From Sudan to Palestine, from Darfur to Gaza, war criminals must pay for their crimes against humanity. Hopefully we not have to wait 20 years to see Netanyahu in the dock

Getting a PhD title is fine, but getting the title of Ammon Knight is another level 🎓🧎🏼

#MolluscMonday: James Sowerby's illustration of Ammonites bucklandi from the Lias of the Bath district, in vol.2 of Mineral Conchology (1818), the description brightened by the tale of William Buckland being proclaimed an 'Ammon Knight' by his friends for his mode of carrying a large specimen.
Illustration from Sowerby's Mineral Conchology of the large ammonite he named after William Buckland. It shows a large spiral shell with its inner whorls missing. Extract from Sowerby's published description: 'Found in the Blue Lias of Bath and the neighbourhood, measuring from a foot to 21 inches or more in diameter, and rather remarkable for having frequently lost the inner whorls; which circumstance, by a sort of friendly pun, has given rise to the name given it, in honour of a meritorious and enlightened Geologist, the Rev. W. Buckland, who having found a large specimen, was induced by his ardour to carry it himself, although of considerable weight, and being on horseback it was not the less inconvenient; but the inner whorls being gone so as to allow his head and shoulder to pass through, he placed it as a French horn is sometimes carried, above one shoulder and under the other, and thus rode with his friendly companions, who amused him by dubbing him an Ammon Knight; and thus the specimen was secured, by diverting the tedious toil otherwise hardly to be borne. May his zeal for information always be rewarded: may his abilities continue to meet that attention they have hitherto so deservedly gained: may his horn be exalted with honour.'

#MolluscMonday Early Pleistocene Neptunea angulata from the Red Crag of East Anglia bearing a striking example of the shell repair trace fossil Caedichnus, normally representing failed attempts at predation by crabs. Would handling this sinistral snail have proved difficult for the crab?

La vida y ya

Me gustaría preguntar si el silencio es una postura neutra. Si no hablar de Gaza significa no posicionarse. Si el silencio es algo que no te arrima hacia ningún lado.

Sin embargo, también es ecotopía (oikos=casa; topía=lugar) al comprender que Gaza nos afecta y ataca nuestro lugar común (humanidad). Una huelga, manifestación o acción por Gaza vuelve a abrir las puertas del bienestar colectivo por encima de cualquier bienestar individual. Y eso es revolucionario.
vitoninigo.bsky.social
Esta perspectiva de la huelga por Gaza como recuperación de la utopía me parece muy interesante. No se lucha por elementos de nuestra vida cotidiana (nuestro lugar), sino por algo abstracto y que no ataca nuestras bases materiales, la humanidad (no lugar=utopía) (1/3)

Las vibras de ayer en Madrid, la de gente allí y en otras ciudades, me hace pensar en el cambio social que impulsan. La deriva nihilista hacia la indiferencia, la celebración sin complejos de la injusticia, nos tendrán por miles enfrente, cantando y acompañados.

Cuando la marcha ya iba subiendo la calle Alcalá, a punto de entrar a Gran Vía, todavía había gente que apenas si avanzaba en Atocha.

Esta tarde nos vemos en Madrid. La lucha por Palestina es la lucha por la vida, por la dignidad y por la justicia. Por eso es una lucha ecologista, feminista, educativa, sindical, sanitaria...
Nos vemos a las 18:00 en Atocha 🇵🇸

For #FossilFriday, meet Inoceramus : the largest bivalve to ever exist. This genus lived in the Cretaceous seas of North America and Europe.

This one is 178 cm long. And look at these rings ! It must an amazing palaeoenvironmental recorder to work with 😍

#PaleoSky 🦑 🧪 ⚒️
A shell of a bivalve mollusc that was found in 1952 in the valley Qilakitsoq on the Nuussuaq peninsula in western Greenland.

The scientific name of these bivalves is Inoceramus steenstrupi. They lived between 83 and 63 million years ago. These are the largest bivalves ever to exist. It is thought that they lived in an oxygen-poor environment and that they layed unattached on the sea floor filtering plankton and detritus from the water.

The shell is 178 cm (70 inch) long. The other half of the bivalve is in the Geological Museum of Copenhagen. ___

On display at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. Link to this new Institute filled with many hallway displays at www.natur.gl/ hey now, "moi" for scale and a line-up of 2014 Nuuk Geoscience Workshop geologists waiting for their turn with the mighty mollusk.

The Nuuk display is geotagged instead of the Cretaceous fossil-bearing rock formation on the opposite side of Greenland.

For #FossilFriday, we have a fossil from our editor Verónica Vennari.

This is Argentiniceras noduliferum, an Early Cretaceous ammonite & index fossil specimen from the Vaca Muerta Formation in the Neuquén Basin, Argentina.

🇵🇸🟢 En la huelga parcial educativa madrileña de hoy, cientos de estudiantes y trabajadores nos concentramos en los campus de Somosaguas y CIU de la UCM

Denunciamos la complicidad de nuestras universidades con empresas como el Santander que están financiando el genocidio 👇🏾

En su cabeza es un insulto, pero para las asambleas de @ucm-por-la-publica.bsky.social no hay mayor halago 💚
Ojalá tener una presidenta en la región con un mínimo de la dignidad de la flotilla y de las asambleas en defensa de la educación pública

Hoy hay que recordar al Mármara. Un barco civil humanitario que formaba parte de la Flotilla de la Libertad que intentó romper el bloqueo a Gaza en 2010.
El ejército de Israel asaltó la flotilla asesinando a 10 activistas. Aún no ha habido justicia.
No son 2 años.
