Arrival immanent
A deer died last night, or maybe this morning.
A sudden flash, a final strike, crippling life, fleeing from sight.
It carried its death to my door, quiet as a summer wind. Laying at the feet of it's killer. Draped in a shroud of apple blooms and wayward seeds.

Yeah, they do. Especially when the end is unprecedented climate collapse.
Is what they're doing here effective? Not in the least.
Would I prefer more effective methods? Yes.
But awareness is still crucial.
I wrote about how we can transform the Earth into a delicious garden paradise while sucking down enough carbon to get us back to pre-industrial CO2 levels
Blue words in my biography will take you to the essay

How about you stop asking for Bible thumpers in Saskatchewan and your friends at Irving for money for your campaign, instead of aiding people in need?
We will remember

The lord notes those who stand behind hate, and those who open their hearts to love.
For those celebrating this, I'd start praying if I were you
As a friendly tip of course

@exiliaex
The failure to outright disavow something like this is worrying.
You understand that right?
We're in a time where facism is being allowed to crawl back from the gutter. Strong disavowal is needed.
I always thought the whole “ancient aliens” theory was so lame when it came to how ancient wonders and structures were made, and that learning how they were actually made was a lot more interesting
Memories of Aaron Bushnell
Aaron Bushnell was an anarchist. His action at the Israeli embassy stemmed from his deeply held convictions.
This text includes Aaron’s own summary of his politics, followed by accounts from three of Aaron’s close friends.

"Oh thats such a childish point of view"
This is a telling argument for many reasons.
Firstly, it speaks to the fact that you remember a point in your life when you did think or at least feel this way and what im saying is tapping into that.
@KillJoy21313737
You raise a valid point.
I try to avoid promoting AI "art" blindly, but rather as a way to reorient discussions on what the images depict in more mature directions, rather than on the images themselves
With that said, I'll try to be more careful and critical in the future!
If you're interested in the intersection of ecology, social politics, and technology check out my website and substack! Over there I have DIY guides, short

I just learned that black locust—one of the most useful trees out there—glows in the dark under black light
I’m going to do such dumb stuff with this information

An online service tracker shows outages in the GTA, Ottawa, Montreal and in southern B.C.

It's a useful concept depending on the ecosystems one is trying to steward.
Some ecosystems have been so damaged and destroyed. That species once considered "invasive" have now taken over the niches left behind by other native species.
"Invasive" for us, is context dependent.
Decolonizing the land on campus by identifying invasive species, and creating a food forest. Here is a brochure on this research created by a student who worked with me, carried out the plant identification and documented Anishnaabe names and uses of plants.

Reading this great new book by Predrag Slijepcevic BIOCIVILISATIONS, who I had the pleasure of meeting in person last week - bacteria, moulds, fungi also make cities and civilisations too! Making a throwback to my days as in bacteria + symbiosis scientist - the book’s out in May!
A nonbinary teen was beaten in a bathroom. They died the next day.
Now, Pierre Poilievre has pledged to ban trans women from women’s bathrooms in Canada.
It’s unclear how he plans to police this.
What’s more clear, with some digging, is where these ideas could be coming from.
I wrote about this very topic. The radical left—both socialist & anarchist—gets “mutual aid” wrong in my opinion: it must be **internally** oriented. Being a participant in a movement should make your life easier, not harder
My biography contains the blue words w/ the essay
I’ve always hated modernist landscape architecture for ecological & aesthetic reasons, but now that I know it’s made out of giant styrofoam blocks, I am calling for this profession to be totally destroyed & rebuilt from scratch
There is nothing redeemable about this garbage
Aaron Bushnell was an anarchist, a much loved friend to many, and heavily involved in mutual aid and solidarity work in San Antonio, TX. May his memory be a blessing, and a reminder to never stop struggling for total liberation. Free Palestine!
Building houses that are born on life support is a losing proposition
A house made from natural materials like straw bales & cob, utilizing low tech climate control like passive solar, rocket mass heaters, wind catchers, & earth air tunnels is the way
#OtD
8 Aug 1845 UK Parliament passed an enclosure act taking away public land and appointing officials who could enclose more land without approval from MPs – one of 5,000 such acts passed. This dispossession created the working class
This is deeply disturbing.
In this clip, you can hear Diagolon’s Jeremy Mackenzie joking about committing sexual assault against Anaida Poilievre, who is Pierre Poilievre’s wife.
I hope she’s okay. No one should ever have to hear themselves spoken about like this.
Finally quit my job today
Let me tell you, three years of hard labour almost killed this Cryptid.
But I'm still standing and now...I'm transitioning towards new and better things 🏳️⚧️😉

Yes. Which is why we say:
Solidarity with the protesters
But we disagree with the methodology.
There are more fruitful activities they could be engaging in.
These feel like fighting words. "King David and Lady Sarah" have created a new "Kingdom of CANADA" group with it's own new flag, run by them--and this new "Kingdom of CANADA" does NOT include Romana Didulo
