I enjoy rook bathing in #Beckenham Place Park i.e. sitting amongst a flock of rooks on the field by the river at #Ravensbourne Station end. They are tame / human-friendly enough to ignore us while they scrutinise grass searching for next meal

However, if you could *try* to aim in the direction of the White House, we’d all be very grateful.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

I guess that a key aspect of barbarism is not to recognise hard-won standards of behavior
e.g #Trump in US
a) not bowing to legal verdicts
b) tearing up contracts tho' ppl already invested bc of them
c) not supporting Ukraine.
Russia's cruelty there is truly barbaric as in this #CNN scoop
🚨 CNN published intercepted calls revealing Russian forces directing the execution of Ukrainian POWs: “Capture the commander, kill the others.” These atrocities happened late last year, with over 20 investigations now underway into POW executions ordered by senior commanders.

#Cricket? Complex game w/ much to analyse:
Q. How does a #fast #bowler who runs up to wicket at eg 25 mph deliver the ball 20+ yards to batsman at 100+ mph?
A. it's the principle of #kinetic #linking ie #momentum increases as it rises from leg muscles to bowling arm
