I can't get over this. The Chinese paddlefish survived for 190 MILLION YEARS. It survived the mass extinction event that killed off the dinosaurs. It had existed on Earth for almost one thousand times longer than Homo Sapiens - yet we destroyed it, forever.

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened
🚨JobAlert 🚨Are you a childcare, pre-k, or reception teacher interested in having an impact on the early childhood system in the UK? @nesta_uk launched a paid, part-time, 3 month residency for early years professionals to shape and deliver the Fair Start strategy to reach 1000s.

Zelensky addressing the Russian people in Russian now: “Today I initiated a phone call with the president of the Russian Federation. The result was silence, though the silence should be in the Donbas. As a result I want to address all citizens of Russia…
Activists with painted clothes in protest against the J. Marion Sims statue in New York. Known as the “father of modern gynaecology” he performed torturous experimental surgeries on enslaved black women without consent/anaesthesia. The statue was removed #BlackHistoryMonth
Live look at #VoterSuppression in Alabama. Big arrow telling me to fill out the card. What’s the card? Oh, just a form to take me off the voter rolls. 🙃
Our economy cannot fully recover until we have the full participation of women in the workforce. The President’s proposed investments in universal pre-K & affordable childcare are vital to our economic resurgence.
When imagining the past, people tend to forget that a huge portion of the population was made up of children — playing, learning, getting into mischief, & sometimes even making art. Here are a few lovely & lively examples of children's art from the historical record 🧵 1/
