🗼 Mobile internet will be turned off at the St. Petersburg forum before Putin's arrival — supposedly for "technical work", but in fact to protect the forum site from a possible drone attack 🤣😂

Cats do summer right #catsofmastodon

A former US President has been indicted because he was the biggest threat to America's national security in history.

Let that sink in.

I'm off for a while today! Here, happy #Caturday and also enjoy the washing machine in the background.

School strike, week 251.

Today, I graduate from school, which means I’ll no longer be able to school strike for the climate. This is then the last school strike for me, so I guess I have to write something on this day.

When I started striking in 2018 I could never have expected that it would lead to anything. After striking every day for three weeks, we were a small group of children who decided to continue doing this every Friday. And we did, which is how Fridays For Future was formed.

Some more people joined, and quite suddenly this was a global movement growing every day. During 2019, millions of youth striked from school for the climate, flooding the streets in over 180 countries. When the pandemic started, we had to find new ways to protest.

With time, we started to get back on the streets again. We’re still here, and we aren’t planning on going anywhere. Much has changed since we started, and yet we have much further to go.

We are still moving in the wrong direction, where those in power are allowed to sacrifice marginalised and affected people and the planet in the name of greed, profit and economic growth. They continue to destabilise the biosphere and our life supporting systems. We’re rapidly approaching potential nonlinear ecological and climatic tipping points beyond our control.

And in so many parts of the world, we are even speeding up the process. There are probably many of us who graduate who now wonder what kind of future it is that we are stepping into, even though we did not cause this crisis.

We who can speak up have a duty to do so. In order to change everything, we need everyone. I’ll continue to protest on Fridays, even though it’s not technically “school striking”. We simply have no other option than to do everything we possibly can. The fight has only just begun.

Tonight’s cat on my lap picture

Twitter tells me it's my 15th anniversary today, though it isn't, I first joined in 2006 along with everyone else at Joost.

Twitter then was like an Iron Age village with barely complete public services and daily breakdowns, now, when I visit, it's more like a Dark Age decaying metropolis, with more potholes than road and the same five billboards every hundred yards and angry shouting mobs at each corner.

So I don't visit often.

Shadow pondering the book that is open on my knee, it's The Ultimate Discworld Companion, Everything - And More Besides...

This cat keeps me awake all night, then wants me to stay in bed all day!
