a pin in the shape of the Sarawak flag: yellow background with black and reg stripes and a yellow star, with gold highlights

Hey @paxaus.bsky.social not sure if you can help or not but I've lost a very special pin in the shape of the Sarawak flag from my late father - possibly on the premises on the PAX showfloor (or at least I only noticed it was missing after visiting the floor and returning to my hotel room)

This is true and they are super endangered by poachers who shovel them up by the hundreds and sell them at flea markets and shit. You should not buy the plants and if you happen to kick the poacher in the shins on accident, no one will hear about it from me.

Happy Friday afternoon folks. Here be some leaf sheep wishing you a lovely day 🌊

finally some good news

Covid is not over.

People are still dying and becoming disabled every day.

We rushed “back to normal” for the economy, not because the threat had passed.

When you wear a mask, you’re not only protecting your health, you’re saying you don’t believe anyone is expendable.

I am excited for the tea bot! Your wizard one brings me joy every time I see it on the feed.

A lotta folks have been warning for YEARS that govt subsidies encouraging US farmers to invest near-exclusively in two crops (soybeans and corn) could have catastrophic consequences.

Most were thinking climate-change implications (making these crops ungrowable) but here’s a self-inflicted one!

Full length view of the front of the 1890s dress patterned with oranges and trimmed with black lace

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

look at this cutie! robber flies are the best

Historical scientific illustration of a squid (Loligo vulgaris) shown from a dorsal view. The squid is depicted with a rounded, elongated body covered in pink and greenish speckles. Its large eyes are prominently illustrated, along with ten tentacles, two of which extend to the sides and appear longer with detailed suction cups. To the right of the squid, an elongated, leaf-shaped internal shell or gladius is displayed separately. The illustration is labeled with scientific terms and appears on an aged beige background, typical of 19th-century natural history prints, emphasizing anatomical features for identification.

as always, the most accurate summation of modern politics ever created

Everyone needs to see AI for what it is—a project that undermines truth & agency while transferring wealth from individual creators to Silicon Valley companies & VC’s. Rooted in exploitation of humanity & the planet, it’s a tool for the radical right to claim dominion & end representative democracy.

Now I know what you’re thinking: Did they make a video abstract for this important study? Reader,

Being disabled is a minority group you can join at any time… yet most believe they’re the exception.

They think it’ll never happen to them.

That they will “try harder” their way out of it.

That we could get better if we “really wanted to”.

Health is temporary. Disability is not a moral failing.

Museo Egizio Turin photo showing a small, dark-blue, core-formed, round glass jar which tapers in at the shoulders below the neck. It has yellow, white, and light blue festoon decoration trailed around the main body. There is a single yellow trail just below the neck of the jar. There is a dark-blue circular glass lid, the top of which is adorned with two dark-blue duck heads with yellow bills, a yellow trailed stripe on the top of each duck’s head, and indents for their eyes. The jar is displayed on a perspex (?) stand against a grey background. Glass jar dimensions: 7.6 cm x 9.6 cm. Core-forming is one of the earliest glassmaking techniques. Glassmakers shaped the body of the vessel around a core, wound colored trails around it. They then let the vessel cool and removed the core.

A 3,500 year-old Egyptian glass cosmetic jar with two little duck heads!

Glass was a relatively new material at that time, so this jar would have been a precious possession.
