Jun. 4th, 2012 04:09 am* There's been a particularly bad plane crash in a residential neighborhood in Nigeria. It was a full sized plane and they are still hunting for bodies. There turns out to have been not much in the way of proper emergency services and the neighbors had to carry water from their houses to fight the resulting fire.

* Chris Hayes did most of two hours on voter suppression: http://upwithchrishayes.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/03/12037609-sundays-full-show-june-3?lite
* In another example of self defense only being allowed as a defense for straight white cis men, they are sentencing an African American trans woman for defending herself and her friends from attack by white supremacists: http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2012/06/cece-being-sentenced-today.html
* On the damage excluding trans women does to all women and the 2008 London Pride Travesty: http://simplyalexandermason.tumblr.com/post/24268631326/trigger-warning-cissexism-transmisogyny-sexual
* I went to roast some vegetables and discovered I was out of foil, cue me going to buy some, spending an hour on food prep, at which point I used up all the orange rind, a problem I could have solved when I went to buy a fol. Sigh. At least I ate well. Hector is still escalating, slowly, luckily, it took me more than six hours to get him to eat and take a nap. I only succeeded because I set up a special table with a washcloth on it for him to sleep on. LM's finally starting to integrate territory wise after the move. She actually came to a treat time in my room with the others and has gone back to sleeping on my bed with the Butt in the evenings like she used to in the old house. Progress.

* In case people were unclear, I do not think a zombie Apocalypse is going on in real life. (Hint: zombie stuff was at the bottom of a posting where I put fluffy stuff. If a real Zombie Apocalypse were occurring, you can bet it would either be the top news item or in a post of it's own.) I posted the zombie stuff because it struck me as funny.
