“It isn’t just that the planet is overheating, the environment falling apart, poisons spreading globally, the decline of food, fresh water, soil, forests and a dying ocean. It isn’t just overpopulation, weapons of mass destruction, pollution, pandemics, out-of-control technologies, growing inequity and misinformation.

It’s all of the above, coming together at the same time. This is the Human (made) Emergency.”

"Amid escalating horror, #UN experts urge States to take concrete action to end impunity for #Israel"

"More States must join the #HagueGroup, a bloc of states that is coordinating efforts to ensure #accountability for Israeli breaches of #international #law and uphold decisions by the International Court of Justice (#ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (#ICC), a group of independent #human #rights experts* said today."

[P] Sigh. The racist rabbit-hole with Quest for Glory III is really getting me down. I'll see discussions about the game begin, corpulent with fastidiously fashioned faux obloquy only for the truth to creep in around the edges as they felt safe in the sickly repose of bigoted like-minds. Too much swahili; too much blackness; too much black culture; don't like the way the black folk talk. It's depressing, but ultimately... predictable. It's just depressing.

I don't think many women had abortions for the reasons listed
I not saying none but the reasons listed cheapen what they went through and wrestled with and the concerns were many, varied, confusing conflicting and complictaed
What it "allowed" them is their basic, indisputable and precarious at all times, right of autonomy
I think that it was not your intention but words like these are dangerous and misleading

#ICE director Todd Lyons: "We need to get better at treating this like a #business ,where this #mass #deportation operation is something like you would see and say, like #Amazon trying to get your Prime #delivery within 24 hours. [...] So trying to figure out how to do that with #human beings.”

A compelling, fascinating and strangely beautiful video. Have you ever seen a chimpanzee grooming a human? Nope, me neither, and this is absolutely amazing. The chimp’s very systematic, compassionate, and clearly knows what she’s doing.
Animals are way smarter than we think, and here’s the proof…

Crypt of the Cathedral of Saint-Cyr-and-Sainte-Julitte in Nevers, France, 2021

A crypt (from Latin crypta "vault") is a stone chamber beneath the floor of a church or other building. It typically contains coffins, sarcophagi, or religious relics. First known in the early Christian period, in particular North Africa and Byzantium, churches were often built over a Mithraic temple, erected in classical antiquity by the worshippers of Mithras. Worshippers of Mithras had a complex system of seven grades of initiation and communal ritual meals. Initiates called themselves syndexioi, those "united by the handshake". They met in an underground temple, the so called Mithraeum. This Mithraeum was either a natural cave or cavern, or a building imitating a cave, that was adopted by the early christian builders to serve as a crypt for the newly build church above.

In antiquity the Mithraeum primarily functioned as an area for initiation, into which the soul descends and exits. The Mithraeum itself was arranged as an "image of the universe". It is noticed by some researchers that this practice, especially in the context of mithraic iconography, seems to stem from the neoplatonic concept that the "running" of the sun from solstice to solstice is a parallel for the movement of the soul through the universe, from pre-existence, into the body, and then beyond the physical body into an afterlife.
