I'm standing with back to camera in a forest, 2 other people are further along the path. The ground is covered in leaves and the trees are bare. We are looking up at the trees who were creaking in the wind. Text at the bottom says 'forest bathing' & 'clophill centre'
When you quiet your mind and focus your senses the forest comes alive! From the fungi beneath our feet to the birds overhead we are surrounded by life that is oblivious to us and our man-made drama. Puts things into perspective ๐๐

Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""
The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

you can tell migrants are failing to culturally assimilate when they get arrested, tried and punished immediately for sex offences rather than being given a slightly smaller royal estate to live in

Catherine Connolly has won the Irish presidency in a landslide.
Because you are allergic to truth telling & principled foreign policy, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, I hope hearing a respected leader speak with honesty & integrity causes you both to break out in hives. #GazaGenocide

The far right mob, including from abroad are rioting at CityWest in West Dublin. The far right have less than 1% of the vote. These thugs include gangland members, domestic violence convicts, men barred from their children as well as animal abusers. The govt needs to jail them now.

I know some cis people probably think we never stop banging on but if you'd paid more attention to the horrifically vile stuff journalists have been saying in newspapers about trans people for the past 10 years, you'd probably be less shocked they're writing about mass deportations today.
