⚠️Trigger warning⚠️ Graphic image.

His foot is barely hanging on. This child has been bombed by Israel. This boy is one of the 15,000 CHILDREN who have been injured by Israel and the United States. The number of life changing injuries we've seen on literal children is unfathomable. I don't share them here because of how graphic they are, which is why I ask you to follow journalists of gaza on Instagram, they share everything as they witness it. Follow shaun King too as he has given up his account for Palestinian journalists even if you don't think he's a great person. Our kids need you, never stop talking about Palestine.

Share our stories and our names, we aren't numbers. This has to stop!

Musste grade seit langem mal wieder meinen Ausweis an der Kasse vorzeigen. Für eine Flasche Bier. "Passiert Ihnen bestimmt häufiger, oder?" Nein, gute Frau, meistens werde ich nicht für jünger als sechzehn gehalten. Eigentlich sieht man mir an, dass das mehr als zehn Jahre her ist.

Love how one of the Thirteen Treasures of Britain is a wish-granting sword, but nobody wants to use it for some undisclosed reason.

Feel like that'd solve a lot of problems in the Romances.

Fruit, glorious fruit!

Little did I know until yesterday, the vineyards and orchards near Oberkirch, on the edge of the Black Forest, are magnificent at this time of year! Now I think of it, I didn't see any cherries, and apparently they are in season... maybe I just missed them. As for what they make with all this fruit in Germany, well...

That'll be schnaps.

Available in all good drink huts along the hiking trail! A friend and I saw a self-service drinks cabinet on another hike to the North of Oberkirch, but this circuit was on another level. I must have seen at least four drinks stops, ranging from a cabinet with a cash box to a full-fledged hut with shade and benches. It appears to be a local speciality, and I'd say this sells it quite well!

It's quite the feeling to enjoy a cold schorle (fizzy water with a dash of juice, I passed on the schnaps because I don't go for alcohol) with an incredible view on the way back down a hill on a hot day!

Shrove Monday/Güdismontag

This year, Shrove Monday will be observed on February 20. The day, also known as “Collop Monday”, “Rose Monday”, “Merry Monday”, or “Hall Monday,” is an annual Christian holiday that is observed on the Monday before Ash Wednesday. The day is celebrated with carnival parades and floats that often satirize a culture’s habits or people, national and international public figures, recent events, and taboo subjects. Marching bands and local associations are also a part of these parades. The parades are visited by spectators and some may even receive media coverage. Spectators at the parade also dress as mythical or political figures, thus adding to the merriment of the day.

History of Shrove Monday

The origins of Shrove Monday are not entirely clear. However, the traditions around the carnival and parades may have begun over two thousand years ago by the Romans. In these carnivals, it wasn’t uncommon to see the servants and slaves playing the role of masters and dressing up like them. Fast forward to today, the tradition continues with people dressing up as local and international public figures while satirizing them.

Shrove Monday also signals the end of the period before ‘Lent’ for many Christians. Until Easter, Christians observe a period called Lent. Some might even choose to fast or spend more time praying during the Shrovetide week. Several Christians give up meat, sugar, eggs, and alcohol during this period. The fast or abstinence is broken by consuming these food products during the carnivals.

The day is sometimes called “Collopy Monday” in the U.K. owing to a traditional meal eaten for breakfast on the day — collops of bacon eaten with an egg. Whereas in east Cornwall, Shrove Monday is known as “Paisen Monday” or “Peasen Monday”, in honor of the pea soup that is eaten on this day. Shrove Monday is a popular holiday in numerous countries. It is part of the Carnival calendar in Greece, and in many Caribbean countries, it is known as “Carnival Monday” — thus starting the Carnival season. In the Americas, Shrove Monday is more popular as “Luni Gras” or “Fat Monday”. In Lucerne it's called "Güdismontag". Güdis is an old word for stomach and Montag is Monday. It's the last Monday to fill your stomach with all the good eats before the Lent starts on Wednesday.

It appears that almost every culture has its version of Shrove Monday!
