in reply to George Takei 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

in a Democracy voting is an unalienable RIGHT of any and all citizens. The only way to take it from somebody is by individual decision by a judge on grounds of action against the state with the potential to dismantle its integrity.

Based on this the US is and never was a democracy as there were always more people alienated from their rights as citizens than where necessary to change the government. Slaves, women, criminals, poor - there were always too many groups not allowed to vote. And there still are too many hurdles to get access to the voting booth.

I suspect that these days the voters are less a problem than those already voted in. Being voted in is a privilege. People should need to pass a civics exam to earn the right to stand for election. All elections, not just presidential.

If your Air Purifier suddenly stops working and you notice the Change Filter Light illuminated , but you remember it was recently changed try this:

Take it apart, then examine and gently clean the sensor .
Reassemble and reset, then it might work again.

We always add a sticker with the date when we change the HEPA filters. Then you can tell easily if it seems to require changing too often.

🎥 Ein kurzes Update zu meinem RASPI-Backup-Video(*). Ich habe das ganze Setup noch einmal etwas handlicher gemacht. 🖖

Denn ein Problem hatte ich bei meiner Handy-Lösung nicht bedacht: Was ist, wenn man während des Backups angerufen wird?🤪

Hier nun die Lösung für ein mobiles Kamera-Backup, die einfach, unabhängig, sicher und schnell funktioniert und zudem sehr preiswert ist. 🥳

The image features a close-up of a bird with a predominantly brown plumage, showcasing a mix of dark and lighter brown feathers with subtle speckles. The bird's head is turned slightly upwards, revealing a sharp, pointed beak and a dark eye. The background is softly blurred, with hints of green and yellow, suggesting a natural setting, possibly near water. The bird's feathers appear wet, indicating it may have been bathing or drinking. The lighting is soft, highlighting the bird's features and creating a serene atmosphere. The image is signed in the bottom right corner with the text "Marius van der Meer Photography."

Time for a food post!

Rachel Roddy’s recipe for folded flatbreads with tomato, onion and cheese (scacce).

A bit like baked wraps, these Sicilian-inspired tomato, onion and cheese parcels are delicious served warm or at room temperature, and are rather handy for picnics, too

Did some reflecting on the zine-ing, and seems that they perhaps work best not as a "let me talk to you about X" but as a "how to talk to people about X" (which is admittedly always been my goal) - so we have new covers to reflect that.

Survivors recount horror after Israeli attack on UNRWA school

“We were sleeping, and at around 2:15am [23:15 GMT], we heard the sound of something devastating explode in the hall.”

“People were shouting: ‘There is no god but Allah! Help us, someone!’ But then we no longer heard any sound from them.”

Salmi fled the wreckage with her children, but many others did not survive. “Most of them died. Entire families were lost,” she said.

Isn't an attack on UNRWA an attack on the United Nations?

Therefore, on all of us?
