Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I'm furious at every single person who put this man back in office.

Nearing 1,000 users on @eurosky.social!!

Anyone can join. You get the exact same features as Bluesky, login the same way, etc. And see all the same posts. So why move to Eurosky? It’s run by a European non-profit, on European servers and bound by European laws (eg GDPR).

Wooohooo! Just moved my Bluesky account to @eurosky.social!

Received the email, but had a quick question: does Eurosky have all the features of Bluesky, eg, drafts etc? If not, does it make sense to wait for more features?

Welcome to the Whistle Resistance: How a Ragtag Group of People are 3D-Printing Whistles at Scale to Keep Communities Safe When I came across the Whistle Goblins (a.k.a. Whistle Avengers) last month, I had flashbacks to the early days of digital humanitarians (some 15 years ago). The latter were also the most ragtag gr…

Jules Verne’s dystopia was a world without humanities. Do... When arts education is dismissed as a waste of time it damages us as a society. The focus of learning is not just to enrich our economy but also to enrich our souls

'Cutting off funding for culture and knowledge has social and political consequences. If you want a healthy and harmonious civil society, invest in the humanities and the arts, for they foster understanding, knowledge and empathy.'

This! 👇 This is what it’s all about, “done by the most ragtag group of people you've ever seen.”

I’m having flashbacks to the early days of Digital Humanitarians. They used to call themselves Digital Jedi back then (15 years ago). Today, they are the Whistle Goblins and Whistle Avengers. Love it ❤️

💯 and thank you & all for rocking this 🙏🙏🙏

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Thanks for sharing!

This finding beats the previous record of oldest cave art by 30,000 years 😮

“The findings add to a growing body of evidence showing that early human creativity did not emerge in a single place, nor was it confined to ice age Europe.”

“The story of human creativity is far older, richer and more geographically diverse than we once imagined.”

The earliest cave art ever found was just (re)discovered in limestone caves on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, dating back 67,800 years!

At first brush, Picasso’s The Bay of Cannes looks calm and quiet, but it’s also rebellious: the boats don’t recede into space—they stack almost vertically, flattening the scene. It’s Picasso in his late years saying, “I know the rules of perspective… and I’m choosing not to follow them.” 🎨
