“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Your #sundaybake is this fabulous Bread Soufflé. While it's baking, read a little interesting #foodhistory and just how essential bread is to life—or at the very least, to life in France.

Almost without exception, such 'patriots' loathe everything that actually makes Britain a great country and long for a smaller country, with narrower horizons, and a meaner future, based on a version of the past that never existed.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

Dragged myself out on a grey and murky morning to go to the market. The cheese stall always makes it worth it though, and the sun had come out by the time I was on my way home.

The philosopher invited me
to attend her lecture
on applied ethics
and as I sat in the audience
waiting for it to begin
a man sat down nearby
and asked me why
I was wearing a mask,
and before I could stop myself
I told him:
“I’m applying ethics.”

The bloke down the road finally came and he has taken our pretty little hen visitor away. I'm going to rather miss her, but at least she's safe from foxes now.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

People talk often about how all of our institutions are crumbling, but I gotta say, the institution protecting powerful people from ever facing consequences for sex crimes, a load-bearing institution if there ever was one, seems to be holding up quite well.

This week, it seems we've acquired a chicken. She's been wandering around in our garden and the neighbour's since Monday (I'm amazed a fox hasn't had her). Managed to get hold of possible owner yesterday - he didn't think he was missing one, but is coming to see later.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
