"On Saturday 17 May the women stood outside the Scottish parliament building with their shirts off and their arms painted red, which they said was a mark of solidarity with anti-fascist feminists across Europe. Each protester held a white rose to represent the “death of transgender rights in the UK”, and wore tape across their mouths to symbolise the “censorship of #trans voices” in the court ruling."

The image shows a television screen displaying a message in both Spanish and English. The Spanish text reads: "Frente a los derechos humanos, el silencio no es una opción. Paz y Justicia para Palestina." The English translation below it states: "When human rights are at stake, silence is not an option. Peace and Justice for Palestine." The screen is set against a background with a textured wall and a partially visible painting above the TV. The TV is placed on a dark-colored stand, and there are some objects, possibly speakers, on either side of the TV. The overall setting appears to be an indoor space, likely a living room or a similar area.

Das Bild zeigt ein düsteres und geheimnisvolles Filmplakat mit dem Titel "Until Dawn". Im Zentrum des Plakats befindet sich ein altes, verfallenes Haus, das auf einem riesigen Baumstamm thront. Der Baumstamm ist so geformt, dass er eine Art Uhrmacher-Symbol bildet, mit einem Licht, das aus dem Haus strahlt, und einer Ansammlung von Totenkopfen und Knochen am unteren Ende. Der Hintergrund ist dunkelblau und vermittelt eine unheimliche Atmosphäre. Oben auf dem Plakat steht in weißer Schrift "Jede Nacht ein neuer Albtraum", und in roter Schrift "Bleib am Leben". Der Titel "Until Dawn" ist in großen weißen Buchstaben in der Mitte des Plakats platziert. Am unteren Rand des Plakats steht in weißer Schrift "Nur im Kino" und "Vom Regisseur von Lights Out und Annabelle: Creation".

windows crashatico e rompimento di maremme
Vaffanculo, e specifico proprio nel culo: Windows colpisce, indovinate un po’, ancora un’altra volta… e stasera con un bug che avevo persino dimenticato ci fosse, perché avevo dimenticato di inviarlo qui le due volte passate. Cioè, mi è era successa una cosa simile quando avevo Windows 11, ma per 10 non mi sono mai presa i minuti persi per lamentarmene seriamente, quindi (nella speranza che non succeda più — perché al momento stranamente ho il precedente per cui raccontare i problemi tecnici di Windows li fa scomparire… o forse sono talmente fritta che me lo sto inventando) ecco qua. 💔
Il punto è che è crashato explorer — perché volevo copiare un file sul mio server con SSH (per cui uso un plugin di cui non ricordo il nome… quindi in teoria il problema del crash potrebbe essere suo, ma certamente non quello che succede dopo), ma si è bloccato a metà, e allora ho annullato il trasferimento, ma ovviamente essendo softlockato non si annulla, quindi dopo qualche minuto si è freezata proprio la finestra, quindi ho cliccato un sacco di volte la X per chiuderla, ma ovviamente anziché chiudersi per bene è proprio crashato tutto il processo — e subito dopo non si è riavviato da solo, e non c’è un cazzo di modo per farlo ripartire a mano. 😩
A parte che, quando fa questa cosa strana, sparisce giustamente la taskbar dal mio schermo principale… ma per qualche motivo non dal secondario, dove rimane visibile pur se estremamente buggata (diventa più bassa, con linee compenetrate, spariscono le icone delle finestre e il puntatore del mouse passandoci sopra diventa la rotellina che indica caricamento)… le cose diventano rapidamente peggio. Infatti, non solo può capitare che altre app arbitrariamente si freezino fino a crashare (per esempio, Telegram Desktop), ma è la fine più totale, perché non si riescono ad avviare altri processi (né il fottuto explorer crashato, ma nemmeno altre app). 💩
Maremma maiala se viene da piangere: si può aprire la schermata di CTRL+Alt+Canc, ma cliccare Task manager non apre nulla (così come non lo apre la combinazione CTRL+Shift+ESC); Win+R nemmeno funziona (anzi, sembra che la pressione del tasto Win non venga registrata, perché stando su un campo di resto la lettera R viene scritta); se si ha qualcosa di già aperto da cui in teoria si possono avviare altri processi (il Prompt dei comandi, un browser web, il fottuto Blocco note da cui si può navigare nel file system con la finestra di apertura file, ma comunque provare ad aprire un EXE la fa freezare)… Basta, cioè, oh, che cazzo!!! 😭
La foto sopra in realtà è di qualche mese fa, perché stavolta ho addirittura softlockato TUTTO, provando invano a far riprendere il sistema senza riavviarlo (che mi secca ampiamente dover fare, anche se puntualmente è l’unica via di uscita dalla tremendaggine, perché Windows è costruito su sputazza e codice spaghetti), quindi non ho potuto riprendere altro, ma alla fine appunto non c’è molto da vedere. Praticamente, ho provato a loggare in un altro utente per vedere se explorer si riprendesse, ma purtroppo no… anzi, forse perché in questo stato inconsistente alcuni servizi di sistema sono irraggiungibili, visto che gli utenti secondari che ho non sono mai stati configurati (li uso solo per runas, quindi è giusto così), lui vorrebbe fare la procedura di inizializzazione del profilo, ma nella pratica non ci riesce, e 10 minuti dopo si arriva quindi a questo simpatico messaggio (che in questo caso è una sonora bugia, visto che in questo stato rimarrebbe così per sempre): “Ci sta volendo un po’ più di quanto ci aspettavamo ma arriveremo alla fine più veloce che possiamo“… si Microsoft, ci credo completamente. 😭
Poi, ancora per vedere se qualcosa sarebbe cambiato, ho provato a fare il Disconnetti anziché Cambia utente… e questo è stato appunto come si è softlockato definitivamente, perché a questo punto si è bloccato sulla schermata “Signing out”, con le palle che girano ma nessun input che funziona (perché le schermate di arresto, riavvio e disconnessione in Windows non registrano nemmeno CTRL+Alt+Canc, visto che quello è tecnicamente sempre lo stesso processo, winlogon, che essendo già in foreground non può essere giustamente richiamato dal background). CHE PALLE. 😿

Die Kiev 60 mit den essentiellen Objektiven hatte ich schon im Rucksack, aber es war noch Platz. Was nimmt man da mit: die DSLR, falls man sie doch braucht, oder lieber das große Tele für die Kiev, also das alte Meyer Görlitz 300mm mit schmutzigen Linsen und Fungus?
Ich habe mich für letzteres entschieden. Und ich glaube, das war die richtige Entscheidung. Vermutlich hätte mir eine technisch perfekte digitale Version dieses Bildes längst nicht so gut gefallen wie das hier.

Found in Naomi Klein's Doppelganger. The one lesson I wish the modern left would internalize more than anything.
Use shared language.
Don't use lefty jargon when the person you're talking to doesn't subscribe to these ideas. No white privilege, no colonial oppression, no intersectionality. Translate to a shared language, built on reasonable, common assumptions and do the work required to bring people on board.
Because you can be damned sure the MAGA crowd are doing the work.

The image features a red heart with a white outline, symbolizing love or health. In the center of the heart, there is a white cross, which is commonly associated with medical care or humanitarian aid. The heart is set against a white background, making the red color of the heart and the white cross stand out prominently. The edges of the heart and cross have a slight blur effect, giving the image a soft appearance. The overall design is simple and clear, with the heart and cross being the main focal points.

In Oklahoma - I am a (non medical) volunteer for the Medical Reserve Corps. There were calls when small towns like Stroud were hit in 2023 - there was no mobilization for Tulsa in 2023. Both our governor and our lieutenant governor were completely out of the picture, no one even knew who was in charge to even declare a state of emergency. Places in Tulsa were without running water or electricity for weeks after. No one cared - Tulsa is mostly Black and votes Blue.
We are looking at severe weather in Oklahoma tonight. I guarantee, if it takes out a small town like fucking Tishimongo or something - a place that voted for our governor - they’ll get help. If it’s Tulsa - lol.
