"I want to die on stage" is the romantic thought of every musician until they realize that most of what they can tentatively call a career will be spent in clubs that don't have stages, let alone stages big enough to hold the corpse of a grown man.

Did you know that a #book was banned in 3rd c. BCE for being just too #depressing?

Hegesias of Cyrene was an #ancient #Greek #philosopher from a hedonist school preceding Epicureanism.

He was so deeply convinced that our #goal should be to avoid #pain, that he felt that #death is rather desirable, as #life is never good.

#Cicero claims that Hegesias wrote a book called ‘Death by Starvation’ that was so bleak, that many readers #killed themselves.

It was subsequently banned.

ORCAS AND DOLPHINS DO NOT BELONG IN CAPTIVITY!

Keeping #dolphins, #orcas and other cetaceans in #captivity is cruel. Depriving them of the vast open spaces and social bonds that they would normally have in the wild, and confining them to small, concrete #tanks to perform tricks for dead fish is highly unethical for these complex marine mammals. No matter how sophisticated the enclosure, no man made facility can ever hope to replicate the wild world of dolphins and whales.

edict to resume to met with horror

The Taliban’s announcement that it is 🔥resuming publicly stoning women to death🔥 has been enabled by the international community’s silence, human rights groups have said.
Safia Arefi, a lawyer and head of the organisation 🔸Women’s Window of Hope🔸, said the announcement had condemned Afghan women to return to the darkest days of Taliban rule in the 1990s.

“With this announcement by the Taliban leader, a new chapter of private punishments has begun and Afghan women are experiencing the depths of loneliness,” Arefi said.

“Now, no one is standing beside them to save them from Taliban punishments. The international community has chosen to remain silent in the face of these violations of women’s rights.”
