“The Roma observe a strict separation of vujo and marime,” says Gräf, meaning clean and dirty.
“These are sacred spaces, like a church, so they shouldn’t be contaminated by toilets or dirty water.
We might be used to bathroom plumbing, but for them
it’s weird having [that]
running through your walls.”
"Two girls in matching velour tracksuits and gold jewellery race in circles on their scooters.
Their owners don’t usually live in them and, despite their immense size, they rarely contain kitchens or bathrooms
Welcome to the palaces of the Roma kings: exuberant monuments of wealth, pride and prestige, and defiant expressions of cultural identity in a country that has turned its back on the community for so long. Across Romania, similar outcrops of ostentatious mansions have sprouted in the most unlikely places "

E coli legs
Walking on gold piss like jesus
In fancy poison sweatshop
Running suits,
Crapitalism has jogged its course
Past the marble stairs,
Gilded curtains and big screen fixtures

'The small town of Dimock saw its water become brown, undrinkable, even flammable – and its residents are still feeling the effects"
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/21/fracking-dimock-pennsylvania-trump-kamala-harris
"This bipartisan embrace of fracking has stirred fury among residents of Dimock whose well water is still riddled by toxins
linked to an array of health problems and, most spectacularly, contains so much flammable methane
that people have passed out in the shower,
wells exploded,
and water running from the tap
could be set on fire by match,
according to official reports and accounts from locals."
"Sure as hell, I’m not voting for either of those two assholes,” said Ray Kemble, a bearded military veteran and former trucker,
as he puffed on a cigar in his home. Reams of documents and photos chronicling the long fight against fracking
Lay on the table next to Kemble, along with a bottle of his murky tap water, three Sherlock Holmes-style smoking pipes and a briefcase filled with handguns."
