Leaving a wild area in your yard will let you see how parrots on the ground will fell high grass stalks to harvest the seeds *If your landlord will allow it*

It's alarming that at least half of the thinned timber is being burnt straight away, releasing carbon into the atmosphere and contributing to climate change, increasing water and heat stress on the very forests thinning is supposed to protect.

9/ hot take eight: Fredy Perlman was right.
Genocide, the rationally calculated extermination of human populations designated as legitimate prey, has not been an aberration in an otherwise peaceful march of progress. Genocide has been a prerequisite of that progress. This is why national armed forces were indispensable to the wielders of capital. These forces did not only protect the owners of capital from the insurrectionary wrath of their own exploited wage workers. These forces also captured the holy grail, the magic lantern, the preliminary capital, by battering the gates of resisting or unresisting outsiders, by looting, deporting & murdering.

The footprints of the national armies are the traces of the march of progress. These patriotic armies were, & still are, the seventh wonder of the world. In them, the wolf lay alongside the lamb, the spider alongside the fly. In them, exploited workers were the chums of exploiters, indebted peasants the chums of creditors, suckers the chums of hustlers in a companionship stimulated not by love but by hatred — hatred of potential sources of preliminary capital designated as unbelievers, savages, inferior races.

Human communities as variegated in their ways & beliefs as birds are in feathers were invaded, despoiled & at last exterminated beyond imagination’s grasp. The clothes & artifacts of the vanished communities were gathered up as trophies & displayed in museums as additional traces of the march of progress; the extinct beliefs & ways became the curiosities of yet another of the invaders’ many sciences. The expropriated fields, forests & animals were garnered as bonanzas, as preliminary capital, as the precondition for the production process that was to turn the fields into farms, the trees into lumber, the animals into hats, the minerals into munitions, the human survivors into cheap labor. Genocide was, & still is, the precondition, the cornerstone & ground work ...

liberals cannot defeat fascists because they have spent the last 40 years declaring that the fascists are right about all of their complaints and that all of your problems really are caused by immigrants or "affirmative action" or sexual minorities. they only disagree with the fascists on tone

It has a tin roof to discourage bees.
It stands on a workbench in a very busy (messy) shed scene - importantly you can zoom in to an old olive green filing cabinet on the left and see a fridge magnet featuring a Blakfulla flag and Nyoongar wrestler Neil "The Viper" Coyne
