In a quiet, everyday home where recordings took place, there was an unseen presence—silent and invisible, yet profoundly unsettling. This presence was the silence itself, a force felt in the breath of the occupants, in the baby’s nursery, and in the quiet songs of loved ones. Behind this quiet horror, major corporations knew what was happening but chose to remain silent. This was no accident; it was a deliberate cover-up tied to a scientific discovery that revealed a hidden danger in everyday life. Claire Patterson, a determined scientist, sought to uncover the truth about the Earth's age but stumbled upon something far more urgent—a global poisoning by lead.

To accurately date the Earth, Patterson needed to measure lead levels in ancient meteorites, but modern contamination complicated his research. He began sampling air, Greenland ice, and ocean depths—and the findings were alarming. Toxic lead levels were pervasive worldwide, released largely by gasoline containing lead additives used by millions of vehicles. This invisible cloud of poison penetrated deep into human bodies, even reaching children’s brains. When Patterson raised his voice against the dangers of leaded gasoline, he faced fierce opposition. Laboratories tried to discredit him, industries mocked his findings, and oil companies fought tooth and nail to protect their profits.

Despite the attacks and obstacles, Patterson never gave up. His relentless pursuit of truth eventually led to the banning of leaded gasoline in many countries. The impact was profound: lead levels dropped dramatically, resulting in an estimated 80% reduction in associated health issues, sparing millions from brain damage and chronic illnesses. While Patterson may not be widely known today, his work fundamentally changed our world—showing that science, courage, and persistence can overcome even the most entrenched corporate interests to protect future generations.

Haven't been able to draw anything I really like so far tonight but I did put down the bare bones idea for a future cartoon.

Going to keep trying to draw assorted things tonight...maybe try to get in another hour before bed. I just have to keep reminding myself that not being happy with my results is a reason to try harder to improve instead of giving up.

(This was inspired by seeing "patriots" bitch about others trying to persuade them to switch to ammo that doesn't have the potential to poison 10 fully grown bald eagles per round)

I've been playing around with a new process called soft soldering or Tiffany technique. I use a soldering iron, copper and a lead free solder (jewellery and pieces you wear have to have lead free solder) to create unique pieces.

This pendant is a clear quartz shard with a Lapis Lazuli nugget.

I plan to oxidise this piece to bring out some of the textures in the metal and then it will be taken to my Christmas market I'm attending in Bradninch (Devon) on the 10th December.
