THIS IS THE CALL OF CTHULU
DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHARGES
Writing up an annual report for ACC and noting that mirror.accum.se has saved 1600 tons of plastic, if the alternative had been delivering the same data on CDs instead of downloads.
The more absurd the comparison, the greener the activity?

Oh, and a thing happened this morning... showering, doorbell goes, grab towel, runs to door.
DPD man is staring, I take the parcel and wonder why the stares today when he's seen me so many times in the past.
I go back in and to the bathroom, catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I realise I've wrapped the towel waist down like a man would, yet I now have boobage and should be wrapping chest down like a woman would.
DPD man got an eyefull of boobs this morning, oops.
@sophie oh gosh it should've been... but nope, I meant him.
but now, sure... all flirty from this point onwards.
And costumes. Lewd costumes. Over the top ones. I believe in you.
And if you want to post pics for totally not horny reasons, oh um… well… 🥺👉👈

I finally got a lock and actually used my bike, for the first time since the move. Biking here immediately seems so much nicer than what I am used to.
Like, cars seem to see me here. So weird.
That sounds amazing! Your new area keeps getting better and better, eh?
I'm hoping this may be the same case where I'm moving. It may be a pipe dream, but I'd like to partake in the many bike paths and lanes.

Trump droht EU mit 200-Prozent-Zöllen auf Wein und Champagner
US-Präsident Trump wettert gegen die geplanten Gegenzölle der EU und droht weitere Maßnahmen an. Sollte die EU nicht einlenken, werde es Wein und Champagner treffen - mit Zöllen bis zu 200 Prozent.

Please send this to your Senators regarding the budget bill. (Background: The House passed a stop-gap bill Tuesday to fund the government through September and the Senate must vote on it. The House has gone into recess to force the Senate to accept the bill with no changes. )
Dear Senator --
For months Republicans have talked about how they were going to fund their legislative priorities, but here we are again, facing another Continuing Resolution.
In your negotiations in the Senate, constantly remind everyone that the Constitution Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 gives the power of the purse to Congress, not the President. The President has no legitimate authority under the Constitution for meddling in the appropriations process.
The Continuing Resolution must include language reminding the Executive Branch that it has no budgetary power over Congress. Make Republicans vote on their support for the Constitutional separation of powers.
Stand firm in your efforts.

I want a electric car. More so, I want one that can self-drive.
But I was never going to buy a Tesla, even before Elon Musk showed his true Nazi-loving colors. - Why?
I want to own my car - all of it. Every feature, every function, mine to do with what I wish. And certainly no lifetime subscription fees.
"In his own twisted way, Donald Trump has become a unifying figure. He’s more politically divisive than ever, but his outright attacks on liberal democracy everywhere have managed to rally America’s traditional allies against a common threat — one he sees when he looks in the mirror."
