The #US is #stalling a #EU-led plan for G7 to expand the use of #frozen #russian #assets to support #Ukraine.

#European officials voiced frustration at the US backing away from the plan at a point where they are already moving ahead.

Bars riep het gele hesje: “HALT!”
“Ja maar, ‘k heb hier m’n fiets gestald.”
“Die ben je kwijt, vergeet hem maar,
al is er geen acuut gevaar
dat ’t dak echt naar beneden valt.”

Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

27 June 2024

We're taking a short trip today. I'd rather stay at home, so I'm already dragging my feet and nobody else has even gotten out of bed this morning. Do you ever do that when you don't want to do something that you know that you are going to have to do? Another way to describe it is slowing around, like if you procrastinate long enough the thing will go away. It won't work though; I know I must go to keep peace in the family. Hmmm ... did I just rhyme? My best delaying tactic is just not to do anything yet, be quiet as a mouse and let everyone else sleep through the morning.

As expected, I got a birthday message from the Information Access Office of BC today. (the deadline for them to respond was today) Due to having to consult a third party (I assume the Island Corridor Foundation and perhaps others) my FOI request has now been delayed to the maximum. Another 60 days. So I should expect a respond as late as February 9th.
I filed the request on June 28, 2023. Ridiculous.

I have a vague idea for a grimdark / low fantasy story that would also be (what I think of as) an incredibly transparent allegory for my life, particularly in regards to being trans and going so long before figuring it out.
