On this day 12 and a half years ago I saw the coolest ever iceberg. Never seen one like it since. Fellsfjara, Jökulsárlón, #Iceland
A six-foot (ish) high turquoise iceberg with a small friend on a black sand beach. Grey rainy day with some of the turquoise reflected in the blank sand, and long exposure smooth waves breaking.

In the aftermath of the shooting two nights ago in Ontario at a synagogue, the local Pride org wrote this, and it's how you do allyship folks: not contingent upon passing a purity test over people's philosophies, just that "gun violence is bad, let minorities live in peace, ok?"
Bay of Quinte Pride stands with the Jewish community in Belleville and across the Bay of Quinte following the violence outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue on Sunday evening, as community members gathered to observe Yom Kippur.
Our hearts are with the congregation, their families, and everyone whose sense of safety has been shaken. We are also thinking of the injured police officer, their loved ones, and those who witnessed what happened.
Jewish people deserve to gather, worship, and live safely in our community. A place of worship should always be a place of peace, a place of connection, and a  place of belonging, but never a place of fear..
While the circumstances surrounding Sunday’s violence remain under investigation, our solidarity does not depend on the outcome of that investigation. Gun violence has no place in our community for any reason.
As a Pride organization, we believe belonging means being able to live safely and openly in every part of who you are. That includes Jewish members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, whose Jewish and 2SLGBTQIA+ identities do not exist separately from one another.
We stand with our Jewish neighbours, and we will continue to challenge antisemitism when it appears, within our own spaces and beyond them.
In the days ahead, we encourage our community to lead with care. Respect the privacy of those affected. Listen to Jewish community members about what meaningful support looks like. Speak up when you encounter antisemitism. And continue showing up for one another.
To our Jewish neighbours: you are valued, you belong here, and you do not stand alone.
