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.

This is the party Elon Musk is endorsing and will have a big streamed interview with their leader next week in X.
German AfD politicians met with militant neo-Nazis at a secret event in Switzerland in December. A German investigative reporter infilitrated the event and got photos of the attendees, which included violent neo-Nazi groups Junge Tat and Blood & Honour.

U.S. Olympians are using their trip to the Olympics to get the basic preventative healthcare they can’t afford to get in the U.S.
We should be embarrassed that we’re the only industrialized country without universal healthcare — all because lobbyists pay off our politicians.
