Thanks, I haven't seen this, look forward to listening to it.

But generally: European fascists were consciously imitating Jim Crow political/legal tactics invented/perfected by United States colonialists as an immediate response to the post-Civil War emancipation of Black Americans. US fascist movements like Huey P. Long & Father Coughlin were contemporaneous with European development of fascism, so personally I think it's a red herring to treat it as a European invention.

#Today I learned there is a fish called the bluestriped fangblenny, and really, what else do you need to know?

Today is also Crow and Raven Appreciation Day ! I definitely appreciate the corvids. They are so wonderfully clever. Raven is a trickster for a reason.

This is my Crow #linocut, along with ‘A murder of crows’ from my #termsOfVenery series and the raven and fireweed, official flora and fauna of the Yukon print.

Go ahead and laugh, kid. Someday you'll be old and won't recognize a single band name on a major music festival poster either.

In 6 days #Trans children and adults in #Missouri will lose their #healthcare as part of a violation of their basic human rights. Some of them will die as a result, and that is the goal of the Republican Party. This *is* genocide.

If you’re not standing up for trans rights, you’re complicit in trans genocide. Boost. Protest. Vote.

"It's not true that engaged Buddhism is only when you are engaged in social action. Engaged Buddhism takes place at any time, whether you are walking, sitting or drinking your tea in mindfulness. That is also engaged Buddhism, because you are doing it not only for yourself, you are doing it to preserve yourself in order to help the world." - Thich Nhat Hanh #Buddhism

In nearly every hole there was a little miner bee! Most were very shy and would immediately scoot back down the burrow, lol. But I soon found that by putting the camera at the right distance and waiting for them to come back out, I could get close-ups.

LOOK AT THESE CUTE FUCKING BEES

Was recently asked which scientific 'myth' I'd like to see banished forever

Obviously, given my field and output, I had to choose 'we only use 10% of our brains'

It's not just a silly thing that leads to shoddy movie plots. It's worse than that

For one thing, the origins of the 'we only use 10% of our brain' notion are unclear. But analysis suggests it came about *at least* a century ago. Believe it or not, our understanding of the brain has improved by orders of magnitude since then
