Like so many millions of people around the world, I am completely shaken by the war in Ukraine.
This is my SL depiction based on a RL image I saw online of a decimated cemetery in Ukraine several days ago. The heart stopping image haunted me...and I was profoundly moved.
What is happening in Ukraine is simply horrendous. I am appalled that we are 22 years into this NEW CENTURY, NEW MILLENIUM and horrific and vile war crimes such as those committed during WWII are actually occurring! It seems history only repeats itself.
PLEASE, AS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY, LET US PRAY FOR PEACE FOR UKRAINE!!! AND PRAY THAT THE TERRIBLE PERPETRATOR (S) ARE CAUGHT, HELD RESPONSIBLE, TRIED AND PUNISHED FOR THEIR CRIMES IN THE SOVEREIGN NATION OF UKRAINE!!! LET JUSTICE PREVAIL!!!!
The link below is for a song by Clan of Xymox's. It was written for this war in Ukraine and the video is amazing and heart wrenching.

« La composition doit être une de nos préoccupations constantes, mais au moment de photographier elle ne peut être qu’intuitive, car nous sommes aux prises avec des instants fugitifs où les rapports sont mouvants. »
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Argiope bruennichi
The spider builds a spiral orb web at dawn or dusk, commonly in long grass a little above ground level, taking it approximately an hour. The prominent zigzag shape called the stabilimentum, or web decoration, featured at the centre of the orb is of uncertain function, though it may be to attract insects.
When a prey item is first caught in the web, Argiope bruennichi will quickly immobilise its prey by wrapping it in silk. The prey is then bitten and then injected with a paralysing venom and a protein-dissolving enzyme. (Wikipedia)

Wespenspinne (auch Zebraspinne, Tigerspinne oder Seidenbandspinne) - von der Unterseite
Im Schnitt benötigt eine Wespenspinne 40 Minuten für den Netzbau. Die Höhe der Netznabe liegt üblicherweise zwischen 20 und 70 cm über dem Boden. Die Höhe ist angepasst an den Lebensraum der Beutetiere. Charakteristisch für das Netz der Wespenspinne ist ein häufig sehr kräftiges, zickzackförmiges Gespinstband in vertikaler Ausrichtung ober- und unterhalb der Nabe, das sogenannte Stabiliment. Inzwischen sind weitere Formen von Stabilimenten bekannt. Es gibt zum Beispiel kreisförmige Anordnungen der Zickzacklinien um die Netzmitte herum (besonders bei Jungspinnen), nur ein Gespinstband nach unten weisend oder gar ein fehlendes Stabiliment. Diese abnormalen oder fehlenden Stabilimente deuten darauf hin, dass die ursprünglich zugeschriebene stabilisierende Wirkung für das Netz nicht primär gilt. Auch die Vermutung, dass es sich ausschließlich um eine Art Tarnung des Netzes handelt, gilt als nicht gesichert.
Beobachtungen zeigen, dass der Aufbau des Stabiliments entweder durch chemische Kontaminierung des Lebensraumes beeinflusst wird, oder durch das Alter und Geschlecht der Wespenspinnen. Männliche Spinnen weben überwiegend, bis zum Erreichen ihrer Geschlechtsreife, die häufige senkrechte Zickzacklinie über und unter der Netznabe, aber auch zirkulär verlaufende Gespinstbänder um die Mittelnabe. Ab September, Oktober scheinen die männlichen Wespenspinnen meist nur noch einarmige, nach unten gerichtete Zickzacklinien zu weben. Weibliche Wespenspinnen legen auch überwiegend die bekannte vertikale Zickzacklinie an, aber auch das ganze Jahr über kreisförmige Stabilimente. Sogar Kombinationen aus einem zirkulären Stabiliment und vertikalen zickzackförmigen Gespinstbändern wurden beobachtet. (Wikipedia)

This is another version of a similar picture I uploaded years ago of a special kind of doufu drying in the sun in one narrow lane in my neighbourhood. The house is still standing, but is now empty and will be gone very soon. I passed this spot a few days ago and remembered all the things that used to dry in the sun outside here: fish, meat, sausages and all kinds of vegetables fighting for space with the laundry online. I had to dig up this scene from my archive and let if fly in the wind once more.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland, captured in September 2026.
After Ukraine destroyed a Russian data centre that housed a major 'bot farm' there has been a massive reduction in pro-Trump MAGA and far-right posts on social media across the US and Europe.
The current UK Prime Minister has, finally, shared the fact that Russia interfered with the Brexit referendum here. They also interfered with the Scottish Independence referendum.
There is plenty of evidence out there of Russian interference in Western political discourse.
Some of us have known for years that Russia was playing the long game in online disinformation and interference.
The impact that it has had on our lives cannot be underestimated. Public discourse. Division. Attitudes. Emotion. All manipulated by a relentless bombardment of propaganda designed to undermine Western democracy and destroy social cohesion.
We cannot allow it to continue. Our lives are miserable as a result of disinformation and lies spread on social media. Our lives are affected by political decisions made because of artificially overinflated online opinions.
Too many people lack the critical thinking skills to see beyond the propaganda, sadly.
These bot farms are a national security issue and it is long overdue that they are shut down.
Ps. I am not a bot.
