A heartfelt message for the PM from Nelligen RFS (via jwwr on twitter)
Australian of the year.
The prime minister defunded the rural fire service by about a third before fire season.
He’s ignored climate change reports from as far back as 2007 that estimated 2020 would have the worst bushfire season we had ever seen.
He tried to force a rural firefighter volunteer to shake his hand, after being rejected he said “oh he must have just been tired.”
The man had just lost his house while trying to save others houses.
This is a tiny portion of a long list of things that the Australian prime minister has done to hinder the rural fire service which has cost human lives, the lives of 500 million animals, peoples houses and properties, people’s livelihoods and over 5 million hectares of land and everything on it.
Scott Morrison can get fucked.
Farmers in Indonesia introduce fish into their rice fields. The fish excrement acts as a fertilizer for the plants, while the plants attract insects and other pests, which serve as food for the fish. This process increases rice yield by up to 10%.
Bonsai apple tree growing a full-sized apple.
A perfect balance of extremely impressive and completely ridiculous.
Apple trees are DETERMINED. My parents planted a twig of an apple tree, and that first year it grew one apple. And the whole thing was bent over from the weight of it. It had one job and by God it was gonna do it.
she did such a good job I’m so proud
I can’t believe that wee little thing grew a whole apple as big as itself!
The pursuit of philosophy is founded on the belief that knowledge is good, even if what is known is painful.
