In the center of Solo is an old Dutch fort that dates back to the 18th century named "Benteng Vastenburg". It's a shame that the local government hasn't made this place into a museum. I've already been here three times and each time the inside has been closed off to the public, they only have it open during special events. While walking around the entire structure, it seemed rather abandoned.

Forte playing with his work bestie, a Dutch x ACD mix, Mirri.
It's really cute watching their play evolve. In the beginning they'd only play chase because that's what Faye allows at home. When Mirri would try to engage him in wrestling he'd just stand there. Over multiple play sessions she's finally gotten him to play bitey/wrestling games. She play bites him and he shows her his teeth and puts his chin on her. But he's still not sure he's allowed to put his mouth on her.
Forte is a very polite player who very much errs on the side of caution, lots of loose and bouncy body language. He also handicaps himself in play since the dog he is most familiar with, Faye, is significantly smaller than himself. He tries so hard to take his cues from his playmate and not offend.
Watching their play grow and them get more comfortable and confident with each other is so sweet.
#dogblr#forte#belgian tervuren#dutch shepherd mix#their friendship is so cute#she is actually very dog selective but she adores Forte#them playing is something everyone at work enjoys watching#they don't get to play every day#but when they do everyone comes to watch because the dynamics are really fun#it's also just a really interesting display of body language and personalities at play

Today I, an aromantic, was getting ready to attend a wedding… with Stranger on repeat.
#the mechanisms#stranger#ttbt2#i knew what i was doing when i put it on but also i am working on an addtion to my brian-jonny foils post so i was thinking about brian#its always sad brian hours#i cant really read that song separate from him anymore. honestly not sure i ever could but. its just so unconnected from anything else.-#actaea and lyssa is pretty disconnected. but its still almost certainly on the city. alice is pretty disconnected but its a result of-#king cole’s war. the most disconnected songs are redeath. the ignominious demise of dr pilchard. drop dead. hereward the wake. and stranger-#(and frankenstein but i consider that its own thing). and redeath and drop dead are my least favorite mechs songs.dr pilchard i didnt-#really care for for quite a while. stranger has so few words in it. it’s my favorite song. but the story is minimal fron the song (ie w/o-#knowing the crane wife story) so making a story around it sort of makes sense? im having a hard time with the words here. like we expect a-#story. cause that’s what the mechs do. and stranger has a story. it just doesnt have context and so creatong that context for ourselves is-#understandable. to be expected even. hope that makes sense#side note: i think it would make sense for hereward to have been from the same place (system I guess) as the people that made-#fort galfridian. i mean hereward was more of a real person than arthur (since there was no one person arthur was based on. like thats a-#whole thing) and hereward was anglo-dutch. so it makes sense hed be related to that story somehow#its just a theory. obviously. theres nothing in the songs connecting the too as far as im aware.#OH also achilles pointed out to me the anti-amatonormative/aromantic reading of stranger and i liked that a lot#hereward was anglo-danish. not anglo-dutch. sorry danish and dutch people

Benteng Fort Willem l - I was shocked to know that this Dutch fort was actually still in use as housing for the prison workers (the prison is actually attached to the fort). We stopped here on our way to Desa Prigi, Endang actually ended up liking the place and took lots of photos.

Weights & Measures Day
Learn about the history of weights and measures in the past, as well as how we’ve come to use the various systems of measurement we use today.
When you start thinking about how to weight something, how do you know how to measure it? Do you use the same measurement to measure water? What if you’re measuring flour? Does a pound weigh the same in Germany as it does in Austria?
If you’ve ever wondered about things like this and how it all came to be, you’ll be interested to know about Weights and Measures Day. This holiday celebrates the day that the world agreed on the use of weights and measures using an International Treaty.
History Of Weights And Measures Day
20th May 1875 was one of the most important days in history as relates to international trade and the exchanging of ideas across the globe. On this day the world came together and signed an International Treaty that meant that all the 59 states that signed agreed to use a standard system of weights and measures.
In the same moment, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures was established to help organize future standardizations of the measurements that the world would use.
This was necessary since throughout human history different areas used an extensive variety of measuring systems and standards. This made trade and communication on subjects of trade difficult, and there had to be methods put in place to translate between these different systems.
As industrialization was taking place, especially with the introduction of replaceable parts, standards of measurement were necessary to bring the world together.
Some examples of old measurements involved the original foot, which was said to equal the length of a King’s foot. There were also acres, which was the amount of land a peasant could plow in a day.
Chains were used to measure distance as well; with a chain being both an actual chain, and a length of measure. With all these confusing measurements something had to be done. Weights and Measures Day celebrates the day that something finally was.
How To Celebrate Weights and Measures Day
The best way to celebrate Weights and Measures Day is to take some time to research the history of how we measure things. Through your research, you’ll learn just how confusing things were before everything got standardized.
This will help you appreciate the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and what they’ve done for society. You could also learn how measurements break down throughout the world in both the Imperial and Metric systems.

Short clip of my coworker's girl, a dutch x acd, and Forte playing. He lets her set the pace of and isn't offended or put off that she's a vocal player. I often refer to their play as bumper Belgians.
It's super cute to watch them play because Forte frequently slows himself down to match her speed and waits for her to rejoin the game when she stops to hunt for stray kibble. She in turn is very tolerant of him being a gross/super sniffy boy.
#dogblr#forte#belgian tervuren#Dutch x ACD mix#work besties#she can be dog reactive/not a fan of most dogs#but she's decided Forte gets a free pass#when he plays with Faye she likes for him to chase her#when he plays with his work bestie he is the one being chased#he's a very considerate player and modifies his speed to let the other dog have their preferred role despite being faster#also in case anyone was worried#she's spayed so there's no chance of her being in heat or unwanted pregnancy
