It was a warm morning at @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica today and this male Snowcap #hummingbird was enjoying a sunbath.

Ahmed sent me a video of Wateen, both before, with her smiling joyous laughter and after almost two year of genocide with her struggling to find the words, you can see her little heart break when she can't speak properly. Damn the world that does this to a child so beloved.

You're welcome. I did (unofficial) walking tours of the British Museum for a year and a half, telling the ghost stories I collected from staff, but I only touched on that in the book

For a (very) critical perspective, there's "Tales from the Haunted South: Dark Tourism & Memories of Slavery from the Civil War Era" by Tiya Miles

Interesting note on Cold War-era CIA experiments on bilocation / remote viewing 🧐

photograph of a paragraph which reads: Another email came from a former CIA agent who had worked in the Stargate Project, which was about remote viewing. For two decades both the United States and the Soviet Union employed psychics to see what was on the other side of the Iron Curtain. They scored many hits, and therefore the program kept going for twenty years. Of course, there are people who say it was not for real. Anyway, he was also very happy to see one
detail in my book, something he had experienced.

photograph of a printed paragraph, which reads: When María of Ágreda bilocated to Texas, she could speak to the natives. She didn't know their language, and they didn't know her language, but they understood each other. This former CIA agent said to me in an email, "Sometimes when I was remote viewing, I would break through to the other side [i.e., Russia] and I could talk to people on the other side. They could talk to me, and we understood each other perfectly, and I can put you in touch with more people who have had this experience."

I’ve been pleading for a week
just so I can evacuate

I’m evacuating now with nothing,
not even a tent

I didn’t have the cost of a truck
to move our mattresses, blankets

We will start from zero again
like every time

We are exhausted from life
and from pleading just to survive💔😭

I like the way Starmer says ‘We recognised the State of Israel more than 75 years ago as a homeland for the Jewish people’ as if the UK had no role in those events and no responsibility for how they played out.

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal.

This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer.
