I so look forward to the day.

omg. What a nightmare.

They HATE us they FEAR us but they NEED us. If only women would acknowledge their power, en masse, this could be over.

Obverse of a Roman denarius: Wreathed head of Caesar, right. Border of dots. Behind the bust a Lituus and Culullus.

#OnThisDay - 14 February - in 44 BC the 'Lupercalia Incident' occurred. Mark Antony attempted to present Caesar with a diadem – a symbol of kingship. A moment of deep political resonance and one which hastened Caesar's downfall. #History 🏺

My old pal @mortenmorland.bsky.social celebrating my 15th anniversary in Downing Street in style

For the first time in global legal history, a country has recognized the legal rights of insects, and it is the stingless bees of the Peruvian Amazon that are taking the first step toward a new model ... Peru just made history: stingless bees in the Amazon now have legal rights, letting communities sue to defend hives and habitat.

"It is the first time anywhere in the world that an insect species receives this kind of legal status."

February 14. St. Valentine's Day, a festival of love that amalgamates the Pagan traditions of Rome and northern Europe. It is also dedicated to the Norse deity Vali, the archer god, son of Odin, and to Juno Februa, Goddess of love.

Through bare tree branches the sun can be seen descending in a partly cloudy sky. Bright rays shine on a curved snow covered driveway, lighting on a golden retreiver with his tail confidently and proudly raised, returning to hearth and home.

Day's end

All we can do is try our best with what little time we have.
Volunteer with a worthy cause.
Donate to your favorite charities.
Craft mildly cursed jewelry out of ancient bones.
Have secret meetings with the old gods in the dark end of the forest.

Scarily reminiscent of the Irish Genocide (1845-1852). Human greed is evil.

A Canadian Owl. #owls Silent but deadly.

Today is the Ides of February. In ancient Rome, today was the start of the Parentalia, the chief Roman festival of the dead which lasted until the Feralia on 21 February. FYI.
