Airline loses three kittens rescued in Crete by newlyweds

British couple feared the worst after kittens were left in hold after flight to Paris and returned to Greece A newlywed couple who married in Greece said they feared the worst when three kittens they had rescued from Crete went missing after being left in the hold of an aeroplane. They first travelled to the island in September 2023 and found the mother cat, who “had a very distinctive bulging eye that needed to be removed”, Bethany Mulcahy-Stephenson, a veterinary nurse, said.

Et no comment sur le choix de l'image qui accompagne l'entretien à @liberation.fr avec l'historien autoproclamé du féminicide, qui déverse sur les RS du corps féminin ouvert et sexualisé. Mais comme c'est de la cire du 18e, ca ne pose pas de problème, hein.

On voit que le débat avance bien.

Mais oui, toutes ces rabates-joies (à lire au féminin), qui se contentent de condamner platement les féminicides. Alors que nous, on voulait juste s'amuser un peu avec un style enlevé et une histoire un peu ludique !

It has been amazing to discover the municipal museum of Lagos (Portugal), and more specificall, their museum of slavery. They were pioneer in discussing it at a national level, and still their musseography is compelling

This one's for the taxidermy curious. We are legion, yeah?

In "Coyotes, Cougars, Californians," I trace evolving display practices @nhm.org. It's a story about how one museum revises boundaries of belonging, featuring the late great P-22.

A cougar diorama crafted in the 1930s, a remote Sierra Nevada scene. The mother cougar rests, one cub bats at her tail, the other cub watches. The tan cats are camouflaged among the rocks.

A coyote diorama crafted in the 1950s, set in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. A male holds a jackrabbit in his jaws. The female attends to the pups who wrestle and nap.

A new kind of diorama crafted in the 21st century. Not a wilderness scene but an urban backyard. A coyote has caught a pet cat for its next meal. The backdoor to this family home remains ominously ajar.

A photo of the late cougar, P-22, at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. On a normal day, visitors would see the Hollywood Sign aglow behind him; on this day, only tributes, scrawled on a rainbow of post-it notes. Visitors, mourning his passing, transformed the wall into a collective eulogy for the "inspiring Angeleno."

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women
