Hey everyone, I am glad to share that I have reached a settlement with the British Museum! Thank you so, so much for your support throughout this. Here's my update on the matter: yilinwang.com/qiu-jin-britis…

It’s throwback Thursday – did you miss your episode with @mulutmata? @GylesB1 and @AphraBrandreth journey of discovery leads them to South East Asia where they delve into the vibrant world of Malaysian poetry: commonwealthpoetrypodcast.co.uk/episodes/episo…

Simona Kossak (1943-2007) Polish biologist, ecologist, author, PhD in forestry, and uncompromising conservation activist They called her a witch because she chatted with animals and owned a crow, who stole gold and attacked bicycle riders. She spent more than 30 years in a wooden hut in the Białowieża Forest, without electricity or access to running water. A lynx slept in her bed, and a tamed boar lived under the same roof with her. She was a scientist, ecologist, and the author of award-winning films, as well as radio broadcasts. She was also an activist who fought for the protection of Europe’s oldest forest. Simona believed that one ought to live simply, and close to nature. Among animals, she found that which she never found with humans. Photo Lech Wilczek.

A great Irish poet and singer left us today. She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time. Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor. Rest easy Sinéad.

3 years ago... Ghost of Tsushima came out for PS4 🔥🔥🔥 What would you rate it ?/10 👀

Incredible video. Afghan dad jokingly says school is only for boys. Watch his remarkable daughter - who can’t be more than 5 or 6 years old - respond with these arguments. Afghan girls have been denied access to schools and universities. This little girl's courage represents the collective voice of countless Afghan girls who yearn for equal educational opportunities. As an advocate for girls' education the father's teasing is simply to highlight an important message: that the Taliban - another backward regime - are harming the people of his country. It’s time the world is done with them. Ditto the “Islamic” Republic in Iran #regime
