This colossal Montezuma Cypress in Santa Maria del Tule, Mexico, with a girth of 35 metres, is said to be the thickest tree in the world. Its age is disputed but appears to be at least 1,000 years (photo: Cook/Jenschel, National Geographic) monumentaltrees.com/en/mex/o…

I hate doing this, but I am desperate for sales, as currently a few hundred pounds short of being able to cover my bills this month. Please, if you’ve ever thought about buying from me, now would be a great time. Even if all you can do is retweet this, I’d be so grateful (1/2)

A genuine request for help from everyone in the game. This video is from a great friend of mine and a huge positive influence on my life Eddie Hughes. He was the referee for a game where he blew the final whistle a few minutes too early and had to bring the players back out on to the pitch from the changing rooms after a lino pointed out his mistake. This was a top flight game in October 1978 @CPFC v @FulhamFC He has never seen the game and would love to get a copy of the match. He is 90 next year and I would love to give him a chance to watch the game for the first time. Any help from the media would be greatly appreciated.

So important. People act like climate change has just happened when in facts it’s been forced upon us by the richest people in the world. It’s the biggest and most deadly corporate scandal in history
Oil companies “shifted the guilt to people,” says Richard Wiles, head of @climatecosts. “Climate change is not a tragedy – it’s a crime that’s been forced upon [people] by the oil companies, who knew their products were going to do this and went ahead and lied about it anyway.”

OK, in the "WTF, artists can't tell me I'm not allowed to use a commission as user icon, can they?" discussion, there's one thing that might clarify the logic behind the "yes, they can" answer: Posting an image online is *publishing* it, like printing it in a magazine.
Common cases for personal vs commercial use of commissioned work 😊Personal Use: - Socmed PFP and banners - Desktop/mobile wallpaper - Getting it printed for *just yourself* - Using it in private ttrpg campaigns If you (client) aren't making money off of it, then it's fine* ( )

But people going "You commissioned it, you can do whatever you want!" are wrong. Copyright laws predate the internet, and posting someonething online is a lot more like printing it in a newspaper than sticking a printout of it on your homework folder.

Also, if you are an artist thinking "If they paid me to make the art, it belongs to them," please inform yourself about copyright. You're at risk of being ripped off, if the wrong person finds out about that.
