I know we're all keyed into the indictment news, but... Also TODAY:

Brutal heat in Argentina (in WINTER)
Uprecedented heat in Japan
Most intense rain in 140 years in China
Iran shuts down for two days due to high temperatures
Record low sea ice in Antarctica for July
Highest ever recorded ocean temps in Florida
"Dangerous heat" in US Southwest

We're seeing the climate spin out of control.

Stop burning carbon.

King Arthur's final resting place is also said to be in Shropshire if we are to believe our folklore. Local legends state that he is buried at The Berth, near Baschurch, and Excalibur was returned to the lady of the lake at The Berth Pool.

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

*NEW Post*

My latest post discusses some of Shropshire’s less familiar spirits. Ghosts are such wonderful things, deserving of remembrance. They can serve as conduits for the past. I really hope you enjoy reading!

Wild camping allowed on Dartmoor again after appeal succeeds

#Dartmoor National Park Authority had appealed against January high court ruling that outlawed practice.

Camping had been assumed to be allowed under the Dartmoor Commons Act since 1985, until a judge ruled otherwise in Jan. It was the only place in England such an activity was allowed without requiring landowner permission
