Part of the mutual aid activism training I did with many new activists, over 3 decades, sometimes solo teach-ins & sometimes collab teach-ins - always included training several folks to work in relay teams to spot/document possible state agents/agent provocateurs & how to kettle & remove them from crowded protests & active large blockades. It's ESSENTIAL proactive training. There's always state agents & also right wingnuts who try to infiltrate big activist movements.

are best at training to spot state & spy agents in midst. It's because of high level of natural skills. Patience with focus. Ability to be detached from emotional pulls. Few other reasons but these are some of the reasons that autistic activists, like me, do well with this type of movements work.

What happens when you look at the through a 1m telescope?

Well, as long as you filter the light, some pretty awesome pictures are possible!

]Have you ever wondered how much the sun moves in one day? Probably not. But those of us who care about these things and enjoy observing the motions of the sun in the sky do it. We're called observers. Here are two photographs taken one day apart at the same time from the deck of my home in Portobello New Zealand, where, every day, the sun is getting higher in the sky as we run up to summer. . You can also see the solar rotation as the sunspot has moved!
