That's a lovely read for a Monday morning.
John Wyndham was an outstanding writer, and it's eternally frustrating that his seems to be confined by so many to being sci-fi for young adults. I blame Chocky. His observation of humans was deft. The monsters in Day of the Triffids weren't just plants
maybe it was too random?

ANTONY. I shall remember. When Cæsar says 'Do this', it is perform'd.
CAESAR. Set on, and leave no ceremony out.[Music.]
SOOTHSAYER. Cæsar!
CAESAR. Ha! Who calls?
CASCA. Bid every noise be still. Peace yet again. [Music ceases.]
CAESAR. Who is it in the press that calls on me? 15 I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music, Cry Cæsar! Speak. Cæsar is turn'd to hear.
SOOTHSAYER. Beware the ides of March.
CASSIUS. What man is that?
BRUTUS. A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
CAESAR. Set him before me; let me see his face.
CASSIUS. Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Cæsar.
CAESAR. What say'st thou to me now? Speak once again.
SOOTH. Beware the ides of March.
CAESAR. He is a dreamer; let us leave him. Pass.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2kf2qj56o2vq7jfaq4x4ogp6/bafkreidms5f6o7wtc2hltzwo74vm6q2r7fcwqvoyolmjd6i244nqkicyoy)

TIL "female* appeared in English as femel, femelle, and female, from Latin femella, meaning “young woman, girl” which in turn is based on femina, meaning “woman”
The similarity in form + sound between the words female + male led people to use only the female spelling + invent connection
#Herstory
Stumbled across this:
The root of "female" has nothing to do with "male". It derives from the Mediaeval Latin femella, a diminutive of femina, a woman. It was mistakenly transcribed in Middle English as "female", perhaps creating the impression that a woman is a version/variant/ subset of a man.
How many of the children with special needs were damaged by Netanyahu in his long-standing war in Gaza?
