Even In the Homelessness Crisis in Canada, Women's Needs Are Ignored

Among the women I spoke with, more than half had been experiencing homelessness for 10 years or longer. Six of the the women said they have never had a safe place of their own to live for the entirety of their adult lives.

Simha


 [em]While this isn't a mead, and doesn't use any honey, I figured I'd put it in anyhow. Traditionally, it probably did use honey, but this is the modern recipe.[/em]

While this isn't a mead, and doesn't use any honey, I figured I'd put it in anyhow. Traditionally, it probably did use honey, but this is the modern recipe.

Source: Gary Shea

Mead Lover's Digest #241, 7 December, 1993

Ingredients (1 gallon):


  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • Water to make a gallon
  • Two lemons
  • Yeast


Directions:


  • Combine sugars, add water to make 1 gallon, and boil.
  • Squeeze two lemons into the mix and throw them in, quartered.
  • When it's cooled enough add 1/8 tsp of yeast (I used bread yeast).
  • Allow to ferment for a day or two at ~65-70 F.
  • Bottle, adding a few raisins and a tsp of sugar to each bottle.
  • Allow to sit at ~65-70 F until the raisins are sitting at the top (< 1 day).
  • Refrigerate or place in quite cool place.


Notes:


Drink in a couple weeks. So far I have only done one batch and I drank it over the course of two weeks. It keeps getting better and better. Plastic Calistoga bottles are what I've been using, they work great and seem to have no flavor.

This is a Finnish drink called sima or maybe simha, made only for May Day celebrations. The recipes for it that I've seen (and made) are all pretty much like this.

Dave's Notes:


I made a batch of this, and it was pretty tasty while young. If you let it sit too long, though, you'll be back to the vomit-smell problem mentioned in the Grapefruit Melomel recipe. Since I'd bottled in grolsch bottles, when that smell hit me, I just slammed the bottle back shut, and put it in the back of the fridge, hoping my roommate would drink it. Found it about six-months later, and the offensive smell had gone, and it was tasty, but bone-dry. The ideal way to drink this is very young, while it's still fermenting, but if you do like I did and forget a bottle, let it age plenty, and it'll be drinkable.

@trenner is spot on 🎯 "[They're] framing the conversation in a very specific way. Rather than “is this the future you want?”, the question is instead “how will you adapt to this inevitable future?”. Note also the threatening tone present, a healthy psychological undercurrent encouraging you to go with the flow. [...]"

I’m not an expert on these things so are we calling it the Israeli-American genocide of the Palestinian people or the American-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people?

Also, is that fair to Germany?

Is Israeli-American-German genocide of the Palestinian people more precise?

Would that make other EU countries with their own valid contributions to the genocide feel left out?

Thoughts?

My article about #externalisation describes the problem that responsibilities that should be dealt with from within are being put outside of ourselves, the government, multinationals, countries:
- Manufacturing outside the country.
- Victim mentality.
- Irresponsible pharmaceuticals.
- Screentime and FOMO.
- Religion to substitute consciousness.
The list goes on.

Testing, testing, testing – Let’s Smile (episode 3)


image

Video: 00:07:25

Smile is a brand-new space mission currently in the making. It will study how Earth responds to the solar wind and solar storms.

At the European Space Agency’s technical heart in the Netherlands, engineers have spent the last four months carrying out ‘spacecraft environment testing’ – putting Smile through its paces to make sure it is ready for the shaky rocket launch, the vacuum of space and the extreme temperatures it will face in orbit around Earth.

Now all complete, Smile is one step closer to launch in 2026.

This video provides a glimpse into the testing process. It is the third episode in a series of short videos, and includes interviews with David Agnolon (ESA Smile Project Manager), Chris Runciman (ESA Smile System Engineer), Laura Malena Lottes (ESA Smile Mechanical Engineer), Benjamin Vanoutryve (ESA Smile AIT/AIV and Launcher Interface Principal Engineer), Li Jing (CAS Smile Project Manager), He Tau (CAS Smile Mechanical Engineer) and Zhu Xiaofei (CAS Smile Thermal Engineer).

Smile (the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) is a joint mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Smile is due to launch on a European Vega-C rocket in 2026. Follow the latest mission news via _[em]esa.int/smile _.[/em]

Bayrou veut donc supprimer le jour férié célébrant la victoire contre le nazisme.
Au moins comme ça c'est clair.

lemonde.fr/politique/live/2025…

Le Monde: "Le premier ministre annonce vouloir la suppression de deux jours fériés, et propose deux dates : le lundi de Pâques et le 8-Mai « Il faut que toute la nation travaille plus pour produire et pour que l’activité du pays dans son ensemble soit plus importante dans l’année. Pour que la situation de la France s’améliore. Je propose donc que deux jours fériés soient supprimés pour tout le pays », ajoute François Bayrou. « Le lundi de Pâques, qui n’a aucune signification religieuse et le 8 mai, dans un mois de mai devenu un véritable gruyère », dit le premier ministre."

En direct, budget 2026 : François Bayrou annonce une « année blanche », sans hausse des prestations sociales ni des pensions de retraite

Le premier ministre propose la suppression de deux jours fériés : le lundi de Pâques et le 8-Mai. L’effort budgétaire sera porté en 2026 à 43,8 milliards d’euros, contre 40 milliards envisagés.

I dreamed last night I was on a cruise and went on a hike. A man stopped next to me because the pathway was too narrow to let oncoming people pass. I thought hey, that’s Tom Petty, and I said “I guess ‘I’ll politely wait my turn until it’s safe to go’ isn’t as catchy a title, huh?” 🤣

I've noticed this yesterday and I think it should be done as advent, knowing the task beforehand ruins part of the fun for me 😅

E.g. this one — should I use it for painting or maybe a shadow? Or maybe I should hold it for the day of orange cover — because I have a shortage of these?
Seeing the whole calendar I start rearranging the order in advance, so that I have a designated cover for each of them on day 1 😂
