CW: Potential spoilers for Doctor Who episode "Planet of the Ood"
#PlanetOfTheOod is a great #DrWho story.
Part social commentary on slavery, part horror movie, it's also a very effective transitional episode for Donna who develops beyond the mouthy comic relief introduced two Christmas specials ago.
I remember being sceptical about Catherine Tate's return, and whilst the first two episodes of her series hadn't convinced me, this one completed her metamorphosis into a fully three dimensional character with compassion and intelligence that complemented rather than replaced the comedy aspect without jarring too hard against the Donna we'd encountered so far.
Tate and Tennant bounce off each other in a way which is fun and natural, and without out any of the "will they, won't they" suggestions of romance and snogginess that was close to becoming a trope at the time. Planet of the Ood follows on well from the previous episode, Fires of Pompeii, even though it may feel surprising to have two fairly deep episodes one after the other, with this one turning things darker too.
Donna Noble ended up working so surprisingly well as a character, even though she only stayed for a season, that Catherine Tate seems to have paved the way for an arguably ill-advised trend for bringing British comedians into the TARDIS that would kick off three Doctors later.
It's worth mentioning that Planet of the Ood also does a good job of developing the titular "monster", with the Ood having been introduced in the previous season's The Impossible Planet. It's not a given that the return of a race in Doctor Who leads to great stories (ref: the Weeping Angels).

"While not everyone knows the axolotl, it is loved by all who know it. This adorable amphibian is a type of salamander that never undergoes metamorphosis. Therefore, this animal remains fully aquatic. They are popular among people for their cute faces that always appear to be smiling. However, there is something that we should not be smiling about. The beloved axolotls are on the brink of extinction. These beloved animals are critically endangered, and now experts are wondering if there is hope for them and their species.
Axolotls already had the odds stacked against them due to their limited habitat space. According to Conservation International, this amphibian can only be found in 'an ancient wetland system of islands and canals in Mexico City.' Having only a small place for existence has already placed this beloved creature behind other species. Then, add in habitat loss and pollution, and these little guys don't stand a chance. Not to mention the introduction of invasive fish that prey on the axolotl as well. The majority of the factors against this amphibian are human-driven. Urban expansion slowly takes over their natural habitat.
Additionally, the pollution from wastewater and agricultural seepage into their habitats degrades their water quality. This then reduces their ability to see as well as some of their sensory skills. Also, climate change leads to higher water temperatures, which can impair their reproduction and growth rates. Not to mention that rising temperatures also increase the risk, frequency, and severity of droughts, which in turn reduce their freshwater habitats. With all of these odds stacked against them, it is no wonder that axolotls are on the brink of extinction.
With daunting news like that, it is easy to assume that the axolotl's future is bleak. However, new evidence suggests that there may be a shred of hope for this adorable amphibian.
Conservation International shares that researchers are now using 'traditional fishing nets as well as environmental DNA (eDNA) to track the presence of the notoriously elusive amphibian.' With this new tracking, the Ecological Restoration Laboratory of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), with support from Conservation International-Mexico, is successfully 'covering 115 monitoring sites across the 2,500-hectare (6,180-acre) Xochimilco Protected Area.'
Although they have not yet successfully captured an axolotl, eDNA testing has revealed that axolotls are still present in the canal, which is promising. While their numbers are just a fraction of what they used to be, researchers are optimistic that the negative impacts can be reversed. The wetlands that the axolotls call home have been greatly affected by the overuse of pesticides in modern farming. In addition to invasive species such as carp and tilapia, which are axolotls' main predators. Luckily, local farmers and researchers have teamed up to reverse the trend."

Moth Not Caterpillar
#FanFiction #AliceInWonderLand #Chiitan🌈ちぃたん☆
#Wss366 Flower #Hanamatsuri #BuddhasBirthdayIt was raining #flowers when Alice reentered the clearing. A second mushroom, a stinkhorn, has sprung up. Atop the stinkhorn was a pot covered with fine, hair-like moss, and from it grew a thistle. But what caught Alice’s eye was a huge Japanese luna moth hovering where the Caterpillar had once been.
“Excuse me, Moth. Were you once Caterpillar?” Alice asked.
She couldn’t hear the reply over the thistle's screeching: “It is still a caterpillar! As you once were, you shall always be.”
The girl looked between them. “What is the thistle thinking?" she thought to herself. "It’s obviously a moth.”
Thistle continued, “I shall speak to the Red Queen, and we’ll have its wings off in an instant. It must be banned from the garden.”
Moth continued to float, unperturbed. Its wings fluttered as they slowly dried from its metamorphosis.
“Doesn’t it bother you, Moth dear, that she says such awful things?” Alice asked.
“It is all maya, illusion,” Enlightened Moth said. “I am and have always been as you see me now, yet I have never been as I seem. Substance is nothing, and nothing is substance.”
“Lies, all lies! Rip off its wings!” Thistle screamed.
Alice shook her head. "It's very cruel to pull the wings off a moth or a butterfly."
The moth floated higher in the air. “I have transcended earthly attachments. Until all creatures are enlightened, I bid you farewell. But look, my master #Chiitan🌈ちぃたん☆ approaches. They will guide you to the tea party.”
Alice turned to look as the baby otter fairy took a pratfall.
“Let me help you up,” she said, running forward.
Delighted to see Alice, the fairy bounced and danced after getting to their feet.
With one last glance at the Hateful Thistle, they left the screeching behind.

Metamorphosis (t)
Ben the caterpillar has been chomping on passion vine leaves for a while now. His jaws are sore. He's full. He's big. He is going through the last stages of becoming a chrysalis and takes one last look skyward before being completely encased.

Impermanence, 2018
A permanent birch plywood installation at Fortaleza de Sagres. Impermanence explores solidity and transformation, tracing a cube’s metamorphosis into a bird—earth to ephemeral freedom. Inspired by Sagres, where land meets sea and sky, the forms spiral upward, symbolizing the pull toward the unknown.

Sabine Meyer, Berliner Philharmoniker, Claudio Abbado – Mozart / Debussy / Takemitsu (1999, Germany)
Our next spotlight is on number 741 on The List, submitted by t4s.
This album consists of five pieces spanning 200 years, performed by German classical solo clarinettist Sabine Meyer and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Claudio Abbado: 18th century Salzburgian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto (Klarinettenkonzert) in A major (K. 622); late 19th/early 20th century French composer Claude Debussy’s First Rhapsody (Première Rhapsodie; L. 116a); and, from mid-late 20th-century Japanese avant-garde composer Tōru Takemitsu (武満 徹), his Fantasma/Cantos (ファンタズマ/カントス). Because I unfortunately am a philistine when it comes to classical music, below I quote directly from the liner notes of this album, written by by English musicologist Richard Langham Smith.
I’m quite grateful for the inclusion of Takemitsu on this album – he seems to have been a rather fascinating character, and I’ve been digging into his works since getting this spotlight ready. If you’re not already familiar, I’d recommend doing the same!
On Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto (tracks 1 to 3):
The Clarinet Concerto was Mozart’s last orchestral work, completed in October of 1791, just two months before is death. It was written for his friend Anton Stadler, whose specialty was the basset-horn, a type of clarinet with an extended range a major third lower than the standard instrument…
The work is rightly considered a masterpiece: it has that hymnic maturity of the the composer’s late works…The composer delights in the exploration of sonorities, not only contrasting the different registers of the clarinet, with notable passages for the low ‘chalumeau’ register, but also using a reduced orchestra which omits the oboes, the more to highlight the reedy voice of the soloist.
…the first and second movements have darker passages which wander into unpredictable keys and exploit the slightly sinister qualities of the clarinet’s lowest register…The Rondo form of the final movement, with its jolly rhythmic theme, conceals hidden depths: against the episodes sometimes stray into deeper waters.
On Debussy’s First Rhapsody (track 4):
Debussy’s Clarinet Rhapsody was first written as…a competition piece for conservatoire students, with piano accompaniment…it was started in December 1909 and completed the following month.
Those who know Debussy’s piece in the version with piano will have an extra dimension of enjoyment added as they hear Debussy’s thoroughly pianistic sonorities transformed, rather than transcribed. Its piano accompaniment, often reliant on a cloud of resonance created by the sustaining pedal, here takes on quite a different character.
Maybe the piece ranks more among those pieces whose impetus was external rather than stemming from a burning artistic idea, but if it is a pot-boiler then it is none the worse for it…Why it was entitled the ‘first’ rhapsody is a matter of surmise: there is no sequel.
On Takemitsu’s Fantasma/Cantos (track 5):
[Toru Takemitsu] has come to be recognised as a major figure: perhaps best described as a voice of the East who expresses himself with the language and instruments of the West…he was largely self-taught, and if he may be allied to a French rather than a Germanic tradition it is perhaps because of his highlighting of timbre – and even silence – as a major component of his musical expression.
First performed in 1991, Fantasma/Cantos was commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation…The orchestra is large and includes a large percussion section including tuned percussion and Thai or Indonesian gongs. Takemitsu himself has explained the relevance of the title: “…’Fantasma’ (fantasy) and ‘Cantos’ (song) – are synonymous. After a brief introduction, a clear melody line, as a result of colourful orchestral figuration, ambiguously undergoes metamorphosis. The structure of the work is influenced by Japanese landscape gardens in the ‘go-round’ style. You walk along the path, stopping here and there to contemplate, and eventually find yourself back where you started from. Yet it is no longer the same starting point.”

Goethe’s palm at Orto Botanico di Padova.
The University of Padua Botanical Garden is the oldest one in the world, established in 1545. This palm is its oldest surviving plant, dating back to 1585. It inspired Goethe to develop his ideas about plant metamorphosis during his visit to Italy in 1787.

"Rose with Metamorphosis of Leaf Roller and a Glued Beetle Larva," Maria Sibylla Merion, after 1679.
Merian (1647-1717) was a German entomologist, naturalist, and scientific illustrator. She was one of the first European naturalists to document insect life from direct observation. The daughter of a Swiss engraver and publisher, she collected insects as a child and published her first collection of illustrations in 1675. She published a two-volume work on caterpillars, from which this image is taken. And that's an actual dried beetle larva glued to the main flower; she did that with a number of her illustrations but most have fallen off long ago.
She traveled to South American and observed insect life there, also publishing her findings to great acclaim.
Her direct observations of the metamorphic process were an enormous influence on the scientific world; David Attenborough calls her one of the most significant contributors to the field of entomology.
From the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.

Daisy the Great - The Rubber Teeth Talk
Origin: Brooklyn
#TastingNotes: Mazzy Star, Veruca Salt, Tegan and SaraOn their third full length, the duo of Mina and Kelley complete their inevitable metamorphosis from precious low-fi indie goofballs to 90s MTV alternative rockers. The clever word play and close-sung harmonic curveballs are still here, but it's clear they're not writing for their bedroom or alternative theatre spaces: this is a proper rock record.
Lead single Ballerina was a statement; a 90s fuzzed out rocker ready to be talked over by Beavis and Butthead. Fully half the record follows this model: the guitars are louder, the choruses bigger, the production intentionally rough and unfinished. The more relaxed moments lean into surrealist lyrics inspired by literal and figurative dreams; Swinging began as hallucinations from an overdose of laughing gas.
I wake up at 4AM these days, I've got lot on my mind
Like what's the point of a body if I'll never be a ballerina?My favourite track is Lady Exhausted, with its surrealist imagery, unpredictable structure and metric modulations; it sounds as much like The Else-era TMBG as anyone. It's mostly an indie-disco romp except when the tempo screeches to a halt for a bit of psychadelic droning, before climaxing in a full choir of overdubbed vocals repeating the refrain:
Please somebody tell somebody what's going on
The days of the months of the years are all goneI have written before that I miss the unfiltered too-clever rawness of their earliest work, and I do, but The Rubber Teeth Talk is a fine record and more successful than their sophomore record from 2022.
Here's Ballerina; you can find the album on Qobuz, but maddeningly not Bandcamp.

“poetry after barbarism”, by jennifer scappettone
“In Poetry After Barbarism, Jennifer Scappettone argues for nomadic, miscegenated, ‘xenoglossic’ poetries as fierce forms of linguistic and political resistance. Prodigiously researched cross-cultural readings celebrate a stellar constellation of consequential poets: Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Emilio Villa, Amelia Rosselli, Etel Adnan, and LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs.”
— Charles Bernstein, author of The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays and Comedies
- In this book, Jennifer Scappettone argues that the poetry of motherless tongues is the best form of resistance to the rising tide of nationalism, empire, fascism, and authoritarianism.
- Studying experiments between languages by immigrant, refugee, and otherwise stateless authors—from Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven to Emilio Villa, Amelia Rosselli, Etel Adnan, LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, Chika Sagawa, and Sawako Nakayasu—this book explores how poetry can both represent and jumpstart metamorphosis of the shape and sound of citizenship; and it
- untethers identity from territory in favor of a translingual proposition—that tumult’s time is now.
Jennifer Scappettone is a professor of literature, creative writing, gender studies, and environmental humanities at the University of Chicago. She is the author of Killing the Moonlight: Modernism in Venice (Columbia, 2014) and the cross-genre verse books From Dame Quickly and The Republic of Exit 43. She is also the translator of Locomotrix: Selected Poetry and Prose of Amelia Rosselli.
You can find more information about the book at the Columbia University Press website:
Against a backdrop of xenophobic and ethnonationalist fantasies of linguistic purity, Poetry After Barbarism uncovers a stateless, polyglot poetry of resistance—the poetry of motherless tongues. Departing from the national and global paradigms that dominate literary history, Jennifer Scappettone traces the aesthetic and geopolitical resonance of “xenoglossic” poetics: poetry composed in the space of contestation between national languages, concretizing dreams of mending the ruptures traced to the story of Babel. As global migration, aerial bombardment, and the wireless telegraph shrank distances with brute force during the twentieth century, visions of transcultural communication emerged in the hopes of bridging linguistic difference. At the same time, evolving Fascist ideologies denied the reality of cultural admixture and the humanity of the stranger.
Authors who write xenoglossic verse occupy languages without a perceived birthright or sanctioned education; they compose in ecstatic “orphan tongues” that rebuff nationalist ideologies, on the one hand, and globalization, on the other, uprooting notions of belonging ensconced in nativist metaphors of milk, blood, and soil while rendering the reactionary category of the barbarian obsolete. Raised within or in the wake of fascism, these poets practice strategic forms of literary and linguistic barbarism, proposing modes of collectivity that exceed geopolitical definitions. Studying experiments between languages by immigrant, refugee, and otherwise stateless authors—from Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven to Emilio Villa, Amelia Rosselli, Etel Adnan, LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, Chika Sagawa, and Sawako Nakayasu—this book explores how poetry can both represent and jumpstart metamorphosis of the shape and sound of citizenship, modeling paths toward alternative republics in which poetry might assume a central agency.

Today in Emergence: life cycles! Structures and units will transform from one form to another, based on elapsed time, number of recipes completed, environmental conditions, the season, drought stress...
Little #gamedev prototype in #bevy is working great: even a simple seed -> seedling -> adult plant form is cool.
I can't wait to start using this for insectoid metamorphosis, hatching eggs, plants entering dormancy in drought or during winters, flowering...
It's a really powerful and expressive mechanic, and I'm really keen to see how it works as we creep closer to a proper #factorybuilder.

This is day 8 of #BetterStories, a Mastodon crash course on #Storytelling
Let's work on openings
Ever heard: "open with a blast!"? Let's try something different: open with "a change"
A change, or a hint that something will change, captures our attention
Kafka's Metamorphosis does it in the first line
"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect"
The change breaks the balance, creates tension, and starts the story
