Metelkova is one of the weirdest places to see in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital. Formerly, the site was the Slovenian headquarter of the Yugoslav National Army. The buildings have been squatted since September 1993 in a declared illegal way, mainly by artists, activists and young students. In 2005, Metelkova was declared a national cultural heritage site and the European Cultural Fund attributes financial support. If you like graffiti, weird art, and quirky sculptures then this is the place to head to.
Ces trois ours, autrefois maîtres de cet environnement glacé, ne reconnaissent plus leur territoire. La diminution de la banquise a réduit leurs opportunités de chasse aux phoques, leur principale source de nourriture. Ces changements les poussent à adopter de nouvelles stratégies de survie, comme se reposer davantage pour conserver leur énergie. Cependant, même ces efforts ne suffisent pas à compenser la perte calorique quotidienne qu’ils subissent.
Face à ces défis, les ours semblent symboliser un appel silencieux mais puissant pour la protection de leur habitat. Leur lutte quotidienne attire l’attention sur les effets dévastateurs du changement climatique non seulement sur la biodiversité mais aussi sur l’humanité elle-même. Les scientifiques et les organisations environnementales utilisent l’image emblématique des ours polaires pour sensibiliser le public et inciter à des actions concrètes contre le réchauffement climatique.
Ainsi, ces trois ours polaires deviennent malgré eux des militants pour une cause plus grande. Leur lutte pour survivre dans un monde en changement rapide est un rappel poignant de l’urgence d’agir pour préserver notre planète et ses habitants vulnérables.

These three bears, once masters of this icy environment, no longer recognize their territory. The shrinking sea ice has reduced their opportunities to hunt seals, their main food source. These changes are forcing them to adopt new survival strategies, such as resting more to conserve energy. However, even these efforts are not enough to compensate for the daily caloric loss they suffer.
In the face of these challenges, the bears seem to symbolize a silent but powerful call for the protection of their habitat. Their daily struggle draws attention to the devastating effects of climate change not only on biodiversity but also on humanity itself. Scientists and environmental organizations use the iconic image of polar bears to raise awareness and encourage concrete action against global warming.
In this way, these three polar bears are reluctant activists for a greater cause. Their struggle to survive in a rapidly changing world is a poignant reminder of the urgent need to act to preserve our planet and its vulnerable inhabitants.

Dear Minister Hummelgaard, I am writing to you from Italy.
Denmark has a proud history of defending human rights and justice. Now is the time to take the right side to protect the environment and free Captain Paul Watson. This situation has gone on too long and Captain Watson is innocent.
Don't make yourselves complicit with Japan. The international community and also Italy are informed through the press of the injustice against an elderly and meritorious environmental activist such as Paul Watson.

Egregio Ministro Hummelgaard, Le scrivo dall'Italia.
La Danimarca ha una gloriosa storia di difesa dei diritti umani e della giustizia. Ora è il momento di schierarsi dalla parte giusta per proteggere l'ambiente e liberare il Capitano Paul Watson. Questa situazione è durata troppo a lungo e il Capitano Watson è innocente.
Non rendetevi complici del Giappone. La comunità internazionale e anche l'Italia sono informati tramite la stampa dell'ingiustizia a danno di un anziano e meritorio attivista per l'ambiente quale Paul Watson.

“On the evening of May 4, 1886, a tragedy of international significance unfolded in Chicago’s Haymarket produce district. An outdoor meeting had been hastily organized by anarchist activists to protest the violent death of workers during a labor lockout the previous day in another area of the city.
Spectators gathered in the street as speakers addressed political, social and labor issues from atop a freight wagon from the adjacent factory. When approximately 175 policemen approached with an order to disperse the meeting, a dynamite bomb was thrown into their ranks.
The identity and affiliation of the person who threw the bomb have never been determined; this anonymous act had many victims. From the blast and panic that followed, seven policemen and at least four civilian bystanders lost their lives, but the victims of the incident were not limited to those who died as a direct result of the bombing. In the aftermath, those who organized and spoke at the meeting – and others who held unpopular political viewpoints – were arrested, unfairly tried and, in some cases, sentenced to death even though none could be tied to the bombing itself.
Meeting organizers George Engel and Adolf Fisher along with speakers August Spies and Albert Parsons were put to death by hanging. Activist Louis Lingg died violently in jail prior to his scheduled execution. Meeting speaker Samuel Fielden, and activists Oscar Neebe and Michael Schwab were sentenced to prison, but later pardoned in 1893 bu Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld, citing the injustices of their trial.
Over the years, the site of the Haymarket bombing has become a powerful symbol for a diverse cross-section of people, ideals and movements. Its significance touches on the issues of free speech, the right of public assembly, organized labor, the fight for the eight hour work day, law enforcement, justice, anarchy and the right of every human being to pursue an equitable and prosperous life. For all, it is a poignant lesson in the rewards and consequences inherent in such human pursuits..”

Marc Emery - Marijuana messiah
To mark 4/20, here's a photo that has some historical context:
Taken August 14, 2014 in Toronto,it shows Canadian cannabis activist Marc Emery, aka "The Prince of Pot,"with supporters just days after his release from serving a five year sentence in a US federal prison for selling mail-order cannabis seeds into the US.
The T-shirts read "Free Marc Emery"
In a vindication, on October 17, 2018, Canada became the second country in the world to legalize the sale and possession of cannabis.

Arefa is taking a gap year. Her mother said to her during her year off it was time to learn to cook. Her Dad said to mum " leave her alone she is very busy been an activist".
Arefa has recently returned from Sydney where she attended the Action Lab.
Arefa lives in Waikerie and came to Australia when she was 14 with her family. When she arrived she couldn't speak english so the internet became her life line as she found an online community that spoke her language.
Up until year 11 Arefa didnt have any Aussie friends, when she moved to Adelaide she was forced to make new friends and learn more about the Aussie culture and language and she said "that it wasn't hard as it seems". As soon as she got involved with Vision Generation it all came together very fast. She belives this is because she gained alot of self confidence as she became more comfortable in her own skin.
Arefa is very passionate about making a difference. Her goal is to become the Youth Representitive for the United Nations in Australia.

A rare photo op for me.....these beautiful birds stop at the California-Arizona border. This wonderful male Cardinal was photographed at the Magic Hedge at Montrose Point, in Chicago. His mate was nearby, but she stayed in the deep shade.
