Knock up a wooden teahouse, scatter large boulders, dig a channel and fill with water, add a bridge.

You have yourself a Japanese garden.

That is as fine a beard of lichens I’ve ever seen!

Mosses have minuscule leaves called microphylls, which is where photosynthesis occurs.

They take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.

Aren’t we lucky to have such an ingenious ecosystem?

Fell at the first hurdle despite being fully aware today was white-diet day: had my first coffee at 1am with its usual oat cream.
Really hoping it doesn’t fuck up Monday’s four-hour procedure.
What an oaf.

It’s unbearable, and he goes on and on without pause. Our dad would be ashamed and sad.

No one stopped the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians.

We must isolate the IDF and the US Department of War so they can no longer terrorise the world.

Does anyone want a dimwit ex-brother who rams Reform ideologies down the throats of anyone in the vicinity?

I had to turf him out after 45 minutes.

Lying down in a darkened room now with a massive headache.

How an underground fungal map of the world's oldest, slowest-growing rainforest trees can boost Earth's resilience The temperate rainforests of the Chilean Coast Range are home to a spectacular array of life: iridescent blue lizards, tiny wild cats called kodkods, and curly vines of waxy red bellflowers. Towering ...

Globally, mycorrhizal fungal communities move roughly a billion tons of carbon per year into Earth's soils, above all in old-growth forests.

Wild, natural ecosystems are the bedrock of a healthy planet. It's time we started recognising and acting on that.

A government’s overriding duty, said Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro SΓ‘nchez, was to protect and improve the lives of its citizens, not manipulate or profit from global conflicts.

Β‘Bravo, SeΓ±or SΓ‘nchez!

They certainly create trash (or rubbish, as we say in the UK).
More people=more rubbish, and anything accumulated that isn’t perishable never ever goes away.
It’s sickening.

Ah.

That’s highly intrusive.

You seem to get outside a lot, so keep doing that!

A vivid memory of those times.
And my brother was buried in his threadbare Miners’ Strike T-shirt in 2007.

He’s always been a slimeball.

The graphic has been updated. Some minor errors had to be corrected.

I've also added the German numeral 'zig' (umpteen), which, like Dutch 'tig', was extracted from numerals such as 'vierzig' rather recently.

You can always find the latest versions of my graphics on tumblr.com/yvanspijk!

I really think it depends on upbringing, as well as the massive shift to socialising online.
