#WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2504.25 — World Penguin Day! How have ‘the classics’ influenced your work?

One book profoundly influenced my life. It is proof why conservatives and the religious suspect higher education, especially for women, and are trying to cripple both colleges and educational institutions in general. I read this book at university. It was assigned reading in an art history class. I read it and within a year became an agnostic. I literally lost my religion, lost faith; admittedly, other factors came into play.

I had many reasons to champion women's right, but this work was clarifying. (Note I'm not using the word "seminal" for etymological reason.) If you are a feminist, or are appalled by toxic masculinity or patriarchy, you should read this. It's a well researched art history book supported by archeological evidence about the origins of patriarchy and the destruction of prior matriarchal societies in the middle east of which there are plenty of echoes in the Old Testament.

Beautiful walk up over the clifftops of Hastings Country Park. Wonderful mix of ancient woodland lined with sweet pungent wild garlic, dingly dells with ferns and rare liverworts, sandstone quarries, flowering snow-white blackthorn, indigo bluebells and deep yellow gorse, opening up to sea views across cambered meadows and natural heathland like this one with the Exmoor ponies.

And just because he was so proud - this beautiful cockerel posed. #walking #nature #wanderlust #sunday #altext

A picture of a man lying in a hospital bed, wearing a cervical collar and mask with EKG wires attached to his chest. His torso and arms are tattooed with symbols and the work "American." His hair is slightly grey and his eyes are closed.

The text reads:
On 1/6/21, six men dragged this officer down the Capitol steps. They tased him and beat him until he was unconscious. This officer suffered a heart attack and traumatic brain injury.
Trump pardoned those six men.

Pretty quiet on the mothing front last night. Almost full moon, clear and slightly cooler night meant less action (... or maybe more action if you saw my previous Sex Lives of a Cabbage Moth post! 😮 )

Just a handful in the box this morning, but these included four beauties:

1) BLACK ARCHES
2) MARBLED BEAUTY
3) MARBLED GREEN
4) DOUBLE-STRIPED PUG
