Los Angeles — the final chapter

I will fit in here every­thing else I couldnt put in its own cat­e­gory.
(Мr.Blab said it was not very inspired work „just mailed it in”, he said)

Тhis is the out­door mall in Glendale — the „Americana at Brand”

Looked brand spank­ing new and grand.

The shops were all around the park in the mid­dle and there were lit­tle cafes […]

International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women

25th of November
I cant start this post with Happy International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women! It is a sad enough fact that this day needs to exist as a tes­ta­ment to the suf­fer­ing of mil­lions of women around the world. Its even more chill­ing to know that nowhere, nowhere in the world have […]

Or like the scene in Finding Nemo where the deep water […]

Los Angeles — the other world part I

More than a year later, its time to come back and try and fin­ish up the last few posts from my trip.

9 November — Home Birth Protest

The girls had their first expe­ri­ence with a polit­i­cal protest today. Caramel Popcorn is a sea­soned fighter for women’s rights, so he didnt bat an eye­lash, just slept on my back in the heat of the day.
The issue is becom­ing ridicu­lous. We have made our voices well heard through let­ters and record sub­mis­sions to the Senate […]
