If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Something lovely for the weekend!

Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age 💙

Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago.

The image shows fourty-four annular (ring-shaped) translucent turquoise blue glass beads strung on a modern circular thread and displayed against a black background. The glass beads were found in 1885 when a farmer ploughed up a cremation urn at Kongehøj in Denmark. The urn broke and was found to contain burnt bones, the 44 blue glass beads and two gold spiral rings. Recent analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), indicating far-reaching trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago.

I’ve been trying to recover from a nasty virus for a while but today I remembered to listen to Cherry Coloured Funk by the #CocteauTwins (from Heaven Las Vegas) and it completely lifted my mood.
Elizabeth Fraser is a beautiful magician with words.

On the subject of #hares - I’m currently reading this beautiful memoir by Chloe Dalton.
It’s as good as everyone says, magical, moving and uplifting but also describes the many dangers they face, including from shooting and farm machinery, as well as their natural predators.

Progress.
Shooting hares in England will be banned for most of the year.
Hares are shot for meat, for fun, and because some landowners in the countryside believe it’s overpopulated with them.
#Hares in England & Wales have declined by 80% over the past century.
