This is ecocide.

And what’s with the ‘alleged’ removal of trees? Surely it’s clear they are gone.

Seems that Coillte knows who did it. We need consequences for crimes like this.

I rewatched 1987’s “Baby Boom” in the wake of Diane Keaton’s passing and a thing that’s so consistent when you watch even middlebrow stuff from the 80s and 90s is that it plays like a masterpiece compared to so much of what gets made today because the scripts and exiting are TIGHT

79 people have been imprisoned in Britain for acts of nonviolent resistance with Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action. Collectively, they have served more than 7,700 days — over 21 years — behind bars. 14 are still inside.

They remind us that truth-telling under tyranny carries a price.

I took your suggestions and sketched out a new pumpkin drawing, featuring a cat, a toad, and a couple bats!

I'll be painting it on my Twitch stream over the next few weeks: www.twitch.tv/vetrinanicol...

#Art #SciArt #Halloween #Cats #Frogs

Digital colored sketch of a cat and a toad with a pumpkin in front of a full moon. The cat is tortoiseshell-colored with green eyes and wearing a black witch hat. The toad is green with a tan chest, black spots, and green eyes, and is also wearing a black witch hat. The toad is sitting on a jack-o-lantern with a sinister face on it. The background is of a purple night sky with a large yellow full moon covering most of it. Two small bats fly in front of the moon.
