For > 300 days, the Georgian people displayed extraordinary resilience in the face of the Russia's seizure of power. They’ve showed solidarity, unity & refused to bow to the oppression.
This is more than just a protest – it is a fight for their country’s identity & right to build a better future 🇪🇺🇬🇪

Long before medicine became science, ancient humans watched dogs lick their wounds—and heal. That simple gesture sparked one of the oldest associations in human history: dogs and healing. In Sumer, this bond became divine. #DogHistory #Mesopotamia #art

That’s pretty much the line Russia wants crossing so they can say we started WWIII.

I have planted 17 new trees on my small 1.5 acres of Dorset. Rowan, Silver Birch, flowering Cherry, Acer, Tilia, Hawthorn, Weeping Silver Pear, Oaks, Weeping Willow, Ginko Biloba. A small orchard with apples, plums, cherry, & pear plus a Kent Cob nut tree. It’s lovely to watch them grow tall.

These cyber take downs of huge businesses like this brewery, M&S, Jaguar etc are an invidious way of destabilising a country. In whose interest ? Is the only baddie Russia or does China perpetrate these cyber attacks too?

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

I answered a call from Tennessee Williams when I worked as an ASM at Hampstead Theatre Club in 1969 . He asked to speak to James Roose Evans I replied he was out. The deep American voice on the phone said”’OK just tell him Tennessee called”, I nearly fainted.
