Manca poco ma quel poco sembra non arrivare mai. La distanza che ci separa dall'obiettivo può essere colmata con qualche firma ancora contro una pratica (per carità, non chiamiamolo sport!) barbara e anacronistica. Per noi stessi, per gli animali, per l'ecosistema o per quel che volete ma firmate, firmate firmate! Anche online, bastano pochi minuti e serve un ultimo sforzo per difendere la vita, non soltanto degli animali ma anche degli umani, visto il numero degli incidenti mortali che si verifica ogni anno. Forza, dunque, armiamoci di buona volontà e facciamo un altro piccolo sforzo
NOT AT HOME is an installation by Grace Dyas in Temple Bar. Today I walked passed hundreds of messages from Irish women and their supporters - a deafening cacophony of voices urging to finally Repeal the 8th. Ireland, please listen today and vote with compassion.
This is a text in defense of EU migration to the UK I wrote when I still had hope, on the last day before the referendum day: I think there are some misconceptions around EU migration to the UK that I feel I should counter.

A Syriza rally in Rethymno, Crete (1/7/15) encouraging Greeks to vote NO (ΟΧΙ) to the bailout conditions proposed by the Troika (EU/ECB/IMF). Alex Tsipras’ decision on Saturday 27th June to call a referendum on the (now expired) bailout offered by Greece’s creditors threw the country into turmoil.

The referendum will take place on Sunday 5th June, with some analysts predicting a ‘No’ vote (as encouraged by the Syriza government) would see Greece exiting the Euro and thus the EU and Eurozone. The Greek government deny this, with Prime Minister Tsipras asserting that he remains committed to keeping Greece in the European Union.
Here is the second picture for #inktober. The word of the day is #divided. I pictured two dogs being divided during a walk - a #pug and… does anyone know the left one’s #breed? Something small and barky? Meanwhile Andy decided to raise more serious political and moral questions on the subject of police beating up unarmed Catalans on the day of their #independence #referendum. А вот inktober за второй день. Слово дня - divided: Я нарисовала разлучаемых на прогулке собак - мопсика и… кто подскажет мне породу первой собаки? Что-то маленькое и громкое. А Анди решил поднять острые политические и нравственные вопросы, и посвятил свой рисунок теме избиения мирных протестующих каталонцев полицией на референдуме по независимости.
