The end of May - May 02021
May. 30th, 2021 11:40 pmLet's begin with a walrus very far south of where it should be, causing all sorts of disruptions by being a walrus that far south. Last spotted in Cornwall, still with the hope that the walrus will move back north when things warm up. Also, there is video and audio of the attempt to move the walrus with an air horn, which goes about as well as you would think with a puny human and an annoying sound go up against a walrus that really doesn't want to move.
After having proven that the world can basically do most of its work with the accommodations needed to get disabled people to participate more fully in everything, disabled people are already bracing for the time where abled people decide those accommodations are no longer necessary, because abled people don't need them anymore.
After having received a taste of what life is constantly like for non-white people, there is the very real danger that whiteness will turn away from what they have experienced and go back to pretending the problem doesn't exist, or their choices don't make the problem worse, or that things that have already been decisively proven to be harmful and dangerous are beneficial and good for order and society. And if they do, then whiteness will stop suffering and everyone else will suffer more.

Last for tonight, the previous Administrator potentially has a second criminal complaint lodged against his organization based on evidence examined during the civil case filed against him by the State of New York. Should there be enough for a prosecution, or should people at the Federal Bureau of Investigation find courage and properly investigate the results of the Special Counsel's report, following through with prosecution, even if it doesn't result in conviction, will be very good toward reasserting the primacy of the rule of law and showing that the executive is not an unchecked despot who can crime with impunity.
And something lighter: different ways that neurodivergent people express friendship and affection for others, some of which might not be recognized as gestures of friendship and affection at first.
