Travelodge turned away vulnerable women late at night They were far from home but it refused to let them stay without specific ID to prove they were over 18

Thankfully there are alternatives to using Travelodge so we don’t need to inconvenience them with our custom.

HAPPINESS

Happiness is a few pounds heavier.

It's accepting being tired.

Being older. Being softer.

Being more reaching oak and less wildflower.

Happiness is taking days to bask in silence.

Not doing. Just being.

Happiness is no longer shrinking.

It's releasing.

Guilt. Regret.

The weight of the past, and the fear of the future.

It's discovering the joy in simplicity.

The beauty in the little things.

The power in the everyday.

L.E. Bowman

Everyone, everywhere is taking note of the oil futures' prices.

If only people gave such attention to the most deadly futures indicators: the parts per million atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and CO2 equivalents.

Then we might save ourselves.

Splitscreen of Nell McCafferty and Lydia Foy. It has a blue and purple gradient with the GCN logo and the article's title that reads: "23 trailblazing queer women who helped shape Irish history". At the bottom of the image, a message says: "Read more on www.gcn.ie at the link in bio".

CNN's Fred Pleitgen and photojournalist Claudio Otto are at a gas station in Tehran after fuel supplies in the capital were disrupted overnight following a fresh wave of Israeli attacks targeting energy resources. CNN operates in Iran only with government permission.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

An aerial view of a hundred freshly dug graves for the school girls while families gather around

Six days on, a New York Times investigation concludes that the US bombed the school.

175 are dead, 150+ of whom are schoolgirls aged 7-12.

The My Lai massacre for our generation.

The Hague - and Hell - awaits.
