We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

I always get Tamarins, Tamarind and Tamarisk mixed up. The first two are orangey coloured (aren’t they?) which doesn’t help.

I’d sooner be labelled a cute monkey than a flavoured bean, but the flower/grassy thing is nice too. Although probably has less of a personality than the lil primate

Nice turn of phrase to be ‘in capslock’ - a state of online outrage. I’ll be adopting that one, tyvm

Sorry/you’re welcome :)

Every one of those buildings is a face with a different way of going 😮

There's a link at the bottom of each story, to access a whole slew of tables detailing the results of the City Centre Crime Victim Survey, if you're a journalist and want to write about them, or an academic and want to study them, or are just curious. 8/

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

Mamdani shows a different way is possible The New York mayor’s resounding victory is a warning to Trump and his own party’s old guard

“The symbolism of the moment is hard to beat. At a time when Trump is not just demonising immigrants, but harassing them and sending masked goons to kidnap them from the street, America’s greatest city – and Trump’s hometown – has elected a Muslim immigrant to run it.”

Pink or Sichwan peppercorns (not the same thing) give a similar vibe

Ugh. "People are unhappy with the direction the country is going in."
Correct!!!
The government is leaning into far right rhetoric, where the people have JUST SHOWN OVERWHELMINGLY they want to go in a more caring, left leaning society that looks after all and rejects the racism of the right.

In the Parade? Awesome

I did it but wasn’t sure the last bit finished, I assumed I’d get an email. Giving it a few days.
(I did get the letter with pin etc)

This image is of the results of a poll carried out for Uplift by Ireland thinks. It shows that the majority of voters across all parties want our current policy on neutrality maintained. If you have a screen reader or other you can read the results and analysis of the whole poll at this link: https://www.uplift.ie/neutrality-files/ basically these results show that FG voters are 62 per cent in favour of retaining our neutrality ranging up to 99 per cent of PBP voters

Uplift and Ireland Thinks did the research on it recently so there's actually not any excuse for them not knowing this is the case:

“Customs vary wi’ the times, At Hallowe’en” Customs, Myths and Messiness

I repost this each October in the hope that the complexity of Halloween's origins and customs are more widely appreciated. Claims of a simple historical & mononational genealogy for this celebration are themselves examples of contemporary folklore/mythmaking. limerick1914.medium.com/customs-vary...
