Utroba Cave in the Rhodope mountains, Bulgaria. Carved by hand more than 3000 years ago (?), it was rediscovered in 2001.
Archeologists hypothesize that an altar built at the end of the cave, which is about 22 m deep, represents either the cervix or the uterus.
At midday, light seeps into the temple through an opening in the ceiling, projecting an image of a phallus on to the floor.
When the sun is at the right angle, in late February or early March, the phallus grows longer and reaches the alter, symbolically fertilizing the womb before the sowing of the spring crops.
In any city fares are a uselessly small fraction of the money that allows public transit to work. Public transit is funded by all of us as citizens, which makes paying to use public transit an extra burden carried by the poor: the people who have no CHOICE but to use it. A poverty tax. (Don’t @ me about your beardo husband who bikes to work and buses part way that’s not the majority of users and we all know it)
This Friday, push back. Fare policing is white supremacy at its WORST. Don’t let this happen ever again. Images via @dreaded.jinxx #nyc #mta #LOOKINGATYOUALSOTRIMET
Here in #portland Trimet wants to spend several hundred thousand adding more cops to police fares, even tho that money is desperately needed elsewhere to make Trimet more accessible and user friendly.

For those not tapped into Australian politics, King Charles is in Australia to conduct his "historic first tour to the commonwealth realm" i.e visting countries that King Charles is supposedly a monarch to.
Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe had requested an audience with King Charles for weeks prior to this visit, she wrote countless letters to speak to him. Unlike other commonwealth nations and other former Brisitish colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never formed. Their land was never ceded to the British Crown. After being denied and ignored, Lidia Thorpe, draped in a traditional possum skin cloak, stormed in the Great Hall during the reception for Charles at Parliament House in the capital shout the following:
I literally can't even look at these photos without getting goosebumps.
AHHH THE LAST IMAGE CRACKED ME UP SO MUCH THIS IS AWESOME!
The whole purpose of this comic is to just show you that they’re one big, happy family together. I think Tony arranged adoption papers, that sounds like something he’d do, don’t you think?
"you are tearing me apart lisa" is such a raw line, you could read it in an ancient greek tragedy or a hardcore yaoi doujinshi but actually it's from the room

While people are inclined to whip out their phones and film when they see something alarming happening, those videos are not always recorded in a way that can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding or to support advocacy tactics.
At the human rights organization WITNESS, where I work as the senior U.S. program coordinator, we’ve learned that video has a greater chance of making an impact when it’s filmed ethically and strategically, and released in coordination with advocacy and legal efforts. Using the camera in your pocket can be a valuable way to ensure the world bears witness to abusive policing and systemic racism, help hold authorities accountable, and advocate for the real safety of our communities.
