"Selon les médias, l'opération militaire à Gaza devrait commencer la semaine prochaine, par des attaques aériennes massives, suivies d'une invasion terrestre.
Je risque de ne plus avoir accès à Internet la semaine prochaine.
Merci de vous souvenir de nous dans vos prières. "

The only thing we need to have absolutely clear is independence and membership of the EU.
Everything else including decisions like whether we should have two chambers or one, whether we should have a head of state, and how elections will be run must be left for decision by the new independent country not formulated beforehand .
The awful parliament building at the foot of Holyood Road was the result of one man’s vision, not the will of the parliament.
I have some assorted white clothes, mostly panties, that long ago have lost the whiteness and look sad and crummy now. regular washing with these new types of "oxy" whiteners didn't help. hanging in the sun (whatever little there is) while soaped didn't help. so I decided to try old-fashioned bleach (as in chlorine) and if it damaged the clothes, so be it, wasn't using them anyway.
left the lot soaking in warm water + chlorine for ca. 90min, then washed them in the washing maschine. the result was:
- a small amount of them is now distinctly whiter, especially synthetics
- another small amount wasn't significantly affected
- and the majority of them got pink stains.
among the pink category, some got exactly the elastic band uniformly pinker, while others (like a white bra I used to like) got random stains across the surface.
this got me curious, like it's not the first time I see this, but why *is* it that bleach + white clothes = pink anyway? (continued…)

Do you know about Fado? I didn't until I started searching for alternative music from queer artists and found Fado Bicha.
So the Fado is a portuguese traditional genre which blends melanchonic themes with a strong vocal presence, which is traditionally female.
So they said what, why can't we sing Fado, we've got the skills, and we sure have stuff to say, queer people have it and we want to be represented in the traditional music genres!
And they do it! I love them! I'm all about theatrical music, I'm a bit of drama queer myself, but their voice perfectly carries all the struggles and harshness of life for queer people, I feel the need to sing with them to cathartically expel all the pain and frustrations.
And I'm in a phase of high distrust of men, so they are quite good.

Dear Europe.
United States has fallen. We are now surrounded on both sides by ideologically aligned dictators applying disinformation tactics to influence us.
They will release hordes of trolls into our information spaces, and try to insert their lackeys into our politics.
We are still free, but the onslaught of Russian-style propaganda will not come only from the east in the future.

▪️Moscow is the best place for a high-level meeting between #Russia and #Ukraine. #Putin called Kyiv's proposal to come to a location they named for negotiations excessive.
▪️Putin stated he is ready for contacts with the Ukrainian side but sees no point. It will be practically impossible to agree on key issues with the Ukrainian side.
▪️According to the Ukrainian constitution, agreements on territories must be approved by a referendum, but for this, martial law must be lifted.
▪️Kyiv recently excluded the possibility of contacts with #Russia, but now they are asking for such contacts.
▪️Security guarantees must be for both #Russia and #Ukraine. No one has discussed them seriously yet, the president noted.
▪️Pulling #Ukraine into #NATO directly concerns Russia's security interests.
▪️Russia has never opposed Ukraine's integration efforts towards #Europe. #Putin called Ukraine's desire to join the #EU a legitimate choice.

Auf der Tafel ist eine Zeichnung der Erde zu sehen, die mit einem Thermometer und einem traurigen Gesicht dargestellt ist, was auf die Erderwärmung hinweist. Die Erde hat geschlossene Augen und eine nach unten gebogene Mundlinie, was ihre Traurigkeit symbolisiert. Über der Erde steht in großen, roten Buchstaben "BURN OUT", was auf die Notwendigkeit hinweist, die Erde vor weiterer Verschmutzung und Überhitzung zu schützen. Die Tafel ist an einem Stab befestigt und steht vor einem weißen Hintergrund.

Wir machen uns hier alle Gedanken um die Umwelt und dann wird mit Steuergeldern die Meyer Werft unterstützt und die baut riesige Kreuzfahrtschiffe.
Die neue Rekordhalterin, die Star of the Seas" von Royal Caribbean, das zweite Schiff der Icon Klass, ist gerade zu ihrer Jungfernfahrt aufgebrochen. In der Maximalbelegung wären 7600 Passagier*innen möglich, bei Doppelbelegung der Kabinen sind es 5600.
Das dritte Schiff ist im Bau, es ist die neue Legends of the Seas und ein weiteres ist in Planung. Alle werden mit LNG betrieben.
focus.de/panorama/welt/platz-f…
Ob da eins Spaß dran hat und das mit dem Gewissen vereinbaren kann, muss eins mit sich selber ausmachen.
Aber ich finde es fraglich, dass eine mit staatlichen Geldern gerettete Werft sowas baut.
@bundeskater
Es sei erwähnt, dass mit dieser Schiffsklasse einige Innovationen bei der Antriebstechnik realisiert werden:
Die Kreuzfahrtschiffe dieser Klasse setzen auf einen vergleichsweise emissionsarmen Antrieb durch Brennstoffzellen und Flüssigerdgas.
Das reicht natürlich noch nicht, geht aber in die richtige Richtung und ein Weg beginnt immer mit dem ersten Schritt.
@feb Ja, das auf alle Fälle. Schifffahrt wird auch ein Baustein im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel sein.
Aber diese Riesenschiffe bringen ja noch mehr Probleme mit sich als nur CO2.
Moin @feb , wie kann denn ein Schiffsantrieb mit LNG - bekanntlich fossil und unter großen Schmerzen für Umwelt, Natur und lebende Spezies produziert - innovativ, also gut sein?
Wirklich progressiv und klimafreundlich wären Segel. Vortrieb mit Windenergie. Und Stromversorgung mit Photovoltaik.

#Russia media speak a lot about “water blockade of Donbas” but there was no actual “blockade” by #Ukraine - water was supplied to the occupied Donetsk until Russian artillery damaged the Siversky Donets-Donbas pipeline in 2022. Russians were so certain of fast conquest of all Donbas they didn’t care - they just assumed whatever they destroy, they will be able to rebuild after “liberation”. Instead, they cut the whole region, including towns of Donetsk and Mariupol, from fresh water, resulting in self-inflicted humanitarian disaster.
Also in 2022 Russia however also destroyed the main pumping station of Ukrainian #Mykolaiv - and its residents also didn’t have running water since. The town has rebuilt it and now, for the first time in three years, running water returned to Mykolaiv.

things I have recently learned:
I wasn’t very familiar with Roger Casement, a figure of Irish history who was a part of the Easter Uprising in the 1910s, smeared by the British government for being gay, and ultimately executed for both.
Turns out there’s a queer-owned and queer-friendly Irish pub in the Mission called Casements. My friend Tanya Wischerath, who painted the Living Lesbian Legends mural in the Castro, recently completed a mural of Roger Casement on the patio of this bar; it is located between her murals of Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries and Sinead O’Connor.
Today there was a big event at Casements to celebrate that Roger Casement will be commemorated with a sidewalk plaque as part of the Castro Honor Walk. I went to support Tanya and also my friend Bobby who created the Modern Queer Tarot with art by Tanya — Casement is the figure on their deck’s Five of Swords card.
State Of The World – September
Welcome to September’s Edition of State Of The World, lets get started.
Burkina Faso becomes 32nd African country to outlaw homosexuality
Burkina Faso. the African country that is currently under the rule of a Military Junta, has become the 32nd country in the world to outlaw homosexuality.
The military junta-run state proposed the ban in 2024 announcing a ban on homosexual acts, but it was never outlawed.
Now law, issued by the transitional parliament introduces prison terms of two to five years and fines for those convicted of same-sex relations.
Foreign nationals found guilty under the law will also face deportation.
Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala said on national broadcaster RTB: “The law provides for a prison sentence of between two and five years as well as fines.”
He continued: “If a person is a perpetrator of homosexual or similar practices, all the bizarre behaviour, they will go before the judge.”
You can not outlaw something that is natural, people can not change who they are.
The government must not take asylum rights from international students – LGBTQI+ lives are at stake
This government recently announced a ‘crackdown’ on international students’ rights to claim asylum, even suggesting that it might defund universities if students claim asylum. This is a deeply concerning turn, that scapegoats international students, would shift border enforcement responsibilities onto universities, and one that will put people at risk of harm.
The “problem” the government claims to be addressing is people entering the UK as students and later claiming asylum. Responding to pressure from the increasingly racist and anti-migrant rhetoric in the media, the government is looking to drive down the number of people claiming asylum. This would set a really worrying precedent.
According to The Times, the Home Office justification for this policy is that some people are ‘using the student route to make claims for humanitarian protection when circumstances in their country have not changed’. But this is a dangerous oversimplification.
Asylum can be granted for many reasons – including someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. A country does not have to become unsafe for it to become unsafe for an individual.
Take, for example, a gay man from Pakistan who came to the UK to study. After his family discovered his sexual orientation, he received death threats. Another gay man from China was cut off financially after coming out, forcing him to leave his course and fear violence if he returned home. Others have faced threats of forced marriage after being outed.
These are people facing real danger and the government must not ignore this reality or attempt to deny people the protection they deserve.
This cannot be allowed. Lives are at stake.
Government urged to hold parliamentary debate on EHRC’s new code of practice
LGBTQ groups have called on the UK government to table a debate regarding the updates to the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) single-sex code of practice.
More than 80 organisations and groups signed a joint letter calling on equalities minister Bridget Phillipson to stage a “meaningful debate” once the revamped guidance had been published.
The UK’s equality watchdog proposed updates to its Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations, in April, shortly after the Supreme Court ruled on the definitions of “woman” and “sex” in the 2010 Equality Act.
Updates suggested by the EHRC would effectively exclude trans people from gendered spaces consistent with their gender identity, including toilets, changing rooms and even possibly book clubs. In some cases, transgender men and women could be barred from spaces consistent with their birth sex, too.
I dont think this will happen, as this current government has abandoned the LGBT Community.
UK woman found guilty of sexual assault for failing to disclose she was trans
A 21-year-old trans woman, Ciara Watkin, has been found guilty of sexual assault after a court heard she did not tell the man she was dating that she was not assigned female at birth.
The BBC reports that Ciara Watkin told the man she was on her period to stop him finding out she had not yet had gender confirmation surgery. The court heard that she had identified as female and used the name Ciara since the age of 13.
Prosecutors argued that the man was unable to make “informed consent”, after he claimed he wouldn’t have had sexual contact with Watkin had he known she was trans.
When Watkin later revealed that information, the man filed a complaint with police telling officers had he known, he would not have met her as he did “not swing that way”.
The jury reached a guilty verdict after just one hour of deliberations following a two-day trial. She will be sentenced on 10 October and was ordered to sign the sex offenders register within three days.
This could be a campaign by the right wing to match the narrative that trans people are just convicted sex offenders.
