💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🔍🏛️ A #study from the University of #Exeter shows that as early as the 1830s, a #London #realestate firm called Brooks and Hedger used cosmoramas to sell high-end estates.
A #cosmorama was a gallery of #paintings viewed through a magnifying lens, giving the illusion of depth and depth of field. Artists hand-painted bird’s-eye views of each listing, offering buyers an early “virtual tour” more than a century before the #internet.

Could ‘#zombielaws’ #strip #LGBTQ+ people of their rights, including #samesexmarriage?
After #Arizona revived an #1800s #law to #ban #abortion, fears grow that this #tactic might be used to threaten #LGBTQ+ rights if key #SupremeCourt #rulings are reversed.

I've read about #urbanGardens in the form of #rooftopGardens and #verticalGardens before, and I agree it's an awesome concept which I'd like to see more of.
Even just growing grass on #sodRoofs, as they used to do here in #Norway at least since the #1800s, and still is quite common on cabins, would make quite a difference: https://www.nibio.no/nyheter/mye-rart-p-norske-hyttetak
