Today is the 17th day of Valentine's month of February, and I realize how much I love the gift of a quiet time, one when I can create, read, listen to music, do research, think, and generally relax and enjoy the peace.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

In silence, we discover who we truly are.

Silence is a source of great strength.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt.

‘Pooh!’ he whispered.
‘Yes, Piglet?’
‘Nothing,’ said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw. ‘I just wanted to be sure of you.’”

Protesters taking part in the "ICE Out for Good" event in Vero Beach, Florida on January 10, 2026. A peaceful protest expressing outrage at the murder of Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 7, 2026. Resist!
Excerpt from www.oala.ca/ground_articles/speaking-up-and-out/:
Currently, the only city in Ontario with an active Speakers’ Corner known to this author is Kitchener, which recently installed one at the corner of King and Frederick streets. While this space was a Speakers’ Corner prior to redevelopment, its presence was fairly discreet—a bench, some shrubs, and a sign saying “Speakers’ Corner.”
Artist Allan MacKay designed the new Speakers’ Corner in Kitchener.
Allan MacKay, an artist now based in Banff, Alberta, created the latest Speakers’ Corner in Kitchener in 2009 as part of the King Street streetscape renewal led by IBI Group. The piece is comprised of two granite walls that identify the space with repeating text PUBLICSPEAKINGPUBLICSPEAKINGPUBLICSPEAKING.
Central to the space is a mirror-polished stainless steel column, which reflects an anamorphic image rendered in porcelain tile around its base. The image, a panoramic photograph of the space taken by MacKay prior to redevelopment, reflects on the stainless steel and reconstructs itself, wrapping 360 degrees around the column. The original Speakers’ Corner sign can be seen in that image.
Along with the technical challenge of constructing a perfectly mirrored cylinder, MacKay received help with the technical challenge of the image projection from mathematician Dr. Jim Hunt. MacKay says, “I was interested in the experience of people finding the illusion, finding that little bit of magic that happens if you work mathematics in a certain way.”
While mathematics was important to the conceptualization, the Speakers’ Corner feature was close to MacKay’s heart. “I was doing a lot of speaking out about the [federal] government at that particular point in time, and so in a sense my own politics of the notion of public voice became very interesting, and I thought, well, it would be good to revitalize and reinvest this space with the aspect of being a Speakers’ Corner.”
Several hundred people turned out for the "Good Trouble" event in Vero Beach, Florida on July 17th, 2025. Today's "Good Trouble" event was a nationwide day of action called "Good Trouble Lives On," honoring the legacy of the late Congressman John Lewis. It involved over 1,600 events across the country, focusing on peaceful, nonviolent action and organizing rooted in the Civil Rights Movement, but addressing current challenges. Specifically, the protests targeted the Trump administration's policies related to civil rights, including deportations, healthcare cuts, and attacks on voting rights and social programs.
Please please write to the National park re post this link or tweet it but let people know whats happening to our wildlife. I first read this blog on Sunday and it's taken me a few days to be able to comment.
This is a National park that clearly promote on their website to come and visit the Cairngorms for its spectacular wildlife and the Mountain Hare is part of that promotion. What they fail to tell people is they allow the attached to happen within the national park. Why because of money!
I'm not anti shooting but to kill off populations of Hares because they carry a tick-borne disease that also affects Red Grouse is a disgrace. The big estates now charge in the region of £180 - £220 a brace to Kill Grouse and the poor Mountain Hare stands in the way of these large estates and profit!!
These estates also rent holiday let cottages to wildlife lovers again promoting Mountain Hares. Stay clear they can't have it both ways.
Please look at the link below and if you can help this to become public knowledge please do.

Harvey Milk was born on May 22, 1930, in Woodmere, New York, into a Jewish middle-class family shaped by strong civic values and social conformity. He studied at the State University of New York at Albany and later served in the United States Navy during the Korean War era, an experience that exposed him to rigid institutions and the limits of personal freedom. For years he lived on the East Coast, working in finance and commerce while remaining largely closeted, caught between professional expectations and his true identity. In the early 1970s he moved to San Francisco, where settling in the Castro District transformed his life. He opened a small camera shop that quickly became a meeting place for the LGBTQ community, a space for dialogue, solidarity, and political awakening. Milk understood that discrimination was systemic and that visibility could be turned into a political force. He encouraged gay men and lesbians to come out, believing that personal courage could dismantle collective fear. After several unsuccessful campaigns, he built broad alliances among LGBTQ citizens, workers, small business owners, and progressive movements. In 1977 he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man elected to public office in California. In office, he worked to pass anti-discrimination laws protecting people in employment, housing, and public services, while also supporting labor rights and marginalized communities. Milk’s approach rejected mere tolerance in favor of equality and political responsibility. His growing influence and symbolic power made him a target for conservative forces and those threatened by social change. On November 27, 1978, he was assassinated inside San Francisco City Hall by former supervisor Dan White, who shot him at close range after killing Mayor George Moscone. Milk’s death exposed deep injustices within political and judicial systems and shocked the nation. His legacy endures as a symbol of courage, visibility, and democratic participation, demonstrating that representation can protect lives and that silence imposed by power is itself a form of violence.I publish these images with the biographies of these individuals to remind, especially younger generations, that the rights we have today were never freely given but won by real people who paid with their lives. Men and women who chose dignity, freedom, and justice even when it meant exposure, isolation, persecution, or death. In a world where human rights are still violated every day, remembering their stories is not passive memory, but an act of conscience, responsibility, and resistance.

A couple of hundred senior citizens showed up in Vero Beach, Florida to participate in the "Fight the Trump Takeover" event, a nationwide mobilization effort that comes on the heels of a showdown in Texas over electoral maps. They gathered in temperatures that exceeded 90°F (32° C) to speak up and be heard. If they can brave the hot Florida sun in August then you can speak up too. If you're not speaking up in your community then you are allowing this to happen. This event was also attended by members of the Vets Against Trump organization.
