On the way to my swim, finally dropped off something with an extended family member. There's a nice polite note with it explaining i won't be acting as drop off person any more. This will hopefully end some really petty family drama.

Though who knows? Drama lamas gotta drama. If they want something to get offended over, they'll find it.

And i haven't texted them to let them know it's been dropped at their front door because i just don't want to get into it. Just so done.

And really don't want it taking up storage space in my head.

Sorry to be a bit cryptic. Not trying to vaguepost (vaguetoot? 😂). Only being cautious about details because this city is still a small country town at times.

Was lovely (and unusual) to hear some people at another cafe table speaking French. No idea what they were saying since my French language skills aren't up to much. But it makes such a beautiful sound.

Off to scavenge some lunch somewhere before some errands (this place ok for coffee but not my fave for food).

@AnnonBudgie yeah. Similar. Though think i've been away long enough that no one knows that much about me personally but you can never be too sure who knows whom.

Europe's far right is growing in both Eastern and Western Europe. Economic crisis, austerity, and historical revisionism are contributing factors with decades of austerity, deindustrialization, and corporate domination having devastated working-class communities.

Meanwhile, pervasive anti-communism, encouraged at the EU level, is distorting history and delegitimizing socialism as a viable alternative.

The image shows a screenshot of a Wikipedia page about "Fête de la Musique," an annual music celebration. The top of the screen displays the time as 23:45, with a battery level of 90%, and a search bar labeled "Search Wikipedia." Below the search bar, there is a large image of a stained glass window with a group of musicians performing. The text on the page explains that Fête de la Musique, also known as Music Day or World Music Day, takes place on June 21. It describes the event as a celebration where citizens and residents are encouraged to play music in public spaces and parks, with free concerts organized where musicians play for fun and not for payment. The page includes options to save, change language, find in article, adjust theme, and access contents.
