Wild (and apparently prescient) dreams this morning. I dreamt that some #Anarchist friends and I were in a car (I was NOT driving), and the driver drove the car off the overpass into a stand of thick #green leafy trees. The car disappeared and we floated down to ground level, which turned into a hallway. The friend who was driving was arrested, while the rest of us got away -- off to do some hacking and monkey wrenching. In this reality, I woke up to find out that the admin for my political/anarchist instance, #Kolektiva was raided by the FBI and arrested. Seems like shit is going down.
"Someone was 'round here asking questions
'Bout someone who looks like you
I said, I don't know where you are
He said, that he was going to be back
I told him where you are..." #DontBackDown#RageAgainstTheMachine
We had a #cycletrip to #BudleighSalterton today, which is a nice round trip of 48 km. It was a pleasant day, not too hot and with a refreshing breeze. Those of you in the know will be glad that I wore shorts and so my pump could not get stuck in my trouser leg.
The #beach is made of pebbles of various sizes ranging from the size 15-20 cm down to less than a centimetre. The colours vary from #purple and #pink to #grey and #blue.
Looking out to #sea (the #EnglishChannel), you can see that the water is various colours too ranging from marine #blue and #green to #brown near the #shore where #sediment gets churned up. (Note, it is nothing to do with the current notorious practices of private water companies.)

"You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of #science enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a #dream, why do we have #toes, why is the #moon round, what is the birthday of the #world, why is #grass#green?"These are profound, important #questions. They just #bubble right out of them.You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become #incurious.Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade." #CarlSagan
The session in a lupine field behind us, it came out great! I'm post-producing photos from there and Amsterdam, a lot of work. I will upload more pictures soon. 😊 This picture I took with so special lens, which I detached from the old Smena 8M camera and adapted to Sony E-mount.
Red green and hematite grey is one of my favourite colour mixes. Red and green completing each other with gemstones and glass , like a red rose in a beautiful green garden, and hematite grey balancing and adding that stunning androgynous shine. All of those handmade necklaces and many more (adjustable, worldwide shipping) are available on my lil Etsy shop ❤️

It’s time for environmentalists to wake up to our reality, to adapt – and to build. We can no longer allow red tape to hold back our green revolution.
