And their decline across these levels shows us of that ecosystem health decline too.

It's ok I moved them from the soil just so they wouldn't get cut into by a spade 🙏🏽 the existence of pollinators across different realms (undergrowth, plant surfaces, air, etc.) Is such a good indicator of a system enriched across multiple levels...

Imagine adjusting the entire structure of your body by burying yourself in the skin of ancestors and the broken down bodies of plants...Rose Chafer beetle larvae from the community garden last week. Shows soil health, and grows to become a pollinator of such beauty...

Has been subjected to processing and colonialist practices of environmental and "conservation" work for CENTURIES...is the future of the land in the UK that it becomes simply an extension of its own toxic processes...even now we are subjected to the DIRECT fumes of the empires engine...what does

I was just talking to someone yesterday about how I love beaches in the UK that are quite obviously part of the natural coastline and not a transplanted sand castle with transplanted ecologies and organisms.

But this is something even more....is this a closer look at the future of an island that

We told you this, stop platforming them and you won't be disappointed when they ALWAYS fall.

Add in chomskys high place in the US education system and deeply theoretical passages on freedom and class politics, and you have a perfect breeding ground for corruption and lack of understanding of anything truly liberation.

It denies us the opportunity to actually engage with anti western, anti imperialism bc it still engages fully with white leftist men with no accountability structure in place.

socialism and communism without the nuance of non western perspective, to address the individuality of folks affected by a deeply psycopathic (spiritual) creed of upper class, who delegate oppression based on wildly emotional and wildly identity based politics and behaviours.

intersectional identities that often are mostly affecting women and most prominently racialised women are the sources for structures that develop anything affected by class and capitalism.

Black Marxism by Cedrick Robinson (and many more) picks up on the failure of white marxism,

Patriarchy isn't tackled bc it's thought to have disappeared "naturally" as the discourse around communism, Marxism and socialism speeds ahead, bc surely this liberation ideology is more important right now, than fluffy "identity politics".

They forget that the identities, cultures and

This is very common aspect of leftist men spaces btw, there's a dismissal of the nuances of mysogeny, in favour of a linear understanding of class and the need for efficiency of "action".

Especially if the space is majority white leftist men.

Noam chomsky is in the epstein files. Immediately, "how could this happen", "oh my god I'm so disappointed", "we don't get anything", "heartbroken".

Really?? Why was this white man on such a high pedestal in apparently "liberational" spaces.

At most it will carry the toxins of older systems and coat them in the sugar of liberal language. 

You know who you are. And we do too you guys are awful at hiding it.

Because it NEEDS those to fuel itself because it is highly pleasure centred in its violence.

And then you call for a matriarchy.

What does that even mean??? If nothing else is decentred there can be no matriarchy??? There will be no true destruction of patriarchy.

This enables patriarchy. It grows unchecked. You solicit this through the society that is built on these standards. Then this patriarchy - that relies on the hierarchy that itself relies on your complicity - breeds abuse, peadophilia, domination and exploitation.

You enable patriarchy to go unchecked because you go "I hate men" or "I hate patriarchy" but the priveleges you have within the system aren't used to dismantle it, you use them + embody them - in the way you speak, the way you make space, the way you construct movements and the way you organise.

People calling for matriarchies but can't even decentre patriarchy, heteronormative standards of body, beauty and identity, listen to black + brown trans people, centre disabled folks / needs or even seek to understand struggles that make you uncomfortable or break down your individualised comfort.

Impact the same as last week’s for these twenty-one families: your support has supported hospital care, pharmacy costs, housing, nutrition, winter clothes, and other survival needs.

Pretty simple. Keep it going, and hit "weekly" to sustain it:

My boldness ensures I can develop a morality and reality around my yearning to connect with insects and humans on levels I have only ever experienced because I have been bold.

Be bold and be sure that you will attract joy aswell as pain, because whilst liberal softness pretends to promise a kind reality, radical boldness promises you will feel again.

Hope is Material. And it is grown underground. Where have I travelled in search of duty, whilst I hold a hopelessness that should never be allowed to touch that duty. What can the bug, the soil and the act of aid teach us of this duty and holding.

Material hope.

I wrote it in response to an accusation. Of myself. By myself. Of hopelessness. Which I reckon with as we all do, because truly hopelessness is allowed. But it should sit beside action and aid, not disrupt and affect those things.

I am grateful mine has had both, even now as I learn to breathe in this ocean depth, I am seeing corals the likes of which I have never even comprehended.

We are told often of what to flinch at and what to clench and tense up for, but not at all often what to open our arms for, or what to expect as joyful penance for taking such a dive into such deep unknowns.

Not from surrounding voices you've learnt to hear anyhow. Every frequency and rhythm is so suddenly alien.

No one told me how grateful I would be to proceed in a fever of such immense pain. I wouldn't have believed them if they had told me.

When you dissappear from the plane of family, fortune and root that held you previous, and you grow in a different direction altogether...there's an aura of silence around you. No one tells you what to look towards. There is no pushing or pulling.

Oh YES it's here thank you Anarchist Gardeners Club 🙏🏽🪲🧡 can't wait to get stuck in and mix this with my own "destroy the system uplift all bug kind and the othered folks of humanity" ways....

and it'll be my first official piece on there, so hope y'all have a read anyway 🐛🦋🪲
