Society needs fighters and carers. And thinkers, listeners, translators, early-warning readers. People who slow the noise, connect the dots, and read the signs before the storm hits full force. Critical thinking is a form of care too. So is refusing to be numb.
Teeth. Hands. Minds.
Stop giving liars airtime.

We return to the great void,

Answer: Natural ecosystems such as rainforest, over 1,000s of years.
Conclusion: Sheep grazing uplands (for eg) is just mining the fertility built up by the very nature it killed off and continues to keep out, while giving NOTHING back.

Peace Board nods. Moral accounting achieved.
Nothing says justice like funding a Riviera
with someone else’s money,
for people who won’t be allowed to live there.
Truly inspiring.
Standing ovation. 🌴
Two million people in tents.
Sixty million tons of debris.
But good news!
A Peace Board is dreaming big: Riviera vibes, airport selfies, shiny towers by the sea.
Minor details pending:
who pays, who decides, who profits…and where the Palestinians fit into this exciting new vision.
