You’re very welcome :-)

Oh, I understand that. But in this one instance, you’re a step ahead of Australia, where it’s also still illegal, AND our medicinal grows are all indoors.

True. We’ve a long way to go.

Done.

Very normal people. Very normal administration. Not at all an unspoken holy
war in Iran.

Beautiful. This is not a great example, but it reminds me of some of the views from Kings Park, across the river to South Perth. :-)

At least you’re *allowed* to grow outdoors. I can’t speak for Australia-wide, but here in WA we have ZERO outdoor medicinal grows licensed to date.

Aug. 19, 1953: U.S. and Britain Topple Democratically Elected Government of Iran Democratically elected Iranian Premier Mohammad Mossadegh was removed from power in a coup.

History teachers: How are you contextualizing the U.S. war on Iran with your students? Consider covering the 1953 CIA coup overthrowing the democratically-elected Mossadegh government? Here is a good summary (with sources) from @zinnedproject.bsky.social. www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ir...

$3.7 Billion: Estimated Cost of Epic Fury’s First 100 Hours Operation Epic Fury costs nearly $900 million per day, driven by the large expenditure of munitions. Because most of this is not in the budget, the Pentagon will soon need to ask for more money.

Never forget that the U.S. can always find money for war, but not for education, health care, or to help those in need. This is 100% a choice. And it is 100% the wrong one. www.csis.org/analysis/37-...

Snickers, get off the cat!

Cat? What cat?

He always was a devizive sod.

They’ve abandoned Canberra?

Mood today.

Greyish image of a very angry-looking ghost in 18th century clothing at the foot of a bed, with a leaded glass window in the background. Drawn from life by Reginald Easton.

#PhantomsFriday This is a portrait of the ghost of a woman who strangled her child. It was drawn from life by Reginald Easton at Thurstaston Hall, Cheshire. According to Lord Halifax's account, Easton said, 'I beg your pardon, madam; I am an artist. Will you allow me to make a sketch of you?'

This is very important.
Since, as they have announced and demonstrated repeatedly, the USA have decided that the established rules no longer apply to them, Australian personnel must be withdrawn from the USA attack fleet immediately so that they/we are not complicit in ongoing crimes.

S01E01 - Athelney, Somerset

The #TimeTeam are investigating Alfred’s guerrilla camp. Although their base of operations, The George Hotel in Wedmore, is introduced and pictured at an impressively early 2m 45s, the team don’t actually sink a pint until they reach the King Alfred Inn at the 30m mark.

Ok, so let’s do this! Let’s track just how long it took Tony and the #TimeTeam archeologists to wind up in the pub drinking beer in each episode …

Quote of the night from Tony: “What Mick said might be a load of bollocks.” #TimeTeam

SWANSEA: Child sent home for being drunk after coming to school as Dylan Thomas for World Book Day A Swansea primary school has confirmed an eight-year-old was sent home this morning after appearing to be drunk while attending World Book Day dressed as Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. The child, who arr…

'the pupil announced he was “working on something important about Swansea” before lying on the playground tarmac to “feel the rhythm of the town”.

I would have to opt for Richard II. I auditioned for Scottish Youth Theatre back in the day with a recital of the abdication speech from it. It’s years since I last called it to mind, but I now realise I can still recall most of it today. “With mine own tears I wash away my balm.”

I’m rewatching old #TimeTeam episodes, and wondering if anyone ever produced a chart of how long it took the team to land in a pub in each episode? It’s 11m 14s into S01E02, if anyone ever fancied starting one.

Wow, quite the collection.

A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"

A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com

It almost suggests the existence of an earlier volume, “Glimpses of the World Unseen,” but I have never seen that.

I’m particularly excited to hear that the Sisters of the Valley - arguably the most talked about women in the #cannabis community - will be attending #MardiGrass all the way from California this year. Their presentation promises to be one to remember.

Is this true?
If so, it is evil.
