"WHAT IS THIS CREACHUR"

Hey don't cry, okay? We just found Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, a species thought to be extinct for the past 60 years.

Attenborough’s echidna rediscovered by combining Indigenous knowledge with camera-trapping - npj Biodiversity

We confirm the ‘rediscovery’ of Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus attenboroughi), one of only five modern egg-laying mammals and

Favourite paragraph of this excellent paper:

"In the Terpera language of Yongsu Sapari and Yongsu Dosoyo, Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna is called Payangko, and our camera-trap images demonstrate the potential importance of Indigenous and local knowledge in biodiversity research. Our success in capturing the first photographic evidence of the species was built on the Indigenous and local knowledge of communities in the Cyclops, which informed us on echidna behaviour and habitat, where to place camera-traps, how to search for echidna signs and, fundamentally, gave us confidence the species was still extant. Indigenous and local knowledge in the Cyclops is part of a broader knowledge system and local cosmology that informs issues such as land stewardship, sustainable hunting practices, and resource management. The community of Yongsu Sapari, for example, has for centuries maintained no-hunting and no-logging areas that support sustainable forest management. This underscores the need for Indigenous and local knowledge to be recognised not as an ancillary resource but as a fundamental and complex backdrop to developing a conservation strategy for Z. attenboroughi and the Cyclops Mountains."

The comments section for a post about Dr. James Barry. They will do anything but treat us like the men we SAY we are.

[bungerisme]

trans men in the past could go “In my very essence I know I am a man. My soul, my very being, masculine and male incarnate but trapped in the body of that of which is feminine. Chain down by not only my physical form but the weights of society. I wish to shed it all. To change to become strong and powerful. To grow a beard, to wear a suit, to become something more. I am not Jane. But I am Johnathan. And that is who I will be, that is what I am now.”

And cis white women would go “awwww 🥹 this poor LADY had to suffer through so much sexism- the past was so unfair to WOMEN that SHE had to pretend to be a disgusting worthless man!”

There WERE cases of women in the past doing this. But most would go back to their lives as women typically once their service was done. Or were uncomfortable with being perceived as men but had to for the sake of their job.

But in cases like James, where he wrote about himself as a man, talked about himself being a man, actively called himself James, and even died with the recognition and name as a man. That’s not what a cis woman would do or would want even if her career was that important to her. She wouldn’t pretend to be a man in her private writings. She wouldn’t go to her grave saying she was a man.

You can tell that most elon musk haters aren't really committed to the bit because if they were they would've discovered the phrase "Rock spider" years ago. Like it's the perfect double meaning, successfully narrowed down a mans entire life into a pair of words.

The Attack of the Crupellarii,

In 21 AD during the reign of Emperor Tiberius, two Gaulic nobles named Julius Florus and Julius Sacrovir revolted against the Roman Empire. The revolt was a result of the denial of frequent petition for tax relief and debt forgiveness among Gaulic debtors. Florus and Sacrovir managed to raise an army of 40,000 rebels, some of whom were professional gladiators. Among those gladiators was the Crupellarius, a class of gladiator that was particularly popular in Gaul. The Crupellarius was a heavily armed and armored gladiator who was typically a very tall, large, and muscular man. They wore the segmented plate armor of legionary soldiers (lorica segmentata), as well as segmented plate armor sleeves (manica), a pair of leg guards or greaves, and a large helmet similar to the Medieval great helm. The Crupellarius was typically armed with a rectangular shield or scutum and a gladius short short.

Florus and Sacrovir placed the Crupellarii as the front ranks of their army, where they were to act as human tanks, pummeling and bashing through the Roman ranks. Once in battle, the Romans found that their gladii and pilum (javelins) were practically useless against the Crupellarius’ heavy armor. Thus, Roman soldiers retrieved their engineering tools such as axes, adzes, and pickaxes. Using them as weapons the Romans were able to pierce the Crupellarius’ heavy armor and batter down the behemoths. Once the Crupellarii were defeated, the remaining Gaulic rebels were slaughtered.
