Let me tell you. I was a child in Iraq when the national team used to play international games. Supporting them was an outlet for us (even those of us not really into #football) because it used to shine a different light on a country known to the outside world only by wars and dictatorship. It was a brief moment in time where we saw and the wanted the world to see the country with eyes of joy. It was painful to come across those who speak of the govt and the people as if they’re the same thing.

27 November 1942 | A Polish woman, Anna Smoleńska (b. 28 Feb 1920), was incarcerated in Auschwitz.

She was a girl scout, student of history of arts. During the occupation she was engaged in resistance. The author of the 'Kotwica - Fighting Poland' emblem (more about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotwica).

Camp no. 26008.
She perished on 19 March 1943.

Hello Everyone, I'm going to start posting more regularly here as I get the hang of things. If you have any tips for me, please share!! TYSM!

I used to do software development. Whenever I had to come into work sick (no plague in progress then), I only did busy work - documentation, status reports, etc. I never touched the code.

Now it's time to revise my #novel after reaching "The End." And I'm sick. Very fuzzy. I know if I touch it, I will regret it.

Big week of updating outlines and beat sheets ahead of me. Probably a good time to write a synopsis.

The German word "warum" means "why".

The German word "wieso" means "why".

The German word "weshalb" means "why".

The German word "weswegen" means "why".

And now you're all wondering: "But ... why?"

Well, ... darum.*

Enjoy our language!

(*"Darum" means "just because" and is the shortest answer to every warum-question you can think of - and don't really want to answer. Actually, the same goes for "deshalb" and "deswegen" - but there's no "dieso".)

A profile in the British press on my life and my life’s work. I hope you’ll do me the honor of reading it. At the end, there’s info on how to catch me live on a London stage in “Allegiance” starting in January. https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/star-treks-george-takei-cruelly-28590776

"So, it's like Twitter but it's not Twitter, everyone is really nice to each other and it's toots not tweets, boosts not retweets, and faves not likes and you choose a server at the start, which some people call an instance – don't know why, it's not important – but you can move servers really easily, and you write a good bio, hashtag your toots and always add Alt Text to images, and so I'm on there and we should, you know, connect so you can boost my toots... what's your name again?"

Breaking - Waterfall shot still AWOL

But I did find this unprocessed pano from Lake Tekapo that I thought might work in B&W, it doesnt have much color itself anyhow so why not?

Still not convinced about it , let me know what you think

OMG - I just realized Mastodon has the ability to mute people for predefined periods of time. I've wanted this feature for years. Too often I've muted someone I really like because they're live tweeting an event or something like that, only to forget to unmute them until months later. The ability to mute someone for just a day or two is big for me personally.

They're playing "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister at the airport and I don't think I can think of a worse song to play at the airport.
