The Ritman Library has digitized 2,178 rare Occult books and made them available in their online reading room.

“Nature connectedness is now accepted as a key root cause of the environmental crisis,” Richardson told Guardian journalist Patrick Barkham. “It’s vitally important for our own mental health as well. It unites people and nature’s wellbeing. There’s a need for transformational change if we’re going to change society’s relationship with nature."

Explorers have discovered the world’s deepest shipwreck, lying 6,895 meters (22,621 feet) beneath the Philippine Sea.

Back in 2016, deep inside a Canadian mine, geologists stumbled upon something extraordinary. At nearly 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) below the surface, they found water that had been sealed away for up to 2.64 billion years, the oldest known water on Earth.

That’s right – in the town of St Paul in Northern Alberta lies the world’s first ever UFO landing pad. The idea came about as part of Canada’s centennial celebrations, and once approved by the government, saw the construction of a large platform sat atop six 75-centimeter (30-inch)-tall concrete pylons. The platform is circular, of course, because all UFOs are flying saucer-shaped, right?

The disgustingly educated are not “know-it-alls.” They’re “want-to-know-it-alls.” They collect questions like souvenirs and chase answers like lovers. Google should be tired of you.

I may have broken my website somehow so I’m not sure when today’s post will be going up. If you’re reading this the good news is my website isn’t all broken. Just partly broken.

I worked on Project Midnight last night. The writing itself is terrible and I’m unlikely to keep any of it, but I did gain some clarity.

Mostly, I realized that:

Zoara = Azure
Alyra = Aeryn

I intended for this to be a prequel to a story I started twenty years ago, but I think I’ve come upon the missing pieces of what I was originally trying to create in the first place.

What if this isn’t meant to be a prequel at all? What if Project Midnight has been Rayne all along? Once I started thinking of it that way a lot of plot points I’d been struggling with started to make sense. And I think – I think – I’ve got this now.

Checking out Kite, which is Kagi’s news aggregator. Very simple and easy to set up. You can keep an eye on the news you’re interested in without being overwhelmed by it. Very cool. You can even add it as an RSS feed.

I managed to make enough gold in MoP classic to buy myself a WoW Token. Way easier to make 11K in classic than 300K in retail right now, though I guess it’ll depend how many people keep playing classic. I also played a bit of the new retail patch, but I think I’m having more fun questing through MoP.

I’ll likely return to New World before the October content drop. But for now I’m having fun being zen in Pandaria.
