Just a Reed Bunting singing
A sandbar splitting the reflective lake at sunset.
A dozen mute swans against a backdrop of mountains and lakes refracting the sun.
Sunset over a peninsula riding into Great Prespa Lake.
An expansive view of wetland, lake and mountains at dusk.
Sunlight sliding from the mountains and lakes of Prespa, a dozen mute swans floating out into deeper water and Dalmatian pelicans rowing through the cold, dimming air towards their reed-island nests. As I turn to leave a marsh glides past, its wings as still as the surface of the lake.
The snow drops arrived!
Welcome! 🙏 🤍💚🌱
ProPublica has done amazing work again--a searchable database of Trump administration staff, their wealth and ties to the industries they are now regulating.

After having been caught illegally redacting files that incriminate Trump, DOJ finally published *some* of them but withheld others, evidently in the hopes that people wouldn't notice yet another partial release.
For the GOP, Trump raping a 13-year old girl is just not important.
Huge bike growth in San Diego after making it safer to ride!
Annual bike trips jumped 50k to 115k after the lane was installed in 2021. By 2025, 132k.
“The lesson is straightforward: when people feel safe, they ride.”

We remember Paul Conroy on our #Journalists_Altar – photojournalist, film-maker, friend to many and to St Bride's. A candle burns in his memory.
May he rest in peace.
Vertical Gardening 🏡
In the urban city garden there is often no option but to use vertical space. Ground conditions in a city space often mean dampness and an increase in slugs and snails at ground level.

These fast growing beans can be planted in the autumn to over-winter or in early spring (February/March) for a summer crop. They grow well in soil or in containers.

This is the year I turn the backyard into a colourful oasis. It’s also Elke’s playground so this information is good to know: www.gardencentrescanada.ca/garden-tips/...

ICE converting warehouses to deportation camps reminds me of Les Milles, a tile factory that was converted to an infamous deportation camp and prison by the French Vichy regime. Thousands of "enemy aliens" were imprisoned here, many of them were sent from there to Auschwitz and Dachau.

Light blue butterflies on purple flowers. Green grass in the background.
Everything is terrible in the world right now except for these Silvery Blue butterflies enjoying some vetch flowers. #Bloomscrolling 🦋
Pretty putting your finger on it….

On a kitchen shelf: Tulips in shades of pink, yellow and orange are arranged in little pottery vases, before a cobalt blue jar, plate, and teapot.
S Wisconsin #FlowerReport: a few tulips, and a belief that spring is near. “The older I grow the more do I love spring and spring flowers. Is it so with you?”

The utter lovely villageness of Ireland. Yesterday, spotted someone’s debit card in a car park. (I was buying 24 doughnuts, donut judge me.) Popped a note in a local group. Five minutes later, two people rang the owner; we met at the church where our daughters both take ballet. Ireland is a village.
I’m livid with the mainstream press and their support of the US-Israel war -
It’s unrepresentative of UK citizens. It only represents the rich gung-ho Epstein class.
I’m more determined than ever to build the citizen journalism alternative.

Go talk to your Iranian friends, students, postdocs, colleagues. Offer to take on their tasks at work. There is little contact with Iran right now from outside - most of us have no idea what it is like not to have contact with family members while they are being attacked.
A pean to Athens. Too broke for Paris’s runway, too dignified for London’s awful weather, Athens shows up with a chipped marble column, a plate of grilled meat, and the audacity of a city that invented the party 3,000 years ago and never stopped. www.ekathimerini.com/leisure/dest...
Well, bless my cotton socks! The royals are right up there with the Trumps.

As the Ukraine war grinds into its fourth year, Xi Jinping weighs whether to invade Taiwan, and American bombers pummel Iran with no clear objective, the great man (or not-so-great man) theory of history is overdue for a reconsideration. lnk.thebulwark.com/4s2dLin
