In Nov 2012, Mariya Soroka uprooted an alder tree at her home in Vinnytsia Obl; she found a bottle of millet.
Her grandfather buried it in 1932 to save from Soviet confiscation, but never found it again. His daughter Yustyna & 3 children starved in 1933.
The bottle is now in the Vinnytsia museum

I'd so much rather just show you my tits but since politicians are working to make my existence criminal and my life miserable I am instead sharing these videos of myself talking about why I use @z.cash instead of their currency.
(You can still see my tits if you know where to look and how to ask.)

Got a chance to start a valuable conversation with Ryan who runs the @zkavclub.bsky.social about how sex workers use Zashi Wallet as a financial privacy and self-sovereignty multi-tool in our businesses & life. 😁
And then? I had some fun turning ZECsy stickers into nipple pasties for #TittyTuesday!

Folks! We’re raising a bit more money for the pre-production of my new film. Script's done, casting & design are underway, and there’s still room to join as investor, sponsor, or through product placement - with some cool partners already on board.

Every now and then I remember that sponges are ANIMALS — that these seeming hybrids of plant and rock; these sessile, porous, tissue-and-organ-less barrels, tubes, and blobs are just as much an animal as a falcon, wolf, or shark — and marvel once more at the wonderful weirdness of life on Earth.

Nicht die Kammern sind das Problem. Nicht die Interessensvertretung. Nicht die Sozialpartnerschaft. All das ist unglaublich wichtig.
Das Problem sind machtgeile Funktionäre, die nur eigene Interessen vertreten und Parteien, die eine klare Trennung der Funktionen als unnötig ansehen.

Peatlands cover just 3% of Earth but store nearly 1/3 of the world's carbon. When drained for mining, they spark "zombie fires" that burn underground for months, releasing 100x the carbon of normal wildfires. Originally published by @vox.com .
The Land That Stores Nearly a Third of the World's Carbon
Peatlands act as a crucial climate regulator, and are increasingly at the center of conflicts over resource extraction.

Fabulous essay
On what would have been Divine’s 80th birthday, Herman Lategan explores how Harris Glenn Milstead became the actor who made ‘filth’ divine, and why his legacy still disrupts pop culture.
