#ThickTrunkTuesday

A huge thank you to Sweet Memory- the sweet shop in Fore Street for hosting our plant stall-
£21.50 raised for our theatre work over the weekend
There are lots of lovely plants there- cooking herbs and garden plants , replenished every few days as current plants sell . Prices from £1 to £4. Every penny goes into funding rehearsal space/ costuming/ insurance and keeping our theatre work running.

Once upon a time.
Today.
There was a very Trumpy rural town.
This small fruit stand is sometimes on the sidewalk in front of the parking lot of a chain pizza business.
I always stop and buy something.
Always.
This time while I was buying cherries a police officer showed up. The fruit vendor didn't understand that he was telling her that the pizza business had asked the police to remove her from in front of their business.
I understood.
I offered to help move her stand the one foot that would be required to comply.
As I started moving oranges and mangos other people stopped to help. Eventually even the officer came back to help us.
We got it done.
I took this photo to share with my husband and to help explain how I came to pay $100 for a small bag of cherries.
Things are changing in a good way.
I felt it today like an earthquake.

In the northern hemisphere, the sun moves clockwise in the sky. This is why clocks, which were based on sundials, have hands that move clockwise.

In 2014 the Bolivians finally decided to break free of this colonial legacy. They're in the southern hemisphere, after all! So the clock on their parliament now looks like this.

I like it. But it must make a tempting target for counter-revolutionaries.

"RFK is unwilling to admit that he made a miscalculation or simply misunderstood percentages. Seemingly, this regime would prefer to try to rewrite the fundamental rules of mathematics rather than climb down over a simple mistake."

My latest substack.

In light of the release of the #1926Census - Project Infant volunteers are currently working on adding enhanced transcripts of the 1901, 1911 and 1926 censuses for various institutions in Ireland.

You can view the ones we have so far (with more on the way) here: https://projectinfant.ie/census

Longshot, but: are you in Canada and have a copy of a CD called "Great Northern" by the fusion jazz band Skywalk? I've been on the hunt for a physical copy, would love to buy it off you.
