As we head into a new week, many people may feel anxious or angry, helpless or scared. Please know that you are not alone. And know, too, that there is always hope, even in the hardest times. Good will always rise to the top eventually. For now, here is some Cornish medicine to soothe your soul. 😊

"Trump’s second term has been going about the way you’d expect the presidency of an anti-trans, pro-oligarch, corrupt mass deporter to go: not well!"

Trumpism Isn’t Working
As a checked-out president sits back and lets Elon Musk shred the civil service, the signs of economic calamity are growing—and Americans of all stripes are getting pissed off.

Shot this exact image under very similar conditions in December on 50mm. Opportunity struck to take it again with the 35mm f/2 IS, handheld this time.

ektar 100 (per usual). Scanned at home.

A orange and purple sunset on a still lake. Clouds reflect on the still water. A downed tree lies in the right side of the image, its decaying branches fanning into the water.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong.

He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man.

There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self

An absolute joke

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them
An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent…

A relentless, ruinous stupidity.

(Private Eye)
FOOT-IN- MOUTH ANOTHER Brexit "control of our borders" success story last month, with the entry into the UK of animal food products banned after an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Germany. The cause was the failure of an IT system called "import of products, animals, food and feed system" (IPAFFS) - one of many border controls that had to be created when the UK left the EU and lost the use of existing IT systems (ie the EU's food safety Traces platform). When Germany declared its foot and mouth outbreak on 10 January, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) immediately banned the import of cattle, pig and other animals and associated products. But it took a week for controls to take effect "due to failings in Defra's communications and IT systems, specifically IPAFFS" , according to a letter last week from Commons environment and food committee chair Alistair Carmichael to the Defra minister responsible, Baroness (Sue) Hayman. "As a result" , testimony from port operators showed, "prohibited German goods made it through the UK border" The head of health and public protection at the Dover Port Health Authority explained that the banned imports had gone through due to another feature forced on borders thanks to Brexit: the timing out of checks if they're not completed within a certain number of hours. Oh dear, another unreliable IT system necessitated by that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up.
