterling sitzt, hat eine Textur, die an eine gestrichene Wand erinnert, mit kleinen, runden Erhebungen und Senkungen, die das Licht variieren lassen. Der Schmetterling ist zentral im Bild platziert, was seine Bedeutung hervorhebt.

Surprisingly, the disk is curved at its edges, colored by dark dust, bright stars, and red nebulas. Gaia was deactivated in March after its successful run.
