People have accused my macro photos of being AI which is such a bummer. Like yeah man bugs and crabs are weird but they really do act like that. That’s why nature is cool. AI has ruined weird little guy photography.
The amount of people I see harassing real artists and even wildlife photographers with accusations of AI is genuinely disheartening, and sadly this is just the beginning

After the Tawjihi results, all the exhaustion, and moving from one place to another, we are now searching for a university for Sulaf to study medicine.
The challenge now is paying the fees so she can begin, and she can’t do it without your support ❤️

Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

I'm a lifelong Tarheel and I cannot emphasize this enough: Asheville is the place in North Carolina where I'd predict that MAHA would have the strongest cultural support, simply because of the "crunchy to alt-right" pipeline. For RFK to get called out there is a sign of how unpopular this regime is.

Larry Summers is also an idiot and utter crap as an economist, he's always wrong on everything, and just carries water for what the billionaires want on economic policy. FFS.
