For #NarionalDolphinDay 🐬:
#Dolphin Pendant, c.1600 (#Baroque)
Netherlandish (?) artist
gold, enamel, emeralds, pearls, H: 3 5/8 in. (9.2 cm)
The Walters Art Museum 44.443
“This wonderfully flamboyant design is close to the model on the title page of the second part of Hans Collaert's stunning series of pendant designs published in Antwerp in 1582: ‘Virtuosic Designs for Golden Ornaments.’ In the engraving, it is the god Apollo riding a sea monster, but the similarities remain strong.”

National Dolphin Day
Visit an aquarium or ocean, watch Flipper, or read all about the different species of dolphins to celebrate these smart, fun, and unique marine mammals.
Dolphins warm our hearts when we see them because they always seem like they’re so happy to see us! These energetic, playful porpoises provide not only joy for people but also help protect the marine ecosystem that is our ocean waters.
National Dolphin Day is a day dedicated to dolphins, aimed at educating people about dolphins and how they help protect the oceans.
Learn about National Dolphin Day
National Dolphin Day has been created so that we can all pay tribute to this amazing mammal. Dolphins are incredibly intelligent creatures, as well as being wonderfully sociable. You may have even had the opportunity to swim with dolphins before, and so you will have experienced first-hand just how amazing these creatures are.
Dolphins are related to porpoises and whales. They are cetacean mammals, which can be as small as four-feet in size or as big as 30-feet. This is because there are many different species of dolphins. These mammals also prefer shallower seas, which is why there are plenty of opportunities for us to marvel over their beauty.
If you spend some time reading up on dolphins on National Dolphin Day, we are sure that you will be amazed by some of the information that you find. Did you know that dolphins have an in-built sonar? Dolphins use echolocation to navigate and locate their food. They essentially “see” the sound, as noise bounces off the dolphin’s surroundings and various objects. Bats also have this superpower as well!
There are plenty of other exciting and interesting facts about dolphins. We would recommend spending some time learning more about the different species of dolphins. A lot of people assume that all dolphins look the same, but this is not the case. There are around 40 different dolphins species. Some dolphins are pink, some are white and black, some have no fin on their back whereas others do, and some have no beak! As you can see, there are a lot of differences, and so it is certainly fascinating to learn about the various types of dolphins.
One of our favorite facts about dolphins is that they call each other names! And no; we don’t mean nasty names! Scientists have discovered that dolphins refer to each other by a given name.
History of National Dolphin Day
Listed under the AVMA’s Pet Health Awareness Events, National Dolphin Day celebrates the beauty of dolphins. Dolphins exist at the top of the food chain and provide a balance to the marine environment.
They give marine biologists a good look into the current health of the ocean. There are over 40 species of dolphins out there in the wild. Dolphins are highly intelligent mammals that are part of the toothed whale family, which also includes orcas and pilot whales.
Dolphins give birth tail first, have built-in sonar, and use their blubber as a heating and cooling system for their bodies. While the most famous dolphin is the bottlenose dolphin, there are also dolphins that live in freshwater, such as the Amazon river dolphin.
Others include the Ganges river dolphin, and Indus river dolphin, all of which primarily reside in the rivers of the region’s forests. Dolphins also have one of the most complex languages in the animal kingdom. Dolphins have even been known to refer to others by a given name.
National Dolphin Day celebrates the uniqueness of these porpoise creatures out in the ecosystem. It aims to educate people about the behavior of dolphins and spread the love for these joyful creatures. Whether you’re on vacation in the tropics or are visiting an oceanarium, this is the time to head over to the dolphins and say hi.
These creatures can help provide a better understanding of humans. Though they exhibit different behaviors and look hugely different, they remind us of our social, friendly behavior they exhibit.
How to celebrate National Dolphin Day
Celebrate this day by learning more about these fantastic creatures. Take the time to learn the difference between each species and make a comparison. If you know someone or are someone who loves dolphins, host a dolphin themed party.
Buy yourself or your friend a dolphin stuffie and save enough money to go on a vacation trip out to the ocean. Once there you can enjoy these creatures in person. Share this holiday with your friends and family and support your nonprofit organization to help keep these creatures and the marine ecosystem alive.
If you can afford to, it would be great to adopt a dolphin on National Dolphin Day. It is extremely sad to learn about the thousands of bottlenose dolphins that die each year because they accidentally drown in fishing nets. Adopting a dolphin can make a massive difference, as it enables the WWF to do more work to keep dolphins safe. This includes funding projects and working with fishing fleets so that sustainable use of the sea is promoted. When you adopt a dolphin, you will get a fact pack, as well as an adorable dolphin soft toy. You also receive a personalized adoption certificate, as well as regular updates.
You can also spend National Dolphin Day spreading awareness about these amazing creatures. Take to social media and share some dolphin photos, as well as some interesting facts about these mammals. You can encourage your followers, friends, and family members to adopt a dolphin as well. Plus, we can all do our bit to help protect the oceans. The main step that we need to take as a society is to stop using single-use plastics. You could also honor National Dolphin Day by joining a community or beach clean up?

For #NationalDolphinDay 🐬:
Hookah Base in the Shape of a Dolphin
Mughal India, 17th century
cast brass, 16.5 x 13cm
The Khalili Collections MTW 1500
“Smoking was introduced into the Mughal empire at the end of Akbar’s reign, when Asad Beg, one of his noblemen, brought tobacco and hookahs, or waterpipes, back from Bijapur in the Deccan. Asad Beg reported that tobacco was well known at Mecca and Medina and presented Akbar with a fine jewelled pipe with a mouthpiece of Yemeni carnelian. Although Akbar’s physician forbade him to smoke, the fashion for hookahs soon caught on and, as in Iran, various objects were adapted to hold the scented water through which the tobacco smoke passed. These included coconuts and various types of glass vessel, including bottles in which Dutch gin was exported, as well as spherical containers shaped like Indian waterpots [see MTW 1558]. These rested on rings or collars so that they stood upright. In addition, small hand-held hookah bases were made, some in the shape of mangoes or other fruit, or even in animal form and, as in this case, a dolphin.”

(sorry this is from a week ago but) Wait, what's going on right now that's complicated with Amazonian farmers' land rights?
Not farmers, indigenous people
See, recently they put a new law through congress that severely reduces indigenous land to the borders established during the late dictatorship, or immediately post-dictatorship, in 1988. An absolute joke of a border that was dreamed up by some military assholes. People in america may recognize this type of society from the times of westward expansion and think this is a thing of the past because for you guys it is. But here it is a reality. Murder is rampant. The reach of the law is incredibly limited. Government is just too weak and landowners basically run things. THAT'S WHY it's so important to donate directly to the native peoples instead of random NGOs because native people are fucking there and the more power they hold in the land the safer the land will be from agroindustrial expansion.
Well the law was vetoed by the the president and the Supremo Tribunal Federal, aka supreme federal court, labeled it as unconstitutional. Which it is, because our 1988 constitution describes native american land rights in some of its first articles. We thought this would be it for the law
But then the senate (that already overrepresents landowners in rural states) just went along and approved it anyway. I had no idea they could approve something unconstitutional. The progressives and particularly the socialists are fighting this in court. But it happens that for now the legal border is the severely reduced version.
Doesn't mean they'll just give up, because as it happens we don't have any stand your ground laws so even if you own a piece of land, you cannot legally speaking just shoot everyone there. Or attack or threaten them in any way. They'll just have long legal battles individually for the rights to occupy land based on use. Also the Xingu national park, the largest preserved land of the Amazon described as 'larger than Belgium', is being encroached by huge farms that are poisoning their water supply. The border is Visible. I'll try to find video of it but essentially you have a forest and a desert separated by a strict line.
Just last week in the south of Bahia (not the Amazon, let me explain more about the Amazon situation in a bit) Hãhãhãe leadership Nega Muniz Pataxó was shot and killed by an armed militia group that invaded and occupied the Caramuru territory.
instagram
The situation in the Amazon, specifically the yanomami territory in Roraima our northernmost state, aka deep forest, is more dire than average given difficulty of access, sheer size, and government abandonment. It's a place that depends on government aid for medicine. It's land that is being systematically invaded by gold miners, pandemic, toxins from nearby farmlands, wood extraction etc. (wood extration is rampant everywhere tho). Early 2023 saw a massive federal government operation by now president Lula to empty the mines and try to look for where funding comes from. Yanomami land is still being invaded to this day, the struggle is ongoing.
The yanomamis need support right now more than any other. Last year saw a massive heat wave that (well, one, caused a girl named Ana Clara Machado to die during the Taylor Swift concert. This is unrelated but I feel like not enough foreign media covered this, Taylor even lied about it as well.) dried up a lot of rivers, killed a LOT of fresh water animals including an unprecedented amount of pink dolphins. Access that was already hard became damn near impossible without boats. I cannot overstate how many pink dolphins were found dead.
Another technique that landowners use to clear space for farms is to just set things on fire and then occupy the empty land, which they legally can do to land that was naturally burned in a forest fire. It happened that Pantanal, another national park of swampland, was massively devastated by fires last year too
this article is from 2020, the year that the worst fire happened, but in 2023 there was another one. It's been happening yearly now due to a) deliberate action and b) climate change aggravation.
And this is not nearly all. Just off the top of my head. If you speak portuguese I recommend following the APIB or the COIAB on instagram to keep up with the news. The FUNAI is the government branch of indigenous organization, but it's not generally that well liked. Still.
