Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates

Even when we sleep we watch over each other
And this love heavier than a lake’s ripe fruit
Without laughter or tears lasts forever
One day after another one night after us.

Colonialism is the ultimate cause of #extinction for so many species (in much of the world, introduced predators, habitat-loss, overhunting etc are all consequences of #colonialism), but it's rare for that link to be made explicit in #museums' labels, like with @mnhn.fr's #thylacine here. 👌

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls
