Expectations for the COP are high: this is the first meeting since the launch of the sixth IPCC report, in August this year. The document, which compiled data from 14,000 studies, presents five possible scenarios (from the most optimistic to the most pessimistic) for increasing global temperatures – and what we need to do to achieve each one. That is, if there is a time to discuss and decide actions, it is now.
The most important climate conference in recent years begins. Understand why it is fundamental, and know what will happen there.
At the start of COP 26, Greta Thunberg (Sweden), Vanessa Nakate (Uganda), Dominika Lasota (Poland) and Mitzi Tan (Philippines) once again confront world leaders to take charge of the climate disaster. In an open letter, which we reproduce here, they ask for “visionary and determined leadership.”.

… And this post is not about the cute kind.
During the Trump President era, we saw a lot of these trolls come onto the scene. They came in all shapes, sorts and numbers. Claiming to speak for the silent majority.
There was Gav666999 and Kazza343437787 and TruthFreedomSeeker23
There was the picture of the dog, and the cats, and the horse…There were pictures of sunsets, and clear photos taken from a photo shot.
How did you handle them?
I think, like a few people, with all my positive and hopeful thinking. When Trump lost (the first time) that maybe we’d see the Trolls go back to the caves, or under their bridges…
No such luck,
We got rid of the King Great Goblin…

You know that saying about grey hairs? You pluck one…3 or 4 grow in it’s stead?
So we finally got rid, of you know who…

“Then about dark, we heard incoming shells and we all hit the fox holes. All shells hit either on the beach or short of our position. At about 2000 hours, a groups of Japanese soldiers started hollering and running to our position. We killed all but one and he fell into a large hole before he got to us. The next day, just north of our position, several LSTs landed cameramen and reporters.”
John Holland, 11th Airborne Division
For another insight into the landing at Bito Beach, Leyte, John Holland, of the 675th Glider Field Artillery/11th Airborne Division speaks here…
“February 18, 1943, I was assigned and shipped by train to Camp MacKall, Hoffman, North Carolina, and I arrived on the 22th. The Army had started their 1st Airborne Division, which included glider and paratroops together. A division of about 8,000 included artillery, infantry, engineering, anti-aircraft artillery, tanks and support units.
“I was assigned to 675th Field Artillery, Battery A unit. This was a unit of 105 howitzers, short barrel with split rails to fit in the gliders for transport to battle areas. I was in the Communication Section which had to set up telephones and switchboards to all positions and also radio.
After landing on Leyte… ” Further enemy action did not occur until just before dark when 3 Japanese planes came…

Yesterday at my Quaker meeting, Bear Creek Friends near Earlham, Iowa, we continued discussions related to Quakers and our relations with Native peoples generally, and those we know personally. There was deep sharing related to what we were learning about the institutions of forced assimilation. Like me, others indicated they had not understood the depths of the tragedies of forced assimilation. We have little specific information about the role of some of our ancestors. While it is not appropriate to share what was said without the permission of those present during the meeting’s discussion, I think it is important to state that we are engaged in the process of learning more, i.e. truth telling, and what we might do. There was discussion about healing.

It’s weird to think 4 years TODAY I finally got off the couch after being laid up for 3 days on the couch, too terrified to move…Only moving because Travie needed someone to open the door…And here I am today, having fun, feeling happy…and getting off the couch because Travie needs someone to open door, lol
I was reminded today, why you should always look out for signs from those who have crossed before. Samhain, is when the veil between the dead and living is at it’s thinnest. Be on the look out for signs, more than ever today.. I only realise today, that 4 years ago, today, I was getting the biggest sign of them all!
I always remembered that my huge anxiety attack, that took me out for about a month, is around now. Today, was the first day I got off of the couch, to paralyzed with…
