This is what a critically endangered Red Wolf looks like. If we work together, we can save them 🐺

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism?
Here is an answer: Good Things.
Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.
Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it.
The more we build community, the less it can take root.

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The picture shows a head portrait of Stevie who was a black greyhound with greying muzzle. His eyes have a gentle expression and his soft ears are relaxed to the side of his head.

I adopted Stevie, 12 years ago. He loved people, but was terrified to be parted from me (true separation anxiety).

Back then, there was no known method to help him and I had to figure out a lot myself. Now, new research has given us a reliable method.
If your dog is suffering, I can help.

Twigs are ok. Putting out hair, fur or things like washing lint are not a good idea as (baby) birds get their legs caught in them. In a natural environment, birds will find plenty to build their nests with.

In Pontypool, I saw the looming threat of Nigel Farage – and how Labour is playing into his hands | John Harris Instead of bowing to rightwing populism, Starmer should take it on by rebuilding towns – and giving people the security they crave, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Those of us pushing back against Farage are constantly undermined by Labour's pandering to him, and its destruction, one by one, of more hopeful visions of the future. Read this excellent column by @johnharris1969.bsky.social to see just how far it has gone. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My heart beats for anxious, fearful, traumatised dogs and those from a deprivation background.

Vincent has been with me for only 7 days. He was wary, tense, flinching and cowering at every movement, jumping at every sound.

With the right support, he comes happily towards me of his own accord.

After spending his six years of life in a shelter, Vincent came home to me last Monday.
A shy, clever, gentle dog, great with other dogs and my chickens.
They say Vincent enjoys tracking so will definitely do some nosework with him.

Separation anxiety, separation distress, separation fear - whichever term you use - causes extreme suffering. It must therefore be regarded as a behavioural emergency which needs professional help by a specialist.

The good news is we can now reliably help dogs feel safe alone at home. 💓🐾🐾

It's worth following George Monbiot for his incisive journalism.
