@jon Frequently witnessing the recent Danish checks at the danish-german border, the principle seems obvious: non-white people get checked. Whites go unchecked.
Our governments and media apply two measures -
when #Israel does it, it is justified self defence and we will supply the weapons.
When #Iran does it, it is a despicable brazen attack.
As my first contribution to #FrugalAbundance - a brilliant new hashtag idea by @shojiwax - here a photo of a neighbour’s pink Camellia in full bloom just now. I love the abundant generosity of front gardens, sharing joy freely with everyone walking past!
(And a side note to #ClimateDiary: no idea whether this is a “normal” time for these to flower; yet agai stumped by lack of #phenological knowledge)
regarding #phenological knowledge - all the neighbourhood people who have taken delight in this #FrugalAbundance would probably be able to say when these #carmelia normally bloom - it just doesnt make it into formalized or academic knowledge.
I ll not forget our academic excursion to a nearby wildlife reserve, with state of the art digital audio and ML equipment, and the locals asked us what we were doing, and when we explained we would identify birds by their sounds, they just shook their heads sympathetically ..."why dont you just ask the people who know them all?" :)

Governments across western europe, whether UK, DK, DE, seem to be completely out of touch with their subjects, whom they ask to support mass murder and war crimes.
