Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

Been helping my short 5’2" sibling get good at the bench press, so far they at 75 lbs. I got them to 135 once and really my key was putting some blocks on their feet to help them, I’d very much would love to see them bench their own body weight and honestly maybe a year or two I think they can do it.
Love to see fucking Tacticool Girlfriend celebrating the takeover of Syria for some reason, definitely not bizarre and alienating to see yet another apparent leftist transform into fucking Rumsfeld as soon as a Designated Enemy Country comes up
Hadn’t read the poem “Boots” by Rudyard Kipling until the 28 Years Later trailer (which is a very good trailer, btw) featured a performance of it.
“Boots” recorded in 1915 by the American actor Taylor Holmes (actual poem starts about 30 seconds in)
And then there’s this version, arranged to music by the Australian baritone Peter Dawson in 1929.
I could link all the recordings of this poem, but Leslie Fish’s 1985 version as a folk ballad is fun.
It’s interesting how utterly different these recitations are. And none of them really sounds like what I imagined the poem was supposed to sound like when I read it (silently) for the first time. Which is like this, a marching song, recorded by some guy on YouTube in 2011. Assuming that’s right and that’s roughly what Kipling was invoking, Holmes’s reading is especially inspired. Incredible stuff.
Also I guess when they are trying to get you to be able to resist torture by torturing you in the Armed Forces one of their tactics is to blast Holmes’s reading at you on a loop 24/7, so that’s funny.

Kevin Sorbo has to be the most perfect marriage of dumb fake sounding name to dumb mean asshole imaginable. Like if you were making him up as a character and that named popped into your head it would be
“Adhd medications are the exact same and meth and coke” is such a common take that I hate. It’s usually based on what some college dipshits experienced when they abused medications they weren’t prescribed or took a dose way too high.
My high dose of Vyvanse makes me sleepy and calm. Someone else might get fidgety and irritable if the same dose is too much for them or they don’t have adhd.
Is Luigi Mangione the sort of guy one has critical support for? Weird views but actually (in reference to a certain podcast) Did Something that was more or less good (and for a more or less good reason) instead of merking a bunch of schoolkids or shoppers or church attendees or whatever
Dont push yourself more than you need to!
Happy news everyone! “Slowpoke” isn’t a racist ableist or otherwise bigoted term!

Got started on my new pattern, but I ran into a weird problem, its not to visible on this pic
But here on these you can clearly see the way the warp is pulling apart exposing the weft. Aparently I set up my warp threads too far apart on my loom, which has nails to provide some seperation for the individual cards, but that caused it to pull apart so I couldn’t get it tight enough. Usually I have the opposite problem and its pulled to tightly leaving oddly thin areas near the start of the band.
This backlit one is a good illustration of how tablet weacing works, with the warp twisting around itself and being locked in place by the weft. You can see where one of the cards changes direction, reversing the twist of the warp causing the threads to skip one line of of the weft.
Ive since fixed it, and it looks a lot neater now, but I had to cut that length off after starting this newer one so I lost a bit of work which sucks. Itll make a good bookmark though.
My real life has been shitty af lately, so I’ve been disassociating and playing in a GTA RP server and having a lot of fun.
Anyone else feel like there literally isn’t enough time in a day to do all the things you want to
Dreamed I drank a cocktail called a Haunted Cosmonaut and now I kind of want to make it real
I vaguely remember it was fruity and carbonated
