Alături de 🎾#AnaBogdan, 🎾#Halep va întâlni perechea Emily Appleton (🇬🇧#RegatulUnit) – Qianhui Tang (🇨🇳#China). -
Simona Kossak (1943–2007) was a Polish scientist, ecologist and environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting the Białowieża Primeval Forest, the oldest forest in Europe. She was an extraordinary and fascinating personality, known for her close connection to nature and animals.
The locals often called her a "witch" because she lived in the seclusion of the forest and seemed to have a special relationship with the animals. Her pet "terror crow" was known for stealing gold and attacking cyclists - an anecdote that is often told. She lived in her small wooden hut, which had neither electricity nor running water, for over 30 years. A lynx occasionally slept in her bed, and a tame wild boar shared her home.

From "This Day in History" on FB:
"She left civilization to live in the forest with a lynx, a wild boar, and a thieving crow. Scientists called her crazy. She proved them wrong.
In 1975, a young Polish scientist named #SimonaKossak made a decision that baffled everyone who knew her.
She had a doctorate. She had credentials. She came from one of Poland's most prestigious artistic families—her grandfather was Wojciech Kossak, the legendary painter whose work hung in museums.
She could have had a comfortable university position. A modern apartment in Warsaw. A conventional career studying nature from a safe distance.
Instead, Simona packed a single bag and walked into the #bialowiezaforest . And she stayed there for thirty years.Białowieża is no ordinary forest. It's the last remaining fragment of the primeval wilderness that once covered all of Europe—ancient, untouched, older than recorded history. Trees there grow so tall they seem to hold up the sky. Wolves still howl at night. European bison, extinct almost everywhere else, roam freely. It's the kind of place where you can still hear what the world sounded like before humans started building cities.
Simona found a small wooden cabin deep in the forest's heart. No electricity. No running water. No neighbors for miles.
Just trees. Silence. And the wild things.
Most people would have lasted a week.Simona lasted decades.
But she wasn't alone.
She shared her bed with a lynx named Żabka. Not a pet—lynxes can't be pets. But Żabka had been orphaned as a cub, and Simona raised her. The massive cat would curl up beside her at night, purring like distant thunder.
She rescued a wild boar named Żabka who followed her through the forest like a devoted dog, grunting softly when she spoke.
And then there was Korasek. Korasek was a crow—but not just any crow. He was brilliant, mischievous, and absolutely devoted to chaos. He'd dive-bomb cyclists riding through the forest, steal shiny objects from tourists' pockets, and bring Simona "gifts": coins, buttons, pieces of foil.
He'd sit on her shoulder while she worked, cawing commentary on everything she did.
The locals whispered that Simona was a witch. How else could you explain it? Animals followed her. Birds landed on her outstretched hand. Deer approached without fear.
She spoke to them, and somehow, impossibly, they seemed to understand.
But Simona wasn't casting spells.
She was listening.Most people walk through nature talking, making noise, asserting their presence. Simona did the opposite. She learned to move quietly, to observe patiently, to let the forest teach her its rhythms.
She studied animal behavior not from textbooks, but by living among them. She documented species that had never been properly observed. She proved that wild animals weren't just instinct-driven automatons—they had personalities, emotions, complex social structures.
Her research changed how scientists understood wildlife.But her most important work wasn't in journals.
It was in the forest itself.
Because while Simona was studying nature, others were trying to destroy it.
#LoggingCompanies wanted to cut down the #AncientTrees. Developers wanted to build roads through the #wilderness.Bureaucrats argued that the forest was "too wild," that it needed to be "managed," controlled, made productive.
Simona fought them all.
She wrote letters. She filed lawsuits. She gave interviews where she spoke bluntly about what would be lost if the forest fell.
She stood in front of bulldozers.
She made powerful enemies.
She didn't care."This forest has survived for ten thousand years," she'd say. "Who are we to decide it should end on our watch?"
Her cabin became a symbol. Journalists came from across Europe to photograph the woman who lived with wild animals. Documentaries were made. Her story spread.
And slowly, the tide began to turn.
Public opinion shifted. International pressure mounted. UNESCO got involved. The ancient forest, in large part because of Simona's tireless advocacy, gained greater protections.The trees she loved were saved.
Simona Kossak lived in that cabin until 2007, when illness finally forced her back to the city. She died in 2007, at the age of 71.But her legacy didn't die with her.
Today, Białowieża Forest stands as one of Europe's last true wildernesses—a living monument to what the continent once was. Tourists walk trails where Simona once walked with Żabka the lynx. Bison graze in meadows she fought to protect.Scientists still study the forest using methods she pioneered.
And somewhere in those ancient trees, maybe, a descendant of Korasek steals something shiny from an unsuspecting hiker.
Simona Kossak proved something the modern world desperately needs to remember:
That you don't have to choose between science and intuition. Between civilization and wilderness. Between being human and being part of nature.
She proved that sometimes the most rigorous science comes from simply paying attention. That the deepest understanding comes from respect, not dominance.
She proved that one person, living authentically and fighting fiercely for what they love, can change the fate of an entire ecosystem.
They called her a witch because she spoke to animals.
She called herself a scientist because she listened.
And she spent thirty years in a cabin without electricity, surrounded by wild things, protecting an ancient forest from a modern world that had forgotten how to be still.
Simona Kossak wasn't running away from civilization.
She was protecting something far more valuable than anything civilization could offer.
And because of her, that forest still stands."

I needed a Friday song to fold laundry by (glamorous, I know), and dialed up a song that always gets cranked up when it comes on the radio. It’s great for singing along and just drowning in the thundering horns. From 1969, Simon & Garfunkel’s “Keep the Customer Satisfied.”

@silouanwinter wir sind in einer ähnlichen Situation (ohne eigene Wallbox) und dokumentieren mit ersten Tipps ab hier:
https://freiburg.social/@stevE/114575925889618100Kurz vorab:
Am einfachsten, wenn der Preis keine große Rolle spielt und es um DC-Schnellladen geht, scheint die Karte von ewe-go. Mit der kostet es an den sehr vielen fremd/Roaming-Stationen generell 62c/kWh. Von denen gibt's wirklich sehr viele und lassen sich in EVMap als Filter anlegen.Bei der Ladekarte der SWMünchen gibt's auch sehr viele Säulen und ist auch überall der Preis gleich (AC 49c) und deren Ladeverbund-Link habe ich mir einfach als Brave-Lesezeichen auf den Startbildschirm gelegt:
https://mobile-energie.swm.de/index.phpBei DC günstiger sind die "ad-hoc-Ladesäulen" (einfach direkt mit eigener Kreditkarte zahlen) auf dieser Karte:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1L-gatZq7W4lZzdrfLLAK3AVUoc8lKNo&femb=1&ll=54.165686660004766%2C9.941277981965024&z=8
...oder direkt die Karte von Aldi Süd usw...
(Für ohne Google schicke ich einen ähnlichen Filter für EVMap gerne bei Interesse.)Für uns ist das bisher die beste Mischung aus "einfach", "günstig" und "Datenschutz".
(EVMap fragt auch die Preise von chargeprice ab und freut sich dafür über Spenden. Mehr zum Datenschutz und weiteres auch im oben verlinkten Tröt-Faden.)

Australian Silo Art Trailhttps://www.australiansiloarttrail.com/
Throughout Australia It has become popular to repurpose silos. These art works are absolutely awesome.
The mural concept, titled ‘When the Rain Comes’, portrays a young boy playing and cooling off in the Yelarbon Lagoon. In his hand, he holds a paper boat, destined to sail across the Yelarbon Lagoon, depicted along and over the shorter six silos.#siloart #australia #QLD #queensland #Yelarbon #dustytravelsoz -

Down in Quirindi today.
They have some great silo art. It's part of a trail thru the area that has silos covered in all sorts of stuff.

Melbourne street artist Cam Scale painted the silos in Devenish, Victoria. The paintings feature military medical personnel including a modern depiction #SiloArt #RoadTrip #StreetArt

@silouanwinter die Systeme werden separat betrachtet. Die Dachanalge wird, bzw. muss von einem Elektriker angeschlossen und angemeldet werden. Das BKW kannst du ohne irgendeine Fachkraft selbst installieren. Du kannst die zwei Anlagen unabhängig von einander betrachten. Mach dir keine Sorgen. Es ist technisch kein Problem. Wirtschaftlich ist es jedenfalls Sinnvoll wenn das BKW einigermassen Licht abbekommt.
PS: ich habe auch ein BKW (1.2 kWp #guerillapv) und eine Dachanalge (14.5 kWp). -

Era 1981 y era Central Park.
Y un desgarrado Art Garfunkel interpretó una canción que no había escrito él pero que siempre fue suya y que hablaba de amistad y apoyo en los peores momentos.
Quizás lo que necesitaba.
Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, Bridge over troubled water.
