#Bonjour! I need the help of someone who is located in #Paris, to go into the Cimetière Montmarte and take a couple of photos for me.
The De la Cruz family tombstone is in division 21, ligne 2/65, on the Avenue Cordier. I'm happy to offer 20 EUR to anyone who can get me some good snapshots of it.

Spain has asked the European Union to recognize Basque, Catalan, and Galician as official EU languages.

I’m researching Mastodon accounts with huge follower numbers and looking for help.
In the US George Takei has over 400000 followers, in Germany Eugen Rochko has over 300000 and Jan Böhmermann nearly 200000, in the UK Stephen Fry has over 100000.
Know any other big accounts? Any over 500K? Any in #Asia? Who's big in #France, or #Spain, or #Italy, or #Argentina? Who is the most followed woman? Did most of them take their followers from Twitter?
I apologise if my timeline for the next week is filled with landscapes and scenes from the mountains of the Picos de Europa. I have only just been able to get the images off camera (I know, I'm a bit old school that way!).

The company knows octopuses are highly intelligent and feel pleasure, pain, joy and fear, but this is their way of turning a huge #profit. Now they’re being slammed by #scientists and the #media – and if enough of us add to the pressure right now we can stop them.
