Roseline Mgbodichinma is mourning her aunt. In her beautiful essay for thexylom@journa.host, she writes about grief, the need for witnesses in death, and a Nigerian vegetable soup called egburegbu, the translation of which is “cut” or “kill.”

“[My aunt] loved egburegbu and on the days we cooked it, she would sit cross-legged in the kitchen, patiently waiting for a serving of her favourite soup. This is how I choose to remember her, as someone who loved without caring about the origins of the life around her, or how it will all end.”

"I gave them names, which real farmers never do. The red (RIP) was Hen-rietta. The two Easter Eggers I called Roger Featherer and Lilly Pullet-zer. A mottled Araucana with a puff of gray feathers beneath her chin was Janice, the Bearded Lady. And the pair of identical Buff Orpingtons I called Muffy and Buffy." —Christopher Solomon for Orion Magazine

The health department is closely monitoring the situation and will keep you updated if this becomes a public health issue. If you have questions about your healthcare, please talk with your primary medical team.

#Putin, his army of 1 million russians and the 4 million russians working in their defence industry are mass murderers of the worst kind we have known in #history.

The #RussianFederation is the most disgusting group of #terrorists of the 21st century. They are an aberration in the human species today. A "society" of orcs bred to kill, lie, rape, torture and steal.

#russians are the biggest exporters of #death through their wars, terror attacks, and #FossilFuels criminal #mafia.
