Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

This is so appalling. Possibly the most shameful thing the country has done since the slave trade prior to the civil war.
This is real. This is happening.
BREAKING NEWS: America Is Back in the Slave Trade
A Trump administration filing in federal court in Maryland may be the most shocking confession any presidential administration has made in generations—as it signals a reinstitution of the slave trade.

A gay man with no known criminal record sought asylum in the U.S. He's since become one of 238 Venezuelan migrants deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

We need to make Andry Romero a household name. There should be pressure to bring him and others back every single day.
But we need to focus the public’s attention on a single victim - a story that is repeated over and over so few can say they haven’t heard of him. That’s what MAGA does.
Andry.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.
He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.
Bring them back!

Like many women fleeing war and torture, Zoya & Sofya came to the UK as refugees.
But after fleeing their home countries, like many others, the UK's hostile policies have meant their problems haven't ended.

It seems that my body clock has set itself to all-night mode. Which is fine because I like the quiet of the wee small hours.

I think in these uncertain times it would be useful to remind ourselves of these famous words:
"To be is to do" — Socrates
"To do is to be" — Sartre
"Do be do be do" — Sinatra
"To be is to do" — Socrates
"To do is to be" — Sartre

A chap walked into a pub with a giant seabird. The barman said 'crikey, what's that giant seabird called? 'Oh, that's my pal Albert Ross' replied the chap.

Two men walk into a bar. One of them is spinning like a top so the barman asks the other one if his pal is okay. 'Oh yeah' said the man, 'that's just my mate Eddy'
