Not wild at all - who better to help with intelligence than defectors?

Founder of the school I went to maybe somewhat similar to your idol, having had to flee himself once he spoke out against the regime he’d previously advised on education, then persuaded parents to send their teenagers to him after. It is said the war memorial is one of the few which has British and German in equal measure, so he wasn’t successful beyond keeping his own pupils safe whilst they were still his pupils.

Wake every day overwhelmed with dread, and the clinging stench of death and misery coating my everything.

Yup, there’s plenty of scope for closer ties between Mexico (along with other Central America countries) & the EU.

Just as Nazi Germany caused millions to flee Europe for the US, Fascist US is causing the first of millions to flee to Europe.

Here’s hoping all who make it will be safe for at least several generations.

Concentration camps conveniently situated near farms & factories & burgeoning with detained “undesirables”.

Entirely different groups of people, and they’re profoundly opposed to each other.

At the core of this massive protest/strike are groups which have been against the bombardment of Gaza from the outset, and protesting Israel’s war against Palestinians for years.

Keeping a few of those little lens cleaning cloths in convenient places is about all I can think of. They launder fine too, if you notice any become less effective at removing smears.

If you ever need a new prescription, they should be able to put the new lenses in your current frame. Similarly, if your frame ever gets broken but your lenses are undamaged, they can pop them in a new frame. That said, keeping old glasses as spares is useful, and it can be fun to have new frames.

If conditions cannot be guaranteed, the court can uphold his appeal and deny the order.

Whether or not that ruling would in turn be appealed by the US DoJ to the UK Supreme Court is moot. Ditto chance of success if it is. Between impinging on the right to freedom of expression & the horrors of the US penal system, extradition is likely illegal under UK human rights law.

Here’s hoping they prevail & that they inspire others either way.

Do like the slogan on that banner.

That likely explains things. Thank you! Am here via Memmy.

Cheers. That worked. What a spooky coincidence! Can’t think why it would have been blocked.

The word it translates to is not visible for me in your comment.

Could be that it got censored out somehow - there’s a double space between “as” and “which”.

Just tried on my iOS Safari, and did not see anything like this, whether logged in or logged out. Usually use Memmy app.

Unsure if relevant, but I do block a lot of DNS requests.

The weird shawl-like thing that am currently bundled up in.

Stretchy enough to cover self if cold, heavy enough to keep light out of eyes, gauzy enough to breathe cooly if draped across face whilst keeping warm & dark, many stitches to count (visually or *tactilely) if thoughts disrupting sleep, calming texture, familiar smell, can create sparkly visual effects to trick brain into checking out if necessary, means of escape if not released, can be worn as dress if released to a cocktail party.

*tactilely: had to go hunting to find this word, as brain was refusing to cooperate, but it seems unfamiliar to me and feels clumsy. Hoped that reading about Braille might turf it up (it did not), but from there found a Wikipedia entry about a device some might find desirable in this 24hr lockup situation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyctography. Seriously though, what is the normal adverb form of tactile?

Easier again? A dip pen. Doesn’t sound so easy, but you never get leaks on the paper or where you store your pen, can change ink on the fly, not limited to nib choice or handle choice by manufacturer of either.

Great fountain pen nib could cost you upward of $50 plus barrel it will go into, plus reservoir or facility for cartridges. Stellar dip nib could be $20, you can tape it to a twig, and just dip it in ink - no converter or pricey cartridges needed.

There’s a type of Japanese felt tip which writes somewhere between a fountain pen and a ballpoint, and there are versions that can be filled with ink. They don’t need all the faffing around of fountain pens, and don’t dent the paper like a ballpoint.

If your skin is happy, you don’t need to change what you are doing with it.

Sheetmasks and similar can be relaxing and make one feel more engaged with general self-care, so if you enjoyed that it could be good to do more often.

In my 40s with good skin, and just wash it with a good bar soap when in the shower, then a splash of rosewater whilst it is still damp, followed by moisturiser with SPF50.

My mother is in her 70s and has perfect skin - she just washes it with whatever kind of soap, including dish soap if that is what is to hand. In recent years she sometimes complains that it is getting dry - she sort of knows that moisturiser should help and even has some which would be suitable for her, but the whole idea is just too alien to her to actually get it on her face more than once every few weeks.

Was finding it annoying too, so instead of scrolling and blocking things as I happened upon them, I pulled up lists of things to block by searching for keywords of stuff I know I’m disinterested in.

It isn’t ideal but it made it a lot faster and less fiddly. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem possible yet to search by instance name, so I couldn’t use this method to pull up a list of every community on instances with a high prevalence of stuff I don’t want to see.

For keeping porn out, go into settings and deselect “show NSFW content”. I don’t think Beehaw has NSFW content, but this setting should keep a lot of it out of your “All” feed (if it has been correctly marked).

Phew, but alarming.

Would imagine that restoration projects need a lot of workers. Hiring & training people local to these areas should help ensure that these projects retain enough support that the law is not only not torn down, but amended to include many more areas.
