Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Views of the Devil's Graveyard, a stretch of Big Bend country canyonland that preserves an incredible (and highly volcanic) slice of the Eocene

A bright late morning overlook of the South Fork of the Devil's Graveyard Formation: on the left, white cliffs of ancient ash fall down into a dry creekbed lined by yellow green brush and a few old cottonwood trees. To the right, desert hills rise beneath a sky lined with skidding white clouds

A spring-fed trickle runs down the dry strembed sediment of the South Fork, below an old cottonwood.

An eocene fossil collecting site, notable for the pinkish purple layer in the white ash deposits. Volcanic rocks are everywhere.

A morning view of the Devil's Graveyard. A bright, lurid sunrise peaks over the horizon; below, banded white and red cliffs roll in a badlands around a mostly dry creek canyon

Todos esas páginas el problema que tienen es que comparten tus datos personales, a no ser que vayas quitándoles los permisos en el pop-up que te sale, y eso leva un buen rato.

this is sociopathic behaviour and I think we need to treat it as such! just because something has become easy to do doesn't mean it has become less creepy, or more acceptable!

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

Es esto. No exist ninguna voluntad de paz. Lo que pretende Israel y anhelan todos los países que amparan sus crímenes es que se deje de hablar del genocidio. Puede que bajen el nivel de violencia pero el objetivo último sigue siempre eliminar toda huella de la existencia de Palestina.

Beatriz Gimeno @beatrizgimeno.bsky.social · 21h

1_La mayoría de los países se han apresurado a reconocer la pax impuesta en Palestina. Es un plan neocolonial que no reconoce el conflicto político: no hay nada ahí que ofrezca autodeterminación al pueblo palestino, ni participación de ningún modo en su destino.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Raghad. Raghad is 22 years old and was finishing her studies to be a nurse. She wanted to go into nursing because her mother had a stroke that made her lose movement in her arms and legs. They are now displaced with her 10 siblings.
