It’s always good when beloved places in a city and/or unspoilt places don’t become too well known. For the sake of nature, the places themselves and the local people.

Rare police raid of Taipei gay bar sparks angry protest
Around 100 members of Taipei's LGBTQ+ community protested on Sunday after police raided a gay bar the day before and ​detained its customers, a highly unusual move given Taiwan prides itself ‌on its liberal image and legal support for sexual minorities.

Immunologist and educator Dr. Florence Sabin died #OTD in 1953. The first woman to hold a full professorship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (where she graduated from in 1900) and the first woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering scientist Dr. Florence Rena Sabin (1871–1953) in her laboratory workspace. Dr. Sabin, with her dark hair gathered back, wears thin, round wire-rimmed spectacles and a light-colored lab coat over a dark shirt. Seated in a dark wooden chair facing right, she pivots her upper body toward the camera with a calm, subtle smile. Her hands rest deliberately on a complex, vintage black microscope positioned on the desk before her. The laboratory setting features a dark wooden desk scattered with loose papers and a stack of documents. Behind her stands a tall wooden filing cabinet with numerous shallow drawers, while a large window to the right floods the scene with natural light, illuminating technical equipment nearby. The composition balances the scientific tools with her prominent, dignified presence, evoking an analytical yet warm and welcoming mood. This portrait highlights her legacy as the first woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

Thank you very much for the interesting insight into the book. I have a comment on it. In Germany, vegetable boxes are delivered sustainably (no plastic, reusable boxes). It’s not about hard work and/or time but about an attitude and a lifestyle – for the sake of the environment 🍀.

Wars and conflicts are among the main drivers of forced displacement. From Ukraine to Palestine and Afghanistan, diplomatic efforts to find lasting political solutions remain insufficient. If conflicts were to end, people would begin to rebuild their lives instead of being forced to flee them.

#Music teacher, conductor & composer Nadia Boulanger is regarded as the most influential music pedagogue of the 20th century. Shattered glass ceilings by becoming the first woman to conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra, NY Philharmonic & the Royal Philharmonic Society in London. #MusicSky🧵
A dramatic black-and-white photograph of Nadia Boulanger (September 16, 1887 – October 22, 1979) conducting the orchestra of the Royal Philharmonic Society during a rehearsal at Queen’s Hall in London. The legendary French composer, conductor, and teacher is captured in a powerful, commanding pose from a lower angle. She stands behind a conductor's music stand holding open scores, with both arms raised high against a stark, solid black background. Her face is illuminated by a sharp overhead spotlight, emphasizing her stern, intensely focused expression and clear, round eyeglasses. She wears a simple, long-sleeved dark silk or satin dress with a V-neckline, adorned with a delicate starburst pendant necklace. Her hands are expressive and deliberate: her left index finger points dramatically upward toward the ceiling, while her right hand is held slightly lower, fingers curled mid-gesture. The stark, high-contrast composition isolates her figure, creating a deeply intense, artistic, and reverent mood. This photograph captures an immense moment of historical significance, illustrating the fierce focus of one of the most influential music educators and female conductors of the 20th century.
