A Giant Sea Spider (genus Colossendeis), also known as a pycnogonid, found on the deep seafloor at depths between 2,200 and 4,000 meters. 🌊🦀

While some species are small, those in the deep ocean can grow over 50 cm (20 inches) across due to deep-sea gigantism.

🚨 TOMORROW — March 28th — we flood the streets and say it loud:

NO KINGS.

No crowns.

No one above the law.

No surrender to autocracy.

We show up, stand together, and remind them who this country belongs to.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.

This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.

It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

A message to America: we are not your enemy Last night, the US launched an all-out assault on the "global censorship industrial complex", I respond with some deep breaths, solidarity and a vibey video (it's all I have)

NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.

It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.
