The EU court has ruled that Poland must recognise the marriage of a Polish same-sex couple who married in Germany, even though Polish law does not allow such marriages.
The ruling requires Poland to change its system for recognising such marriages so as not to discriminate against same-sex couples.

Israel, which has obliterated most of Palestine’s archeological and heritage sites, including ancient churches, mosques, and temples, has suddenly discovered an urge to protect one from Palestinian ‘neglect’. It just so happens to be in the West Bank.

Israel begins seizing 1,800 dunams of West Bank land to develop archaeological site
Civil Administration says development legal, taking place amid 'neglect' of site by Palestinians; Peace Now: 'Government's lust for dispossession and annexation is insatiable'

It is not that I disagree with the general message, but I find the posts on here preaching about e.g. how good and important vaccines are a little self aggregrandizing sometimes. Not if there is more substance to the post, but if that is it? We all agree already on here, preaching to the choir

Have a #painting. "Irish Street IV" came out of my obsession with squares and rectangles that I can indulge by standing on streets and staring. While I gave this painting a generic title it actually came out of a happy time standing and staring in County Kerry. #art #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear

the more you read about this stuff, the more that Foucault's point about the exaggeration of Victorian repression rings true. We want to imagine the past as being more prudish than it really is because it makes us feel more free than we really are
