Blame the Boomers. We do.

Blame the people who thought flares and wide lapels were good.

Blame the folk who thought 8 cylinder cars were good.

Blame the most privileged generation who still scream about how badly done by they were.

A crop circle I made at Prawle Point in Devon. I was fascinated with crop circles in the 90’s, but didn’t start making them until 2013. I started to incorporate them into rituals to shed the accumulation of grief I felt as an undertaker. The first chapter of “What Remains..” recounts this practice.

Imagine writing a set of children's books that gained a worldwide cult following but was so outrageously hateful that you cannot utter the words Harry potter without thinking bigotted terf.

As a librarian it's been interesting in watching children pivot away from HP

Especially considering the current generations are the most trans friendly generation.

Second most are their parents.

You can thank Gen X who taught their kids that homophobia and racism is bullshit.

Each of my children have an initial in their name. Only the immediate family knows what the initial stands for.

Best ID verification ever.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Perhaps you folk are throwing tantrums because you are bigots.

Singapore has a similar situation in the US.
US has actual military bases everywhere.

Dr Andreas Krieg on X: "🇺🇸🇶🇦 More details on the Qatar Air Force facility in Idaho: It is basically a training facility (modelled on the one Singapore already has there for ten years) for Qatari pilots who train on F-15s that Qatar bought in a massive $12 billion deal in 2017 with a view to extend it https://t.co/lIKH72uem3" / X

This Christian priest was asked "If the mosques in Gaza are all bombed who will issue the call to prayer?" He replied "If the mosques in Gaza are all bombed and there's no muezzin in Gaza, I will raise the call to prayer at the appropriate time for my Muslim brothers as an honour to them." #SaveGaza

#MythologyMonday
Cadair Idris is one of Wales' most beautiful and storied peaks. Legend says that a night upon its slopes may grant the gift of 'Awen', or divine poetic inspiration. But it comes also with a risk: some who sleep there will wake not as poets, but as madmen!

Fairfax posting pics of every Israeli released hostage - while released Palestinians aren’t allowed to speak to the press - is very lopsided coverage

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

This is how you deal with the shit-spruikers.

There is no "balance" to lies and disinformation.

Just have the balls to shut their shit down!
