A new Talking Statue has gone live in Canada at Banting House National Historic . Visitors can scan a QR code on Sir Frederick Banting’s statue and hear directly from the Nobel laureate himself—voiced by award-winning Canadian actor R.H. Thomson

A new talking statue will start on October 12th. It's Nobel prize winner JJR Mcleod. Co-inventor of insulin. Actor David Rintoul performs the professor. It is in Aberdeen, Scotland. Can't wait to hear what Mcleod has to say! #talkingstatues #jjrmcleod #aberdeen #scotland

Yes, Pride Month is over, but our #LGBTQ history is evergreen. So have a listen to my interview on the Smut Drop podcast from Metro UK and the article that goes along with it. Not exactly smutty, but it was a fun conversation about @MakingGayHistry. metro.co.uk/2023/06/30/eric-…

Another quick history lesson for @nytimes and all journalists covering LGBTQ issues who are tempted to call the Stonewall uprising the "place where Pride began," or the "starting point for the modern gay rights movement," etc. A simple fact sheet: stonewall50consortium.org/st…

Diversity is beautiful. Diversity makes us stronger.
Biodiversity includes all living things. From bears, fish and humans, to lichen, invertebrates and algae, the land, air, and waters of Lake Clark are teeming with diverse life.

For the first time, a statue begins to speak in Scotland.
It is John J.R. Macleod who helped discover insulin in 1922. The actor will be Scottish film actor David Rintoul (Game of Thrones, The Crown, Dr Finlay), . #Aberdeen #DavidRintoul #JJRMacleod #Scotland #insulin

Yesterday we kicked off Pride Month by decking out Christopher Park in her finest colors—rainbow, of course! So grateful to gay liberation activist & icon Randy Wicker for raising the Progress flag with us. 🏳️🌈✨

Sometimes the revolution is just us and our friends, deciding now is the moment we “do something!” 🌈✊ #HappyPride

@RisingAppleBlog @BaseballBoyle @lmcshanenydn Maybe RisingApple can help. Gerald Cohen & I solved the Big Apple, which is now 100 years old. Through @TalkingStatues, we'd like to see a Mets announcer explain the Home Run Apple & Big Apple story.
