This is how a boreal forest should look like. The Finnish government removed boreal forests from the nature restoration plan without consultation. There are still unprotected small areas in southern Finland left from phased clear-cutting management. #RestoreNature 🌲

Some might even characterize it as cruel or unusual. We live now in a country governed by sadists. They wield enormous power & abuse that power to inflict harm on those they “serve”. These are nightmares the founders gifted us rule of law & Constitution to prevent. We are a failed society.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Why Anthony Albanese hates the Greens
Unlike Julia Gillard’s joint signing of the agreement on the Clean Energy Act in 2011, Albanese has never held a meeting in public with the Greens. He routinely meets Greens leader Larissa Waters, but you wouldn’t know it. It’s as if Labor won the last election outright and the Greens don’t exist.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

The largest fish at top left has a bulky body with bold stripes in pink, yellow, and blue-green, sharp teeth, spiny dorsal fins, and rounded tail fins. Below it, a rounded angelfish with a prominent, bulbous head displays a pink body, green face, and yellow-striped fins with black dots on the chest fin. Other fish include a slender, striped fish with fin rays resembling spikes, a stout fish with vivid pink, green, and yellow markings, and the smallest, a yellow fish adorned with black diamond patterns and green fins. Each fish is labeled with number and French descriptions.
