Thanks so much, Nathan!! I remember you & your bio and am still curious how tall you are! Thanks for supporting Folklorn -- The Loom Tree has more jokes, music, borderless myths, interdisciplinary fun facts and fashion.

Marsupials previously thought extinct for millennia discovered in New Guinea The chances of finding one mammal species thought to be lost was β€˜almost zero’ and finding two is β€˜unprecedented’, biologist Tim Flannery says

"Two charismatic marsupial species that had been thought extinct for 6,000 years are alive in rainforest in remote West Papua."

Oh yeah this is super cool as both the pygmy long-fingered possum and ring-tailed glider were previously only known from fossils 🀯πŸ§ͺπŸ€

🧡 Shares always appreciated, my visibility on this site has plummeted in the last year or so (that large follower count is mostly dead accounts left by Bluesky's ethnic cleansing of Palestinian users). Thank you 🀍

In "Visit to the Plastic Surgeon" by Remedios Varo, a mystical figure is depicted approaching an arched doorway of a surreal surgical clinic, emphasizing themes of transformation and identity. Varo's incorporation of fantastical and dreamlike elements reflects her influence from Surrealism and evokes a sense of metaphysical exploration.

Some news: my book, Audition For The Fox, is headed into a 2nd printing! This is awesome for several reasons, but mostly it means people are taking a chance on a book with a wily fox, and I'm so dang grateful! Here's what a 2nd printing means:

Valentine
Carol Ann Duffy

Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or a kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
