The first half of the twentieth century saw the rise of black and white film media, and it is likely that the emergence of the view that dreams are black and white was connected with this change in media technology. If our opinions about basic features of our dreams can change with changes in technology, it seems to follow that our knowledge of the phenomenology of our own dreams is much less secure than we might at first have thought it to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/apr/06/why-humans-see-faces-everyday-objects&quot;&gt;They&amp;rsquo;re in clouds, electric sockets and even on toast.

  <title>Sunday Links: Imposters (Fiction and Real Life)</title>
  <link>https://snowynight.dreamwidth.org/279890.html</link>
  <description>I have just finished &amp;quot;Illicit&amp;quot;, and want to make a list about fictional and real life imposters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;True Case:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Guerre&quot;&gt;The Case of Martin Guerre&lt;/a&gt;: In 1548, Martin Guerre left his wife and children abruptly. Several years later, a man claiming to be him appeared. He lived with Guerre&apos;s wife and son for three years. The false Martin Guerre was eventually suspected of the impersonation. He was tried, discovered to be a man named Arnaud du Tilh and executed. The real Martin Guerre had returned during the trial. How much Guerre&apos;s wife Bertrande de Rols is duped or complicit remains a matter of controversy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Wilson_(impostor)&quot;&gt;Sarah Wilson  (1745? &amp;ndash; 1780)&lt;/a&gt; was an English impostor who traveled to America as a convict servant and pretended to be British royalty. As a teenager, she began her career of &amp;quot;wandering around England &amp;ldquo;imposing on the compassion and credulity of different persons in town and country&amp;quot;. In 1768, She was sentenced to penal transportation to the American colonies then and sold as a convict maid. She escaped and started to travel through Virginia and the Carolina as Queen Charlotte&amp;rsquo;s sister, and successfully maintained her royal pretension to her death. Interestingly, there was wide spread legend of her as a former maid of the Queen&apos;s maid after her death. Perhaps it was more scandalous to imagine a mere working class girl successfully fooling the powerful and high class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Review of Books about Sarah Wilson: &lt;a href=&quot;https://historicalnovelsociety.org/reviews/the-impostress-the-dishonest-adventures-of-sarah-wilson/&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Impostress: The Dishonest Adventures of Sarah Wilson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Frank_Dalton&quot;&gt;J. Frank Dalton (1848-1951)&lt;/a&gt;: an American impostor who claims to be two long-dead famous Western historical figures, lawman Frank Dalton and outlaw Jesse James. First he claimed to be&amp;nbsp; Frank Dalton from 1930s. Confronted with compelling evidence that he wasn&apos;t, he switched the gear and claimed to be Jesse James instead&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fiction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/133106e7-b6e2-4e88-bd0a-97fa00bd6b41&quot;&gt;Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;quot;&lt;span class=&quot;Formatted&quot;&gt;In this tale of mystery and suspense, a stranger  enters the inner sanctum of the Ashby family posing as Patrick Ashby,  the heir to the family&apos;s sizable fortune. The stranger, Brat Farrar, has  been carefully coached on Patrick&apos;s mannerism&apos;s, appearance, and every  significant detail of Patrick&apos;s early life, up to his thirteenth year  when he disappeared and was thought to have drowned himself. It seems as  if Brat is going to pull off this most incredible deception until old  secrets emerge that jeopardize the imposter&apos;s plan and his life.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s a classic. I love finding out the mystery along with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Formatted&quot;&gt;Brat Farrar buried in his lie and pretense. One reasons I&apos;m really into identity issues and pretense in fiction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Formatted&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/98d1586e-c1a1-47c7-98d4-b59cf4e19d65&quot;&gt;Illicit (The Wrong Alpha #3) &lt;/a&gt;by Alessandra Hazard: &amp;quot;The last time Liam Blake saw his eldest brother, Anthony was sixteen and Liam was five. Liam barely remembers him. He remembers adoring his big brother and remembers missing him, but his childhood memories faded as he grew up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fifteen years later, a man who calls himself Anthony Blake finally comes home after the war ends. He has documents that prove his identity, and he has Liam&amp;rsquo;s brother&amp;rsquo;s dark hair, blue eyes, and broad shoulders. There&amp;rsquo;s no reason to think he isn&amp;rsquo;t who he says he is&amp;mdash;except for Liam&amp;rsquo;s strange, inexplicable attraction to the man who claims to be Anthony. &amp;quot; (M/M omegaverse)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like how realistic the characters feeling are. Lian&apos;s full of guilt and shame. When Lian&apos;s brother find out their relationship, he&apos;s very WTF about it. This detail make it real to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=snowynight&amp;ditemid=279890&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Happy Almond Day: Links about nuts</title>
  <link>https://snowynight.dreamwidth.org/254671.html</link>

But wild almonds helped us out &amp;mdash; and now we know just how they went from deadly to delicious. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sciencenews.org/article/almond-joy-stone-age-style-our-ancestors-had-bash-eating-wild-nuts&quot;&gt;Almond Joy, Stone Age Style: Our ancestors had a bash eating wild nuts&lt;/a&gt;: Around 780,000 years ago, human ancestors living along a lakeshore in what is now northern Israel ate a varied diet. It included fat- and protein-rich almonds, pistachios, and other hard-shelled nuts, according to a new report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Walnuts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aramcoworld.com/Articles/March-2017/Walnuts-and-the-First-Forest-Farms&quot;&gt;Walnuts and the First Forest Farms&lt;/a&gt;: Scientists mapping both walnut forests and languages have discovered close relationships between the two along the major Silk Road routes, evidence that the spread of walnut trees was due at least as much&amp;mdash;or more&amp;mdash;to humans as to nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/walnuts-through-time-brain-food-poison-money-muse&quot;&gt; Walnuts Through Time: Brain Food, Poison, Money, Muse&lt;/a&gt; Walnuts are different things to different people and cultures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cashew&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2016-07-11-monkeys-brazil-have-used-stone-tools-hundreds-years-least&quot;&gt;Monkeys in Brazil have used stone tools for hundreds of years at least&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://tastecooking.com/cashew-chicken-come/&quot;&gt;Where Does Cashew Chicken Come From?&lt;/a&gt;: Think less Sichuan Province and more&amp;hellip;Springfield, Missouri?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pistachio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/where-are-pistachios-from&quot;&gt;America&amp;rsquo;s Pistachio Industry Came From a Single Seed&lt;/a&gt;: A &amp;ldquo;plant explorer&amp;rdquo; helped establish the crop in California.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.science.org/content/article/pistachios-wallop-walnuts-toughest-nut-crack&quot;&gt;Pistachios wallop walnuts as the toughest nut to crack&lt;/a&gt;: Microscopic 3D puzzles are a &amp;ldquo;holy grail&amp;rdquo; of material strength&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=snowynight&amp;ditemid=254671&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Signal boost: This is your chance to help piss off Graham Linehan!</title>
  <link>https://snowynight.dreamwidth.org/213324.html</link>
  <description>I saw the signal boost post from &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://rydra-wong.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://rydra-wong.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;rydra_wong&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; : &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;This is your chance to help piss off Graham Linehan!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/Felix_F_Fern/status/1628845214193311746&quot;&gt;https://twitter.com/Felix_F_Fern/status/1628845214193311746&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am raising &amp;pound;100,000 purely to piss off Graham Linehan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you know any bored, white, able-bodied, cisgender people who have more money than sense, that also dislike Graham Linehan, please do send them my way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will spend the money on far more worthwhile things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-raise-ps100k-to-annoy-graham-linehan&quot;&gt;https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-raise-ps100k-to-annoy-graham-linehan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graham Linehan is an anti-transgender activist who has likened the use of puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics. He&apos;s now trying to raise 100K for being sued due to, in his own words: &amp;quot;... [having] written about David Paisley and his attacks on gender critical women, gay men and LGB organisations.&amp;quot; David Paisley is a domestic violence victim and LGBTQIA+ rights campaigner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felix F Fern&apos;s one of the co-founders of Trans Activism UK, He&apos;s also about to become homeless. Not only does the money can help keeping a roof over his head, but also he will use it to support other marginalized people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=snowynight&amp;ditemid=213324&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
