I've been folding my #zines and dropping them in little free libraries (as well as handing them out at tabling events, etc).

I love the idea of this. It's like traditional pamphleting but with a modern twist.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post by "no context memes" (@weirdddalle ). The post features an image of a Tesla Cybertruck parked next to a dumpster in a parking lot, with another vehicle partially visible on the left. The text on the image reads: "Spot the difference" followed by a broken heart emoji (). The background includes trees, a fence, and a building, with a sign on the dumpster enclosure.

#theBeeAt3

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

# 80

A recent study in Sweden has found that music can affect bumblebee mating - specifically the length of mating events.
In a laboratory environment broadcasting soul songs such as Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On’ resulted in longer and more frequent mating events.
Songs by #TaylorSwift were found to decrease mating event duration and often inhibit entirely mating between #bumblebees.

By returning the stolen statue to Nepal but not disclosing that it was a gift from a major donor, the museum is “getting rid of a problematic object” while simultaneously “face-saving” its relationship with all donors, an art historian says.

Art Institute of Chicago Returned Statue to Nepal, Omitting Link to Wealthy Donor

The famed museum recently returned a 12th-century Buddha sculpture that it says was stolen from the Kathmandu Valley. However, the institute’s announcement failed to mention the statue had once belonged to wealthy donor Marilynn Alsdorf.

That would raise questions big donors to museums don't want raised, much less answered. Where did the donor get that illegally obtained artifact? From whom and when? And how big a tax deduction did they take for donating a stolen item to a major museum?

On 1 April 1937 | A Hungarian Jewish boy, Sandor Braun, was born in Fehergyarmat.

In 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Picture of a young boy's face. He is wearing a shirt and a big polka dot bow under his neck. He has slightly longer hair pulled back to the right side. The photograph is tattered - you can see the marks and losses from the bends.
