It would be even scarier if they could read! 😨

Estimates say the total number of fish we slaughter is up to 2.7 trillion. Much of this is down to industrial fishing, where huge nets & lines also kill a huge number of unintended animals (known as bycatch)

Around a million Syrians have returned since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024.
And every day at Damascus airport, families separated by years of war and dictatorship, are finally being reunited.

Lobsters are ripped from the wild and confined to cramped tanks until they’re purchased, boiled alive, and served on someone’s plate. 💔

Did you know pigs can form deep bonds with humans and absolutely adore affection? 🐷

A Spanish study finds vegan diets shrink food-related climate impact more than Mediterranean omnivorous diets. 🌱

Vegan Diet Nearly Halves Food Carbon Footprint Compared with Mediterranean Diet
A new modelling study has found that adopting a nutritionally balanced vegan diet can reduce the climate impact of what people eat far more than a Mediterranean-style omnivorous diet…

a pause. #comic #beach #christmas
Emma looks down at the ocean ripples and the few bubbles coming to the surface as she yells, "HE CAN'T SWIM!?!" She looks in the water and says, "m-maybe he's just joking. Matt, say something if your not joking." There are spelling mistakes and a cursor on the second speech balloon. There is then an incomplete illustration where Alex is drawn running forward shouting, "Emma, I doubt he's in a talkative mood!" A pen is drawing the background behind her. The pen is now drawing on a tablet. We see the artist, Mark, drawing the pictures and thinking. He says, "for some reason, I'm not feeling this SUMMER comic right now." He turns and says, "I wonder why..." It's revealed his entire room is covered in Christmas decorations and snow in the window. Mark shrugs and says, "well, I can pause the comic while I figure it out. The story can wait a little bit." Matt is drowning at the bottom of the ocean with a sign above him labeled: "(the story)."

Transmission. #Photography #ArtAdventCalendar
A photo of the 'Transmission' sculpture in the Mojave desert, which features a head and four hands standing some 30+ feet tall, with purple-blue pastel colored clouds in the background. From the artist: "Transmission lies in the Mojave Desert and symbolizes the connection between earth and sky. Situated at a private residence, the sets of hands are both entrance and exit. The sculpture explores themes of the cosmos – the crescent moons on her forehead and palms, the fractal glass mosaics that reflect the sky in multicoloured rays – but Transmission remains deeply rooted in the land, her body unseen. Her meditative pose and themes of introspection invite viewers to pause and consider their connection to the earth and universe. To Popper, Transmission produces light and reflection in both a literal and symbolic sense."

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.

It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

I found this entertaining. #Writing #WritingAdvice. @alwizards.bsky.social
A comic by (I believe) alwizards_Corner/Alwizard. Six panels (3 rows of 2). Panel 1 shows a man on his knees thinking "The wound is deep, but now is not my time to die." Panel 2 shows him looking determined, thinking, "My plot armor as a named character is stronger than--" Panel 3 shows another man step in and say, "As a final gesture, I willt ell you my name. Know that Mane McVillnn sent you to hell." Panel 4 shows a young man being held back by two guards shouting, "No, my mentor character! His death would be tragic! But also, a huge step in my personal development!" Panel 5 shows the wounded man looking confused as it starts to rain. Panel 6 shows the wounded man looking distraught as the rain increases and pours down his face.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Gotta give it to the turkeys, it IS strange. 😳

This season, let’s be truly thankful by showing respect and keeping turkeys (and all animals!) off our plates. 🙏🦃

I've seen remarkable things in my years of chasing, but this scene from my first year remains a favorite. Here, the flanking line of a supercell is painted by the setting Sun, while the very clouds you're looking at cast shadows for miles (seen as anticrepuscular rays near the horizon). #photography
A line of clouds stretches across the frame from center left to center right above a green field. The clouds have a relatively flat base, with the bottom third of them painted a deeply saturated pinkish-orange by the setting Sun (which is out of frame directly behind me). The rest of the clouds are mostly whitish-gray. Between the base of the clouds and the horizon, shadows cast by the clouds extend for miles into the distance, appearing as dark streaks that converge at a point on the horizon.
