A very small black cat peeking out from under the curtains with big yellow eyes. There's a look of mild concern on her face.

I LOVE all these "everybody contributes to science" projects, but PLEASE stop calling them citizen science and start calling them COMMUNITY SCIENCE projects (and community scientists) instead. It's a far more inclusive and non-limiting term. #SciComm

Re-posting this great piece by Eric K. Ward about how he infiltrated white supremacist groups in the 1990s and learned: “Antisemitism, I discovered, is a particular and potent form of racism so central to White supremacy that Black people would not win our freedom without tearing it down.” ✊

I couldn’t resist the pretty blues of the New Zealand/Aoetearoa velvet worms, so I selected a different species than suggested for #InsertAnInvert2024. Here are my 8” x 8” linocuts drying…. #linocut #printmaking #wip #wildlifeArt #sciArt #invertebrate #velvetWorm
A collection of prints on 8” x 8” square of white washi paper with a blue S-shaped velvet worm, resembling a many-legged caterpillar with two antennas and a pattern of spots. Along its length there’s a central darker blue stripe. There look to be a grid of 12 prints.

“Israel” isn’t “failing to protect civilians,” it’s not even willing to kill civilians as collateral damage in order to kill Hamas fighters. These framings obscure what should be obvious at this point: “Israel” is TARGETING CIVILIANS. You don’t kill tens of thousands by accident!

damn this quote about london from the 1200s makes it sound so epic????
image contains text that reads: You will come to London. Behold, I warn you, whatever of evil or of perversity there is in any, whatever in all parts of the world, you will find in that city alone. Go not to the dances of panders, nor mix yourself up with the herds of the stews; avoid the talus and the dice, the theatre and the tavern. You will find more braggadocios there than in all France, while the number of flatterers is infinite. Stage players, buffoons, those that have no hair on their bodies, Garamantes, pickthanks, catamites, effeminate sodomites, lewd musical girls, druggists, lustful persons, fortunetellers, extortioners, nightly strollers, magicians, mimics, common beggars, tatterdemalions,—this whole crew has filled every house. So if you do not wish to live with the shameful, you will not dwell in London.

Even worse are those analysts who welcomed the 7th of October as expanding the "imaginary for possibilities of both resistance and collective freedom". Carried away by images of destroyed border fences, they ignored both the nature of the attack and its totally predictable consequence.

A reminder: Israel bears full responsibility for its campaign of total destruction of the Gaza Strip. But Hamas's 7th Oct attack was a reckless gamble which - so far - brought unprecedented disaster. Any analysis that omits Hamas's agency and responsibility, is not worth the paper it's written on.

Media is being too credulous about Trump's threats to prosecute Dems "for revenge." This implies he's just threatening to do what is being done to him. That's deception: He's vowing evidence-free prosecutions, which is *not* what's happening to him. 1/ Link: newrepublic.com/article/1824...

Allowing wealth to be concentrated at the very top has completely broken this society. Consider that it's significantly cheaper for billionaires and corporations to spend millions buying politicians and judges than to pay taxes on their wealth. Capitalism incentivizes this kind of ROI.

as a first-gen American, it's been really scary and depressing to see the whiplash from the Trump years when liberals had very strong, positive messaging for immigrants to today where supposed "allies" argue violating international law is a "necessary evil" and whip out polls to say it's all okay.
