One of the few times I caught one of these great cycling shots in time! #BikeTooter #Albania #Europe #CarryShitOlympics

Hey, disabled people have been saying that fascism is bedfellows with ableism and eugenics... #USpol #Immigration

@skinnylatte How many languages do you speak to her in?

I miss lots of great photos of cycling around Albania because I'm trying to keep a low profile.

Like a great one today where a father was riding his daughter on the handlebars while holding an umbrella above both of them.

But I did get this one of a mother riding her child in a carry seat.

I like to get these photos because otherwise it seems like only single men are riding here, which is not the case. #Albania #BikeTooter

I don't disagree with not going to the US.

But the EU is just about to photograph and fingerprint all non-EU citizens when they enter, too. Biometric shit everywhere now.

I wish there were more resistance to that in general.

I've seen a couple posts observing the anniversary of the day women in Iceland held a strike.

While taking icelandAir earlier this year, I was able to watch the documentary "The Day Iceland Stood Still", which interviews many of the women who organized it. It's apparently streaming in some places, so you should check it out.

Meanwhile here's a panel from a film festival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYxLsm5AY1A #Feminism #Iceland #Activism

The surprising story of a vinyl record empire in Kansas

Chad Kassem, founder of Kansas vinyl record giant Acoustic Sounds, turned his hobby into a career–but his journey to success was anything but straightforward.

Another photo for @skinnylatte and film fans - a display of vintage cameras at a camera shop in Tirana, #Albania.

Mastodon has messed with my mind.

Several times this week I read this as "Euro Furries".

Cleveland State University's student-run alternative radio station WCSB was abruptly shut down Friday and replaced with a jazz station operated by Ideastream Public Media.

They broke the news over Zoom then called the cops to "escort" the students out.

@liaamancio Obrigada!

TODAY is #BandcampFriday until 11:59pm PST. When I had to get rid of most of my stuff to move continents, I did not get much $ for it. I lost my accessible cycle without enough money to replace it. Some folks have donated to me directly, but others don't like PayPal. You can donate to me by buying my music with a "tip" today, Bandcamp will waive its 15% fee to me, and you can use a credit card or other ways to pay. Getting a new recumbent would help my health & mobility.

Folks going east to west and vice versa, cutting through Skanderbeg Square, which at least won't have as many (there are always some, sadly) motor vehicles on it.

PLEASE stop with the ableist language.

Fascists don't say what they're saying because they're insane. If they were, they would be found innocent by reason of insanity.

Insane people are not the ones behind this coup. Sane, but shitty rich white people are. #Ableism #USpol

@sundogplanets Close together, falling debris in CA as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/Davis/comments/1nqqkl7/just_saw_this_in_the_sky_what/

Agreeing with some of the other things mentioned in replies: Chips and pretzels were in waxed paper bags. Some things were packaged in aluminum or other foils, sometimes combined with paper.

Frozen vegetables & fruits were in bleached paperboard boxes covered by colorful printed and waxed paper wrappings. Shorter shelf life, but not in landfill forever like plastic.
