Around 20% of my work year is on an event called the Spine Race. It's brought me into the most wonderful community of endurance runners. I lead their checkpoint department & place c.150 people from Derbyshire to Scotland each January, to look after 500+ athletes
Anyone know the race?

Enough for today now. Almost at the point where I can consider the winter Spine signed off. Feedback collated and sent out. Post-race report written. Just a few kit jobs to do and a management meeting to attend!
But for now, itโs time to relax
Enjoy the rest of the weekend peeps ๐ฅฐ

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Iโm not sure weโve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.
