Leviticus 19:33–34 (NKJV):

33 ‘And if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him.

34 The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

I'm a public safety diver. I have been to several drowning scenes.

The best time to learn when to swim is when you are a child. The second best time is right now.

The Red Cross can help you find places to learn. Local YMCAs are also great.

...it concluded since the landslide was triggered by the melting glacier, and since *that* happened due to rising global temperatures...

This was a signal - and a warning - from our rapidly changing world, heard in every single part of it.

Best we listen up.

I've been off 'X' awhile but heard that Stephen King popped back with a post:
'Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dipshit!
Goes double for Musk!'
so I did same and amplified some others in similar style ...let's all do it!
Freedom of Speech Yes! 🤣
Trump and Musk are basically ignoring the Constitution they--Trump, at least--took an oath to defend.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:

Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

Smart politics by the ALP. They should hammer this isn the election campaign. Women’s health can change votes. Now to tackle the billion-dollar BS supplements industry & their dodgy marketing & labelling, I hope.
This is huge. HUGE. Oral contraceptive pills to be added to PBS for first time in decades. Funding for IUDs, long lasting contraception, and menopause supports. This is one for the history books. Seriously, BIG.

The election pitch also includes new measures for women in menopause, including efforts to lift support and care provided by GPs.

Now you know what the world has been like for most people most of the time…

Think about every baker who got up at 4am to make bread during a civil war. The sanitation guys picking up garbage while car bombs go off. The girl in Ukraine going to work at the mall while rockets fly overhead.
