There's hope—I've just returned from Brittany.
I gathered a few acorns at the foot of the thousand-year-old oak tree in Tronjoly

Our youth are on the barricades fighting for a better world, for brotherhood, equality, and freedom.
The bourgeois oligarchy will not win.
We are a people united in our diversity.
Macron’s police are killing high school students, blinding them, and tearing off their hands.
Far-right militias calmly talk with the police before going on to attack peaceful protesters.
The alliance between the police and the militia is a sign of a serious drift away from democracy; our government is seeking civil war at all costs.

The French government has brought together key players in the internet industry; social media is being censored, just as it is in any self-respecting dictatorship.

Information exclusive Blast : le Premier ministre a préparé la coupure des réseaux sociaux pour le 24 octobre
Deux jours avant la manifestation du 24 octobre, le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu a demandé à Orange, SFR, Free et Bouygues Telecom de se tenir prêts à couper l’accès à TikTok, Instagram ,Snapchat et X. Blast révèle la lettre et le compte rendu de la réunion qui a suivi, où les opérateurs ont exprimé leurs doutes. Le gouvernement avait déjà utilisée cette mesure liberticide en Nouvelle-Calédonie en 2024, avant d’être désavoué par le Conseil d’État.

Le 17 c'est pour le pote punk qui a sauté sur deux flics dans leur véhicule, il avait demandé qu'on veille sur son chien, il a sauvé une fille des mains de ces salauds à la Gare saint Charles. En zonzon depuis, mais dans nos cœurs.
In France, police officers who passed their recruitment exams with an average mark of 7 out of 20 are beating secondary school pupils with their batons because the pupils are demanding teachers. A true dystopia.
119 injured (some seriously: an eye gouged out, fractured jaws, broken limbs), 1,065 arrests…
These are the figures for police repression in France against minors who are simply asking for the means to study under decent conditions.
High school students are demanding teachers, nurses, principals, air conditioning, toilet paper, and—for some—drinking water at their schools.
These kids are minors, and Macron’s response is, “Let’s gouge their eyes out.”
Again

Map of Atlantis: Based on Plato and Diodorus
Date: circa 1775
Contrary to Plato’s account, which specifies that it was located west of the Pillars of Hercules, other scholars propose a location in the heart of the Mediterranean, as shown on this map.
It's #ThickTrunkTuesday - A wonderful day to all the tree lovers, and may the rain come back soon!

French actress Adèle Haenel went to a TV show that gives guests a «Carte blanche» and she called out the Genocide in Gaza in a powerful way. The channel censored the program and removed it from its catch-up platforms, ironically proving her right...
Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday dear friends.
The thousand-year-old yew tree of Saint-Ursin (Manche, France)
An incredible trunk with a circumference of 10.18 m (at a height of 1.30 m)
This venerable yew—over 1,000 years old—is unique in that it has developed adventitious roots.

The Tamme-Lauri oak (Estonia).
A circumference of 8.20 meters and an age of around 600 years, this venerable oak—the oldest in the entire country—is the pride of all its residents; it also adorns one side of the 10-kroon Estonian banknote.
