Three Greek government ministers have resigned amid a widening European Union investigation into alleged farm subsidy fraud.

my neighbor's dog jude. she's an old girl, so it was nice to see her moving around with so much energy here. if you look close she's actually staring down a mosquito.

no ai here, i just happen to be a real photographer. i did ,however, edit out a little stream of snot that was flying out of her nose. for her dignity...

for those interested:

camera: sony a7siii

lens: tamron 70-180 f:2.8 g1 - that's the first gen of that model. just as good as any first party 70-200 for 90% of use cases, but a quarter the price. I also love the flair characteristics of this lens, which are on full display here.

1/1250, f/2.8, iso 160, 126mm

-I wanted that big dreamy bokeh on this so i needed the 2.8 aperture, the rest is just to make it dark enough. I technically should have lowered my iso further, but at this range on this camera it hardly matters.

A second United States Air Force combat aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf region on Friday as rescue teams continued searching for a missing crew member from a downed F-15E Strike Eagle, according to two U.S. officials cited by The New York Times.

The second aircraft, an A-10 Thunderbolt II, went down near the Strait of Hormuz, and its pilot was safely rescued, the officials said.

The crash occurred around the same time that an F-15E was shot down over Iran, where one crew member has already been recovered and search teams continue looking for the second.

Hey comrades:)<3 !!!…

I just wanted to come back with a small update and honestly say thank you again for all the love and kind words on the last post. Seeing people happy for my sisters really meant a lot to us and made this whole moment feel less heavy

Today we were all sitting together talking about what they might need most for the journey and how to make sure their bags don’t give them trouble at the airport. They were told each person can only carry 23kg, so we agreed to keep things really simple.

At one point Charity just quietly said, “all I really want is a warm winter jacket.” That honestly hit me in the heart a little because it made everything feel so real. After all these years of camp life and not knowing what tomorrow would look like, they’re now actually talking about what to pack for Canada.

It still feels a bit unreal even writing this.

Because of the kindness and solidarity people have already shown, the amount has started moving and we now have $614 remaining for the medical vaccinations and the last travel preparations.

If anyone is still able to help, even a small amount, or just a share / boost, it really helps bring them closer to this new beginning.

Thank you for continuing to hold us in your thoughts Support link is in my profile.
