EU Countries Require Proof that Trade is Not Contributing to Deforestation

The 27 European Union countries recently adopted legislation requiring companies trading palm oil, cattle, wood, coffee, cocoa, rubber and soy to verify that the goods they sell in the EU have not led to deforestation. I found this AP on Ned Hamson’s blog: https://nedhamsonsecondlineviewofthenews.com/

… speaking of slowing deforestation:

Should Black People Be Afraid Now that Ron DeSantis To Announce 2024 Presidential Run With Elon Musk?

What does this all mean for Black and brown people and LGBT community? The answer? Can’t be good. The GOP is unabashedly the party of white supremacy and hate. DeSantis, like his Republican peers, has no problem expressing his hatred of Black people. The governor has done everything in his power to erase Black history, rescind voting rights and even praised Jordan Neely’s killer. DeSantis in the Oval office is downright dangerous for Black folks. With DeSantis and Trump as frontrunners for the Republican nomination, things keep going from bad to worse.  Source: Ron DeSantis To Announce 2024 Presidential Run With Elon Musk

Illusion … by Magic Mix

“I’ve been thinking here with myself

Talking to my buttons …

Life has so much beauty

Because living on illusions.

Dream and live with magic?

No, that’s not what I’m talking about.

I mean the illusion of sadness, pain, abandonment

We are strong and pure light ,

… blurry on a heavy body

Children worthy of Mother Earth

A single pulse with the All …

When the veil of this life is opened

We’ll see what we’ve always been

Until then, how about living, intensely and generously

Spreading Love and smiles to everyone?”

  • Research has found that some bowhead whales in the Bering–Chukchi–Beaufort (BCB) population are no longer migrating to the northwestern Bering Sea in the winter but remain in the Canadian Beaufort Sea.
  • These migratory shifts are occurring as sea ice declines in the region due to climate change.

Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mom) s1e25: Secrets Hurt, But Striving Helps

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

  Last week was bölüm/episode 24 ( Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mom) s1e24: Double Standards For Girls and For Boys? )

 

The summary comes from a fellow blogger (Birgit)’s point of view.

Cilek, the little adopted fairy girl, comes home from Kindergarten with the message that she learned that one does not have secrets from one’s best friends. Therefore, she plans to tell her siblings Cem and Ceren and their father Sadik that she is a fairy.

“In my dream, I confessed to dad and my siblings that I am a Fairy.”

Betüs has a hard time talking her out of it. She explains that getting everything by magic interferes with the human way of life, which is having to strive to fulfill their dreams. Fairies should only use magic to help humans in emergency situations.

At the same time, Tarik is fed up…
