The grand river is bright blue reflecting the clear skies. There are trees and shrubs all along the shore.

Bright blue skies and harsh sunlight shines on bare trees and sand.

There was a German in valet parking. A Belgian and a Swiss at odds over vol-au-vents in the kitchen. A small contingent of African spies (Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon) on the janitorial staff, relatively careless about Francophone eavesdroppers. She spotted a very young and nervous Turkmen agent shoving a dead-drop spike into the eye of a gaudy reindeer statue at Christmastime, and duly stole it, learning his real name (Kasymguly) and workname (Kevin) in the process. The waitstaff had a Russian agent named Vladimir and a Ukrainian agent named Volodymyr and they'd nearly killed each other in the west parking lot one night. The Polish agent Wtodzimierz, who was considerably older and world-weary, smoked a cigarette, watched them brawl, and predicted they'd both be fired for coming to work with visible bruises. He was right, which was a pity;
Volodymyr had been very handsome indeed.
They were replaced, in due time, by Dmitri and Dmytro, at which point she began to wonder if Kyiv and Moscow were being deliberate about all this for their own inscrutable reasons.

In the entire shitty category of anti-homeless, anti-loitering architecture, โ€œa constant, high-pitched, piercing buzzing noise going at all hours of the day and nightโ€ has to be up there as the worst

Damaging the hearing of anyone wishing to sit on a bench near a train station is straight up cruel

Most of us don't do well w Noise; I can't even stand Yelling on the Internet which fuels the Myth of Not working well in Groups.
Autists need Structure, therefore we Need Accommodating.
This is precisely what my child dealt with as an Accelerated AKA Gifted Student in America; he was accommodated.

Itโ€™s astounding and encouraging that the Met Office put out these long scientific explanations of how our world works. We need more science in the world like this. ๐Ÿ‘

Three very bright ribbons of green light swirl in the night sky over a round yurt surrounded by a wooden deck. The silhouetted spires of spruce trees rise up around the snow-covered yurt and stand against the bright green lights.

Each night of our aurora tours in Churchill is spent in a different location. This yurt just inside the treeline is one of my favourite places. We had a spectacular show there the other night. #aurora #northernlights

really depressing that this is going to just keep happening, and in a about 8 to 10 years, there's going to be a huge spike of these deaths. the anti-vax movement is such a curse on our society

One of my biggest general critiques about capitalists (I have many specific ones) is their belief in constant & unending growth.

Itโ€™s obvious that sustainability should be the goal. Infinite growth will always result in antagonistic customer/provider relationships AND company/employee relationships
