Sometimes art just makes you STOP in your tracks, and this is one of them for me. Female sculptor @brigittelajoinie had created this powerhouse of a metal sculpture: "La Femme qui marche" (2017) - photographed by @zoeforgetphotography

Materials: Reinforced steel, steel, glue, pearl, gold leaf, oil patina, recycled elements (wire mesh, rubber, horsehair, plastic soldiers and horses, buttons).

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

At last, a pill that can prevent COVID after exposure to infected people

Drug arrives years after pandemic’s peak, but could still offer protection to vulnerable populations.

An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in people exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus at home, according to trial results published today in the New England Journal of Medicine1. The drug could be a lifeline for those who still face real danger from the virus, such as care-home residents or transplant recipients on immune-suppressing medication.

There are good things happening in the world.

"Unsinkable Sam" was the nickname given to this cat, who was actually named Oscar. He started as a ship's cat aboard the Nazi ship Bismarck, which was sunk by the British ship HMS Cossack in 1941. The British crew found the cat floating on a board hours after the ship sank, took him aboard, and named him Oscar.

Later in the war, the Cossack sank after being hit by a torpedo, killing 159 crew members. Oscar survived again and was rescued along with the remaining crew, and given the nickname "Unsinkable Sam." His last service was aboard the HMS Ark Royal, an aircraft carrier that was ALSO torpedoed, this time by a Nazi U-boat. Oscar survived that attack as well, and afterward retired to Belfast, where he lived in a seaman's home. Oscar died in 1955, a full 14 years after the sinking of the Bismarck.

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag.

Photos of Black Lesbians in The Past

Because if we have a past, we'll sure as hell have a future

[desescrita]

“At times, it feels as if the past is very near. On certain evenings, when the sun has dropped and the air is turning blue, when barn owls float above the meadow grass and a pared-down moon breaches the treeline, a mist will sometimes lift from the surface of the river. It is then that the strangeness of water becomes apparent. The earth hoards its treasures and what is buried there remains until it’s disinterred by spade or plough, but a river is more shifty, relinquishing its possessions haphazardly and without regard to the landlocked chronology historians hold so dear. A history compiled by way of water is by its nature quick and fluid, full of submerged life and capable, as I would discover, of flooding unexpectedly into the present.”

Report sheds light on decades of Indigenous women’s forced sterilization in Quebec

The number of Indigenous women in Quebec who have been subjected to forced sterilization and other forms of obstetric and gynecological viol

The number of Indigenous women in the province who have been subjected to forced sterilization and other forms of obstetric and gynecological violence is much higher than previously thought, according to a new report. On Tuesday, researchers at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscaminque (UQAT) released new findings – a follow-up to the first phase of their research published nearly four years ago. At that time, 35 women’s testimonies were collected related to incidents that took place between 1980 and 2019. Twenty-two stories involved cases of forced sterilization.

we're not ever gonna make this website a safe space for black people or have a substantial black user base anymore unless y'all (non blacks obv) come to grips with the fact that y'all hold internal biases whether some of y'all be blatantly racist and hide behind your disabilities/mental illnesses queerness/transness or it's something as simple as if you see black face on your dash you immediately swipe up

[chilewithcarnage]

I dip into a lot of spaces on this site. non black fandomites I don't ever see you all discuss or celebrate the black characters in the media you partake in. You don't reblog fanart or gifsets of said black characters. You actively don't follow and ignore the black fans in the space you occupy. When the topic of racism gets discussed in these fandoms there's a lot of denial and throwing stones and hiding hands. On queer visibility days I don't ever see y'all reblogging selfies of black trans women, black trans men, black lesbians black gays or black bisexuals. I very rarely see y'all circulating mutual aid posts of black users. People in NSFW arenas, I don't ever see you reblog content of black swers. For whatever reason y'all keep the black people in your likes. It requires posts to be made by white and non black people discussing racism and social justice to actually get some traction when black tumblr users will make the same talking points but get a fraction of the notes.
