If you ever wondered about people suing God and people suing “Satan and his Staff” — he has a staff? — then these are the links for you. (Or this, if you want the wikipedia counterpoint to the ‘Lawsuits against God’ article.)

roseamer:

I need your help, to remember a word.

It is a word used to describe this feeling, like an epiphany, that all the people around you in the street, the tube, the train, are going somewhere, and have this net of relationships and hope and sorrows that leads them from one place to the other and you realise that you will never be able to know the secrets that move them.

What is this word ?

I’m sure it exists.

I almost want to say ‘panempathy,’ but I don’t know …

So my Uni has flooded and lectures and tutes have been cancelled.  
But apparently there’s a cyclone heading our way .. so .. 

It’s flooding in Queensland. Keep your eyes on this hashtag for more. ABC’s running a good live blog here.

In terms of interior discussions going on in Brazil after the incident at Santa Maria, Renata D’Elia makes an important point, and I’m going to post her comment below —

Vejo muita gente dizendo que interior, cidades pequenas e periferias são terras sem lei. Mas não é só Santa Maria, dear darlings: não vamos esquecer das trocentas baladas com alvará vencido ou funcionando com fiscal comprado e na base da carteirada nas áreas nobres das nossas “super” metrópoles brasileiras. Na mais leve das hipóteses, estamos bebendo bebida batizada em lugares aparentemente mais seguros que os da tragédia do sul. Não checamos se os extintores da casa funcionam. Se tem equipe de primeiros socorros ou áreas de escape, saídas de emergência. Quantas vezes não fomos a baladas lotadas demais, sem espaço pra se mexer e sem ar pra respirar? Já tive celular e carteira roubados dentro de baladinhas modernosas paulistanas e só faltou me culparem por portar um celular e uma carteira! Tudo bem que fogos de artifício em palco de balada é o absurdo dos absurdos, mas tá cheio de ilegalidade “comum” e pelas quais nós estamos pagando e achando lindo. Não dá pra generalizar, mas contanto que sejamos amigos VIPs da hostess ou do sócio da casa, tá tudo bem, né? As enormes proporções desse caso são lamentáveis e muito tristes, precisamos ficar permanentemente atentos para que não isso não se repita.
