The mosque in my city that got send a letter with a bullet in it the other day just received another one and it shocks me to see how little people care.
So in my Dutch hometown there will be an anti migration protest at which some far right leaders will join. It's near the city hall. A counter protest is expected.
My mom works at the city hall and she has to evacuate the building after 16h otherwise safety can't be properly guaranteed. Wild to think that my mom is now at danger from actual fascists.
So a woman stabbed a man after a night out when the man started attacking her friend out in the street at night. The guy is now in a stable condition after fighting for his life for a few days.
The woman got arrested and might face attempted murder charges now. Fuck this world man.
I used to work several physical demanding jobs, from a steel factory to carpentry to a warehouse dragging beer kegs for 12 hours a day but I have never been as fatigued as my current office job. That is not to say that office work is harder than back breaking work but I do feel like the toll it takes on your psyche and body gets underestimated a lot.
Absolutely scorching right now. And the stupid thing is that as soon as the sun is away the humidity ramps up to above 70 so you just lay the rest of the night sticking to whatever it is you're touching. Tomorrow will be even hotter.
Can't imagine being any further south where it is even hotter. Though I had to be in the middle of the city at the hottest time of the day today so I got to experience the radiating concrete. Sweating away at the commie meeting.
A new law was implemented here today that will see capital gains taxed at a higher percentage (only slightly so). It will be free of tax until a 10k profit is reached.
Now, people are swarming to the comments online saying this will just target the 'middle class good intentions father'.
I hope these people get a reality check soon. 10k in profits (FROM INVESTING!!!! PER YEAR!!!!) is not middle class.
He's still a politician in the Third Reich and nowhere near a revolutionary marxist that some people make him out to be. When the other candidates are genocidal maniacs you can see the 'maybe let's not do that' candidate as a good guy but ultimately we need much more than what Zohran is.
We'll see what he turns out to be. Hopefully the comrades in the NY area use this as a way to get in touch with more people.
Currently I grow flat beans which is a more generic sort I picked up at the store. I wasn't sure if they'd manage as my balcony is kinda shady and my squash plant didn't do too well last year (though it did gave some squash). But it is going well so far. If I could pick another sort right now I'd pick lentils as I eat them literally every day and I love them lol.
Radish is kinda picky as it needs a bit cooler temps and moist soil so I'm guessing the Hawaii climate might not be ideal lol. It could also be the month you sow that makes the difference. Right now I'm growing red meat radish and they need to be spread no earlier than June.
For this year I decided to grow legumes on my city balcony and I had the first harvest of the year this weekend. I picked 50 grams of legumes from the plant and there was at least 2-3 times as much coming up for the next round. It's fun to see what you can do with such limited space. I also grow strawberries, lettuce, different tea herbs, thyme, spinach, radish, peppers, basil and some other herbs.
Contemplating going back to my home town Tuesday to form an anti racist protest as a reaction of Geert Wilders and his anti immigrant protest over there. But it's at 6 and I have a job and it's over an hour drive so probably won't make it. Just hope others are able to then.
If anyone ever wants to know something about the cluster fuck that is Belgian politics:
Belgium is devided into a Dutch speaking part and a French speaking part. As a result, most parties have grown into a Dutch side or a French side. This can lead to either one being elected for government. This is now the case with the socdems. The Dutch part of Vooruit is elected to rule with the neolibs while their French part PS is not. Vooruit is going along with the budget cuts while PS is fighting against it. Literally fighting against their own party.
They even share the same building in Brussels. Can you imagine having to work on finding ways to do opposition while possibly sitting next to your coworker working on government plans?
There's this absolutely brain dead tv show in The Netherlands on the most stupid tv channel there is but one of the people in it is called El Che. That's his first name and I'm only slightly jealous.
So Jeff Bezos can rent out the entire city of Venice for his wedding and all the media are so quirky about it like it's not a fucking bizarre thing to do
