Boosting the signal Originally shared by Alicia Smith If you can count, you can help save lives. Hi there, We're putting the Antigua dataset on hold for the moment so that we can cover an urgent need from Rescue Global: basic information about building density in Puerto Rico. Even before post-Maria images come in, we can make maps of population density and expected damage for Rescue Global, but we need more accurate and up-to-date building information than we currently have available. So this dataset is a bit different than the others: we are only using "Before" images, taken in the past few months, and we are only asking the first question we've been asking of the other datasets: how many buildings do you see? We're hoping we can get through this quickly, so we're keeping the question to just basic categories of image counts instead of, for example, asking people to spend more time marking individual buildings. With your help, we can use this information to m...

Via Brent M An important read, and sadly reflected in so many other industries. Originally shared by Charles “Chip” Payet This isn't a post about a beautiful photo, but this rant by a woman photographer on FB deserves to be shared. It certainly doesn't apply only to female photographers; I'm sure that women in practically every field can commiserate, and the fact that this is still true in 2017 depresses me. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154767863516714&id=601476713

I cannot add anything to this. It is both wonderful and heartbreaking. Thankyou, Lordy​ for sharing it with us. Originally shared by Lordy A young friend of ours had a younger sibling. I say had, because his sibling took their own life rather than face the continued bullshit this world offered them as a transgender person. He made a post the other day on his FB account that hit a few nerves .. His original post as follows.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I really fucking wish that if this arsehole postal vote has to be a thing that it would see everyone who voted no have THEIR rights to marriage removed and any who are already married annulled permanently. Want to fuck up strangers lives so you can proudly hold your bigotry high? Then you can reap what you sow and spend the rest of your life having its decisions made people who hate you even though it doesnt affect them. Seeing as thats what you wanted afterall. ...

Not something I would have picked for #autoawesome animation, but I think it works surprisingly well, and is certainly dramatic!

"...and a star to steer her by" South Mole Beacon, stars, and Gauge Roads beacons on the horizon. Another single-frame shot.

"Due South" Using Crux and the 'Pointers' (Rigel Kentaurus and Agenda) is the easiest way to find the South Celestial Pole. The remarkable thing about this shot is that it is a single frame image - no stacking, no tracking, just a static tripod. Shot on South Mole, Fremantle, as a consolation for missing out on getting an aurora sighting.

Ahh... the joys of propaganda. Don't argue the question, argue the fear. Originally shared by Lev Lafayette I'm shocked to discover that the 'No' campaign is entirely based around arguing about issues not actually about the survey in an attempt to manipulate people. Who would have thought that they would stoop so low? Secret documents reveal the No campaign's strategy to manipulate you Step 1: talk about freedom. Step 2: talk about the children. Step 3: mention the 260 genders that will result from a Yes vote. We’ve been told many times that the marriage equality plebiscite isn’t actually actually about same-sex marriage at all. Instead, what it’s “really” about is political correctness, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, gender fluidity, boys in dresses and potential marriage to national monuments. This is not accidental. As a Crikey spy has found out, it’s the No campaign’s central strategy. Our tipster got curious after seeing a link to the website of No cam...

Via Lisa Cohen​ Originally shared by Ari Marmell Have I just been making false assumptions? Having grown up as a Jew whose grandparents were all Eastern European immigrants, I know that I was educated in the horrors and specifics of the Holocaust more so than your average American child, but I just assumed everyone was taught enough to understand just who and what the Nazis were. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe part of the problem we're facing today is that many people don't understand the term. They just think of it as having a nebulous "bad guy" meaning. Or at worst, "somewhat militant racist." So I'm going to try this without screaming, just speaking. The Nazi doctrine has, at its core, not just white supremacy, but the subjugation and annihilation of "lessers." They don't just want to be in power, they want to lock away or kill everyone not like them. People of color, queer people, disabled people, Jews, Muslims. They want to KILL US. And it...
