Ménilmontant de Thomas Boivin est bien plus qu’un livre de photographie, c’est une immersion dans Paris, une balade sensible Š travers ses rues et ses visages...

There is a long and storied history of whistles for protection. Ancient Egyptian guards used to place a blade of grass between the thumbs to alert other guards of issues that were transpiring. Later, shells were used to the same end. In China, acorns with holes drilled in them were used similarly.
As a dedicated instrument, whistles have been made of wood, bone, metal, and later, plastics. British bobbies have used whistles to communicate over distances since the 1880s. They are a commonly used tool for boatswains, crossing guards, and referees.
I wish I knew more about rape whistles, but they seem similar in functionality to hikers taking whistles with them in case of injury, as the sound carries much further than yelling, and is much less tiring.
As someone regularly stalked by a large creepy harasser, I am grateful for the whistle I was given for self-protection, even if the creeps who it was given to defend against resent the fuck out of it.
Fin.

Looks like the USPS shut down the covidtests.gov at 8:00 PM EDT on 3/9/2025, per text on the website.
I'm feeling somewhat fortunate in that I got my order placed and received in the last couple weeks.
If they had too many tests stockpiled, better management and allowing people to order additional test kits seems like a better choice than destroying good tests.

Je n’ai jamais vraiment aimé le tennis. Voir deux ou quatre personnes taper sur une balle m’a toujours semblé ennuyeux et lassant. Quand j’ai vu le titre Les Derniers Jours de Roger Federer, je n’ai pas immédiatement sauté sur ce livre...

"It is fair to say that Microsoft spent at least the first five years of its history in relative obscurity. The first appearance of the name “Microsoft” on the pages of Byte was a short mention of their BASIC interpreter in an advertising on page 47 of the May 1977 issue. In contrast, page 34 of the same issue included an article about the Apple II by Steve Wozniak. The Woz and Gary Kildall were the biggest stars of the microcomputer industry at the end of the 1970s."

Après maintes hésitations, j’ai tâtonné pour trouver une police de caractère pour Le Sillon. Au départ, le modernisme m’a fait douter de l’usage d’une police Š empattement pour le site du club Sillonesque...
