Good evening Blueskies! Busy day, mostly in a very quiet office, which is really the best kind of office. Did a meeting standing up! Crazy. Our evening amble took us by a tranquil looking cut, so I got a pic. Best time of year for liminal walks, now into March.

& winter winds bring winter thrushes - fieldfares & redwing - who sway in the purple-catkinned alders as the sun goes, but just after dark (3 days later than last year) the peeping sound of oystercatchers newly inland to breed, circling the field then making off downriver

On CNN we played numerous examples of Rubio praising foreign aid as vital to American interests. We also revealed a letter he wrote to Biden in 2022 suggesting USAID's budget needed to be increased to counter Chinese Community Party influence around the globe.

Check it out folks, as the author says, you might not think these are all positive. But you should have heard of them all, and I certainly hadn't. We need to know what the government is actually doing, not just what matches the narrative of the British press
Almost everything you hear about the Government is filtered through the framing of the British press.
But what is already clear after six months of Keir Starmer’s administration is that they don’t treat all governments equally...

Wishing everyone everywhere peace and inspiration. Come what may, let us stand strong for all that is right and just. Let us defend those who are being mistreated, and live with kindness and respect as Martin Luther King hoped we would . Our task is clear. ❤️

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth.
There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions.
We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing.
One might even call it "Fake history".
