I’m going to begin this with a reminder that the work of this blog is:
- clearing nonBPM nonphysical units (in a sense, doing the shadow work of the world - see also here), including doing spirit rescues,
and
- BPM strengthening of BPM units - some nonphysical, some incarnated people . . . and one of, if not the, best ways that is done is strengthening people's connection with their own Higher Self (which is possibly not what they interpret as their conscience).
Also:
Black Lives Matter! Be Anti-Racist, Anti-Sexist, and Actively Inclusive in ALL
Areas.
The Climate Crisis is real, urgent and existential!
The Pandemic is Real, and Vaccinations save lives. Stay
safe - wash your hands, wear a face mask in
public if prudent to do so, and follow informed medical advice.
We also need to be more human being rather than human doing.
Having made those points, here are some links that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value (articles by others unless stated otherwise):
- on diversity: “subtracting homogeneity”, by T. Thorne Coyle;
- my thoughts on: for my possible future “Adaptable DEI” business: “on being an informal carer and a worker”; “hate, hypocrisy and lies in the “no” campaign against the Voice”
- from my favourite Druid blogger: a call for witches to not be tame, neutral cooperators with conformity, but to be radical and challenging; what a truly Pagan culture would look like in the modern USA;
- this week’s “afterlife report” by the Zammits.
In preparation for tomorrow’s psychic weather report, I do a weekly summary of news links - every one of which is an opportunity to do the work of this blog, which I outlined at the start of this post. Before I get in to that, a CONTENT WARNING - some of the news links are about upsetting, disturbing or triggering events & attitudes. Seek competent help - including professional - if you need it. Content shown in green (which may be only part of a news story) is about what is generally considered “good news”, but personal history may still make such events triggering. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that linked articles may contains names and/or images of deceased people. Reader caution is recommended. For anyone distressed by anything in this post, or for any other reason considering seeking support, resources are available in Australia here, here, and here. In other nations, you will have to do an Internet search using terms such as “mental health support - <your nation>” (which, for instance, may lead to this, this, and this, in the USA, or this, this, and this, in France [biased towards English-language - my apologies]), or perhaps try https://www.befrienders.org/.

One part of the post covers natural and other disasters, which are always an excellent opportunity to do the work of this blog, so I will copy that section here:
- on NATURAL and OTHER DISASTERS (noting Article 1(3) of the UN Charter) including COVID-19 AND OTHER PANDEMICS:
- record heatwaves around the world - see here (F24), here (TG), here (TG), here (JC), here (F24), here (JC), here (F24), here (TG), here (F24), here on accusations of inadequate action in Italy (LM), here (health risks) (UN), and here on the global interconnections (TG), here (a “taste of what is to come”) (TND), here (on what cities can do) (DW), and here (TC), here (TC), and here (MJ) on the climate crisis aspects, and here on the term “heat storm” (CT) ... and another heatwave is expected (TG); associated bushfires in Spain (TND), Greece (TG), Switzerland (TG), and Canada (TG) and some thoughts on how to fight them (F24) - and see also here (F24); “what is perceived as a new phenomenon to the north of the Mediterranean has already become almost normal on its southern shore ... But unlike in Europe, the impact of these extreme weather events on health and mortality remains poorly understood, due to a lack of data” (LM); “poorest women hardest hit by heatwaves in India” (TNH); floods in South Sudan (DW) and South (F24) Korea (TG) - see also here (TG); lack of funds has forced the UN to reduce food supplies to Haiti, where half the population lacks food (UN) - see also here (TN; Nigeria has declared a state of emergency over food (bbc TP ); aid to the three million Syrians who depend on it may be cut off (DW); “current funding for critical aid efforts supporting Rohingya refugees living in camps in southern Bangladesh is simply not enough, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) has said, as dwindling resources have forced the second ration cut in three months” (UN); growing crisis in the Sahel (UN); in a blow to hopes of managing world hunger, Russia has ended the Black Sea grain export deal (TG) - see also here on the risks to millions of lives (Lowy) and here (AJ) - and effectively declared war on all grain ships in the Black Sea and the nations those ships are registered in (TND), possibly in response to sanctions (LM) (which exclude Russia’s nuclear industry (DW) ... and China is supporting Russia via Central Asia (Lowy)) - see also here (TND), here, on the impact in Africa (LM) ... Ukraine is trying to establish alternative transport routes (ABC) and see also this reminder that “food assistance provided for purportedly charitable reasons, and through our ideological attachment to globalized trade” created the vulnerability (Sarah Chayes); more gross irresponsibility from right wing extremists in the USA on COVID (JW); a warning that “lies about pandemic accord endangering future generations: WHO chief” (UN); “close to a million deaths by 2035 if TB prevention is not acted on” (UN); rising temperatures may widen the spread of malaria (AP); “Türkiye’s earthquake aftermath underscores the value of Civil Society. The civic sector has filled some of the void left by a corrupt authoritarian state” (FH);
Another part provides an overview/commentary, which is a useful guide to doing the work of this blog, so I will also copy that section here:
- denialism around climate change is now causing very obvious devastation, just as the permissive toleration of cronyism amongst elites is now undeniably resulting in devastation as one despot shuts down the food to a large portion of the world - something made possible by neoliberal attitudes amongst those elites (and their willingly duped sock puppets). On the other hand, accountability continues to make glacially slow and incremental process - but opportunities to stop lies have been missed, giving hate free rein in some areas.

Finally, remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing.
