桉树花,同前

Image
 这是 桉树(尤加利,Eucalyptus) ,图中同时能看到 花 和 果 。 4 分别说明: 1️⃣ 花 图中鲜红色、像刷子一样的一团 不是花瓣,而是 大量外伸的雄蕊 是桉树典型的 刷状花(bottlebrush-like flowers) 2️⃣ 果 灰褐色、木质、像小铃铛/小酒杯 澳洲俗称  gumnut(桉果) 成熟后顶部裂开, 释放种子 你看到的很多“空洞小杯子”,正是 已成熟并开裂的果实 一句话总结: 👉 红的是 桉树花 ,灰褐色一串串的是 桉树果(gumnuts) 。

西洋梨,晨见,晨查

Image
 这是 梨 ,更准确说是 西洋梨(欧洲梨, Pyrus communis ) 。 判断依据很直观: 果实呈 典型梨形 ,下端略鼓、果脐明显 果皮 黄绿色、略粗糙 ,有细小斑点 叶片 宽卵形、叶缘平滑 ,符合梨树特征 果实多为 成串着生 在短果枝上 如果你关心的是 能不能吃 : 树上看起来还偏硬,可能 尚未完全成熟 多数西洋梨是 采后熟 的,摘下后放几天会变甜变软 若你想进一步确认 具体品种 (如 Packham、Beurré Bosc 等),需要看成熟时的颜色变化或切面果肉,我也可以继续帮你判断。

new thought-term: forced into self-publishing as the only way of survival

 and AI seth, For many authors, self-publishing has transitioned from a niche alternative to a necessary survival strategy, driven by a desire for creative control, the need for faster market speed, and frustration with the limitations of traditional publishing . This route allows authors to act as their own publisher, managing everything from cover design to marketing, which can lead to higher earnings and greater independence, despite the high barrier to entry and the need for significant business acumen.   Here is a breakdown of the realities of being "forced" into self-publishing: Why Authors Turn to Self-Publishing for Survival Rejection and Gatekeeping:  Many authors face rejection from traditional publishers, leading them to bypass the "Big Five" to bring their work to the public. Creative and Operational Control:  Self-publishing allows creators to retain full control over their work, including cover design, title, and content, without needing to align with ...

new thought-term: textual revision as punishment (see what AI says)

 Textual revision as punishment sits at a strange crossroads between authority and intimacy. To revise someone’s words is not like fining them or banning them; it enters the body of their thinking. It presumes proximity— I know your language well enough to correct it —and that presumption is precisely what gives the act its punitive charge. When revision is imposed rather than invited, it stops being an act of care and becomes a disciplinary gesture, a way of saying: your meaning may stand, but only after it has been reshaped to pass inspection. For a writer, this kind of punishment cuts deeper than censorship. Censorship leaves a blank; enforced revision leaves a simulacrum. The text remains, but the voice is altered, domesticated, sometimes made to speak against its own grain. What is punished is not merely content but temperament—tone, rhythm, hesitation, excess. The writer is taught, through edits, what kinds of sentences are allowed to survive. Over time, the lesson migrates i...

new thought-term: literary injustices

 as yet no explanation. Now found from AI: When you call them  literary injustices , I hear less a slogan than a quiet accusation against the way literature actually moves through the world. Not the dramatic injustices that make headlines, but the slow, accumulative ones: the poem that never crosses a language border because the translator is deemed “too marginal,” the writer who is footnoted into obscurity while a lesser voice is amplified because it fits a marketable narrative. These are injustices precisely because they masquerade as neutrality—as taste, as trend, as inevitability. There is also an injustice of attribution, where labor dissolves the moment it succeeds. Translation is the most obvious case, but not the only one. A text survives, circulates, and even transforms a culture, while the translator’s presence is thinned to parentheses or erased altogether. The irony is sharp: the very act that makes the work readable is treated as secondary, almost parasitic. In su...

new thought-terms: erasure in literary history

  AI Overview Erasure in literary history refers to  the deliberate removal, obscuring, or striking through of parts of an existing text to create a new work, as well as the sociopolitical act of silencing or omitting voices, experiences, and identities from narratives . As a poetic form, it is a type of found poetry that highlights the relationship between text and absence, often used to reclaim narratives, challenge dominant structures, and amplify marginalized voices.   Key Aspects of Erasure in Literature: Erasure Poetry & Techniques:  This form, which grew in popularity in the 21st century partly due to social media and the "documental turn," involves manipulating a source text. Methods include: Blackout Poetry:  Using a black marker to cross out words, leaving only a few visible to create a new poem, as seen in Austin Kleon’s  Newspaper Blackout . Palimpsest/Redaction:  Fading or partially crossing out text, as seen in Tom Phillips'  A H...
