Welcome back to #FossilFriday!
Here is a Petoskey Stone which is Michigan's state stone. It is a colonial rugose coral known as Hexagonaria percarinata. This comes from the Middle Devonian (Givitian) Gravel Point Formation (Traverse Group). Each corallite that you see would have housed a polyp.

And, as if to prove my point, some of those overgrown bullies have decided to sign a petition *against* their bigoted bullshit solely so they can write more bigoted bullshit in the comments.

At the shelter today, struggling with yet another unprofessional model. All I wanted her to do was show off her little shoes and I feel like that should not be too much to ask.

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic

Slovakia just rewrote its Constitution to erase legal gender recognition, restrict adoption, and ban surrogacy. Tell the EU to act now to defend equality, family rights, and democracy. ✊ Sign here: a.allout.org/s/v0qyx/

So yesterday I had a minor fall while hiking, and ended up bruising both my palms, knee and ankle. Falling in your 20s vs 30s is night and day. I'm hobbled now.
Anyways here's Nicolas Fischer climbing walls like nothing.

This is probably my fav time of day; in bed with compression boots on, back warming pad on, (with the fan on, on my face of course!) reading or watching YouTube videos or listening to music and using a couple of massaging heating eye masks. I have one with a sleep programme that I use last thing

I've seen several people saying something along the lines of "I've studied the Nazis, read lots of books, seen loads of documentaries and I didn't know that symbol was Nazi"!!!!!! Yes the totenkopf is more than just a Nazi symbol but it is a Nazi symbol and it's permeated society in so many ways.
