The amount of times that I have seen paid advertising that is essentially female bodies in underwear, sometimes a lot less than what I wear
And I'm thinking "how do they not get flagged by the auto sensors?" 🥹
But of course it's money
Scrapping jury trials is an affront to the very foundations of our democracy.
From the moment this government was elected, it has come after the civil liberties we all hold dear.
This is yet another outrageous assault on our fundamental freedoms. I will be voting against it.
WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

Disabled people being pushed into poverty.
People with disabilities need support, not benefit cuts.
Requirement to score 4 points for an activity leads to loss of PIP support.
Govts attack human welfare whilst promoting corporate welfare.
We are all one event away from needing disability support
A pencil drawing of two men, selfie style, next to the photo reference. A dark haired man with a mustache and stubble beard stands to the side of, and slightly in front of a man with silver-grey hair to the nape of his neck, a hat and a short beard and mustache. Another man to the side has only his arm visible.
Looking at this photo I have tried drawing makes me realize #Warhorse really employed some super good looking men for #kcd2 . Sorry I couldn't fit #Eric in. #MichaelPitthan #LoganHillier #JimHigh
Good stuff! I really like the angle.

This is why I dislike conspiracy theories about evil shadow cabals secretly running things
It makes scapegoats that can’t be punished/held accountable/changed, & gives the ppl in power WAY too much credit—they’re not Evil Masterminds, they’re just incompetent negligent & hateful ppl w lots of money
A photo of a small glass panelled walkway illuminated by led strip light at the bottom. It leads from the new section of the John Rylands Library towards the old githic style part. Looking ahead is a long corridor with several carved stone arches along it's length. There are wall lights on either side lit with a soft golden light. Several people can be seen walking along the corridor

A coloured pencil and ink drawing of two men. The dark haired man has his hand on the blond man's waist, as the blond man explains something. Thet are standing at the opening of an arched alley, with briar roses and ivy growing up the stone wall near them.

A drawing of the horse, Secretariat. He is facing the camera, with his head turned slightly to the side. Sunlight is lighting him up from above.

“Every hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn’t someone want to talk about it! We’ve started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the rest of the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we just don’t care if they are? I’ve heard the rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much? ... Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”
Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.
a painting of a woman in gunfighter clothing, black with a red vest with white polka dots, a patch on her left eyes, she is wearing a black hat, seen from a low perspective, walking through a shrubby desert landscape, a moon behind her, a giant owl flying in front of it, the sky dark blue

A pen and ink drawing of a couple in 17/18th century-dress,supposedly Spanish. To their left is a stone archway and a patio area with balustrades, looking out on a formal garden. In the foreground are two potted orange trees in the shape of spheres. In the background are a fountain and a hedge with an archway cut into it leading to a different part of the garden (not shown).
More period tomfoolery. A very different period than usual, though, and a completely new one for me... #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt #PenAndInk #illustration
Despite her genius, the Geological Society of London banned women, so male scientists often published her work without giving her credit.
She spent her life in poverty while her "monsters" changed science forever.
Today, we recognize her as the true Mother of Paleontology! 🦴🌊
A striking digital composite that bridges two centuries of scientific history. On the left, a colorized version of the famous 1842 oil painting shows Mary Anning looking resolute in her practical cloak and bonnet, holding her geological hammer. On the right, the image transitions into a modern, high-definition photograph of a complete Ichthyosaurus fossil from a museum exhibition. The fossilized skeleton is embedded in dark, textured shale, showing the creature's long snout, massive ribcage, and distinctive paddles. The composite creates a "then and now" effect, placing the 19th-century pioneer right next to the raw evidence that proved the world was once ruled by extinct reptiles. The lighting on the colorized painting is matched to the museum spotlights on the fossil, making it look as though Anning is standing inside the display itself. This unique artwork highlights her role as the woman who bridged the gap between myth and the modern science of paleontology. Digital composite by Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Mary Anning on International Women's Day!
In the 1800s, the word "dinosaur" didn't even exist.
With just a hammer and chisel, Mary unearthed "sea monsters" from shale cliffs, providing the raw evidence that proved extinction and founded the science of paleontology! 🦕⛏️ #WomenInScience

Despite executing one of the most complex physics experiments in history to prove the theory, the Nobel Prize was only awarded to the two male theorists who suggested the idea.
Dr. Wu was completely excluded from the award. :(
Today, we make sure her actual conrtibution is celebrated! 🏆✨
