More than 250 years before Pantone, an artist documented every imaginable color in a 900-page book. In 1692, A. Boogert wrote a Dutch book about mixing watercolors and how to create specific hues by adding water.

@Hublot Pourquoi toujours copier l’esthétique des autres marques ?

@stacygadawg My thoughts are with you. As a pet “owner” we have to take and bear this decision. It’s heart wrenching but a last gift of love to them. Been there too. Big hugs

Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.

J’aimerais qu’on s’arrête 5 mn sur ça. Imaginez : vous payez 50 balles et, soudain, vous voilà “sophrologue”(ou autre bullshit)
Vous ouvrez votre cabinet dans un centre de santé.
Et là, des patients atteints de maladies graves, avec des symptômes lourds, commencent à affluer.

[Dr. M.F. Khan @Dr_TheHistories]

In 1967, at age 51, Dick Proenneke quit his job, built a cabin by hand on Alaska’s Twin Lakes, and lived there alone for 30 years, with no running water or electricity. He braved brutal winters, stored food underground, and left behind more than 250 diaries and films documenting his journey.

Proenneke made a decision that few would dare. At the age of 51, he left behind modern life to build a new one from scratch in the wilds of Alaska. On the shores of Twin Lakes, surrounded by untouched wilderness, Proenneke constructed a log cabin entirely by hand, using simple tools, ingenuity, and the patience of a craftsman.

He spent the next three decades living completely off the land, without running water, electricity, or human company. His days were filled with chopping wood, fishing, tracking wildlife, and documenting the rhythms of nature with meticulous detail. Through his journals and 16mm film footage, he captured a life defined not by isolation, but by quiet purpose and harmony with the land.

Each season tested his endurance, winters brought temperatures below −40°F, while summers demanded relentless labor to prepare for the cold ahead. Yet through it all, Proenneke found peace in simplicity and meaning in self-reliance.

When he finally left Twin Lakes in 1998 at age 82, he left behind not just a cabin, but a testament to the human spirit’s capacity for independence and balance with nature.

Proenneke’s cabin still stands today as part of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. It remains one of the best-preserved examples of a handmade wilderness homestead and continues to inspire those seeking a slower, more intentional way of living.

Artificial intelligence is becoming better than humans at scanning animals’ faces for signs of stress and pain. Are more complex emotions next?
