đŸ‡±đŸ‡č THE SINGING REVOLUTION

March 11, 1990 — Inside the Supreme Council hall in Vilnius, Lithuania becomes the first Soviet republic to declare independence from the USSR.

Delegates rise in solemn defiance as they sign the Act of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania. Outside, citizens gather in hope and fear, knowing Soviet tanks could roll in at any moment. This bold act of courage would spark the collapse of an empire.

Sometimes spending more will progress us faster in life — balance efficiency and price, because I’m not poor anymore, and I don’t have to be.

A quotation from Henry Commager

We cannot have a society half slave and half free; nor can we have thought half slave and half free. If we create an atmosphere in which men fear to think independently, inquire fearlessly, express themselves freely, we will in the end create the kind of society in which men no longer care to think independently or to inquire fearlessly.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1949-11-05), “What Ideas Are Safe?” Saturday Review

Lest we forget:

As historian AJP Taylor wryly remarked, the BBC’s first Director General [Baron John] Reith had "managed to preserve the technical #independence of the BBC by suppressing news which the government did not want published. This set a pattern for the future: the vaunted independence of the #BBC was secure so long as it was NOT exercised."

Support for 3rd referendum in Quebec at all-time low, new poll suggests
Despite the Parti QuĂ©bĂ©cois holding a narrow lead in the polls only months before a provincial election, and the party’s leader adamant he wants to hold a referendum on sovereignty, less than a third of Quebecers support the province seeking independence from Canada, according to a recent poll.

Hop vine at picking time. Near Independence, Polk County, Oregon. See general caption number 45

The image is a black and white photograph depicting hop vines in the midst of harvest season. The focus is on a single vine with its leaves, flowers, and cones hanging down towards a wire support structure that extends off-camera to presumably other hops plants or trees out of view, creating an archway over what appears to be an outdoor area designated for growing these crops. A few smaller vines can be seen in the background as well.

The hop plant has clusters of bountiful green cone-bearing structures indicative of harvest time. The foliage is dense and healthy-looking with a rich array of leaves varying from dark silvery-green at the tips down to deeper shades towards their bases, typical for this type of vine when it's ripe but before being picked by hand or machinery.

The sky in the background seems clear without any clouds visible which suggests an open-air environment. The picture has no human subjects and is not associated with a specific person based on gender or race as it focuses entirely on the plant life. There are handwritten date markings, "2-8-30", possibly indicating when this photo was taken.

The context provided mentions that these hops could be near Independence in Polk County, Oregon during picking time which suggests agricultural significance and activity around harvesting season at a specific geographic location within the United States.

I do hope #Labour or any future government don't come up with any sensible ideas on #immigration and #asylum, like working with our #EU neighbours, doing something to prevent #illegalwars and #genocide, or create safe routes to claim asylum and refuge. Why you ask? Well, once Scotland gains #independence I'll be charging straight into England illegally so I can get ÂŁ40k from #shabanamahmood and have a grand shopping spree in Gretna Gateway Outlet Village on the way home. đŸ’·đŸ‘

Today we had a short guided tour around the exhibition in the Hessian State Archive on the Hessian mercenaries. It featured a beautiful hand drawn #historical #map of a #hessian mercenary lieutenant of the battle of #Trenton, which happened just after the crossing of the #Delaware in the #American #War of #Independence. The map has been drawn from memory, more than half a year after the events for an inquiry by the Hessian landgravate in that matter. Digital version👇
