do you ever think about how in the static shock show, there was a sequence where this girl named madelyn used her powers to get into richie's mind and literally all richie had was virgil in his head which lead to virgil's secret identity being exposed? and richie hated it when virgil would hang out with his girls? and richie was wearing an earring? like ik they confirmed it + richie was gay in comics but this had more gay subtext than 90% of modern cartoons nowadays IDCCC

#I've been having more moments like that lately #And i feel bad for how often I've gone to my bosses/colleagues/friends #Hey. So i know you said words. But i understood none of that. Could you say it again. #(They've all been great about it. But. Still maddening.)

So, is Manor Lords as amazeballs as you expected, and is that why you didn't sleep last night? :-)

You don't know me...

But also yes. It's a lot of fun. The only reason I'm not playing it right now is because we're hosting a family birthday dinner. Otherwise, I'd be glued to my screen, watching my wheat fields grow.

#I want to play it #But time. How dare there be no time. #(If i get it i will play it instead of doing sny of the sewing projects i need to) #(or any of the training)

#impressive as ever chocolate guy #I know this is a weird place to put this #but I still hate the lights they put on the eiffel tower #sure it was fun when they first put them up for 2000 #but then they put them back on and I #I remember being in the car as a kid/tween #watching in quiet horror as I could see the eiffel tower at night from way outside of paris #and being hyper aware of the light pollution that adds to the local area

Mary Anning tribute. 1823 flashback

200 years ago, Mary Anning made one of her most important discoveries. She was even accused of being a scammer for it at first. This is an edited version (original here) without the narration, to serve as a prologue for a larger project I’m currently working on (teaser here) and give it some historical context.

This is the Lit Aube et Crépuscule (Dawn and Twilight bed) by Emile Gallé. It was made in 1904 and is at the Musée de l'Ecole de Nancy. The materials include Rosewood, ebony, mother of pearl and glass. The bed symbolizes dusk, dawn and life. Dusk is a butterfly at the headboard with a landscape of night. Dawn is a butterfly at the foot of the bed, illustrating the renewal of the day. The crystal part of Dawn is said to represent life as a “cosmogenic egg”. For more info see the museum’s website here.

"In a historic “first-of-its-kind” agreement the government of British Colombia has acknowledged the aboriginal ownership of 200 islands off the west coast of Canada.

The owners are the Haida nation, and rather than the Canadian government giving something to a First Nation, the agreement admits that the “Xhaaidlagha Gwaayaai” or the “islands at the end of world,” always belonged to them, a subtle yet powerful difference in the wording of First Nations negotiating.

BC Premier David Eby called the treaty “long overdue” and once signed, will clear the way for half a million hectares (1.3 million acres) of land to be managed by the Haida.

Postal service, shipping lanes, school and community services, private property rights, and local government jurisdiction, will all be unaffected by the agreement, which will essentially outline that the Haida decide what to do with the 200 or so islands and islets.

“We could be facing each other in a courtroom, we could have been fighting each other for years and years, but we chose a different path,” said Minister of Indigenous Relations of BC, Murray Rankin at the signing ceremony, who added that it took creativity and courage to “create a better world for our children.”

Indeed, making the agreement outside the courts of the formal treaty process reflects a vastly different way of negotiating than has been the norm for Canada.

“This agreement won’t only raise all boats here on Haida Gwaii – increase opportunity and prosperity for the Haida people and for the whole community and for the whole province – but it will also be an example and another way for nations – not just in British Columbia, but right across Canada – to have their title recognized,” said Eby.

In other words, by deciding this outside court, Eby and the province of BC hope to set a new standard for how such land title agreements are struck."
