#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 vista. In the foreground is natural heathland with a yellow gorse bush to the left and an Exmoor pony picking grass to the right. The view extends and the heathland cambers right to left. Beyond is a still turquoise sea and sky horizon
A cockerel on a branch faces left. He was a bright red crest and wattle. His head and neck are white with long light feathers over a black body and a black rooster tail. He stands proud.

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

Overhead shot of a 2.5cm long moth called Black Arches. It is triangular. It has a white background with black markings. The top third has just a few black dots. There is then a thick, black, horizontal, wavy, shark-toothed edged band across the middle. A thinner wavy, shark-toothed line runs close to the bottom edge. It has two large, feathered antennae.
Overhead shot of a 0.5 centimetre moth. It is arrowhead shaped. It has a jigsaw, marbled, green effect, made up of lots of irregular shapes and bands of quite vivid light and dark green, some of the shaped edged in white.
An overhead shot of a 1cm Marbled Green moth. It is arrowhead shaped. It is very similar to the previous marbled beauty moth. However, it is slightly larger and the marbling effect is duller. It is still a jigsaw of random shapes of green creating a marbling effect.
Overhead shot of a Double-striped pug moth, about 1 centimetre wide. Its wings are such that if you imagine a burlesque or Spanish dancer with arms outstretched straight left and right, each hand holding the bottom hem of a flowing skirt, so that the skirt fans out in front. These wings are grey-brown with many thin wavy bands and lines running horizontally across. The bottom edge of the wings if fringed. The moth looks freshly pupated and clearly marked.
