Really just a culmination of other people's brilliance that I laugh at, cry at, or find intriguing. Born in 93, Libra, currently obsessed with LOTR & The Hobbit (books and movies) and plane propaganda 🙄

guys you gotta stop thinking of women in their 30s as elderly it’s just misogyny

[courtesyname]

you also gotta stop thinking about actual elderly women as lesser human beings. Youth is not a measure of one’s worth.

July 15, 2026 - Activist group "Everyone Hates Elon" installed a guerrilla ad subverting Meta's advertisement campaign for its dystopian surveillance glasses for perverts and stalkers, near Meta's London headquarters.

The lenticular poster changes Kylie Jenner to a They Live style monster with Meta's true message: "WE'RE ALWAYS WATCHING". [link]

“Meta has spent years tracking us online,” said a spokesperson for EHE in an email to Hyperallergic. “Now it wants to track us in the real world too.” In an effort to assuage concerns about the glasses secretly recording people, Meta said it would roll out a software update that would disable the camera if the built-in LED recording light was obscured or damaged. However, the product has already been derided extensively online, especially because of its recent popularity with “Manosphere” content creators who post point-of-view recordings of them cold approaching (see: sexually harassing) various women in public without their knowledge. “Meta and Ray-Ban’s new AI glasses can be used to secretly record women and young people for sexual reasons,” the EHE spokesperson continued in their statement to Hyperallergic. “Simply put, that’s abuse.”

You know what I miss the most about pre-1990s fantasy? Novels with titled chapters and tables of contents. I know you still get them now and again, but before the 90s it was common practice, and you wouldn't believe how much easier it is to discuss shit when you've got named episodes to go on.

Bumblebees Increase by More than 100x in ‘Remarkable’ Scotland Rewilding Project–From 35 Bees to over 4,000

But by 2023, just two years of letting "nature take the lead" one can find 4,000 bees, with the number of different bee species doubling.

"A Scottish field once home to mono-crop barley has become a pollinator’s paradise after intervention from a local trust saw bumblebee numbers increase 100-fold.

Entitled Rewilding Denmarkfield, and run by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, the project has also seen a sharp increase in the number of species passing through the rolling meadows after they were reclaimed by dozens of wildflower species.

The area north of Perth is about 90 acres in size, and surveys of bumblebees before the project began rarely recorded more than 50. But by 2023, just two years of letting “nature take the lead” that number has topped 4,000, with the number of different bee species doubling.

“This superb variety of plants attracts thousands of pollinators. Many of these plants, such as spear thistle and smooth hawk’s beard, are sometimes branded as ‘weeds’. But they are all native species that are benefiting native wildlife in different ways,” Ecologist Ellie Corsie, who has been managing the project since it began in 2021, said.

“Due to intensive arable farming, with decades of plowing, herbicide, and pesticide use, biodiversity was incredibly low when we started. Wildlife had largely been sanitized from the fields. Rewilding the site has had a remarkable benefit.”

Similar increases have been recorded in the populations of butterflies, with a tripling in the number of these insects seen on average during a ramble through the field.

The numbers of both insects are now so high that Rewilding Denmarkfield offers bee and butterfly safaris to visitors.

Local residents told the Scotsman that on spring and summer days, the field is awash with color, and hums with the sounds of bees and birds. Even as multiple housing developments expand around the Denmarkfield area, the field is a haven for wildlife."
