#Uyghur #China Jewher Ilham is a Uyghur Muslim who fled China after her father was arrested at the airport as they were heading to Indiana University for a visiting professor engagement. Soon after, he was sentenced to life in prison for being a political dissident. He told his daughter to continue on to the United States for a new life, that he'd rather she "sweep streets in the United States than stay in China". Ilham is now living in the United States and working on a documentary about the Chinese government forcing Uyghurs into detainment camps where they are tortured and used for forced labor. The camps have been described as re-education camps and the Chinese government claims they're addressing extremism. Ilham says their claims are false. She does not know if she will ever see her father again.
We put the green donut on two of our bucklings (Peter’s sons, Butter and Floppy) as I’ve yet to sell them and they’re getting to be breeding age. Don’t need them making babies with their sisters. I was actually surprised by how little the boys seemed to care, especially once they were no longer restrained.
Lily and I are doing our first farmer’s market next weekend, finally selling chocolate after all these years working to get the recipe just right! What do you think of the banner design for our tent? Do you like the period after the phrases - or should we take it away so it just says “No Sugar” instead of “No Sugar.” I’m leaning toward no period. Let me know what you think!
