Fractal patterns occur in many places in nature:plants & tree branches,shells,feathers,river deltas...
Looking at fractals puts our brains into a relaxed state-we recover from stress 60% more quickly (I teach about this in my classes)
Pause to take in the details of my photo-it'll help your brain

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

As the child of a narcissist, this was immediately what I thought when I saw the East Wing wreckage.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Y'all need to understand - there were a LOT of flags.

#NoKings #Manhattan

Folks with flags march past that big lit flag display in Times Square. A visible sign reads "Abusive Tyrant / $40 Billion to Argentina / $0 to [i think it says USA here?]"

To the scolds posting about how these big nonviolent protests are just for lame normies: _this_ is why it matters to get hundreds of thousands of people in one place yelling & waving signs: not just to create solidarity among those there, but to create images that show our huge numbers to the world.

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record:

This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...
