It would be nice if @peertube could add the ability to put your own language on videos. Right now, there is a list of languages, which are perhaps the most popular, but it doesn't include every language in the world. For example, I'm uploading a film in Acholi, but there is no option to specify that this is the language.
Update: I see Kiswahili now, was a user interface thing as it was hidden. #peertube
Hello people! We are Sisi Film Collective, and this is our #introduction post. We are a #collective of #filmmakers and #storytellers based in Uganda.
At Sisi, we believe in collaboration and nurturing voices that might otherwise go unheard. Together, we create short films, poetic visuals, feature films and collaborative art projects.
We’re here to share our stories, #connect with other creatives, and discover your stories too. Let’s connect and keep the stories flowing.
🧵 Some random thoughts about #journalism, #journalists #media, #socialMedia as echo chambers, and our ability to change from #nagScrolling to #solutions.
Have you ever noticed that people get upset about bad journalism or claim that ‘the’ media are not reporting something? They post (supposed) evidence. Who gets the attention? (a good question before boosting!)
In advance: Yes, if we analyze something bad for learning, we need these links and proofs. But I don't talk about that. I talk about
🧵 borders. Now I found an article by a Pakistani journalist which is a good example: It is internationally understandable. It shows the context of climate change from the very first sentence. But it also shows the political interdependencies and the environmental damage: https://globalvoices.org/2025/07/14/deadly-floods-hit-pakistan-as-government-preparedness-faces-scrutiny/
Sharing this good example of journalism, readers can be informed better, learn something new. And we can even take the good example to teach about bad journalism and how do do better. And so we all
I finally started uploading some of my photos to wikipedia as CC-by-SA. Makes it so much easier to find them again when I need them.
This is a star worm from the family Rhagopthalmidae. It looks like a tiny subway train crawling on the forest floor.
Took this with my cheap 25mm 7Artisans manual lens, because the wide apeture could capture the dim bioluminescence. I had a fill light to the right so there is a glimpse of what the animal actually looks like.

“Where their fur is normally fawn or black, under certain wavelengths of light, they exhibit a process referred to as biofluorescence – like nature’s version of a white shirt glowing at a disco.”

@Natteheks That reminds me of one of my all-time favourite childrens' books when I was young, "Nature's Smallest Gravedigger". I still have it, so here are some photos from it.
It is all about the life of the American burying beetle, *Nicrophorus americanus*, and, remarkably, it was one in a whole series by Golden Books called Nature's Sanitation Corps.
The book was written by Victoria Cox and Stan Applebaum with illustrations by Dorothea Barlowe and it was published way back in 1974. My Nana gave it to me in 1977 (yes, I'm old).
I still think it's a marvellous book. I like how all the illustrations are accurate depictions of the animals exactly as they are, not simplified down and sanitized for children.
