Even when we sleep we watch over each other
And this love heavier than a lake’s ripe fruit
Without laughter or tears lasts forever
One day after another one night after us.

Colonialism is the ultimate cause of #extinction for so many species (in much of the world, introduced predators, habitat-loss, overhunting etc are all consequences of #colonialism), but it's rare for that link to be made explicit in #museums' labels, like with @mnhn.fr's #thylacine here. 👌

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯
Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke...

Thrilling discovery of a #Pompeii bathhouse! I'm also enthusiastic about the earrings which are of a style called 'crotalia'. They were v fashionable in the 1st century and made little rattling noises as the pearls swung together. Moralist Pliny hated them www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you're on tik tok, please be on guard for racist videos that target important cultural leader Eric Yunkaporta. And please share Wayne Quilliam's portrait of Eric to help raise awareness. These tik tik videos trivialise Aboriginal culture and there are real people being harmed by this.
Warning for TikTok users as 'disgusting' trend goes viral
You might have seen this viral TikTok trend on your social media account. This is the story of the man behind it and why it's being labelled "disgusting".
