What's happened to American pride? Survey reveals dramatic shift

A new survey finds just 33% of Americans say they're "extremely proud" of their country, a major shift from the post-9/11 era of patriotism.

Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:

**Norfolk nudist camp's furious response to sex club policy**
By Ben Robinson, 20th June 26
The cheek of it! A Norfolk nudist group reacted with fury after council officials contacted it to warn they were bringing in new powers to regulate “sex establishments”.
Broadland Sun Association, which runs a naturist camp in Stoke Holy Cross, was angry at the implication it should be covered by the new policy, which requires sexual entertainment venues (SEVs), like lap dancing clubs, to apply for licences.
It accused South Norfolk Council of implying nudity itself was sexual and said such attitudes were a “throwback to the saucy postcard era”.
Steve Law, the club secretary, wrote back to the council demanding to know why it had been contacted and told officials they should visit to find out more about naturism.
He wrote: "We are grateful to have been asked for our views on the licensing of SEVs, but somewhat concerned that you appear to believe that our club may in some way be affected by such legislation or policymaking.
"We find it unlikely that contact was made with every limited company or club in the area and would be grateful if you could explain the reasoning which led to us being asked for our views."
The document was sent to the club by South Norfolk Council as part of a consultation exercise about the introduction of a licensing system to regulate SEVs, sex shops and sex cinemas...

Credit unions must remain a safe place for Black women

Credit unions have a long history of serving diverse members. In a climate where programs designed to promote diversity, equity and inclusion are under constant attack, they should double-down on that commitment.

"Organizers of Juneteenth celebrations across the country told ABC News that President Donald Trump's push against DEI policies has led to some disturbances in planned festivities -- some of which took place last weekend and others that are scheduled to be held on Thursday and over the coming weekend."

From a social science perspective, the key error of nationalism and racism is to prioritise one people's history over another's. Each individual and each society evolved within its own context, and all historical contexts are equally valid, understandable, and worthy of respect.

I almost forgot pride month. Diversity makes us stronger and more interesting so f-k you. (you know who you are and aren't 😁 ) I love this beautiful thing, seems royal, like a king or queen, and it seems like a lot of generative thriving going on in this scene. Maybe also a little bit of an edge, sneezy pollen and the little old face in the bottom left
