«За что я невзлюбила Путина? <...> За цинизм. За расизм. За бесконечную войну. За ложь. Путин, случайно получив огромную власть в свои руки, распорядился ею с катастрофическими для России последствиями. И я не люблю его, потому что он не любит людей». Анна Политковская (30.08.1958–07.10.2006)

oh, the complaints in Vernon, BC, about how "hard" it is to drive around a wee roundabout and how much superior four-way stops supposedly are

“Juvenile white tips coming back was a great surprise,” Jenkins says. “Over time now, we see larger sharks swimming around day and night. A sighting can be rare, but it shows our reef is supporting a larger ecosystem, and we need to carry on.” www.rewildingmag.com/the-reef-men...

I think what they want is for someone to wave a magic wand and cause everyone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps all at once? That's the best I can glean from these strategies...

We have something very cute to share with you today 🦉 This summer, a pair of barn owls successfully reared four owlets at Kedleston Hall, marking Kedleston's first known breeding success in over two decades.

Four young barn owls jostle onto the small wooden ledge of their nest box, fixed to a huge oak tree behind them

A young barn owl in flight, its wings stretched up above it against a blurry green background, its white heart-shaped face facing the camera

Those airports Carney wants to privatize are making Canada more than half a billion dollars a year. But instead, billionaires and big foreign corporations are about to get a bonanza. And everyday travellers and airport workers will pay for it. #BCLab #CanLab #CdnPoli @canadianlabour.bsky.social

It's been such fun to participate! And one thing that has really struck me in retrospect is that the book hasn't given me a sense of English/London life of the era in general, only among the Forsytes and their type. Which isn’t often the case, but surely is intentional here.
