Black Lives Matter.

I can’t believe these are still controversial takes.

I'm not claiming that they're right, that you are actually buying "intelligence" from them by the meter, I think that's misleading.

But also, the fact that that's the *framing* goes to show to you that they absolutely, completely want it to be, and want to sell intellectual slavery, as far as they can get it.

And worth noting also that there's a subset of Americans (namely folks with small kids and/or mobility issues) who end up really alienated by the glibness of bike/public transit folks, who might be more open to car alternatives if their needs were treated with more seriousness by those advocates.

Just what the climate needed — setting Tehran's oil storage facilities on fire.

I am standing in my kitchen, sorting the trash into four different containers, because my country wants the planet to survive; meanwhile Trump and Putin have decided that the planet will not be needed after they are gone.

I am calling for an age of discernment. The ability to process, to think critically, to not react to every single thing and to carefully analyze information, is crucial—especially now. Technology is shortcircuiting our thinking and interfering with process. Hence short attention spans—and laziness. And doomscrolling, instead of reading books.

Les petites souris sont souvent mal aimées... Pourtant je les trouve si délicates et gracieuses que j'ai voulu en faire une sculpture au couteau ! "Souriceau des bois" est une broche artisanale unique, faite main en Normandie durant de nombreuses heures. Elle est une ode à l'intelligence fine, au courage, à la délicatesse et à la douceur !

RDV samedi soir à 20h (28/02) sur mon site pour l'adopter lors de ma vente d'hiver ✨

The "adoration" on Threads for Pedro Pascal isn't just about acting.

It’s a reaction to a culture starving for grounded, non-toxic masculinity.

Pour toutes celles et ceux qui aiment les objets travaillés comme autrefois : voici "Ronce", un bracelet en noyer tourné par un collègue artisan, entièrement sculpté main par mes soins et incrusté de perles d'argent. C'est une pièce unique que j'ai pensé sur le papier puis sculptée copeau après copeau avec toute la lenteur et la précision que nécessite ce métier que j'exerce depuis 8 ans ✨
