The city that never dies - Dalia Mohisen - Medium

Just meters away from ruins that no longer resemble homes, I stood staring at stones that were once the roof of a family, now turned into silent witnesses of yet another massacre. The wind wept it…

Ancient #BoneEatingWorms ate mosasaur, ichthyosaur and plesiosaur skeletons https://phys.org/news/2025-07-ancient-bone-worms-ate-mosasaur.html paper by Sarah Jamison-Todd et al.: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0326451

"These bone-eating communities are ancient, and have been on Earth for at least 100 million years. Before #whales existed, bone-eating #worms were eating into the skeletons of #mosasaurs, #ichthyosaurs and #plesiosaurs... New research has named seven of these burrow types... some are very similar to the burrows of living #Osedax worms."

He was also surprised that I had a graduate degree in Computer Science.

And yet, I wanted to spend my time making art?

Instead of being a nameless cog in the San Francisco tech-scene?

I want everyone to have the freedom to make art, and not worry about making rent or food.

Yes, I want there to be a Basic Income!

I keep remembering a conversation with this guy, while I was showing my art, and I mentioned how other countries prioritized funding for art and culture.

He said "I don't think I want my taxes to pay for someone to just play around with art".

I replied with "I don't want my taxes to pay for guns and bombs".

This seemed to shock him. First, that we had different priorities, and second that he didn't think I paid taxes. HA! Like seriously, how could he think I wasn't paying taxes.

@crk5
I wonder what would happen if you held up a sign saying "Stop killing people" and when they come to arrest you, you turn the sign around to reveal another message, in blue and yellow font "I meant 'Stop killing Ukrainian people' "

@crk5 doesn't the lady understand that stopping killing people might hurt their profits? Are they against profits? /s

@iwein @crk5 Why “lady” instead of “white female in long boots, skirt and cardigan”?
