From Parklane Landscapes

Shifting Baseline Syndrome (SBS) is what happens when we forget how vibrant the natural world used to be. Each generation grows up with a more depleted environment and calls it "normal," simply because it's all they've ever known.

Think about walking through a park and thinking, "This seems healthy." But maybe 30 years ago that same park had twice as many birds, wildflowers, or insects. If you never saw that version, you don't feel the loss - and that quiet forgetting becomes the new baseline. Over time, we start accepting degraded ecosystems as normal.

Researchers warn that this shift lowers our expectations, increases our tolerance for decline, and reduces our urgency to protect what's left.

What helps:

Intergenerational conversations that reconnect us with what nature used to be.

Direct experiences with nature that sharpen our awareness of change.

Remembering (knowing) the past is the first step to restoring the future.

Not a sponsor, I don't think it's an AI graphic, and I think it has something important to say. Plus it does have an owl. We can't save our animals if we don't save them the spaces they need to thrive.

Not OC, duh.

I bought it because I liked how it looks. It's ok to ride too, weighing only slightly more than Portugal. Needs a bit of tlc.

Hey there,

A few months ago we open sourced Voiden, an offline API client we originally built to replace Postman internally.

Voiden now has around 11k installs and growing every day. ❤️

Core principles we built it on:

• free and local-first
• file-based, all plain executable markdown
• composable through blocks
• collaboration in Git, where devs are working already

The main thing is that in Voiden, API requests are not (static) forms. They are built from blocks (endpoint, auth, params, body) that can be used, reused, replaced and version in Git, just like code. And all that in plain executable text.

Our inspiration:

Our inspiration was curl, and how simple it is, and obsidian, because of how powerful it can be.

Who this is for:

Developers, QA, Technical Writers working and collaborating on APIs.

Progress:

Since open sourcing, almost everything that we shipped came from actual users, feedback and contributions that pushed the tool in a few interesting directions. You can check our change-log here: https://voiden.md/changelog

A few highlights:

• Composable API workflows: Voiden lets you build reusable .void files that can be combined into flows, run multiple requests in sequence, and use real scripting (JS/Python/Shell) before and after requests.
• Added a “skills” layer so tools like Claude/Codex can operate directly on .void files and request blocks.
• We added an SDK for community plugins.
• & more...

Feedback:

This project is now mostly shaped and driven by community ideas and contributions. Welcome to join and help us make this even more awesome.

There is no account setup, its free and totally offline.

French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet created the first-ever simulation of a black hole, published in Astronomy and Astrophysics. Using an IBM 7040 computer and hand-plotting techniques with India ink, he calculated how light from an accretion disk would be distorted by gravity, producing a "distorted eye" image remarkably similar to modern direct imaging

Some place cheep!

The Zillow listing said "cozy cavity". The Eastern Screech Owl said "perfect". The Barred Owl said "we need to talk."

First Northern Hawk Owl sighting. It finally happened after a year of dreaming about them heavily. A short encounter, but it felt like my dreams came true! 😍

From Haringsee Owl and Bird of Prey Station

Since April, the calls of the small Eurasian Scops Owl can once again be heard in southern Austria. Some of you may recognize the monosyllabic deep whistling sound from holidays in the Mediterranean region. There, the call of the Scops Owl is part of the typical soundscape of a warm summer night.

Eurasian Scops Owls, along with the Eurasian Pygmy Owl, are the smallest owls in Europe and spend the winter primarily in Africa. You can find more information about these beautiful owls on our website.

I sometimes try to capture wild life that is different than the ordinary. Very close to sunset I captured this photo of this little Great Horned Owlet that seems to be letting Mom and Dad know that it's hungry.
