Moved into a house and last year we had at least 2 hedgehogs (maybe more but i only spotted 2 at the same time), this year got ready in advance and put together a... cosy house for them. Saw evidence of them waking up and the house was put in action.

Here are a few pics of the house (which i now reliase is a bit small for them them).

There are at least 2 for sure (glad that both seemed to survive the winter), and bizarrely they do fit in together at the same time. For now I am attracting them with food so its more of a canteen where they nap for an hour or two. Maybe later on one might settle in. But if il get more time before winter, will try to build a home made house instead (to be larger).

Would appreciate any advice around "keeping" hedgehogs, I am new to this so for now just been feeding them and giving them water. The food is brambles semi-wet.

And here are the hedgehogs, testing a different feeder at the moment and the first night they made s complete mess of it and broke it. Gonna put a video of them breaking it later.

The Education Department said Monday it has terminated agreements that previous administrations reached with five school districts and a college aimed at upholding rights and protections for transgender students.

The decision means the department will no longer play a role in enforcing those agreements, which called for schools to take steps to comply with federal civil rights law. The districts affected are Cape Henlopen School District in Delaware, Fife School District in Washington, Delaware Valley School District in Pennsylvania, and La Mesa-Spring Valley School District, Sacramento City Unified and Taft College in California.

Under the Biden and Obama administrations, the department interpreted Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in education, to include protections for transgender and gay students.

Still have a few more decals to throw on and some cleaning up but this was really fun to build. So many parts.

[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

U.S. lawmakers Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) traveled to Cuba and gave an exclusive interview to Belly of the Beast from Havana.

Their visit comes at a critical time for the island. Cuba is grappling with a deep economic crisis, fueled by U.S. “maximum pressure” sanctions and an oil blockade.

“The only way to really understand the impact, the humanitarian crisis we’ve created, is by being here and talking to the Cuban people,” said Jayapal. After their visit, both lawmakers described what they saw as a humanitarian crisis.

“This is an act of war that our country must stop,” stated Jackson.

This barn, RV, and grain silo are at the edge of our subdivision. I just noticed yesterday how nice it would be to paint. So I did.
