Unauthorized #fire#truck wandering around #Sacramento, fire department is asking people to contact law enforcement if seen. Apparently driven by two heavily tattooed guys without shirts 🤔 #FireDepartment
One of the hilarious things going on is that the big capital-owned news companies in Canada decided that they wanted some of Facebook's money.
So they bribed the Canadian politicians into writing a copyright law which requires that anyone who links to the big capital-owned news companies pay those big capital-owned media conglomerates money for every link.
😆 🤣
Obviously Facebook then just stopped allowing their users to do that, because they don't even want their users to leave Facebook and go to news company websites anyway. It's the users that wanted to be able to link like that.
😆 🤣 And now.. And now..🤣 😆
For reasons not unrelated to the corporate/capital capture of law and sovereignty, all of Canada is in fire.
People are trying to tell their friends on Facebook about how they have to immediately leave the town because it's going to burn down and they are all going to die.
But they are trying to do so by linking to the local capital-owned news media conglomerate's web-pages.
But doing that isn't allowed any more because, the news media conglomerates demand payment for that sort of thing, backed up by genuinely paid-for "democratic" bribery to the Canadian political parties.
😆 🤣 And now.. And now..🤣 😆
The Canadian government is today demanding that Facebook allow the linking even though it's the Canadian government's laws that tax and so forbid it.
😆
This timeline is so fucking cursed. I really hate it when Facebook is right.
Though I do hate it more when people are all burning.
"The main goal of everyone right now is a cease-fire," Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told USA TODAY. "You can't do anything without a cease-fire − you can't do humanitarian aid, you can't treat the wounded, you can't even remove bodies until there's a cease-fire."...
This week's #MythologyMonday theme is fire and there are two major Greek gods associated with fire: #Hestia, goddess of the hearth, and #Hephaistos, god of smiths.
They represent #fire in two different forms: the sacrificial flame of the hearth as the sacred centre of domestic life and the flame of Hephaistos, source of all arts, and fuel of the funeral pyre. But both could be invoked for the cooking of sacrificial meat or a good meal:
Last time I made paper I had some pulp left over so I put it into this heart mold I had and now I have paper pulp hearts and I feel like the only appropriate thing to do is light them ablaze and let them burn...

Here's Marley's Hill in the Port Hills of Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, as seen from our house. The photo of it on fire is this morning, the other I took on Saturday.
I've been taking photos of this view every fortnight from our deck, watching how the hill has been recovering from the 2017 Port Hills fire. The clock has just been reset.
See Flickr for the full-res photos if you want to zoom in.
Massive fire ongoing at military storage facility in Tel Hashomer, Israel, May 14.
Authorities are reportedly responding to a warehouse fire at Tel Hashomer military base the afternoon of May 14. The cause of the blaze is currently unclear. There are no immediate reports of casualties.Heightened security and localized transport and business disruptions are likely in the affected area over the coming hours. Officials could evacuate nearby premises as a precaution.
There are no reports of what caused the fire, but it's one of the largest weapons storage locations in Israel.
History about me that probably no one here knows and typing this will likely make me sob then go to bed.
Anyone that follows me, and pays attention, knows I'm a child of abuse.
What you might not know is that I started leaving home at 13 (1st time I remember as an extended period).
What you likely don't know is that I was alone the last semester of my senior yr of HS, at least the last semester (best of my memory). I took my mom out of an institution on a furlough to see me graduate (she was forced there bc of "terroristic threats" against my abusive father bc she said "I could kill you for everything you've done to me" and went to bed; she woke up surrounded by police), in any event, shortly after I graduated, like less than a month for sure, she was released and she took him back.
He took everything I saved.
He told me to leave. He then tried to have me arrested over a land line phone I took with me, princess pink, I hope he enjoyed that phone.
I was immediately in need of housing and work.
My sister (🕯) helped me get an apartment (I was a minor), my retail job let me pick up hours. This was the 90s ppl, the economy sucked ass in NJ.
My eldest bro started sending me the job postings from OH where he was at the time.
Eventually I said "Fuck it. I have nothing to lose, literally", despite not knowing him (he left home when I was 5, bc of abusive father, and came back 1/yr, 2/yr at best).
I took a job as a contractor at the company I'm still with at the age of 18 (guesstimate). They hired me at 19 (for sure). They've promoted me to levels and pay that PhDs have.
When I say that I have fire, I mean I have fire.
Why does this matter to me right now???
What I saved was taken from me, my self worth was stolen from me as a child. I had desires. I had knowledge. I had passion. I had potential.
I was NOT going to let anything rob my son of his potential. I needed him to have opportunities that I didn't have, in ways I didn't have. After all, my intentions have always been to break the fucking chain of abuse.
I was set on paying for his college as hard as it might be. (As a single mom, bc I couldn't help myself but to date "the abusive man" hoping I could be his salvation. Never took a dime in child support.)
But I made my son take out a 5k loan his 1st semester bc I wanted him to feel invested in his future.
He has, at every turn in his life, exceeded my expectations. **The best human I know. For real.**💜💘💜
And so today, I decided that my college graduation gift to him will be to pay off that loan, because I can, with a grimace, but can.
The master bathroom remodel can continue to wait.
✌️💜
Happy graduation to my baby.
(Also, since on topic of a pos somewhere in this very long post:
🖕 I always told you I'd win, "dad". I've won. I am everything you told me I wasn't and more (🎶32 flavors and then some🎶). My only sorrow is that my mother couldn't join us this weekend, but I bet I see a single 🕊.)
Thank you to any of you that actually read all this. I see I'm in the thousands of characters 😬🤐💜✌️💜💞🌺 #IamWhatIam #DoYou #KeepOn #Fire

I've got about another 10 months left at my current job and after that... I don't know what I'll do. I've already moved down to 4 days a week in an effort to glide down to FIRE. Do I really want to go back up to 5 days? Could I find somewhere that would be […]
