It is great isnt it. Start with a site devastated by earthworks then plant bird attracting natives, lose a few, top up then, having a quite coffee, a Blue Banded Bee brandishes it's appreciation, a Superb Fairy Wren, any # Wattebirds, Crimsons, Rainbows, Jacky Dragons, Blue Tongues, Scrub Wrens...

Thread of before & after garden pics ~2016 & 2026, decade on this beautiful bushland property in the highlands of central Victoria.
Majority are Australian natives & drought tolerant, many failures before success, I kept trying.
Haven't watered now for 6+yrs😎💜

Scans of brains with, PTSD, Depression, anxiety and without showing clear differences in functioning.
Can’t stop crying, not grieving.
Nothing brings joy, not sad.
Struggle with basics, feel shame.
Share experiences, many think it’s like being down, unsolicited, ignorant advice ensues.
Psychiatric illnesses, brain function altered, but many label us, negative, lazy & selfish.
2/ More comparative scans
Psychiatric illnesses affect the organ that controls, all other organs, decisions, emotions, thoughts...
People battle them for decades while many don't 'believe' they exist, so those afflicted try to hide them, not seek or receive deserved support & medical treatment💜
3/ More needs to done for severe, lifelong, psychiatric conditions.
More funding for research, better diagnosis, treatments, cures, support etc
These life altering & shortening, medical illnesses that need proven medical interventions, like all other serious illnesses.
If the US starts a war with China, the US bases here — plus the ports they use, the airports, the supply terminals, the oil storage, the Marines barracks, the B-52 bomber base, the listening hubs, the spy bases, — will all be at risk.
Why on earth have we allowed this it happen here?
An edited version of the XKCD comic #2347 titled "Dependencies" It shows a large stack of irregularly sized blocked stacked on one another. They are labelled "The Global Economy" In the lower right there is a single small block that is clearly supporting the entire tower above it. It is labelled "A Very Narrow Strip Of Water Between Iran And Gulf States"
With apologies to XKCD (xkcd.com/2347/)

from the other site, @TLAVagabond
"a good number of US troops have been saying they won't fight Iran for Israel. Then reports of the Trump admin literally tricking soldiers into fighting this war by telling them it was just a training mission, only to find out they lied."
Great analysis. Eric Reinhart, political anthropologist. psychiatrist & psychoanalyst

Just lovely.
A 'fiend' gave me some tea roses. As they dropped petals, I've collected them so I can continue to enjoy the scent.
It is great having flowers inside too.
A forever memory with that purchase!

But only if he gets a silent robot mower.
When BNE experimented with DS 50 years ago, the idiots ruined the extra hour after work by getting the mower out and shattering the peace and relaxation potential.

And longer lasting next generation improvements and vigour.
Great idea in fact!
Pretty clear measure of just how arrogantly self-assured the premier has become, that he happily drops this mid-conversation like it's business as usual

Yes, there's a plan for fuel crisis. The Govt spent $150k trying to stop @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social FOI to get it. Here it is - published with link to worse case

Plaudits to you Epstein Allies on regime change in Iran. They have replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with ... Ayatollah Khamenei!

"Eight Hour Day"
(In non-unionised workforces, it is mostly pie in the sky)
Markets are reacting now that it’s clear this war is no flash in the pan and that as each day passes, it’s clear the Administration has no fucking clue what it is doing.

The finger pointing between the two main aggressors in the Middle East reminds me of Laurel and Hardy -
" That's another fine mess
you've got me into! "
On this International Women’s Day, we remain vigilant about what we must protect.
And we remain determined about accomplishing the work ahead.
Make no mistake: the AI boom, and data center construction it requires, is nothing more than a massive giveaway to Big Tech oligarchs at the expense of our environment and our states’ public resources.
Our leaders should put communities before Big Tech's bottom lines.

There are some great Spanish/hispanic original storylines. Last night saw “In therapy” which was powerful and unexpected. Also “Show Yourself”, a series, is a delight.
