Hello fediverse! Been meaning to introduce this account to you all! Offline is a collective space in #Berlin that has been running for the past year or so. It is an anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian artist & activist space that has already hosted over 100 events! Hopefully this account will be used for announcing various happenings and will be managed by a handful of different people.
There's a bit of info at offline.place but that is being worked on right now too ..

An Ancient Human Story About The Seven Sisters May Have Survived From 100000 BCE
"The similarity between the Aboriginal and Greek stories of the Pleiades and Orion includes three specific elements: both identify the Pleiades as a group of young girls, both identify Orion as male, and both say that Orion is attempting to have sex with the girls in the Pleiades."
The similarity between the two myths is intriguing, as there was almost no contact between European and indigenous Australian cultures from when their common ancestors left Africa around 100000 BCE until 1788 when the British invaded.

'A comprehensive evaluation of taxonomic classifiers in marine vertebrate eDNA studies'
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20โฆ
We realised there are not many papers evaluating taxonomic classifiers in marine vertebrate contexts, and none that use simulations or exclusion databases to measure false positives.
So we designed a bunch of simulations for commonly used primers of 12S, 16S, COI, and evaluated a whole bunch of classifiers on these datasets.

i just got crash blossomed by this headline
i know nothing about kristen stewart and assumed it was a quote about there being too many queer movies or something?
i parsed it like
the era of queer films being "so pointedly only" that is done
which makes no sense, but could be interpreted as "the era where all films have to be queer is over"
which still makes no sense, because we are sadly not in an era where all films are queer, but... ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Kristen Stewart on Queer Films: Don't Want to Stand on a Soapbox
While discussing her new film 'Love Lies Bleeding,' Kristen Stewart said she thinks the era of queer films 'being so pointedly only that is done.'Ellise Shafer (Variety)
@victor
she's saying:
the era of queer films being so pointedly only that ("that" being a queer film, to the exclusion of all other themes) is done
i.e. the era of queer films that are just queer films and not, say, queer action films, or queer drama films, is over
