[NEWS] Five assorted links: turkey, Mojave phone booth, LGBT apology, Anne Murray, Morrissey

[rfmcdonald]

• National Geographic takes a look at the natural history of the surprisingly stunning turkey, dispersed across North America and with an underrated beauty.


• Urban Ghosts Media tells the strange story of a working phone booth stranded in the Mojave Desert, and the tissue of myths and culture that grew up around it.


• CBC notes that Justin Trudeau is set to issue an official apology to the LGBTQ people purged from government service by past generations' homophobia.


• Anne Murray just made a massive donation of archival material from her long life and career to the University of Toronto's library system. Respect.


• Morrissey's statements for sexual abusers and against multiculturalism and ethnic minorities are almost more upsetting for the fact that they were so freely offered. However good the man's music is, should we music fans still support it, and him?

3. Awaiting developments with interest.

4. Good news, that.

5. I don't believe I ever developed an interest in that one's music. Might be a good thing.
