$10,000 fine for killing over 700 native and endangered protected animals.. $14.28 each.. Other life is 'cheap' when you're a Human.. "The white-walled room packed with magpies, galahs and sulphur-crested cockatoos, foxes and possums is eerily quiet. As a video pans across shelves filled with these and many other species, there is no flapping or squawking or hissing; the animals are frozen and silent. They are among the more than 700 native animals that were found illegally taxidermied and frozen that were seized from the property of a Victorian antiques store owner last year. On Tuesday, 74-year-old Glenn Richard Rollo was fined $10,000 by a court after he pleaded guilty to 13 charges, including selling and possessing protected and threatened wildlife and failing to provide treatment to a sick animal." https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/oct/22/man-fined-after-700-frozen-and-taxidermied-animals-found-on-victorian-property-ntwnfb #AnimalCruelty #Victoria #Australia #News #AnimalRights #EndangeredSpecies #Law

#Victoria #Australia A landmark study of more than six million hospital admissions and nearly four million emergency department visits across the Australian state of Victoria has quantified, community by community, the toll that rising temperatures take on public health—and the finding that anthropogenic warming has amplified that toll by up to 27 percent is sending ripples through the public health and climate science communities https://bioengineer.org/human-caused-climate-change-drives-heat-illness-across-460-victorian-communities/ #ClimateChange #pollution #climate

Just finished my last few work tasks, and now I am officially off until Thursday. Good bye work emails ✨️ I'll be in #victoria , enjoying my time off. Excited to go whale watching again, be on the ferry, and maybe check out a strongman gym 👀 Also, there will be a big announcement when I'm back in the office. This one has been cooking for a bit ✒️🫖🔥

Spending some time with our performance of Stuart Beatch's Chosen Family at Choral Canada's Podium in Victoria this past May... I could sing the first 60 bars of this movement over and over and never get tired of it. I've never performed something that simulates floatedness and contentedness like this. It takes me right to Thousand Palms outside of Palm Springs. That oversold audience in what has to be one of the most rewarding spaces I've ever performed in - St. Andrew's Cathedral was nothing like I've ever performed for before. You could hear a pin drop between movements. That space gave back so much more than we gave. For context, I've sung at Carnegie and St. Andrew's has it beat. The Winspear Centre also has Carnegie beat. I'm forever thankful and forever grateful we could bring John Barton's text to music, and having him in the audience just meant the world. I'm really pining to start our @chronosvocalensemble@mstdn.ca 2027 season. #choir #choral #music #yegarts #victoria

"Everyone deserves to see the sky and breathe fresh air. But the Allan Government’s No Air in Prison Bill seeks to stop people behind bars from having at least one hour of fresh air each day in prison. This is a cruel attack on basic human dignity that will disproportionately harm incarcerated First Nations people and other people stuck in solitary confinement. The Allan Government must stop shrugging off human rights responsibilities that are meant to protect us all and should abandon this Bill."

The Original Narco Hoy escuché a un par de académicos hablar de la relación entre el crimen organizado, el narcotráfico, la trata de personas y el capitalismo. Hablaban como si se tratara de un fenómeno nuevo, incluso acuñando el neologismo «capitalismo criminal». Parecía que estas personas ignoraban la historia de la reina Victoria, que empujó el opio a China, India, Afganistán, Persia, para doblegar y dominar a estas naciones. Si bien nadie puede negar que el capitalismo muta y evoluciona constantemente (después de todo la innovación tecnológica es una de sus características centrales, Marx dixit), todos los fenómenos de los que hablaban sucedían desde hace siglos. En el siglo XIX la Pérfida Alvión también secuestraba a personas para usarlas como esclavos (los coolies, además del tráfico de esclavos trasatlántico), como sicarios (los cipayos), y empujaba deliberadamente drogas para destruir el tejido social y condenar a generaciones enteras a la adicción y la miseria. Si hay una diferencia notable, además de los avances tecnológicos tanto en armas como en drogas sintéticas, es que en el siglo XIX esto era mucho más abierto y público que ahora, que la CIA y la DEA controlan el tráfico internacional de drogas de forma más subrepticia. Realicé este cartel con GIMP, usando filtros de G’MIC y operaciones GELG, además de brocas para los brillitos (no usaba efectos de brochas en GIMP desde hace añales).

Doris Gravlin is the most famous ghost in British Columbia. Her misty form haunts the Victoria Golf Course, where her husband murdered her in 1936. Gravlin's presence causes rising winds and clammy coldness. It is said that any young couples she floats towards are fated to never marry. #PhantomsFriday #Mythology #Folklore #UrbanLegend #GhostStory #Ghost #Occult #Canada #BritishColumbia #BC #Victoria
