"Scientists estimate up to 2 million marine species exist, yet only 240,000 have been formally identified, meaning roughly 10% of ocean life has been cataloged."
A 35-day deep-sea expedition in the Southern Ocean has uncovered 30 new species: from a carnivorous “death-ball” sponge to iridescent armoured worms, black corals and even the first-ever live footage of a colossal squid in its natural habitat. buff.ly/9uVWJvN

Last year Karl Ove came to visit me, and we climbed the mountain and talked about computers and other things. I don't know then exactly what he was wondering about. Now I do.
Karl Ove Knausgaard recalls his first encounters with computers and reimagines his relationship with technology.
“What I struggle with, is that I cannot find an outside to technology. It is as if the outside had disappeared, as if it were no longer a possible place.”

That the placards held by these presumably cis-women protesters seeking to deny trans women rights read ‘adult human female’, ‘large gametes’, and ‘biological fact’ encapsulates the biological essentialism, reductionism, and determinism at the heart of their definition of who counts as a woman.

A gem of a drawing (crayon and chalk) from around 1820 by the Suffolk artist Henry Bright. It's titled 'Symphony,' and was made forty years before Whistler began to name his works with the language of music.
