these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.

Destiny calls, will you pick up the phone?

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

Goodnight

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA a comic/poem (1/🔶)

I think about this joke a lot these days.

[Mexico City, Mexico] Following the attempted murder of a trans woman. Cops just let the alleged perp go. So actionists from the Mexican sex workers union stormed the judicial building. Via Ghost of Durruti

STOP. ASKING. CHATGPT THINGS. TO OWN IT. We all know it's bad and it can't count the number of Rs in strawberry. Quit boiling the planet with your fucking dunks

なにかいるかな?がんぼるぞい! translation: Is there anything there?

JEAN-MARIE LE PEN EST MORT !

Something we don't talk about often enough in the creation of a "safe space", is that safe spaces aren't conflict free. They are conflict forward, with boundaries that by necessity bar entrance to people who will jeopardize that space. You can't sand the corners off the world, you carve space out.

Oddly enough, this is a real movement: In response to X/Twitter announcing they are using user content to train AI, Korean users began describing "destroying Elon Musk's testicles with a spinning kick" as a healthy and wholesome traditional activity in order to contaminate the AI training data.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

Fucking monstrous. I hope he gets a forced early retirement from the killing fields.

Chauvet Cave was discovered on the 18th December 1994. 30 years ago today. To many it is the most arresting expression of cave art in the archaeological record & it is one of the oldest examples in Europe. Here are four of my highlights. archeologie.culture.gouv.fr/chauvet/en #AncientSky 🦣🏺

idols and guardians sculpey, acrylic pain, handmade beads and hemp cord

As we approach Midwinter, here's The Black Stag from the cave of Lascaux. Considered to be either a creature of Ice Age myth, or a rendering of an extinct Megaloceros. Deep in the ground it was drawn above geometric symbols, including 13 circles, the meaning of which is now lost. #AncientSky 🌙🦌🦣🏺

New studies out yesterday show when modern humans last mated w/Neanderthals, but it's the details in this paper by @arevsumer.bsky.social @kaypruefer.bsky.social & co. that got me–like a mother and daughter found together after 45K years, or their close relative identified in a distant Czech cave.

At CEO kindergarten they practice lockdowns to survive an active shooter. Wait no that’s regular kindergarten with regular baby children

Possibly the first reconstruction of a dinosaur to come from Africa, drawn in the 1910s by a native Tanzanian (then part of the colonial Deutsch-Ostafrika) taking part in the Tendaguru fossil excavations.

If you are to watch one thing about the Assad regime, make it this 55 seconds. Note: The rebels found a little kid in the same prison he’s talking about. (Full video in next post below)

As we approach Midwinter the imagination drifts to the dark places of the Ice Age & the representations of animals, people & spirits within. Here is the famous Sorcerer of Les Trois-Frères cave. A fabulous & terrifying mythical creature or maybe a transformed human. #AncientSky 🦣🏺

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

always stunned by how many people at work ask me what the "purpose" of a given animal is. "what is the purpose of a jellyfish" "what do turtles do" what the fuck do YOU do man!!!!!!
