Forget "how to do taxes", they need to teach a class in high school called "how to keep companies and landlords from fucking you over"

My boyfriend (Native American) told me all about the beautiful significance of feathers in Native American tribes, who may collect fallen bold Eagle feathers.

So, while I travel around the world making jewellery pieces inspired by the places I visit, and had recently been to Maine, Massachusetts and New York, I thought I should make an East Cost collection!

Inspired by the elements and colors of the east coast nature and culture!

Starting with feathers ❤
And I'll soon be uploading maple forests, moss, mushrooms and sealife inspired pieces to it too!

Die Eröffnungsfeier der Olympischen Sommerspiele in Paris zeigt, warum es ein Glück für Frankreich ist, dass der identitäre Nationalismus die Wahl verloren hat.#Paris #OlympischeSpiele2024 #Sport #Schwerpunkt

🚨 The Hungarian government introduced a National Card, allows Russian & Belarusian “guest workers” to enter country without security screenings. This policy follows closure of the controversial Russian-controlled International Investment Bank (IIB) or “spy bank,” has raised significant national security concerns.

Key points:
• The National Card system allows workers from Russia and Belarus, to enter Hungary WITHOUT a cap on numbers and without specific job restrictions.
• The card does not require proof of job demand & allows family reunification.
• projects like the Paks II nuclear plant, need for large numbers of Russian workers for project is questionable
• Security expert Rácz András warns policy opens a loophole similar to the IIB, potentially allowing large numbers of Russians to enter Hungary with NO oversight, posing a significant national security risk.
• Facilitate the movement of Russians within the Schengen zone, bypassing the restrictions faced by typical work permits.

https://t.co/S3KKZUf0V6
Hungary will now flood the EU with Russians.

Unvetted Russians to travel through the EU unhindered is a serious national security threat!

Hungary’s recent decision to ease visa restrictions for Russians is an open door to spies and EU leaders should take *urgent countermeasures!

The lack of necessity for such a broad and unregulated entry mechanism for Russian and Belarusian workers, combined with the potential for inadequate security vetting, raises serious concerns about the implications for Hungary and the wider Schengen area.

"The rise is being driven by a trio of variants, called Flirt because of shared mutations, that seem to be more immune-evasive and transmissible. And much of the US has been locked in heatwaves, with many Americans staying indoors to avoid the heat – which can lead to more spread of the virus.:

Trump is getting really careless about saying the quiet parts out loud:
“Get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore... You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”

"The Crown Estate, the monarchy’s property firm, owns much of the seabed surrounding Britain. Great British Energy will work with the firm to develop #OffshoreWind and other #CleanEnergy projects, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Thursday.

#GreatBritishEnergy is to be backed by $10.7 billion in public funding over the next five years. The government is hoping that private investors can be persuaded to pour in another $77.3 billion in support."

"The Crown Estate, which has a £15.5bn portfolio of land and seabed holdings, operates independently and returns its profits to the government.

On Wednesday, it announced profits of £1.1bn, up from £658mn the previous year, driven by offshore wind leasing contracts. The estate said it had 36 wind farms operating across its marine holdings with a combined capacity of 11.8GW."

NPR Just now:

Trump audio: “Kamala hates Jewish people.”

NPR Newsreader: “VP Harris has been married to a Jewish man for over a decade.”

The biggest casualty in the Trump era has been the death of truth. He and a lot of the GOP just wantonly lie. The media can’t even keep up with the fact checking and really do a poor job of stating bluntly “what Trump just said was a lie.”

Don’t say “an untruth” or whatever euphemism they’re using that day. It needs to be stated clearly “this is a lie.”

“A lie is halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.” —Winston Churchill

Theists:
The #gospels were anonymously written and didn’t start appearing until decades after the events they claim to describe. They started as oral tales, and there are no original manuscripts.

Why should anyone believe they’re true?

Good morning!

It's brunch day, so I'm skipping my early-morning walk as usual, hoping to minimize my pain sitting in the restaurant. I missed brunch last time, so it will be good to see people again.

My book sales yesterday topped out at 248. I don't think I've ever sold that many in a single day before -- mostly I sell 30-50. I have no idea what caused that huge spike, but I am very grateful that it happened. It's an unexpected windfall.

May you have unexpected good luck #today.
