Workers smelled gas.

Bosses did nothing.

Workers died.

In a just world, bosses would lose more than money for this depraved indifference.

#gardening #plants I wanted to give my *white* flower pot a quick wash because it had soil all over it… turns out I bought a brown pot. The joys of buying second hand! 😅

After witnessing a white doctor refuse to treat a sick, elderly Native American woman who later died, Susan LaFlesche Picotte decided to become a physician to help her people. Born in 1865, she grew up on Nebraska’s Omaha reservation.

In 1889, Picotte became the first female Native American to earn a medical degree in the U.S. She raised funding & opened Wathill Hospital in 1913 - the first private hospital on a reservation. drsusancenter.org/dr-susan #HistoryRemix #history #science

Fall Ploughing
There are parts of the world where this scene would be quite common. This is not one of them. I spotted this old man and his team as they were ploughing his field. I was so excited to see them and appreciated that in view of the fact that this task is seldom done like this any longer and the great age of the farmer, this was a special moment, to be savoured.

“I am so happy to have finally got this shot. It has taken me all winter. I have had so many difficulties; frozen equipment, blurry photos through ice, battery issues, flash placements and flare, clouds(!), cats’n’dogs, wind blowing everything over, night exposure, and the list goes on. So you can imagine my excitement and disbelief this morning when I found this on my card! Thank you beautiful Mrs fox, you get an Oscar.”

If you're wondering what the rainbow pentagon thing is that a lot of accounts use, it's the Fediverse logo :fediverse:

It's a public domain / CC0 design, its original designer shared a high quality copy at commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil

It represents all the different server types that make up the Fediverse.

(Note: There can be no official logo on the Fediverse as there's no central authority to make anything official. However, this logo is by far the most widely used one.)
