Just a quick rant here... I'm not sure how much the refugee situation in Europe is a news item elsewhere, but it has displaced almost every other topic in our news. My rant is, that the refugee crisis brings out the worst in some (I hope not too many!) of my German countrymen. The xenophobia and sheer hatred, but also stupidity and violence, of some...

@_rusty_ You make very valid points, and I'm not saying it's an easy situation. My immediate reaction is to say the Western or indeed, the Christian response should be to rather err in letting a few bad apples in. Something awful happens, and people lose all sight of proportion. Last time I checked, more people were killed in the U.S. by cops than by terrorists, but I'm being slightly facetious. The only sensible solution seems to be to screen refugees as carefully as possible. Completely closing the door on them is in my view not an option.
_rusty_:
I agree with you @kaicito completely closing then off isn't the answer. I'm sure they will be screening very closely now. Especially with another hostage incident in Africa now. That goes with any thing as far as people losing sight. Any bad event. Only takes a few people though to f*ck it for the rest. Unfortunately.
Now that @jackye is pink, my crystal ball and I predict that the next Italian instapink SG will be @cecylia as soon her debut set comes out in exactly 2 months. You read it here first!
PS. She's got great taste in tops, too ;-)
cecylia:
Thank you sooo much!
It's a wee bit late (because dark forces conspired to keep me from seeing the original post), but @ness surely deserves the prize for best and most original Halloween makeup (done by herself, too, which seems a very difficult job)
Japanese illustrator extraordinaire Tatsuro Kiuchi has a society6 promo this week, offering free worldwide shipping on all his prints and other items. I love his work and have posted it before. Here's the two prints I ordered today:

That's so nice. The second one is particularly touching.
On a lovely sunshine-y day like today, we just had to take a walk in my favorite nearby park, the Britzer Garten.

Beautiful view
And no, I have no idea why Lily is giving the Nazi salute ;-)
Not surprisingly, but surprisingly fast, @jackye is PINK! Congratulations, babe!
jozsef:
It's a great comfort in these trying times. ;)

Wow, nail on the head with both cards
It doesn't get much more adorable than @psypher in her new set BED PEACE out in MR just now, and shot by @stormyent . And, that adorableness comes with a heapin' helpin' of lovely curvaceousness! Hop on over and give her some love, I already did!
deesilvs:
I love how matter-of-fact she is :3
@pseekaal is giving away her self-designed Halloween-themed desktop wallpaper... very cute! Grab yours at her website (scroll down to where this pic is and click on it)
And no, I'm not getting a commission ;-)
Especially for those of you who kindly offered input on my logo design question a while ago, here are two variations of the final product - again, I'm not totally happy with it, but I guess that's what you get when you're cheap and use fiverr ;-)

Bit late to chime in here, but the symmetry of the second one is more appealing to my taste. I will refrain from commenting on anything "Bonzo" for now.

The prime minister of Canada is the head of the party which wins the most seats and thereby forms a government. This gives him some very real power and authority but he is not actually elected as a member of the government by anyone outside of his own riding. He is not in theory like a president. The outgoing one certainly did behave as though he had been elected king but a real weakness of our system is that politicians are now doing things which were unthinkable a very few decades ago when corruption was actually frowned upon and the merest whiff of conflict of interest was enough to end a career, whereas now that's business as usual. We've seen that acting like a dictator is not explicitly forbidden by most legislation which was written before rot from the top down was an accepted part of the social structure. It seems we Canadians will nowadays re-elect someone who treats his own country like a conqueror. It will be a surprise to me if anything substantive changes after this election, but hope springs eternal. BTW, I loved Pierre because he was an intelligent and witty intellectual and had long hair but he made some dreadful mistakes which haunt us still. :P
