Out a couple of evenings ago, and walking through the cemetery I encounter my other friend, Mr Black Cat. He’s fairly tame for a stray, and ate some kibble as long as I kept a respectable distance away. Unfortunately he’d left when I got back from the shop and missed out on a proper meal.

A black cat investigating a tray of kibble in a grassy cemetery. It’s night, and the scene is lit by my head torch. There are gravestones in the background, some decorated with flowers.

Whilst the US is busy installing an Al Qaeda 2.0 led "democracy" in what used to be known as Syria, the US is also busy repressing and criminalising students who demonstrate against genocide in Gaza, thus suppressing democracy at home ... makes sense.
Surveillance, retaliation or job losses affect not just students, but the entire university workforce if they join the protests or teach pro-Palestine content.

Spectacled Mouse Reading a Newspaper https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Spectacled_Mouse_Reading_a_Newspaper.jpg The illustration features a small, anthropomorphic mouse sitting in a wooden chair. The mouse is holding and attentively reading a newspaper, adding a sense of humor and personality to the scene. The mouse's glasses, perched on its tiny nose, enhance the anthropomorphic charm and convey a scholarly demeanor. The artwork is a delicate pen and ink drawing, accompanied by soft watercolor details.

pretty sure that ones gonna be a hard no ... Canada passed in 1777 when the origin US constitution offered to accept them into the union if and whenever they wanted to join. Just for fun here's Article 11 .. 'Canada acceding to this confederation, and joining in the measures of the united states, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this union: but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine states.'

obviously it would be 10 more states - one for each Canadian province. But actually 9 because we'll invite British Columbia to secede and join us in the progressive Republic of Pacifica when California, Oregon, and Washington State secede. Hopefully Baja will join us.

Well, trust me when I say that I've long admired the achievement of building something as grand as a cathedral, but I just think in light of our climate crisis the resources should have spent elsewhere at this point.

Anyways, anyone who complains about beginning direct air capture of CO2 prior to us stopping to emit GHGs can't also ethically support the rebuilding of #NotreDame

Do oppose spending money to build a direct air capture and sequestration industry yet support spending billions of dollars to rebuild an 800-year-old building?

Because to me those seem mutually exclusive based on many arguments I've seen from the climate science deniers saying that DACS is a waste of money before we've stopped emitting GHG gases.

Well because it's Caturday, I dug through my archives and found this picture from 2007. Meet Munchkin and CharlieCat... my last two and most deeply missed pets.

Munchkin was a rescue guinea pig... calm to the extreme and completely happy no matter where she was. She would toddle over to everyone and wait to be picked up... flattening out and napping whenever she was in anyones lap. Near the end of her life (i.e. in this picture), Munchkin would snuggle up to CharlieCat for warmth... and Charlie would gently put a paw on her and give her tongue baths.

#caturday
A small, amber and black agouti guinea pig with swirly hair leans into the side of a black and white tuxedo cat who is lying on his back. They are both getting ready to nap together. Maybe not the best picture but one I particularly like for sentimental reasons. Taken with a Canon a400 PowerShot camera.

Freiburger #Weihnachtsmarkt-Schausteller kritisieren FWTM - trotz möglichem Besucherrekord

"Mit dem Geld, das wir hier verdienen, müssen wir über den Winter kommen. Wir haben bis April keine anderen Einnahmen mehr", sagt Schausteller Traber. Der Frust bei ihm und den anderen Kolleginnen und Kollegen sitzt tief.

Für einen Glühweinstand zahlen die Schausteller rund 1000 Euro – pro Markttag. Wegen der Gebührenerhöhung wurde auch der Glühweinpreis auf 4,50 Euro angehoben.

Sehr spannend was da für Summen bewegt werden. 1000 € pro Tag ist viel Geld aber in 4 Wochen genug zu verdienen, das man 4 Monate nicht mehr arbeiten muss ist halt auch ein hoher Anspruch.

Freiburger Weihnachtsmarkt-Schausteller kritisieren FWTM - trotz möglichem Besucherrekord

Dem Freiburger Weihnachtsmarkt winkt ein Allzeitrekord. Trotzdem herrscht schlechte Stimmung. Die Schausteller, die den Markt einst gründeten, fühlen sich von der städtischen Tochter FWTM benachteiligt.

Dann die Verkäufer*innen, Service etc. - da geht es richtig rund. Was die in einer Stunde arbeiten, gibts in vielen anderen Stellen nicht am ganzen Tag.
