The kitchen trolley didn't quite fit next to the fridge so I've turned it into a desk. Now to improve my posture. #livinginmelbourne

Travelling in Australia…
I appear to have missed the most blunt of them all:
Drowsy Drivers Die.
Ferguson Donation Masterpost
i’ve seen a lot of donation links going around, but no compilation, so here’s all i could find:
Phil Hughes, one of Australia's cricketers, died two days ago. He was hit by a cricket ball in the neck on Tuesday. I am still incredibly lucky in my life, in that no one I know well has died. I know this will change at some point and I will need to learn to deal with death. But at present I'm still confused and the quiet, soft-faced 25 year old from my tv has died and I think I'm sadder than I should be.

I can’t wait to discuss Ferguson over the dinner table this thanksgiving. I’m ready to shoot down all my Wilson supporting family members with a mile long speech.
I am so tired of waiting,
Aren’t you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?

CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland officer was less than 10 feet away when he fatally shot a 12-year-old boy carrying a pellet gun near a playground, and video of the shooting is clear about what happened, police said Monday. The boy was confronted …
This shouldn’t get overlooked in the righteous outrage over Darren Wilson walking free.
This is the second time in a few short months that cops in Ohio… WHICH IS AN OPEN CARRY STATE, so you’re legally ALLOWED to walk around with a gun… have killed a black person, in this case a CHILD, for carrying a TOY gun. In both cases the police approached the scene and opened fire in only a few moments, in the earlier Walmart shooting of John Crawford they were in the building less than 90 seconds before they opened fire.
It’s pretty clear that the only evaluation in their heads is “black person, might have a weapon, start shooting!” Meanwhile all over the country numerous armed WHITE shooters, including cop killers, are talked down & arrested peacefully.
The 911 caller in this case said twice the person with the “weapon” was a juvenile, AND that he thought the gun was a fake. It’s amazing that he could tell all this but trained cops couldn’t tell that the person they killed (who was on the swings with friends when they arrived) was a child with a toy.
so who wants to come over and help me pack and bemoan the state of the world?
