1. It’s good to see this scandal being called out at last. My thanks and congratulations go to Lee Schofield, Karen Lloyd and Ian Convery. But it’s also absolutely infuriating that it has come to this point, as I explain in this thread. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The stars are for everyone, forever, thanks to three years of tireless campaigning to ensure wild camping rights are safe on Dartmoor. Today we celebrated this historic victory at Haytor. Tomorrow we will continue to work for access rights for all, beyond Dartmoor.

I think about this book often - I learned a lot and recontextualized a lot.

Knock at the door reveals delivery of a couple of boxes of HELLBLAZER OMNIBUS vol 2. Hefty tomes. Enfeebled by age, I needed assistance to get them indoors. Nice production, though. Pick one up... if you have the muscle, and spare cash.
