I went to a Maxim Gaspari exhibition yesterday. He tried to capture the Slovene peasant world’s customs in a mythological context. I live in Slovenia and I feel it’s most been lost. Can we regain empathy for the poor and their customs?

The coal part is good for the environment but everything else obviously terrible.

My sister was eight when she was diagnosed with leukemia. I cannot imagine the horror of being deported from the only home you’ve ever known ON TOP of fighting a deadly disease. This poor baby

Day 7 of Lent I’m not missing meat at all. I’m eating fish, beans, lentils, cheese, eggs, seeds and nuts for protein. 🍳 🎣 🫘 🧀 🌰

Day 2 of Lent. I’m giving up meat but decided to eat some meat leftovers which were going in the bin. I think less waste is better.

Day 1 of giving up meat for Lent. Obviously I ate more than this apple but I want to eat more simple unprocessed foods and celebrate local fresh produce. #vegetarianism #climate

He’s doing it to attempt to keep the alliance together. It’s a last ditch attempt, Charles is very eco, against everything Trump stands for but he’s trying to keep dialogue open.

I think he’s attempting to convince Trump to stay in the alliance but Trump is not going to enjoy being in an actual king’s palace!

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Natural fibres such as wool and cashmere don’t need to be washed very often (even never!) they need air and some sunlight. Polyester (same material as plastic bottles) bond with your skins oils and so they start to smell and each wash releases microplastics into the environment. Go natural!

This will not be the first economic blackout or the last. But it's a place for new people to start, and for others to continue their boycott. Eat. The. Rich.
A graphic titled "2025 Economic Blackout Schedule" outlines planned consumer blackouts. The word "BLACKOUT" is displayed in bold black letters with a crossed-out shopping cart icon inside the letter "O." A calendar and clock emoji appear in the top right corner. The schedule lists:

Total Blackout (Feb. 28): No purchases at all, with a recommendation to buy essentials in advance and shop local if necessary.
Amazon Blackout (March 7-14): No purchases from Amazon.
Nestlé Blackout (March 21-28): No purchases of Nestlé products, including Gerber, Perrier, Chefmate, Purina, and Friskies.
Walmart Blackout (April 7-14): No purchases from Walmart or Walmart.com. A sad face emoji is next to Walmart's name.
Total Blackout 2 (April 18): Another full no-purchase day with similar recommendations.
At the bottom, three sections encourage people to:

Spread the word – by sharing the information.
Prepare – by purchasing necessities before the blackout days.
Spend $0 – by avoiding purchases on blackout days and shopping local if necessary.

I almost bought a book on Amazon today, but then I went to eBay and got it slightly used for half the price. Boycotting Amazon is fun AND easy.
