Trees burn during a fire in Martigues at night.
#France #wildfires @photography group @photography

A sunrise above the mountains. The rays of the sun are shining on some fields with several trees. In front of the fields is a road that makes a turn to the left and you can just make out a person walking on it.
A photo taking from the top of the old city wall in Saint Jean Pied de Port. The wall is to the right and to the left, below, are gardens with behind them a row of houses.
A raised stone with the symbol of the Camino de Santiago (a stylized scallop shell) and below it the name Navarra as well as the Basque name Nafarroa. Behind it is some grass and heath and a path leading into the fog to the right.
A path on a grassy hill. Below green fields surrounded by trees are visible and in the distance you can see the Pyrenees. The sky is cloudy.
A church in the early morning, when the sun is just starting to rise and the sky is still very dark blue. The door of the church is open and light is streaming out of it.
A selfie of a white person wearing a cap and a bright blue rain jacket and backpack. She is wearing ear buds and smiling. She is standing on a road between saome fields.
A farm building or industrial building with a large mural on it. In the middle is a red door with the coat of arms of Navarra on it. To the left and right are green hills with a blue sky. To the left is the text "Welcome to the Basque country. Feel the culture". That last sentence is written in several languages. To the right of the door are two people holding up a flag and a person playing an instrument.
A stone emergency shelter in the fog. There is a sort of antenna attached to it and a person is peeking out of the door.
A river with a stone bridge across it. To the left and right are white buildings with red roofs and shutters. In the front to the left is a red restaurant with lots of glass looking out on the river.
A path going down a hill with more hills and mountains in the distance. The sky is grey and some mountains in the distance are partially covered my clouds and mist. In the distance are some sheep on a hill and to the right, below are some farm buildings.

Pelicot's landmark case led to reforms in France's rape laws after she bravely testified about enduring a decade of sexual abuse.

Thanks to Trump, the United States will soon lose its dominance in science and technology. Some American researchers have already left because of funding cuts and attacks on universities.

Dock #workers in #France, #Greece & #Italy are refusing to load military equipment destined for #Israel. A #genocide requires a lot of logistics/resources, so much so that all levels of society are involved. Be there and be counted when it creeps into your meetings, your procurement reviews, your accounting, orders, shifts, artistic opportunities...

Worker-led actions to block military and dual-use cargo to Israel continue across Europe, defying government support for occupation and genocide.

🧵 Traditional costumes today divide opinion: some see them as a supposed idyll of the ‘good old days’, others find them old-fashioned and reject them. During summer, we we take a look behind the scenes, scrutinise the history and marvel at the restoration of originals. As always more info in alt texts + thread!

A traditional protestant bride's costume from Northern Alsace, Presented by a woman from the Hunspach folklore group (photographed with permission). The skirt, top and waistcoat, as well as the scarf at the neck are black; silver embroidery was only permitted on the scarf and at the sides. The hair is plaited and pinned up. The bride wears a head-covering ‘crown’ of colourful flowers and glass beads. The same artificial arrangement wraps around the upper arms like a suit of armour. Originally, the flowers were handmade from silk and the beads were mouth-blown. For events, they are replaced by imitations like these made of fabric and coloured plastic, as the real crowns would be too valuable.
The back of the bride's head and shoulders showing the plaited hair and the crown formed like a half very wide headband. The scarf is embroidered with silver - in floral patterns. The traditional patterns like the tree of life, flowers, or ears of grain were symbols for fertility. These scarves were the only decoration for robes that was allowed for married women by protestants in that region.
A designer waistcoat that takes up the traditional men's waistcoat shape with a close-fitting parallel row of silver buttons on black and a buttoned lapel. Unlike the old waistcoats, however, the right-hand row of buttons is irregularly reduced to 3 buttons and sthe right side is sewn from red, black and white Kelsch chequered fabric. In older times, Kelsch was reserved for women and household laundry. Crèation by Thibaut Heck.
A long designer robe made of a precious fabric with red floral patterns on black ground. It's armless, the top is tight-fitting with a waist, the skirt is wide. Two parallel rows of silver buttons go from the top until the knees, the lapel is buttoned. Pastors would have condemned a woman for such a dress in the 1950s. Because the traditional red fabric and the cut with the buttons were only permitted for men to wear on their waistcoats.

And they all fear for their families and deportation in their home country. "Some declined to speak to the media, while others asked that their full names not be used, offering a hint of how the Trump administration’s actions are sowing anxiety among academics."
