The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.
It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.
Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.
Alpine Ibexes climb nearly 90 degree angles to lick salt deposits of of mountainsides. They crave that mineral.

Thank god this is back on my dash in 2018
just cycled for the first time in I think over a month and once again, cycling is so fun and enjoyable
“The daily routine of most adults is so heavy and artificial that we are closed off to much of the world. We have to do this in order to get our work done. I think one purpose of art is to get us out of those routines. When we hear music or poetry or stories, the world opens up again. We’re drawn in — or out — and the windows of our perception are cleansed.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin, Talking on the Water: Conversations about Nature and Creativity (Trinity University Press, October 11, 2016) (via Alive on All Channels)
I rearranged my room again and I’m feeling good about it :) I really want to create a comfy zone, with a comfy chair in a corner and a side table where I can read a book and drink a tea. The placement of the door, in built wardrobe and window, and having an unnecessarily big desk makes this challenging. But I think it’s possible with this lay out!!
I placed the recently acquired bed head behind my bed. It is not attached to my bed but it is squeezed in on all sides and seems surprisingly stable. The person who gave it to me (and dropped it off to my home! For free!) DIY attached a piece of wood to the top to function as a shelf. And I think that will be so handy and also looks cute!
Also I found some shelves on the street that have been sitting in our car park untouched for a few months but today I cleaned them and put them next to my bed I think they look quite nice and will be quite functional!! Now my number one item to find is a comfy chair. And I specifically want an old green velvet one. I believe this is possible

This link between referee and police body cams is likely as unintentional as it is perverse. But referees are ultimately football’s cops, the game and its hierarchies of power offering another refracted view of society not unlike the video games that pioneered first-person aesthetics and the technology required to produce them. (Lenovo has invested heavily in a line of hardware outfitted with the kind of processing power sought after by gamers, marketed with the slogan “Choose Your Weapon.”) And much like video games are now made to be watched by the millions tuning in live on streaming platforms or recorded on YouTube, body cams, too, have their audience. They are more than a means of transparency; they are also tools of surveillance.
I had looked skyward as I alighted in the Meadowlands ahead of the Norway–Senegal match. Storms threatened to delay the match, and a deluge had just passed. Against the backdrop of purple clouds, to the right of the American Dream mega mall, hovered two drones. Whether they were there for broadcast, security, or perhaps a feed for both, I wasn’t sure. But the organs of security were unmistakable. The gauntlet we’d run between Penn Station and the swamp where the match would take place had been riddled with cops: NYPD, Transit Police, National Guard, NJ State Troopers, Unidentified Militarized Police (UMP!). Were they, too, cammed up? I couldn’t get many close looks in the rush, but I was confident my passage to the stadium had been captured, logged, and beamed to a hard drive somewhere for processing or to languish in data storage.
Lenovo, like most tech companies, sees law enforcement as a key market, and it sells its various products as a means of parsing the immense amount of data that today’s surveillance state produces. It doesn’t produce the cameras themselves (though Motorola Solutions, the other half of Motorola Mobility that Lenovo acquired in 2014, also a prominent World Cup sponsor, does). Instead, Lenovo deals higher up the supply chain: What do you do with the resulting files? How do you store them? How do you make them more usable, more accessible? Providing the back-end infrastructure for functional surveillance is where Lenovo focuses its efforts. “Police officers are often in a state of continuous evidence collection, especially with body cameras. The handling and storage of that evidence often requires multiple different types of media, devices, and reporting—eating up hours of valuable time in an officer’s week,” Lenovo tells us. “This has started to change thanks to automation and cloud-based evidence processing.”

These, then, are the coordinates of a life structured by psychosis and lived outside madness: an open ego, the unconscious as a function of the ego through enigma and epiphany, and the transformation of an invasive, disorganising jouissance into a new construction, the sinthome. For the psychotic structure, incandescent alphabets carry the jouissance of the subject, and when they are used to make a new social link, we see a construction that is not delusion.

Came across this art installation, Liza Lou's Kitchen, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC. It's a kitchen made of tiny glass beads, that artist Liza Lou did, taking 5 yrs. to complete, from 1991 - 1996.
My favorite part is the sink.
many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think
That was a very pleasant and thorough dentist experience!!! The dentist called me and also her dental assistant (and I’m guessing, probably, everyone) ‘gorgeous’. Like ‘just bite down for me, gorgeous’ ‘could you pass me that, thanks gorgeous’. In a way that I enjoyed. Also I received 3 X-rays and a clean and paid $0. Can you believe it . don’t remind me about the money I pay for the insurance
Here’s my list for today
