Fourteen Thousand. The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

Formless Star is out now! Travel to a mysterious ever-changing planet and gather data on the animals that live there. There's 60 different creatures to find, all with unique behaviours and descriptions! Get the game for free (or pay what you want) here! splendidland.itch.io/formless-star

Here's a really visceral example of why everyone should be upset about potentially privatizing the USPS-- whether you ship things, or have things shipped to you, you would be VERY effected. That price from UPS is the next "cheapest" international rate compared to USPS rates.

Hellbenders are North America’s largest salamanders reaching 2 feet long & weighing up to 5 pounds. Sadly, a Trump administration proposal would allow the activities that endangered hellbender habitat to expand unabated. Learn more: biodiv.us/4m3ZCia 📷: David Herasimtschuk/Freshwaters Illustrated

POTENTIAL PASTS: Blurring the line between speculative evolution and palaeontology, I'm designing a selection of hypothetical taxa that could have existed in prehistory! A highly aberrant herbivorous abelisaurid from one of innumerable islands totally wiped from the geological record.

valnet offered me a contractor position at polygon, roughly a week after it laid off most of the team. if you know me at a personal level, you know how much i've wished for an email like this for the past decade. but this isn't the polygon i fought for. i didn't think twice about declining the offer

It's Trans History Week! Meet Dr. James Barry.

Schedule for the week! For once, we are having a light week. Please enjoy the pods!

Librarians and archivists to the rescue.

I support trans rights; I recognise and respect trans people and their right to exist the same as others; I resent and object to the tired lies that bigots promote. Trans rights are human rights.

Remembering my fieldwork in the wilds of Tajikistan. My god it was fantastic countryside.

it feels like there is a very determined effort by games media/industry people in particular, and most of the audience in general, to simply not talk about Microsoft getting added as a priority target to BDS. not hard at all to guess why but it's still shameful www.bdsmovement.net/microsoft

the BDS requests on microsoft are extremely clear and also targeted. they aren't "uninstall windows now and change your entire life," they aren't even a huge ask for games media outside of like exclusive world of warcraft streamers. there is no reason for the near total silence other than shame

A new Block Busters for all $5+ patrons! We watched The Hunt for Red October and talked about the decay of the soldier story, the mystery of Quality, character actors with ridiculous Russian accents, mentor/student yaoi, and much much more! www.patreon.com/posts/block-...

A 6,500-year-old hunting kit that contained pieces of a spear thrower and a boomerang, as well as wood- and stone-tipped darts, was found in a cave in West Texas near the remains of a small fire. It was also by a pile of well-preserved human waste — evidence of those who had once sheltered inside.

funniest fucking way to violate the One China policy lmao

a thing that always drives me crazy in online discourse is when some popular personality or public figure is outed as a conservative and people are like "oh come on, they're not a bigot, they're just a regular old republican!" like. what values do you think the republican party holds, exactly

this feels like the beginning of an extremely dark sci-fi novel

A New Age of Reptiles Preview Thread: The Black-Footed Scalytaur. This 6 ton African notosuchian is a member of the successful and widespread clade Ungulosuchia. Descended from a Simosuchus-like ancestor, members of this mostly herbivorous group can be found across Eurasia and Africa. (1/9)

Having a rough time and all the vet bills took a huge chunk out of my money (and this ordeal is far from over). Mentally I'm not in a headspace to be doing commissions, but they also make the most money, so any ko-fis or sticker sales would really help out.

HAKAIDER requested by @maxidango.bsky.social! One of the coolest dudes you'll ever see

Podcast schedule for the week! I think this is the last really overstuffed week for a long time, fingers crossed, but all the pods are great!

Apparently a lot of people are just finding out, but yeah, there’s a state-organized mass kidnapping campaign on occupied territories, children are forcibly deported to russia, sent to re-education camps, and given up for adoption to russian families. Article 2, point E of the Genocide Convention.

BREAKING: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS JUST SUSPENDED, EXPELLED, AND REVOKED DEGREES FROM 22 STUDENTS FOR PROTESTING GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE

Autism is not a bad thing. If there are more autistic people, it is not a bad thing.

I think the immortal dragons might be my favorite dragon designs in fiction.

I missed that this had come out, but I had great fun chatting with a bird abatement falconer about the practicalities of the job for @texasmonthly.bsky.social

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing? Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...
