Ohhhhhh my goddddddddd so I’ve basically been to the doctor three times since turning 18 and aging out of the pediatrician because of my horrible doctor fears and issues. So it’s a MOMENTOUS occasion and the culmination of years of glacial self-work that I felt ready FINALLY READY to sit down and make a doctors appointment for a routine visit!! Like that is give or take a decade in the making…….and all the ethereal alchemical elements were correct so I could finally do it this morning. But the clinic is closed and you can only do it weekdays ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ ok guess I am going to the doctor in 10 years probably. See you 2034
#the year when the water riots destroy Los Angeles finally#i want to go bc I need an inhaler and a blood panel ;-;#that’ll be $200 total probably!!!!!! agghdgdgdh#ok lucky for me my tax statement from 2023 was lowwwww bc I did most of my work under the table…#me who is low income when services for low income exist: but that’s 4 ppl who really need it!!!!! meanwhile I only eat dried beans#but basically I’ll probably make a bit more this year so I might try to get all the 10 years of accumulated cavities taken care of now#while it only costs 6 months’ paycheck and not 6 years!#I’ve got a really insane visible hole in my canine it’s soooo bad#:-/#the thing is that my mental health is so good rn I’m like wtf was I doinggggggg and I get so mad at myself. how quickly we forget the#horrors…#and also my hope is that since it’s a low income clinic they’ll be really kind to me when they tell me I have 18 cavities :-(#also me who has slipped through the cracks of the healthcare system due to mental health and gets flagged by social services meant to catch#people slipping through the cracks: but you guys should focus on the ppl who REALLY need it!!!!! I’m literally fine *dies of completely#preventable ailment that would’ve been flagged by routine bloodwork*

MONDAY, JUNE 5, 2023 AT 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM UTC+02
Tüntetés a városi varjak kínzása és kegyetlen pusztítása ellen!
XIII. Kerületi Önkormányzat Polgármesteri Hivatal
A Tüntetés 2023.06.05-én a XIII. kerületi Önkormányzat épülete előtt, a Béke tér 1. szám alatt lesz! A célja a figyelemfelhívás, és hogy követeljük a csapdák azonnali leszerelését! A rendőrség biztosítja a részünkre a helyszínt.
Ha Te is felháborítónak tartod, hogy csak azért, mert elvétve megijeszt egy-két járókelőt egy-egy dolmányos varjú - szimplán ösztönből, hiszen a földön lévő fiókáját védi -, az önkormányzat olyan csapdákat helyezett ki a XIII. kerületben, amelyekből nem tudnak szabadulni az állatok, így információink szerint vagy megölik őket fojtásos módszerrel, vagy pedig egyszerűen kiszáradnak és éhen pusztulnak. Természetesen a fiókák hiába várják vissza a szülőket, ők is éhhalálra lettek ítélve ezáltal. Ez a tömeges természetkárosítás, kegyetlen állatkínzás egyáltalán nincs arányban azzal a kellemetlenséggel, hogy éppen egy járókelőre támad egy madár, hiszen ebbe még senki sem halt bele. Állítsuk meg ezt az embertelen, természetkárosító viselkedést!
Az MME megerősítette, hogy ezek a csapdák csalimadárral működnek (vagy már egy elfogott varjú képében, vagy pedig egy kiskacsa, vagy kisebb énekes madár képében), majd ott hagyják őket éhhalálra ítélve, vagy pedig összeszedik, és fojtásos módszerrel, vagy nyakkitekeréssel elpusztítják őket. A nagyobb probléma, hogy a kis fiókák is éhhalálra vannak ítélve, hiszen hiába várja vissza a szülőket.
A problémát nem tagadjuk, ellenben semmi sem jogosíthatja fel az önkormányzatot arra, hogy ilyen állatkínzást kövessen el! Megoldási javaslatunk az edukáció és információs táblák kihelyezése az érintett területeken. A IV. kerületben például körbekerítik az érintett helyszíneket.
Ne hagyjuk, hogy ilyen embertelen körülmények között pusztuljanak és szenvedjenek ezek az intelligens madarak csak azért, mert elvettük az összes élőhelyét, és egy-két ember megijesztenek! Varjútámadásba még senki sem halt bele, ellenben mi embertelenül kínozzuk és kivégezzük őket!
A Tüntetés 2023.06.05-én a XIII. kerületi Önkormányzat épülete előtt, a Béke tér 1. szám alatt lesz! A célja a figyelemfelhívás, és hogy követeljük a csapdák azonnali leszerelését! A rendőrség biztosítja a részünkre a helyszínt.
Hozzatok táblákat, molinókat, de ne legyünk trágárok, békésen, skandálva hívjuk fel az emberek - és legfőképp az önkormányzat - figyelmét, hogy sokan vagyunk, akik ellenzik ezt a természetpusztítást!
Gyertek minél többen, osszátok, hívjatok meg mindenkit, mert egyébként ez országos ügy, csak most a XIII. kerületben összpontosul!
Közben pedig írd alá Te is a petíciónkat:
-----------------
köszönet @szepkerekkocka
van egy másik petíció is
aznap van a pedagógusnapi demonstráció is

バイクを2時間半ほど走らせ、洞爺湖へ。6月も半ばを過ぎて、身に受ける風が涼し���て気持ち良い。5年ほど乗っているがこの季節のバイクは、走り始めに声が漏れ出るほど感動する。甘くとろっとした匂いがして、顔を向けるとニセアカシアの木が白い花を鈴なりにつけている。ニセアカシアの季語は夏だ。北海道の短い夏がやってきた。
洞爺湖は、地図で見るとドーナツみたいな形をしている。湖上の真ん中に浮かぶ中島には、遊覧船に30分乗れば行けるようだが一度も行ったことはない。新緑の木々が木漏れ日を作る、湖畔の細い道を走っていく。活火山があって温泉街があり、国立森林公園として湖を眺むキャンプ場がある洞爺湖町だ。けれどわたしは景観だけでなく、ここを拠点として住まう人たちとその生活が好きだ。のんびりとしたキャンプ用品屋さん、おまじないのような薬膳茶やドリンクを一杯ずつ作ってくれるカフェ、ハンバーグが美味しくて庭先の花が沢山綺麗な老舗洋食店、大きなパンを売っている石窯パン屋、陽気なハンバーガー屋、心に灯りをつけるようなケーキのある喫茶店。洞爺湖の外周には楽しいお店が点在している。店主も洞爺湖町が好きだからか、みんな気さくでたおやかな空気を纏っている。いつも、いらっしゃいませ以外の会話をする。その店たちのインスタグラムなどを見ていると、時たま洞爺湖の写真が投稿される。晴れていて凪いでいたり、霧で中島が見えなかったり、風があって波が立っていたり。夏は緑に、冬は雪で白く中島が染まる。穏やかな日々。ゆったりと時間が流れて、生活ひとつひとつの瞬間に意味や心が映されているような気がする。喧騒と離れて立ち止まって人と会話ができるような、洞爺湖と共にある生活もいいなと彼らを見ていつも��う。

Hit Him Harder
He doesn’t expect to wake up again.
He’d expected the man to keep whaling on him, to finish him off once he was unconscious. But apparently they’d stopped to wait for him to wake up.
Trudy is still crying, still struggling against the ropes binding her.
“S’okay Sarge.” he breathes, struggling to get his feet under him.
She shakes her head angrily and he lets his head drop back to his chest.
It hurts to breathe.
“N’fault.” he gasps. “Sorry had to see this.”
“You get him beaten to death and he’s apologizing to you.” the man scoffs. “Who is this guy?”
“N’idiot.” Jay gasps. “F’ya lisen t’my br-”
He’s cut off by another fist slamming into his stomach. Guess the break is over.
“Still too much sass left in this one.” the man in charge says, shaking his head. “Hit him harder.”
The statement is punctuated by a baseball bat being handed to the guy who’s been smacking him around.
He pulls off the brass knuckles and hands them over in return. Then he turns back to Jay with a wide grin, swinging the bat back.
He hears something crack as the bat impacts his chest. Four more blows follow and Jay’s knees buckle.
As he swings back for the next strike, one of the other guys grabs the bat.
“Hey Greg.” he says. “I got a couple of cricket balls, what do you say we try some target practice instead?”
“Up to Matt.” Greg says with a shrug, lowering the bat.
“I don’t care.” The guy in charge, Matt, says. “Long as you don’t miss too much.”
Jay takes the lull in the abuse to get his feet back underneath him, swallowing back a groan as he works on breathing through his nose.
The other guy comes back with the balls and Greg backs away from Jay as the guy sets up next to him.
Jay watches the pitch fly across the room. Maybe Greg will miss.
But the guy makes clean contact with the ball, sending it flying directly at Jay.
It slams directly into his chest and he groans.
“Now that is a hit.” Matt cheers. “Can you do it again?”
“If Tony can keep up the great pitching.” Greg cheers.
“Ready for another one?” Tony asks.
“Batter up.” Greg says, hefting the bat.
The next pitch is returned off center and sends him staggering back and twisting away from the force. His movement is stopped by a second hit to the other side that spins him back toward center.
Tony and Greg seem to have found a rhythm because the hits just keep coming, trading sides of his chest to keep him off balance.
Every punch to the chest forces the air out of his lungs and the pauses between them aren’t enough to give him the chance to replace it.
Just as he’s about to pass out from the lack of oxygen, they finally stop. He hangs limply from the chains, struggling to draw another breath.
When the fog finally retreats enough for him to be aware of anything other than the fight to breathe Trudy is begging them to stop from behind the gag.
Every breath he takes causes his chest to spasm, his lungs barely able to pull in any oxygen.
He tastes copper and he supposes that explains some of the horror on Trudy’s face.
He coughs, staring down at the spatter of blood that paints the floor.
That’s not good.
The next ball arcs up to slam into his throat and he gags, bile filling his mouth.
He lurches forward, stomach somersaulting.
The vomit burns as it’s ripped from his throat and the taste of copper intensifies.
His shoulders are screaming as the motion jerks against his bound wrists.
His lungs scream for oxygen, puking just making it harder to draw in even a partial breath.
His eyes burn with tears and he closes them.
He needs to get out of here. Needs to find a way to get himself and Trudy to safety.
What will they do to her after he dies? He doesn’t have much longer. Between the oxygen shortages and internal bleeding he’s not going to be hanging in here much longer.
They don’t even wait for him to pull himself together. Almost as soon as he stops puking another ball is slamming into his stomach.
His stomach convulses again and the hit, off center this time, spins him to the side and opens up his lower back to the next hit.
The momentum keeps him spinning.
Just as he completes his first 360, Greg coming back into view readying the bat for another hit, a shot rings out and the man drops.
Jay continues spinning and doesn’t see anything else. But more shots ring out and he hears Matt shouting. Then everything goes quiet.
A hand lands on his arm and he jumps away, shoulder crying out in agony as his feet leave the floor.
“Easy Jay.” Trudy says, gently steadying him. “Try to breathe.”
He wants to laugh. Breathing is all that he’s been trying to do for the last ten minutes.
“T-t-” he gasps.
“Don’t try to talk.” she urges. “Let’s get you down from there. I’m gonna step away for a minute but I’m not leaving, not going anywhere.”
He can’t help but whimper as her hand leaves his arm but after a minute the chains suspending him lower.
He tries to lock his knees, to stay standing as the weight on his legs increases but a cough rips its way from his throat and he drops to his knees.
She unlocks the cuffs, arms looping under his armpits as he collapses, and lowers him to the ground. He can’t stop coughing as she helps him roll onto his back, cradling his head in the crook of her arm.
He hears the beeping of a phone screen and then a clinical voice.
“911. What’s the location of your emergency?”
“This is Trudy Platt, badge number 34299. I don’t know where we are, I’ll need you to trace this call and route Intelligence to this location, rush an ambulance and send the coroner.”
“Getting a location now. Ambulance is already rolling.” the dispatcher chirps. “I’m patching you in with Sgt. Voight now.”
“Trudy?”
“Hank.” Trudy says. “Jay, keep your eyes open.”
Jay forces his eyes back open. He’s tired, cold, and still struggling to pull in a full breath.
“I know, Jay.” she soothes, fingers carding through his hair. “Just stay with me, kid. Hank, Jay’s hurt. You need to hurry.”
He tries to stay with her. He really does but it’s so hard to breathe and he’s so tired. No matter how hard he fights to stay close to the surface he can’t.
He definitely doesn’t expect to wake up again this time.
The beep of the machines wakes him up.
He’s not feeling any pain but everything feels tight and heavy.
He rolls his head to the right, a tired smile spreading on his face as he takes in the desk sergeant sitting next to the bed.
“Sarge?”
“Jay!” she says, sitting up. “How are you feeling?”
“I’m alive.” he says, offering her a small shrug. “You saved my sorry ass.”
“Only seemed fair.” she tells him. “Considering I was the reason your sorry ass was there to get that beat down.”
“It wasn’t your fault, Sarge.” he says, shaking his head.
“Matthew Vera was looking to hurt me.” she reminds him. “You got caught in the crossfire. And that’s not fair.”
“The reasons he was gunning for you weren’t fair either.” he points out. “You think I don’t recognize the name?”
“Is there anything you don’t know?” she asks.
“Nope.” Jay says with a smirk.
“You should try to get some rest.” Trudy tells him. “I’m not going anywhere.”
“You don’t have to stay.” he says, shifting against the sheets and already blinking tiredly.
“Kid.” she says, smoothing his blankets. “I’m not going anywhere. Get some sleep.”
He nods, offering her a small smile and then letting his eyes drift closed.
“He was my bus driver.” he whispers as the fog starts to cloud his mind.
By the time she processes his words, connects them to their conversation in the parking lot, he’s already asleep.
But it’s a start.
