I had to get done with morning chores early to meet my daughter in town at the Farmer's market.
Today is my birthday so we treated ourselves to some fancy coffee. The market had live music and a beautiful display of goods for sale. We loaded up on the best fruit and veggies Humboldt has to offer.
At the end of every month I try to use the money left in my budget to give back to the community. Today we got some twenty dollar bills from the ATM on our way to the market. Everyone that we bought from got a twenty dollar tip. We included the musicians on our way out.
The perfect way to celebrate together.
We had great fun.

A quotation from Edna St. Vincent Millay
I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind.
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) American poet
Poem (1928-07), “Dirge without Music,” st. 1, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 157

🇺🇸 Trump on secondary tariffs on Russia:
"I have not done phase two or phase three yet."
‼️ Donald Trump said his relations with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un are very good, but said he would understand to what extent in a couple of weeks.
Radio Free Trumpistan reshared this.
What he could do is to impose tariffs on countries that still have trade with Russia like what they do with India. But there is obviously a risk of them being pushed into the arms of China.
Individual sailors and soldiers who destroyed boat Tuesday may have committed war crimes.
"'…zero evidence of self-defense…Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea,' according to Adam Isacson, director for defense oversight at…Washington Office on Latin America. 'Even if…drugs aboard…not a capital offense.'"
Lethal force against civilians in international waters 'is a war crime if not in self-defense,” according to Isacson."

After experimenting further with PeerTube channels, it seems both PeerTube channels and PeerTube accounts DO federate correctly.
So, it is fine to follow either PeerTube accounts or channels from Mastodon etc.
Apologies to everyone I confused with the previous version of this post. There used to be a problem with channel federation but it has apparently been solved.
I should have checked the latest situation before posting. I messed up, sorry. 😞

Chagas disease, long considered only a threat abroad, is established in California and the Southern U.S.
“The disease is definitely underdiagnosed,” said Hernandez, the Kaiser cardiologist.
“If we screened for it and caught it early, most patients could be cured.
The problem is we don’t, and people end up dying or requiring terrifically expensive care,” including organ transplants and surgery.

Chagas disease: The deadly disease you've never heard of is here
Chagas disease is deadly, pervasive and more prevalent in the U.S. than you'd think. It's not just brought here by people from nations where the disease is endemic, but by bloodsucking kissing bugs native to the U.S.Susanne Rust (Los Angeles Times)
reshared this
The Kissing Bug isn't the only Assassin Bug type to beware of because their bites are as painful as bee stings. They have a similar body build, so learn to identify them when you see them. Kissing Bug, Assassin Bug, Wheel Bug etc.
Thank you for reminding/informing us about Chagas disease, Chuck!
To learn more, there's a good article by the World Health Organization:

It's a nice summary, and available without the LA Times firewall.

p.s. It's interesting that a possible explanation of your namesake's persistent health problems after his explorations in Argentina was a Trypanosoma cruzi infection (Chagas disease). I bet you knew that, but maybe it's interesting news for some.
Detail
Chagas is a potentially life-threatening disease affecting 8 million people worldwide. The priority is to interrupt transmission and provide health care to infected or ill patients. #BeatNTDswww.who.int

Israel says that, as imperial Britain did not specify political rights for Palestinians, only Jews have a right to sovereignty over Palestine from the river to the sea.
That's the century-long argument stemming from the Balfour declaration of 1917.
And the EU's Josep Borrell agreed.

Idk that that's the point. I thought the poster might be alluding to Jewish powerbrokers. I was trying to point out that power and money is not confined to one group.
The letter was addressed to Rothschild, and the British started bringing Eastern European Jews to Palestine after ww1 finished. They had long planned it.
British & American Christian Zionists were very influential.

The British public was outraged at the time it was issued, though, and whatever the UK did in that regard was on the QT. Britain was operating under the League of Nations' -issued Palestine Mandate but that was the extent of it at the time.

I feel the relationships of people I care about starting to fray from the constant assault on their well being. Frustrations are not always hidden well.
The thing is we should remember we are stronger and more able to weather the weather together.
