Hi! I just signed the urgent open letter to stand with UN human rights expert Francesca Albanese. The Trump administration just issued sanctions against her, because she stood up for people in Gaza! We can't stay silent — join me here to show Francesca people around the world have her back ✉️ ✍️ - https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_francesca_1_1/?whatsapp&utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=social_share&utm_campaign=54794&share_location=post_action

I share your sentiments, but I'm not sure suggesting she be nominated for a Nobel peace prize counts as "not staying silent", under the circumstances.

Not that I have any better suggestions.

I feel these days that I am living in some sort of dystopian movie.

I'm not sure why Jazzer finds your post amusing 🙄

Update: 'Dozens of Members of the European Parliament are gearing up to nominate Francesca Albanese for the Nobel Peace Prize, and several Nobel Laureates are already standing behind her and Gaza doctors!'

    • The venn diagram of people who are personally really bothered by the noise from GALA and are also deeply concerned about the local bat population looks remarkably just like a circle.
    • Language is a fluid and evolving thing and as it changes the original meaning of words can alter to take on a new true meaning or meanings. Original meaning is not the same as true meaning. Take the word literal which is now used to mean the very opposite of how the word used to be used, irritating for some of us but demonstrates the English language is vibrant and alive and also very subjective. But I must go and make myself a cup of tea now or I will literally die of thirst 
    • With the right type of feeder arrangement the access by parakeets, squirrels and rats can be eliminated completely. Likewise, the spread of disease can be minimised. The best method is to hang individual feeders inside a wire  cage that has a 2"x2" mesh on all sides that is mounted above ground. Being above ground it stops slugs and rats getting in. And with mesh on the bottom,the risk of transmitting disease from any droppings is eliminated. Small birds feel safe from predators in three These cages are available online for about £33
    • It is worthwhile noting that the original technical meaning was 'a reduction of 10%', which does not, to my mind, chime at all with 'drastically reduce'. I know that's how it is, I think lazily, often used nowadays but it does allow 'decimate' to be used so loosely that it loses meaning. And it can be confusing to those who know it's original meaning. I think that the fact that decimate and devastate are close homonyms does not help things here.
