Count Binface wants water bosses to swim in rivers to prove they’re clean. He could win a by-election on that policy alone.

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 taxidermy thylacine on display at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris A screen shot of the label (with the English translation overlaid):

Dubbed the Tasmanian Wolf, it gained an overblown reputation as a ferocious predator. For many years, bounties..."

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.”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

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 anyone feels like making a difference in Aboriginal Youth Suicide, and Aboriginal Mental Health, the best place bar none is Dr Tracy and the Jilya Institute. I cannot stress the importance and the results of Dr Tracy’s work. If you can spare $5 even, please do. Every cent helps. 🖤💛❤️
