Congratulations, Rosa do Povo #Samba School
'Founded in August 2025, the samba school “Rosa do Povo” was created to give visibility to peripheral communities in Curitiba and its metropolitan region, bringing Black and Indigenous identity, ancestry, and shared struggle to the center of the parade avenue'
'researchers from the University of Papau, spoke with local elders from the Tambrauw and Maybrat clans - some of whom have only had contact with the modern world since the 1960s.
Identification of the species would not have been possible without their help, according to Rika Korain, a Maybrat woman and another co-author.
"They're very traditional people," [who] regard the glider as so sacred that "not only won't they hunt it, they won't mention its name".'
Dark moon 🌚 is in the early hours of Thursday morning for us here.

The deep evolutionary basis for #homosexual behaviours, seen across 1500 species -- but which species and why? In #primates, same-sex behaviours are more likely in species inhabiting drier environments with increased food scarcity and predation pressure, in species with greater #sizedimorphism and longer #lifespans and in those with more #complex social structures and hierarchies.

The mass stranding and death of 55 pilot whales on the Isle of Lewis in 2023 was caused by the mammals’ loyalty to their pod, notably to a female having a difficult birth.
