In Namibia’s Etosha National Park, elephants often appear ghostly white—covered in a layer of pale clay and calcite dust from the park’s dry, mineral-rich landscape. These mud baths help them cool off in the scorching 40°C heat while offering protection from the sun and parasites. The result is a surreal and striking look that makes them seem like creatures from another world.

This powerful moment was captured by Anja Denker, a renowned wildlife photographer whose work showcases the raw beauty and wonder of Africa’s wildlife.

important to state for the record that the British Supreme Court are idiots

they sound very scary when you describe them as The Supreme Court but remember, these are five dusty old cishets, one of whom is a weirdo who used to write homophobic documents for the Church of Scotland. I've seen so much commentary, even from pro-trans british journalists, about how the ruling is "forensic" and "balanced" and "rational" - no it isn't, it's clearly the work of people who don't know what they're talking about. You know how I know? They accidentally defined all bi women as lesbians. They said that the legal test for a lesbian is being an AFAB person attracted to another AFAB person, and at no point did anyone go, "Hang on a second, what about bi people?" Congratulations to terfs I guess, you were so excited to get rid of the T you got rid of the B!

This ruling is exactly what you'd expect from locking five old straight people in a room and asking them to set rules for queer life without speaking to any queer people. Their judgement is silly legal word games and it has no relation to real people's actual lives - if you wanna use lawyerspeak they've "undermined public confidence in the legal system." It's not even "the emperor has no clothes," it's "the emperor is naked and covered in shit."

i can kinda understand that politicians need to make a show of respect in their tone, like okay, probably a good thing that politicians don't get into the habit of publicly undermining judges. But any journalist who treats this ruling as remotely sensible is daft - only a straight person could make that kind of mistake

These judges are idiots - I use the word in the classical greek sense of someone who is not connected to and does not understand the life of the public, of the people. Their judgement is laughable and we don't have to respect them

Anyone trying to sell you on a big society change all in one go is either lying to you or to themselves. The rapture, the revolution, the singularity, whatever they call it - it sounds good in novels and thats it.

What do I, a prison abolitionist, want to see done with domestic abusers (and for that matter, other violent criminals)? I don't know yet - in many ways I can't know yet, as we haven't got society to the point we can reasonably generate an understanding of the alternatives.

Progress is iterative. First we have to work on reducing non-violent offenders in prisons, in creating systems such as social support that works alongside police, of preventing prisons being run for profit and encouraging programs of rehabilitation. Its a process and it isn't as easy as just holding to "all prisons and cops should be abolished" so people online who talk theory but don't really do praxis aren't as keen on it, but there are people out there doing the ground work.

Maybe in a decade or more we'll have a good answer for you.

i have actually never seen a prison/police abolitionist give a reasonable alternative for domestic violence victims, not even once :|

tramell tillman deserves an emmy for delivering the line “did you tell her you fucked her outie at the ORTBO?” without laughing. like that is a nonsense sentence. a high school ass threat. and he made it sound properly mean. truly acting chops the likes of which television has rarely seen

“Hozier is a lesbian” “Hozier is a man written by a woman” “Hozier is like if a man was raised by lesbian mothers” “Hozier is like if a man was a woman” quick give me one reason why a man can’t be soft and gentle and poetic and in love without sounding like a terf or a misogynist
