Meet Clover! My friendly neighborhood Bunbun. They are a wild bun that is often in my complex's shared lawn. They bring me so much joy as I've gotten to watch them grow up after about 2-3 years, so I thought I'd share with you all!

Bun was spotted when I pulled my car into work, hanging with a couple crows. Made me dread the work day slightly less!

Felix Baumgartner, the Austrian extreme adventurer who hurtled to earth from more than 24 miles high in 2012 and became the first human to break the sound barrier while free-falling, died on Thursday in a paragliding accident along the Adriatic coast in Italy. He was 56.

His death was confirmed by Red Bull, the energy drink company that sponsored him, as well as by the Italian authorities.

Mr. Baumgartner crashed to the ground a few yards from a swimming pool in the town of Porto Sant’Elpidio, the mayor, Massimiliano Ciarpella, said on Friday. He said that Mr. Baumgartner had become ill during his flight and had lost consciousness by the time of impact in a part of town popular among tourists. An autopsy was to be performed, he said.

Mayor Ciarpella called Mr. Baumgartner “a figure of global prominence, a symbol of courage and passion for extreme flight.”

Apologies for the blurry image. They were rather far away and I had to zoom in.

For the third time since I've lived here in a moderately sized city in the UK, I've seen a black male argue with white trash. I don't know why or how they keep managing to find these "people" and end up arguing with them, and I'd be remiss if I wasn't aware that the pale ones are likely to have found him and started it. The first was a friend of my neighbour and after their heated debate he just swore "Ni****s!" (I abhor censorship but in this particular case I'll let it slide, lest this entire rant be censored). Knowing how systemic oppression of the ethnic majority is ignored or censored, and I see nobody standing up for the victim, that sent me into a fury. Well, today was the third event with the same dark-skinned dude. He had just stopped following this heavily tanned piece of trash that was spewing weird shit. ""Not like us", no, we're nothing like you!" ... "That's why we're going to Mars and you ain't!" My maggot in Christ none of us are, not even the trillionaires. What are you jacked up on.

I know there is a growing issue with even members of the public who support cruelty, practice bigotry and oppose liberty, and the density of assholes in my area may be, and have been, higher than I know. I am at a disadvantage when it comes to seeing just how broken our community is, because I'm basic white. But I want to fight this. I refuse to lay back while the very people I share oxygen with are actively damaging others' lives. How fucking dare the cruel, the unjust and the greedy exist anywhere they please.

My country's leaders have just imprisoned another liberation activist under the guise of terrorism with zero evidence. Small, frequent signs that the land I occupy is becoming more hostile to humanity, to life. Intentionally causing harm to the existence of an innocent being goes against my moral code, and it sure as fuck is more important than laws manipulated by those in power.

Justice for Palestine. Free Mangione. Fuck fascists. BIPOC and LGBTQ+ lives matter.
