'Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.'

Cur-lew! cur-lew! cur-lew!
Till all the Bush, with nameless dread
Is pulsing through and through.’ ~ Mary Gilmore

William H Hartley’s story inspired the Titanic’s band’s legend. One survivor reported seeing him standing heroically with his fellow musicians, clinging to the rails of the Grand Staircase and exclaiming, “Gentlemen I bid you farewell.”

The deadly floods in Central Texas were caused by extremely heavy rain. Climate change is causing even more rain to fall during the heaviest storms.

Senate Democrats are introducing legislation today that would require immigration officers nationwide to wear clear ID when making public arrests.

It would also prohibit them from wearing non-medical masks or balaclavas that hide their faces.
Senators introduce a bill requiring immigration agents to show their faces
Democratic sponsors call masking tactics a "clear attempt" to compound "fear and chaos—and to avoid accountability."

In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day…
