A difficult read, heart-breaking, so frustrating. And #Israel is perhaps the only country in the world where such violence continues with impunity. Come on, US, UK, EU. Where will you be when the history of the #Palestine #Genocide is finally told in full? There's no doubt where public opinion is.
Beautiful writing which breaks your heart

Amazing #lichens from New Zealand
This #lichen display on my crab apple tree. The yellow (top left) like hot eyes. On the tree (middle-ish) spreading blue/green tentacles branched sinewy. Blown-out apothecia on laminal. Underneath, covering branch, a crusty rash of pink/light blue apothecia w white thaline rim #FungiFriends

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

This #lichen featured in previous two posts Corticolous Ruffled lobes Black hair-like cilia and Soralia on margins Brown underside Dark rhizines visible closer to centre underside Think this type might be used as flavour in some Indian dishes Yum If only I could trust my identification #FungiFriends

This seems to me a well-balanced read on political #violence in #America today. It's also quite a warning to all the rest of us.

The meagre amount of food dropped from the sky does not reach the hungry, but it does cover up global complicity.
