I got bitten (well, only kind of scratched really) by a dog.

I went for a run today, first one after a week, even though it was cold and kind of raining, and this was my reward! And it was really weird, because the dog was on a leash and it came to me really slowly and it wasn't growling or barking or anything, it just came to me, and I thought it just wanted to say hi, and I was ready to go all "hi, dog!" and then it bit me.

And I was so shocked that I just ran away without saying anything while the owner was scolding it, I didn't even ask if it had its rabies shots, and I'm really angry with myself for that. Because that means that I have to call anti-rabies clinic tomorrow and I'll probably have to get 5 vaccination shots even though the skin is only a tiny little bit broken and I doubt I even came into contact with the dog's saliva. And on the other hand I feel really stupid even going because it's just a scratch (it looks a bit worse now because the bruising has developed and the picture was taken right after I came home) but come on, it's nothing. But then I did some googling and I called my doctor who said that every bite has to be reported, even if the skin isn't broken at all, but I really really hope that they say everything is fine and I don't have to get the shots.

Sorry for the long rant, but I had to get it of my chest, and somehow, when I start explaining to people in person I have to make it short because otherwise I start crying, which is also really humiliating because it doesn't even hurt!

Found on a toilet door yesterday:

"White supremacy has taught him that all people of colour are threats irrespective of their behaviour. Capitalism has taught him that at all costs, his property can and must be protected. Patriarchy has taught him that his masculinity has to be proved by the willingness to conquer fear through aggression; that it would be unmanly to ask questions before taking action. Mass media then brings us the news of this in a newspeak manner that sounds almost jocular and celebratory, as though no tragedy has happened, as though the sacrifice of a young life was necessary to uphold property values and white patriarchal honour."

I get to work at a bookshop today and tomorrow! First time I'm doing something like this, so it's kind of nerve-wracking but also incredibly amazing :)

TJ Lane took a gun to a school, killed 3 people and was arrested near his car. Not shot. He was armed. He was white. Amy Bishop Anderson shot and killed three people, her colleagues, at the University of Alabama. She was arrested outside of the building. Not shot. She was white. Scott Evans Dekraai shoots and kills 8 people in Seal Beach, California. He is armed with 3 different guns. He is arrested. Not shot. He was white. Christopher Speight shoots and kills 8 people in Virginia. He surrenders and he is arrested. Not shot. He was white. The list of white murderers who were arrested and not killed goes on, and on, and on. Michael Brown harmed nobody. He did not commit a crime. He was not armed. He was shot 6 times. Michael Brown was killed. Michael Brown was black. Trayvon Martin harmed nobody. He did not commit a crime. He was shot and killed. He was not armed. Trayvon Martin was black. Tamir Rice was a 12 year old boy. He was “armed” with a fake, toy gun. He was shot twice in the torso and killed. Tamir Rice was black.

There, I went for a run. No photos, because it was to cold and I didn't feel like stopping. And I know it's only 3 km, but in this weather I'm counting it as success that I even went.

Runnersclubnovember: 6/9 runs (28.5 km)

Potent minimalist art sends a strong message about police and vigilante brutality in America

Journalist and artist Shirin Barghi has created a gripping, thought-provoking series of graphics that not only examines racial prejudice in today’s America, but also captures the sense of humanity that often gets lost in news coverage. Titled “Last Words,” the graphics illustrate the last recorded words by Brown and other young black people — Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant and others — who have been killed by police in recent years.

Let us not forget their voices

I really, really, really don't feel like going for a run, what with all the cold and the fog and the ugh, but I'm going anyway. Even if it's only 3 km, I'm going.

The Great Abbye “Pudgy” Stockton - 1917 - 2006

Another sunny run yesterday! Not much to tell, I went with my sister, it was nice, the weather was nice, everything was nice. Oh, and my sister gave me a full body massage after (she went to a course and now she has to keep on practicing so she doesn't forget everything), which was especially nice :)

Runnersclubnovember: 5 / 9 runs (25.5 km)

(I'm not sure I can manage 4 runs next week, but I'll try.)
