This is a fantastic series of posts about subsistence farming and why your ancestors will rise from the grave and smack you if you return to it after they got out.

youtu.be/qp0SIJNtIKM?... this dude puts an amazing level of work into not just these insane concept planted tanks that are enclosed, (almost) self sustaining ecosystems, but also his editing which is above and beyond anyone else's in this hobby that ive seen so far

tbh I love Branagh's Frankenstein... except that Branagh's horrific acting, and his take on Victor, ruin it. In contrast, Del Toro and Isaac's Victor is incredible, my favorite take on him by far. When I mentally splice Isaac into Branagh's film in my head, that's my ideal Frankenstein adaptation

I feel like this also needs to be talked about while Russia is still bombing Ukraine This is what Charlie Kirk's wife is involved in and makes her fortune doing, just so we're clear #political

The only thing I have to say on this Remembrance Sunday is to quote, verbatim, what Harry Patch had to say about the First World War:

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Ok so what you need to know about these is that: BLUESKY RESETS YOUR MODERATION SETTINGS PERIODICALLY WITHOUT TELLING YOU. YOU HAVE TO CHECK ANYTIME THE SITE UPDATES BASICALLY.

A shred of reflection and contrition - particularly on behalf of Israeli opinion columnists - would be a good start. A change of government would be better. Best of all will be justice at the ICC, but until then you could try to show some comprehension of what your nation has done.

"It is Israel's misfortune ..." is a typically tone-deaf construction that reveals your fundamental misunderstanding of this issue. Rather, it is Israel's fault that their government is responsible for a genocide. This has not gone unnoticed by younger Americans.

i saw horses in the fog while hiking in the pyrenees, and it was kinda mesmerising. i painted this spread the next day, sitting by the fireplace, and i still really like it. #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #gouache #art

If the political opposition doesn’t put these ICE & CBP institutional criminals in prison, annihilate their budgets, purge the datasets and repeal their authorities, this will keep happening. And that opposition will reveal itself as a false, controlled opposition that is no less predatory on people

Pelosi, like most Dems with power in this moment, wants us to believe she had our interests at hearts & stood against the right. Instead, she used her office for self-enrichment, sabotaged progressives to her left & helped hand the fascists the gun currently aimed at our heads. She truly hates us.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Akita Prefecture has Japan's most aged population, lowest birthrate and fastest declining population. Rigid gender roles are prompting young women to leave rural areas like this for opportunities elsewhere.

It's time to concentrate your power/NUMBERS in DC. It's time to protest where THEY are. It's time to focus on a clear demand: •Impeach •Convict •REMOVE. If you can't make it all 3 days, be there & partake in the main rally Saturday the 22nd; help make it HUGE. Info/donate👉 www.removetheregime.com

"The secret council of 9, appointed for life, and unquestionable, voted to starve the people of the land" - a really bad fantasy author trying to outdo Tolkien and Pratchett and Lewis and Gygax, but making it a little too on-the-nose that the villain is pure contemptuous evil that needs slaying

I mean, it's the exact same logic J.D. Vance uses in saying that certain people in the US are core to the nation and deserve rights and other people aren't and don't. it's fascism. it's bad.

Mamdani is right to refuse to engage on those terms. And the fact that a lot of Jewish people believe Israel has a right to exist which supersedes equality is a real problem. *The* real problem, even.

equality is a real value. the right of states to exist is bullshit, and is used specifically in this context as an excuse for genocide.

positing a "right to exist" for nations is saying that the right of a nation to exist is more important than the rights of people. it means nations can abrogate human rights if they see it as essential for their vision of nationhood.

Mamdani, correctly, refuses to say that any nation has a right to exist. As TNC said, nations don't exist by "right". They exist by power. The US has no right to exist. People in the US have rights.

so, the way this convo works, as I suspect you know, is that "Israel's right to exist" actually means, "for Israel to exist they have to murder large numbers of Palestinians."

lil crab!

Zionists will never hide the fact that they sincerely believe the life of every one of their own is worth ten, twenty times that of a Palestinian. I don't have to dig deep to find that sentiment; its plainly expressed every time I listen to NPR. this tone-deaf psycopathy is why israel has no future.

born in 1988; it is precisely a childhood steeped in fervent, "never again" lessons about the holocaust, the persecutions of jews during the Black Death, the genocide of native Americans and Manifest Destiny, the cold war etc that makes Israel's naked bloodlust so, uh, repulsive?

Exactly this. Everyone one of the “they don’t have the votes” people ignores that every elected Dem has a massive public platform that they could use to get messages out and to call for protests and stoke rage against Trump and the GOP. They could be out there every day and they’re just not.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

his core identity is Islamophobia and support for genocide. not surprising, but good to have it confirmed.

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

i accidentally drank a probiotic *for freshwater aquariums* yesterday while siphoning my planted tank and boy have I not been the same since

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Beatings. Choking suspects until they confess. Shooting unarmed people. On this week’s @revealnews.org, reporters from @mississippitoday.org and @nytimes.com reveal the years-long reign of terror of a group of sheriff’s deputies in Rankin County, Mississippi.

it is wild to me that the most erotic mainstream media ive seen this year is Netflix's Ed Gein show---despite its many, many, MANY MANYYYYYYY problems, these are characters who FUCK

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I just cannot get over how many lives these powerful assholes are ruining to give themselves the courage we literally pay them to have.

Lake Kaindy is a valley lake made by flooding in Kazakhstan, whose water is so cold that it preserved the spruce trees that grew in the valley for over 100 years. Underworld environmental design drop for you!

the exact mechanisms change...the white supremacy is still kind of the core problem...

not to be hyperbolic but reading the pdf changed my artistic trajectory and conception of what type of trans art I let myself make, and also seeing trans men portrayed in such a raw and erotic way has rearranged my brain. don’t sleep on joe’s work but especially BOY SKIN

Back in the 1990s & early 2000s, pretty much the entire Biology department at my university talked her up, that without rifling through her papers, Watson & Crick never would have found any fame at all. “Genetic theory doesn’t exist without her” was the official position with the Bio department.

Many tellings of her story imply her only involvement was involuntary and without her permission (via the infamous 'Photo 51'). In fact she was MUCH more involved than this, including absolutely bodying one of Watson and Crick's first models because it was chemically inept.

Raising a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight. James Watson absolutely did her dirty. But beware...
