and here's here's a bit of natural ultramarine (aka lazurite, or lapis lazuli) from the Mardan-y-Char mine at Sar-e-Sang, Afghanistan, in the Hunterian Museum collection, Glasgow.

The intensity of this colour is pretty accurate - this is close to the "eye" grade of the most intense blue used for jewellery. Broken coarse crystals known as "lajuaat crystal" grade are still used for pigment production from this mine.

OK, I'm going to hammer on this one. Five days might not seem like much to get 700,000 signature, but I've seen petitions get to 1 million in a day to save baby seals, so why not banning conversion therapy.
We have 4 countries above the threshold, but even if you're in those, your signature can make a different to reach the million.
Aside from that, we are nearing the threshold in the following countries:
Belgium
Slovenia
The Netherlands
Denmark
Germany

The Netherlands is now also over the threshold :rainbowdance:
Keep signing anyway, still a long way to go!

This is too little, too late: there's no cargo heading for the USA from China at the moment and it'll take over a month for anything at all to arrive (even if it left tomorrow, which it won't, because the factories have either closed or are now committed to other markets). By the end of a 90 day pause goods *might* begin arriving again … if anyone in China trusts the USA not to hike tariffs again (which they obviously don't). So there are going to be shortages by and by.
