This is my new favorite thing! Artist Ememem takes cracks in sidewalks, walls and other urban environments and fills them with colorful, mosaic tiles. The results are just joyous. Boy, I really love this. I could see myself doing stuff like this after I retire, maybe I can apprentice. šŸ˜‚ #Art #Artwork #StreetArt

Ememem – the flacking project by Ememem

ACTION ALERT: #NODAPL Remember the facts: it’s not IF a pipeline will leak, it’s only a matter of WHEN it will inevitably happen.
The #DAPL oil pipeline project is trespassing on protected lands & endangering the watershed + river flow of the #missouririver. A river sacred to several nations & a drinking water source. We cannot afford to be sullying up these waters in the name of tar sands. There’s a bit you can do right now, so please go and sign on to the card!

Urgent! Demand a new and valid DAPL environmental review!

Please join me in standing with Standing Rock and send your public feedback on DAPL’s deeply flawed draft Environmental Impact Statement to the Army Corps of Engineers today.

The first research study testing the absorbent qualities of menstrual products with actual blood was published... last week.

Literally, last week. Previous testing tended to use liquids such as saline or water.

Let's take a look and see what they found...

I'd put money on there being a higher regret rate for Harry Potter tattoos than gender affirming care

Howdy, I’m Arch (he/him), a pro archaeologist from the USA operating in FL mostly, but also concerned with the native flora of the American #southeast and the #Southwest /Northwest, especially. Learning plant biology and ecology from the underground-up, and always preoccupied with the goings on in neo-urbanism, climate change reality and policy, and culture.

These #epiphytic #ferns make little nodes, called sori, when they spore and I’m living for them. I love ferns like this Golden polypody (Phlebodium aureum). It also goes by the more understandable name ā€œcabbage palm fernā€
