I will never share graphic photographs of mass shootings on social media. Those people who follow me already know the devastation of these shootings, and those who need to understand it will never see the photos. And probably won't care.

Jak już naprawdę nie możecie pić alkoholu, to nie pijcie, tylko nie obnoście się publicznie z tą swoją abstynencją. A tym bardziej przy dzieciach.

For those wondering, ′′how did i do it?":
I boiled 10L of water, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke, and half cup of lemon juice, then stirred well. Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes, then added a quarter cup of chlorine bleach to the mixture. Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes. I took it out, rinsed it, and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away, and went and bought a new one.

It's Wren Time! Dozens of migrating wrens are flitting around in our wetland. I'm glad I decided to pay more attention to LBBs* - these little guys have a big attitude (the tiny Eurasian Wren is even called "Zaunkönig" - "King of the Fence"). It also turned out that they belonged to three different species.

Police arrest women's night safety workers. Potentially upsetting terms but no descriptions. 

Three night safety volunteers, who help vulnerable women on the streets of Westminster and have official high vis with local council and Met police logos, were apparently arrested at 2am for doing their job and then held for up to 14 hours, including 3 hours in handcuffs for at least one of them.

'But journalist Mic Wright, who reported the arrests on Twitter, said those arrested were members of Westminster City Council’s nighttime safety volunteers group Night Stars. The volunteers, who wear vibrant pink high-vis vests, support at-risk women and help vulnerable members of the public to ensure they get home safely. Soho is one of the areas they operate in, according to the Westminster City Council website. They often provide people in need with water, directions, slippers or someone to talk to and work in partnership with the Met, whose logo appears on their uniforms. Westminster City Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Mr Wright said one member of the trio arrested left the police station in tears after the incident. "They were arrested for being in possession of… rape alarms. They hand them out to women," Mr Wright tweeted.
News of the arrests has been met with widespread outrage and concern. Jamie Klingler, co-founder of Reclaim These Streets, said: "Even for the @metpoliceuk this is a preposterous excuse. They were volunteers in high vis".'

This is big. No #embargoes. No #APCs.

"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.

In a move that could send shockwaves through commercial scholarly #publishing, the positions are due to be adopted by the Council of the EU member state governments later this month."
