from Wingbeat

I have always had a fascination for those old hand-colored prints of birds and plants. So, I am a little embarrassed to admit that I did not know about the Flora Batava.

The Flora Batava was an idea of publisher Jan Christiaan Sepp (1739-1811). At the end of the 18th century he wanted to make an overview of the Dutch flora: all plants, mushrooms, mosses, algae and flowers that you could find in the Netherlands.

Many other European countries (such as England) had already put “their” national flora on paper. But there wasn't something like that in the Netherlands. Publisher Jan Christiaan Sepp had already published successful books about Dutch birds and Dutch insects.

Grutto

The project lasted 134 years. The Flora Batava was not released in one go: one could subscribe to episodes (which could later made into a book). In 1800 episode 1 appeared, in 1934 the last. A total of 461 episodes appeared, spread over 28 parts. It is not surprising that there are few complete books.

Plant connoisseurs such as Jan Kops (1765-1849) and Frederik Willem van Eeden (1829-1901) took care of the texts. Artists went to work and made hand-colored drawings. Together they made 2,240 images of more than 2,640 plants.

It was time for me to get to know Flora Batava during the exhibition in the museum ‘House of the book’. According to museum: the oldest books museum in the world. The museum is located in the former home of Baron van Westreenen van Tiellandt (1783-1848) and focuses on the written and printed book in the present and past. The external form and the development of the design of books are central.

Museum

The exhibition is spread over several rooms of the house. Starting with examples of foreign books on flora. Followed by the Dutch books that Sepp already had made about birds and insects.

museum room 1

Museum room 2

And then the Flora Batava. Nice displays of the original artworks, next to the hand colored engravings and lithos in the book. Also nice to see how some owners sometimes added dried plants to the book as being a herbarium.

For science’s sake the book gives information in the changing flora world in the Netherlands, and in the opinions of people about plants. Also the books shows the development int printing techniques.

2022/10/3 #poetry Even if I did begin starting with today it would take so very long and never really pay there's only so much out there but it's way more than one can chew you have to pick quite carefully when choosing what to do each path takes time and as you know you only have so much some things are really wonderful but put you out of touch As life moves on you find that things that seemed important wane if you had dumped more energy in what would you have gained? It isn't that you can't do anything you really want but that you can't devote yourself due to getting caught with every choice you weave a web that can easily ensnare so as you travel along your way pause to orient and beware

There is no currency aboard the Khonshu Alpha. The original ship's system had a credit system, but it is long defunct.

All trade is currently performed through barter, goods and services being traded directly. We represent this in-game with Trade Units (TU).

The TU value of any good or service can vary depending on where the trade takes place. i.e. Fungal goods are common and cheap in the Dim Forest and rare elsewhere.

2022/10/2 #poetry I'm not the type to hurry rushing feels bad but I know well that feelings are interpreted and having this knowledge makes me glad sometimes in some contexts that same feeling of 'rush' can really be a thrill like when you just barely catch the bus there's no reason to make generalized statements of value when talking about feelings context entirely determines how you make your decision about whether it was nice or if you didn't enjoy it but can call it spice

2022/10/1 #poetry Do we get to start today? I've been hardly able to wait. The excitement has built up and I hope this is the date. If we aren't beginning yet, I sorely hope it's not for long. I have been patient as I can get but the feeling of discomfort is strong. When we do get to commence it will thrill me to the core. I have higher expectations then I've ever had before.

2022/9/30 #poetry They talk about their experience Don't you want that too? They expect that you want it but I don't think you do The assumption is so deep that they can't understand and even get angry when you aren't interested in their plan others accept that their path is not for everyone and are matter of fact about their lack of attachment to any outcome if you mention that they are quite trollish, act absurd and anti-social at times that their methods can cause people deep pain and often totally ruin their lives they say that they aren't affected by stories of grief or abuse that what they do has its drawbacks and it is up to each person to choose if they weren't suitably warned that's tragic we could change how we act but you know other people went through that hell and now little things don't bring them so low In my mind this compartmentalization is silly and quite out of place I think that the best way to live changes based on the challenges you face that you won't be able to blindly follow any advice to the letter that if you continue doing things over time almost everything gets better

2022/9/29 #poetry Cutting things with a sharp knife is fun I think it's more fun if you've been struggling for years with dull knives It's not the struggle that makes it fun It's the ease We can have fun because of ease even if we have no previous experience with something at all Experience just helps us to calibrate our expectation of difficulty As we get better at things they can shift from struggle to fun and easy If we find someone who is a contrast to our fun, easy experience with something, their struggle can make us feel that the activity is fun

from Khonshu Alpha

The Khonshu Alpha had several sources of food for its voyage. One of them was the Osiris Fungarium, a large dome (700 sq km) designed for the growing of fungi. It provided vast amounts of protein. It also served as a repository of various fungal species that would help colonize the worlds Khonshu Alpha was headed to.

After the Malfunction, the mycologists kept the fungarium growing as well as they could, but over the centuries the fungi have run riot, forming a strange ecosystem sometimes called The Dim Forest.

The science of Mycology has advanced tremendously over years, and they've been able to develop fungal tech to create weapons, medicines, and the ability to implant skills directly into the human brain.

The dome itself is lit from infrared lights on the dome ceiling. It is in perpetual twilight.

There is one functional maglev station making this level accessible. A small town called Substrate, or Spore City has formed within the station. Traders from across the ship come here to obtain fungal-derived food and medicines. Collectors and explorers use Substrate as a base to mount expeditions into the Dim Forest.

Things to do

  • Make a pilgrimage to ask the Plasmodium Oracle a question.
  • Brave the Puffball Plantation to collect valuable spores.
  • Hunt bandits in the Hyphal Forest
  • Collect wild slime molds to race in Substrate.
  • Visit the House of Mind to implant new skills or sell skills you already possess.

Urlaub in Zeiten der Klimakrise

This time of the year again: Und wieder steht ein Jahresurlaub bevor, mit mulmigem Abwägen (va meinerseits) und dem immer stärker werdenden Bewusstsein, dass eigentlich auch dahingehend bei uns Schluss mit “weiter so” sein müsste. Zwar sind mein Mann und ich seit 10 J bewusst nicht mehr geflogen, und haben es auch weiterhin nicht vor, aber mit dem Verbrenner-Kfz das zweite Jahr in Folge über 1000 km ins bereits hart vom Klimawandel betroffene Italien und zurück ist ja emissionstechnisch auch fragwürdig😬 (auch wenn wir mangels Kohle bereits vor der Corona-Pandemie schon einige Jahre komplett Pause von Urlaubsfahrten eingelegt hatten). Mit der Bahn? Leider zu teuer und nicht genug Zeit zur Verfügung.

Also heißt es abwägen, bzw dem Bedürfnis vom körperlich echt hart arbeitenden, wortwörtlich ausgebeuteten Mann nach ner Einmal-im-Jahr-Auszeit in seiner zweiten (bzw mit Germoney und seinem Geburtsland Albanien, dritten) Heimat Italien nachgeben, wo wir uns, by the way, im Juli vor genau 20 J kennengelernt haben... (💕).

Jedenfalls: Den meisten Anteil am Urlaubs-Emissionsausstoß haben zwar eher Vielfliegende und oft-in-den-Urlaub-Fahrende, trotzdem nagt es an mir, weil das ja nix an unserem eigenen Beitrag ändert, und ich will einfach nur dass das alles ein Ende hat:

Ich will nicht dass Menschen derart ausgebeutet werden, dass deren einziger Ausgleich der hart erarbeitete Jahresurlaub ist, auf dessen größtmögliche Auskostung ihnen durch internalisierten Konsumzwang ein Anrecht suggeriert wurde (was ja aber auch für diejenigen gilt, die nicht ausgebeutet werden). Ich will dass den Menschen bewusst wird, dass es eben nicht “weiter so” geht, wenn uns und vor allem künftigen Generationen #Klimakollaps – mäßig nicht alles vollends um die Ohren fliegen soll. Ich will dass ihnen zur Gänze bewusst wird, dass das allgemeine, in der Mehrheit von der Fossilenergie abhängige Konsum- und Freizeitverhalten die Erderhitzung weiter befeuert (dazu zählt halt ua auch die Fahrt in den Urlaub). Ich will aber auch politisch-soziale Gerechtigkeit, den nötigen Wandel nicht über den Preis zu steuern. Was ansonsten zur Folge hätte, dass es ne noch krassere 2 Klassen-Unkultur gäbe als bisher: Die reichen Hauptverursachenden des Klimawandels machen weiter Highlife, während diejenigen, die zwar weiter hart arbeiten “dürfen”, sich aber weder Erholung noch Klimaanlagen (bei immer unerträglicheren Temperaturen) leisten können... Schon allein deswegen brauchen wir ne sofortige Mobilitätswende (bezahlbarer Öpnv durch solidarische Finanzierung), Schluss mit Überkonsum und der “ich gönn mir die Fernreise/Kreuzfahrt, weil ichs mir verdient hab und weil es meine Bekannten auch machen”-Mentalität (eins wird ja wohl noch hoffen dürfen...)

Wie ich schon öfter schrieb, bräuchte es idealerweise nen kompletten Systemwandel, drastische Umverteilung, um diesen finanziell zu stemmen, und ein Umdenken, was “das gute Leben für alle” (auch aus linker Weltsicht) eigentlich bedeutet, und was eins dafür wirklich braucht (und vor allem NICHT braucht...).

Aber wie erreicht eins dieses Umdenken, wenn in den beliebten Urlaubsgebieten zB nicht einmal der Gardasee mit wegen Wassermangel dystopischem Niedrigstand ein Augenöffner ist? Oder Schneemangel im Winter mit bizarren Szenarien auf schmalen, wiesengesäumten Skipisten. Ganz zu schweigen von den verheerenden Waldbränden, die im letzten Sommer (nicht nur) die europäischen Reiseziele heimsuchen.

Ich kann mir die kognitive Dissonanz, die das mehrheitliche “weiter so” ermöglicht, nur dadurch erklären, dass Medien und Politik trotz Klimachaos, von dem wir ja gerade erst die Anfänge erleben, weiter einen auf #Normalitätssimulation und Verharmlosung machen. Trotz sämtlichen wissenschaftlichen, warnenden Prognosen. Das ist dermaßen fatal und wird uns (nach 30 Jahren gezielter Desinformationskampagne der Fossillobby) weitere Zeit zum Handeln kosten...
