I have just read the following from a friend in Wales. Sue, a veteran of Greenham Common, is in her late 70s & in poor health; & yet has been subject to arrest & imposition of unreasonable bail conditions, while her partner was subject to a raid on their home by police at 3am.
Her crime? To protest peacefully in defence of the right to protest.
The United Kingdom & its constituent parts have become, under a Labour government, a police state.

At the weekend I made a considered decision to join a silent, peaceful, sitting protest in Cardiff, in support of the campaign to de-proscribe Palestine Action. Most of you will be aware that this protest group was recently proscribed under the Terrorism Act, despite being non-violent. Members have been accused of damaging property (in Britain) which is involved in Israel's genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

My decision to protest was made primarily in defense of the right to protest, especially about Gaza . I knew that the Terrorism Act was powerful and punitive and I believed - and still believe - that using it against a non-violent protest group was a chilling step in the wrong direction.

Neolithic dog tooth bags found in Germany – The History Blog

"Three bags elaborately decorated with dog teeth have been discovered in the graves of Neolithic women near the village of Krauschwitz in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The women belonged to the Corded Ware Culture (ca. 2800–2200 B.C.), and are believed to have been part of the social elite who regularly wore these bags adorned with pierced dog teeth."

Now Im going to pitch bringing Bobwhite Quail back to the area, to the Land Trust and neighbor.
I just got some FANTASTIC personal news!The Dollar General that was in the works for going up next to my orchard-homestead is no longer in play.
Instead the local Land Trust is buying the fields beside and out behind my orchard-homestead and those fields are going to remain undeveloped as a nature preserve.
Furthermore on the other side of my orchard-homestead, the neighbor who sold the above property to the Land Trust, has secured a tax easement from the state for a good portion of his remaining property to remain undeveloped.
Now my neighbor and I are completely surrounded by nature preserves.
I cant see my neighbor, but I can sometimes hear a loud noise from over that way. There are thick woods between us in a low area that is often water logged.
