Sami occupying the Norwegian ministry of oil and energy, demanding the removal of a wind farm that was placed illegally on their land. Despite being ordered by the supreme court of Norway to restore the land to its natural state, the Norwegian government has refused to comply for more than 500 days. The press is eerily silent.

By the way: if you decide to feed local crows, PLEASE DON'T FEED THEM WHITE BREAD, especially during mating season.
Urban hatchlings are sometimes flightless and not long for this world due to bad nutrition.
Give them seeds, dog treats, nuts, fruit, and corpses of your enemies to feast upon instead of bread.
Remember: crows are too metal for white bread.
It's Friday, so it's time for another #Newstodon thread where we bring together great work from some of the newsrooms here in Mastodon.

There’s a day of hate being planned against Jews for the 25th. Some shitheads on Telegram are calling for it. I have no idea if anything will happen or not, but people want it to happen. They want more pogroms, more massacres. Check in with your Jewish friends. This shit is getting worse and we are not okay
I don't have mending for this week's #fiberary prompt, so I just went with sewn. This blanket was both spun and woven by me. Used different #sheep breeds: Corriedale, Grey Finn, Jacob, Gotland, and Shetland. Hemmed and two panels sewn together with handspun tussah silk. My cat MO Boudreaux claimed it from day one - here is after wet finishing and has been laid out to dry: still wet but cat says "mine."

It's here! It's here! My new Majacraft Susie. A bit of assembly and it's good to go. It's *heavy* with its solid drivewheel, but of so pretty, plus the heaviness make treadling almost effortless. And it is so quiet. Plus you can flip the flyer head to either side, so this lefty doesn't have to fight the design.

“Discrimination 911: A Novel Response Framework to Teach Bystanders to Become Upstanders When Facing Microaggressions”
I am SO proud of the work our team has done.
We created an algorithm-based training to respond to instances of racism in healthcare settings similar to those used in medical emergencies.
I've been struggling with this myself, so I thought I'd repeat it for other people that might be dealing with the same thing:
Not every hobby needs to be a project. Not everything needs to be a whole *thing* with a goal and an endpoint. It's okay to not finish something. It's okay to pick up something for a bit, explore it, start making something, and then drop it without making any "progress".
Productivity is capitalist bullshit that doesn't need to infect your free time too. Have some fun
Attention! Today an anti-trans “documentary” Affirmation Generation is being released on Vimeo. This piece of anti-trans propaganda is full of disinformation and propaganda attacking trans people and trans healthcare. It features Jennifer Bilek, a trans-eliminationist antisemitic ecofascist conspiracy theorist, Joey Brite, an anti-trans activist responsible for organizing protests across the US harassing clinics and medical professionals who help trans youth, various conversion therapists including Stella O’Malley and Sasha Ayad of Genspect and GETA, William Malone, one of the founders of the disinfo-manufacturing pseudo-scientific anti-trans group SEGM, Lisa Littman, promoter of the pseudo-diagnosis “ROGD”, and detransitioned anti-trans activists who work with anti-trans and/or right-wing groups. Vimeo has pulled anti-trans content in the past, so lets get this bullshit off that platform. TERFs and other anti-trans assholes will find other sites to host it but getting it off Vimeo will help limit their reach.
#SparkleSaturday ? After all these years of spinning, this is the first time I've spun with firestar. Roving from Wild Wool Farm: Corriedale w/12% firestar. Colorway Marianas Trench. Wheel my sweet old Clemes and Clemes.
