The beautiful Seven Springs at the village of Bisley in Gloucestershire. The wonder of water. I should have taken a video, the sound of running water x 7 was amazing. /|\

Just binge-listened to R4's The Island on iPlayer. Entertaining, but for the discomfort of having @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com as the arch-baddy. Ew! Noooo! (Curious - did they have to get permission from the real people whose names were taken in vain?)

The full text of the complaint tablet is well worth a read. It's in the alt text here:
Tell Ea-nа̄ṣir: Nanni sends the following message:

When you came, you said to me as follows: ‘I will give Gimil-Sin (when he comes) fine quality copper ingots.’ You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put ingots which were not good before my messenger (Ṣīt-Sin) and said: ‘If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!’

What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty-handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt! On account of that one (trifling) mina of silver which I owe(?) you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of copper, and Šumi-abum has likewise given 1,080 pounds of copper, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Šamaš.

How have you treated me for that copper? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full. Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any copper from you that is not of fine quality. I shall (from now on) select and take the ingots individually in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.

I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country. We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.

Yes, your outdoor lights, even in urban centers, negatively impact native species. The fix is an easy one. Outdoor lights should be hooded (only pointed down), Amber Color (3000 Kelvin or less), Low Intensity, and Timed (on only when used) #BringBackTheStars and #NaturalNight #Saegoah /|\
