"The glory of life surmounts the fear of death. Good Christian's fear Hellfire, so to avoid it they are kind to their fellow man. Good pagans do not have this fear, so they can be who they are. Good or ill, as their nature dictates. We have no fear of God, so we are accountable to no one but each other."
― John Clare, by Penny Dreadful.
“How can I live without thee, how forego
Thy sweet converse, and love so dearly joined,
To live again in these wild woods forlorn?
Should God create another Eve, and I
Another rib afford, yet loss of thee
Would never from my heart; no, no, I feel
The link of nature draw me: flesh of flesh,
Bone of my bone thou art, and from thy state
Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe.
However, I with thee have fixed my lot,
Certain to undergo like doom; if death
Consort with thee, death is to me as life;
So forcible within my heart I feel
The bond of nature draw me to my own,
My own in thee, for what thou art is mine;
Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.”
― Paradise Lost, by John Milton.

Florida Right to Clean Water
This is a #WatershedMoment. We can make this happen.
With your help, we can bring this initiative to amend Florida's Constitution to the voters in November 2024, so the PEOPLE can decide whether we should hold our State agencies accountable for harm to Florida's waters.

In the name of accountability, I feel I ought to reveal what I ate yesterday. Ready?
2 slices of cold pizza (chicken, mushrooms, olives and garlic butter) at the top of Tom Heights (recce)
Part of a Gregg's Cheese and Onion Bake (binned, vile)
1 packet of Doritos Cool Original
1 Peanut Chunky Kitkat
That saw me through to about 12 when I'd finished photographing Mary's Shell. Hmm, I can't really turn up to my sister's hungry...
1 quarterpounder with cheese
3 mozzarella bites
Sister's house:
Toffee Crisp
Then managed to make it all the way through to 5pm:
3 slices of garlic bread (goats cheese and caramelised onion 😍)
Chicken with a Diane sauce (the 80s called and want their sauce back)
Chocolate icecream rolled in meringue and hazelnuts.
-- The end --
This is what eating carbs does to me, I turn into a voracious bottomless pit 😂
I blame the Met Office.
Frostwick and Ill Bell from a bloody lovely Kentmere Round on Saturday!
This Nkisi Nkonde, captured at Faro Municipal Museum, is a type of power figure from the Congo Basin in Central Africa, specifically associated with the Kongo people. It is a form of Nkisi, a term referring to sacred objects in Kongo spirituality that are believed to house spirits or spiritual forces. The Nkonde (meaning "hunter") is a particular type of Nkisi known for its aggressive, protective, and judicial roles.
Key Features of Nkisi Nkonde:
Appearance:
Typically, these figures are humanoid in shape and made of wood.
They are often adorned with metal objects like nails, blades, or other sharp implements driven into their surface.
The inclusion of these materials is symbolic of the figure's activation or its use in fulfilling spiritual or legal purposes.
Function:
Hunter of Justice: Nkisi Nkonde was used to enforce laws, settle disputes, and exact punishment for wrongdoers. It was believed to "hunt down" those who broke oaths or contracts.
Protector: It served as a guardian against evil forces, illness, or malevolent spirits.
Healer: In some cases, Nkisi Nkonde was associated with healing, balancing spiritual forces within the community.
Activation and Ritual Use:
A spiritual specialist known as an nganga would "charge" the Nkisi Nkonde by embedding medicines (bilongo) into cavities in the figure.
The bilongo materials could include herbs, animal parts, minerals, or other substances with symbolic or spiritual significance.
The act of hammering nails or driving blades into the figure was a way to "wake" or "activate" it, often accompanying rituals and invocations.
Cultural Context:
Nkisi Nkonde reflects the Kongo people's intricate belief systems, which intertwine law, spirituality, and community order.
It was both a physical and metaphysical tool, acting as a tangible focal point for spiritual forces and social accountability.
Colonial Misunderstandings:
When European colonists and missionaries encountered Nkisi Nkonde, they often misinterpreted them as "fetishes" or objects of idolatry, failing to grasp their deeper cultural and spiritual significance.
Many Nkisi Nkonde figures were taken to museums, where they remain as artifacts of African spiritual heritage.
In Modern Times:
Nkisi Nkonde is studied as an important symbol of Kongo art and spirituality.
It is often featured in museum collections and exhibits focused on African art and the spiritual practices of Central Africa.
“Wearing it, cursed by it, serving it, raging at it. Not always in that order.
Want it? Come, try and take it. Please."
A Delirious, Rambling Aberrant;
Born of a freak accident involving Vezok and the Spear of Fusion, Vezon was bound to the Mask of Life as its guardian.
Patiently awaiting his moment; A mutant spider, future visions and the two relics accountable for one's confused existence make for interesting company.
____________________________
I wanted to complement Vezon's chaotic origins through body horror and actual portions of Vezok (mine and Johann's specifically).
I reckoned it would be cooler if the mask fused into his chest (perhaps to further how toxic their relationship was), and I thought it might be neat if the spear could transform based on whether it was set to Fusion or Fission.
Another addition to my Inika/Piraka series, built to emulate Johann's Cursed Wasteland style as his Secret Santa, while coinciding with the 2006 Collab.
My first SS attempts amounted to nothing, so around mid-December I decided to repurpose an existing Vezon WIP, emulating Johann's grim-dark, inhumanly proportioned creatures.
It's hilarious coincidence that he chose Vezok and committed to the half-split so strongly, without any input from me!
Props to Yanni, Brick Brickolson and Buttloaf for their collective work on these fantastic 'box-art' edits.

(...) Before anyone could stop him, the newcomer snatched up the spear. He was about to use it on Vezok when he stopped.
“No, no, bad idea. That will just make another of him… of me… or else something worse."
Reidak slammed into the new arrival and pinned him against the wall.
“What are you? Some new trick of Makuta’s? What happened to Vezok?”
“This happened.” said the being calmly, hefting the spear.
Thok approached and looked at weapon. Carved into the side of the shaft were the words 'Spear of Fusion'.
“Hakann, you imbecile,” he snapped. “You used it in reverse. Instead of fusing Vezok with something else, you split him into two beings! This thing is a vezon.”
“A vezon?” repeated the newly created being. “Oh, yes, the Matoran word for ‘double.’ Yes, that does make sense. I will go by that name, then.
Of course, first I will have to eliminate all of you so no one else knows I am only half a being. You don’t mind, do you?”
The only thing that is constant in life is change. We are always changing. Perspectives change, paths change, boundaries change, goals change. Healing takes time but its always about taking the first step.It is not always about the path of peace and relief, as sometimes that path is disguised as avoidance. But to know that at times when we face adversity in a healthier way, when we take accountability, when we face the uncomfortable, we find the path of peace. Peace is not avoidance, but knowledge of facing life in all aspects.

September 23, 2022: The Special Master met with DOJ and Trump attornies at Federal Court in Brooklyn. Rise and Resist was outside.
Emil Grunzweig was born on July 1, 1947, in Cluj, Romania, into a Jewish family that emigrated to Israel shortly after his birth. He grew up and was educated in Israel, later settling in Jerusalem. He became a high school teacher and devoted his professional life to education, maintaining a civilian profile outside formal political or military power structures. He was married and the father of two daughters. In the early 1980s he joined the Israeli peace movement Peace Now, which advocated for a political solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict and opposed military expansion in the occupied territories. Following the 1982 Lebanon War, Grunzweig publicly opposed the conflict and actively participated in demonstrations demanding political accountability after the Sabra and Shatila massacre. On February 10, 1983, he took part in a Peace Now rally in Jerusalem, held in front of the Prime Minister’s office, calling for the implementation of the Kahan Commission’s conclusions. During the demonstration, a grenade was thrown into the crowd by another Israeli; the explosion killed Emil Grunzweig and injured several other participants. The assailant was later arrested, tried, and sentenced to life imprisonment, a sentence that was subsequently reduced. Grunzweig’s death became one of the most serious episodes of internal political violence in Israel during the 1980s and marked the killing of an Israeli citizen publicly committed to peace and to political accountability in wartime.I publish this series to remember real history and to honor those who paid with their lives for dignity, accountability, and peace. The rights we speak of today were never gifts; they were claimed by individuals who chose conscience over comfort. This work is especially addressed to younger generations, not to glorify death, but to resist indifference, propaganda, and collective amnesia. In a world still shaped by violence and power, remembering these lives is not a passive act. It is an act of awareness, responsibility, and resistance.
Governor Hogan Signs an Executive Order Regarding School Accountability Initiatives. by Joe Andrucyk at Governors Reception Room, 100 State Circle, Annapolis MD 21401
The accountability of fallen leaves
The accountability of fallen leaves.
Vagrant clouds across the night sky.
Accountability.
The insinuated and sorrowful.
And the corruption from within.
Submitting to be changed.
By a systemic imperative.
Endowed through pressure and lip service.

There is no accountability whatsoever and even bad weather can be changed to suit for easy on shop at discount time.

Accountability. I posted the black square in support of BLM and I've made a commitment to listen and learn but how do I hold myself to account? In a years time, how will I know that I've made progress? These are the ponderings of my tired brain today...

Overload - Yard Act
The overload of discontent
The constant burden of making sense
It won't relent, it won't repent
How to remain in dissonance
The overload of discontent
The constant burden of making sense
It won't relent, it won't repent
How to remain in dissonance
Show some respect and listen to my advice
'Cause if you don't challenge me on anything
You'll find I'm actually very nice
Are you listening?
I'm actually very fucking nice

AVIATION SAFETY: FAA's Risk-Based Oversight for Repair Stations Could Benefit from Additional Airline Data and Performance Metrics
Note: The electronic version of this report was reissued September 2, 2016, to correct errors related to figure 1 on page 10.
Note: The United States and Canada have a bilateral aviation safety agreement under which FAA and the Transport Canada Civil Aviation Directorate (TCCA) each grant mutual recognition of the other's Part 145 repair station certificates. FAA does not require Canadian repair stations (referred to as Approved Maintenance Organizations) to obtain a FAA-issued repair station certificate to conduct work on U.S. commercial aircraft as long as a repair station maintains a Canadian repair station certificate and is inspected by TCCA. Because of this mutual recognition, there are no FAA-certificated repair stations in Canada.
