“This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general”

Let's channel our scrolling into something more wholesome: #WikiTok. Users can scroll through an endless stream of Wikipedia article stubs, TikTok-style.
Lovely way of defying algorithm addiction.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Didn’t know what to do with all my feelings today. But then I saw a post by @jencross.bsky.social saying, being kind is a simple way to battle the tide of gloom. And so I shall. Until I figure out what more I can do. Rosy Maple Moth.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Five handprints and five footprints combine on a single travertine panel at Quesang, Tibet that formed between 169,000 and 226,000 years ago. The arrangement of the prints suggests an intentionality by ancient Denisovans “making their mark”.

The rhinos we have and the ones we lost.

In the late Pleistocene, about two thirds of the worlds terrestrial megafauna went extinct. Rhinos fared better than average, but still, all the temperate and cold climate species are gone. Those that remain are endangered and in dire need of protection.

It's just the cutest little thing. I'll tell you all about the saberkitten found in Siberia, with comments from @ashinonyx.bsky.social and @magratnj.bsky.social, over at NatGeo!
The world’s first saber-toothed cat mummy has been found in Siberia
This remarkably well-preserved cub could help scientists answer questions about sabertooth anatomy, hunting, and even coat color.
