One more reason -- and an extremely important one at that -- NOT to change the clocks! It's so hard on people with #dementia, especially those who experience #Sundowning, and their #caregivers. November is #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth and #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth. Let's do better by this community -- 6.7 million and counting -- that already has so many challenges.

Ukraine’s people can count on their fellow Europeans.

Yesterday, President von der Leyen was in Kyiv and took stock of Ukraine’s impressive progress on its accession path to the EU.

She also attended the handover ceremony of our “School buses for Ukraine” solidarity campaign, delivering over 370 buses.

We continue to #StandWithUkraine.

MY BLOOD BOILS!

When asked why Hamas hasn't built bomb shelters for civilians, Mousa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas official, replied that is not of their concern but of the United Nations.

Journalist: Many people are asking: Since you have built 500 kilometers of tunnels, why haven’t you built bomb shelters, where civilians can hide during bombardments?
Mousa Abu Marzouk: We have built the tunnels because we had no other way of protecting ourselves from being targeted and killed.

UC #Berkeley Takes Significant Step to Repatriate 4,400 Native American Human Remains
==

It would be the largest repatriation by far at an institution that holds more than 9,000 ancestral remains and has lagged behind in returning its holdings under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

A Pinky & Brain spin-off for grown ups that always starts with them sitting tired at coffee in the morning:

Pinky: "What are we going to do tonight?"
Brain: "Same thing we do every night. Try to go to bed early"

And then the whole episode is just about how stuff comes up and prevents them from going to bed early.

SPOILER: Yes.

i was kayaking with my dad this morning and he had paddled ahead of me on our way back in. i was just slowly going along the shore looking for things to take pictures of when i looked down a little ravine and saw this incredible guy heading toward me. i was already head on with them and watched them lumber down the whole way over sticks and through the mud into the water. i have never been so excited to have my camera before. it very nearly stayed in the car today lol.

"The earliest “y’all” that I uncovered was in William Lisle’s “The Faire Æthiopian,” published in 1631 – “and this y'all know is true.”

That's 225 years before the citation in the “Oxford English Dictionary,” that shows it as a southernism."

"To heighten their colour, the rhizomes from which the spice [tumeric] is extracted are routinely dusted with lead chromate, a neurotoxin. The practice helps explain why South Asia has the highest rates of lead poisoning in the world.[...] Yet it turns out that with clever policies, enlightened leadership and astute messaging this blight can be greatly reduced. Bangladesh has shown how."
