Just in case anyone didn’t know June is National Indigenous History Month!
(Not to be confused with Native American History Month which is in November)
The month of June is National Indigenous History Month. It was officially declared in 2009 with a unanimous motion that passed in the House of Commons.
On June 21st it is National Indigenous Peoples Day! On June 21st, we celebrate the strong heritage, beautiful diverse cultures, and many outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Métis People!
On this day, 6 June 1966, a team of 21 US military scientists released around 87 trillion bacteria spores into the New York City subway, to simulate a biological weapon attack. They broke lightbulbs on gratings on the seventh and eighth avenue lines in the first in a series of tests on unsuspecting members of the public. By June 10, a million New Yorkers had been exposed. It was just one of scores of biological and chemical warfare experiments carried out on US civilians during the Cold War.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
