[...] Souillure microscopique dans les creusements de nos représentations : ne pas oublier que tout objet porte son histoire de sang. Ne pas oublier que toute image est un objet de sang. Même tache du sang des autres, même trace indélébile dans l’invisible. Dans ta drogue, dans ta nourriture, dans ton divertissement. Du sang, sans limites. Du sang par nécessité. Ce qui est lointain n’a que le visage du lointain. On fait de la consommation un holocauste des fantômes. Tout brûle jusqu’au dedans de nos gestes de cendre.

A truly perfect composition in the context of #pacifism - what could go wrong here? 🤔

  • young, posh girls posing with pacifist banners and friendly smiles somewhere in #Germany
  • a column of aggressive middle-aged, likely drunk men driving old cars with with sticker “TO BERLIN FOR GERMAN WOMEN!!!” somewhere in #Russia

Banners in German:

  • Peace instead of war, Freedom instead of compulsory military service
  • You won’t fight our brother

it's worth fighting (!) for societies which generate images like the first. yes there's an inherent contradiction.

Absolutely frustrating. I picked up my Accurascale Pannier tank that I ordered last year from my neighbour, got it out of the box to find it was DCC fitted. Win, free decoder! I had ordered a sound decoder last week as I now fancied sound since paying for it in January, but it seems the speakers fitted to the model are duds. So no sound.

Now I’m going to have to return the thing, having waited so long for it.

It's back in the box, ready to be sent back when I can. While it'd work fine if I didn't want sound, the fact I do now and can't is pretty annoying. #ModelRailway

The Weird Spectacle of the World Cup Draw


At the event, the matchups seemed beside the point, eclipsed by FIFA’s bizarre Peace Prize ceremony for Donald Trump and other cringey moments.

This is worth a read. The Irish NGS (National Gender Service) for trans healthcare is a hidden national scandal. After 18 months here I'm yet to hear a single good thing from anyone about it ... basically everyone is doing DIY HRT or paying private.

In fact the more I know the more I feel it should actually be the called the LPS or Licensed Perverts Service based on the psychs, but draw your own conclusions (a covert recording has been publically released of one session)

The best thing that ever happened to me was two amazing public facing trans elders advising me to stay well away from the UK NHS GICs, for my own dignity and self/respect. I did, but this in Ireland - by all accounts - is far worse ...

That all sounds so familiar - I've heard the same story many times...
The system and those running it are absolutely not fit for purpose - those making decisions are downright creepy.

There are many reasons I didn't use the NGS and this is one - I'd never have got through it, I'd have called them out.
But many feel they have no option but to go through this...

And the person appointed to review the process? Well, he is one of them...🤬

in reply to Isabel

@IsabelB
I guess it's clearer to avoid the Irish NGS than the UK NHS. I still never know why anyone uses it but of course maybe not everyone is connected, or there is parental pressure. Hell some trans people even like rigid medical processes and to feel an "approved" version.

It boils my blood, every time I hear this stuff, that anyone who is trans should feel they have to tolerate what is essentially an abusive process.

Diagnosis and waitlists are abusive by design, period🔥

in reply to Natasha 🇪🇺

Especially harsh for trans masculine people, who have no diy option, as someone kindly mentioned on Reddit.



For my Irish compadres:

On December 17th your public representatives will likely choose NOT to ban fox hunting.

Almost 8 out of every 10 people across Ireland have chosen to ban fox hunting.

With current polling at:

24% Sinn Féin
20% Fianna Fáil
17% Fine Gael
8% Social Democrats
5% Labour
5% Aontú
5% Independent Ireland
3% PBP-Solidarity
2% Green Party

1/2

@nan_ano No…only 2% of population would vote for the Greens. They didn’t ban it when they were in government.

C'est très beau, tendre, poétique, mignon.
Plutôt pour les grands.

Les illustrations à l'aquarelle font penser à Sempé et aussi un peu à Catherine Meurisse (Les Grands espaces), c'est dire si c'est réussi.

Le format imposant à l'italienne permet de déployer les immenses paysages.

Petit bémol : c'est écrit petit, et les rares paroles, en typo manuelle sont en plus en gris, pas très lisibles.

the way that stuck with me is that if you earned one euro a second, it would take 12 days to earn a million euros, and 31 years to earn a billion.


over the past few days i was exploring how terminal apps work (yes it's as bad as they say) to realize an idea i've had a while ago: a terminal ui for plitki, my vsrg engine. likely not the first term vsrg, but nevertheless my own.

how bad would it be, quantized to the terminal grid? surprisingly, with the right block characters, not too bad.

ofc being plitki, there's full support for all kinds of SV
