First known omnivorous shark species identified!

The Bonnethead shark (Sphyrna tiburo), is a species of hammerhead that is abundant in critical seagrass habitats.

Recent research on the stomach and digestive physiology of these sharks have shown that they consume lots of seagrass (up to 62.1% of gut content mass) and have specialised enzymes for digesting plant material (cellulose).

Remember the TERF group that
spent £40,000 on a full page ad attacking trans rights in the Metro newspaper, which was apparently funded by US-based conservative Christian groups?

Now they’re boasting on fb about encouraging random men and “gangs of lads” to commit violence against trans women.

TERFs will claim in one breath to be against male violence, while with the other they incite this very same violence against the women they hate.

handing out propaganda to men and encouraging them to enact violence upon already oppressed people in order to supposedly “protect their wives and children”… not like that’s such a common and exclusive tactic of reactionary hate groups that it’s a hallmark of fascist organising or anything 😬

TERFs aren’t just silly internet weirdos with regressive beliefs; they’re a hate group with a very clear mission statement in removing trans people totally from the public sphere if not eradicating them entirely. Their politics are inherently violent and they will seek to enact that violence whenever they get the chance.

It’s not just internet discourse. This shit has a bodycount and they’re looking to increase it.

Hoa Hakananai’a, a sacred moai for Rapa Nui -or Easter Island- was stolen 150 years ago by Richard Powell, captain of HMS Topaze, and given to Queen Victoria as a gift, and was then given to the British Museum. And now, the Easter Island community wants it back.

The authorities of Rapa Nui, together with the Chilean government, have requested the return of the moai. But the authorities of the British Museum, decided not to return the usurped moai, but to give back a polystyrene replica.

Hoa Hakananai’a, means “the stolen or hidden friend” in rapanui, and is unique because of its basalt composition. Rapa Nui community believe that Hoa Hakananai’a

emit a spiritual force that protects the island.
