After the #TeslaTakedown protest in Tucson today, a group went to the iconic "a mountain" and hung an upside down flag
Hanging upside down flags on local iconic landmarks should happen everywhere. After the one in Yosemite on El Capitan, the meaning is widely recognized. It is an easily reproducible meme-action.
@Mikal is that the place with rock art at the top?
Maybe? I've never heard of any, but it also wouldn't surprise me.
@Mikal the place I am thinking of has a lab where Paul Martin (the megafauna guy) used to work. He took me up to the top as a nice place to eat our lunch and showed me the petroglyphs. If there is a lab he could have worked at (at about 9 o'clock) then there should be petroglyphs at the top. This was 1989 or thereabouts, so likely the A was not there.
That's Tumamoc Hill, the slightly larger hill adjacent to it. I got to interview Paul many years ago for a small project. Just recently got a tour of the lab and the collection up there. Lots of amazing work happened out of that lab! Didn't know there was petroglyphs up there.
@Mikal That's a bit of my thing. But he took me up there because it was a nice place to go and we were talking extinction. He was one of the nicest people in the broadly defined disciplines I have belonged to. I asked him about his polio once and he said that he had found that there are many more people/giants whose shoulders you can stand on if you are nice to them. Great contribution.
