Happy Friday everyone! 🎉

Looking back at this week we can’t ignore the groundbreaking decision of the city of Fribourg, in western Switzerland.

So, Fribourg has become the first municipality in Switzerland to introduce menstrual leave for its employees. This decision is unprecedented in the country, where the concept of menstrual leave was relatively off the radar until recently.

The left-leaning politicians behind the Fribourg proposal say they wanted to shed light on the impact that dysmenorrhea, or menstrual cramps, can have on sufferers’ work lives.

But not everyone is cheering. Some believe this measure could add a further burden to women's experiences in the workplace.

»Im Grunde setzen der Song und das brillante Video auf die hirnfickende Tatsache, dass viele Kriege in Namen des Friedens geführt werden. Dass sich Kinder schon früh mit Plastikmaschinengewehren und anderen Waffen durch den Sandkasten kämpfen. Dass von der US-Army unterstützte Hollywood-Blockbuster das Bild des toughen, guten Soldaten zeigen (der natürlich nur die Bösen abknallt) während dabei die tollsten neuen Drohnen- und Kampfjet-Modelle pornös im Sonnenuntergang inszeniert werden.« quelle: https://diffusmag.de/p/k-i-z-singen-fuer-den-frieden/

Good Idea: ban single use plastic

Lagos State, which includes Nigeria’s most populous city of 15.4 million, has announced a ban on single-use plastics and styrofoam in order to reduce the plastic pollution that chokes the region.

The ban would be immediate, according to a statement from the state government, but enforcement and implementation would not be so straightforward, environmental experts said, as AFP reported.

TIL Type O Negative's noscript song "Bloody Kisses", about a woman who committed suicide, it’s a veiled tribute to Peter Steele's 17-year-old cat Venus: "No one wants to hear about a guy who's 6' 8" with long black hair and fangs crying about his f**kin' cat, so I had to make it extremely metaphoric."
