Anyone know any good papers or books that explore the ecological history of Wales? Particularly if they relate to sheep or trees.

The only political lesson I want my daughter to learn from him is when he’s in The Hague where he belongs

Amazing how often middle class people will make the argument Huber makes. Perhaps their ventriloquising of the working class just serves their own political ends after all? Perhaps they are the reactionary ones and not 'the working class' they claim to speak for.

Huge swathes of working class people have been supporting the right for decades. We're not witnessing a shift here. If anything we're witnessing a significant shift towards a more rational apathy towards political parties that offer nothing of substance.

Another morbid symptom of a corporate food regime that prioritises cheapened food and the profits of a handful of companies over that of a healthy functioning system

I hate these assholes so much. People who are undergoing genocide are allowed to have respite. They are quite literally camping out there b/c it’s currently not being bombed. It is where they receive aid. It is where they bathe b/c they’ve been cut off from water + electricity.

Men will make jokes about this on here for the remainder of the night and it’s quite tiring as a woman when the overall statistics in England & Wales found that 85,000 women experience rape, attempted rape or sexual assault every year. 1 in 4 women you know in their adult lives.

'After six months of military assault, more than 5,479 students, 261 teachers and 95 university professors have been killed in Gaza, and over 7,819 students and 756 teachers have been injured'

And still nothing from my university Lancaster University

When we say this battle is for universal liberation, we are neither exaggerating nor being dramatic—this fight determines the kind of world you and your children will live in.

It’s antisemitic for mainstream media to pretend that pro-Palestine protests don’t include Jewish people. It’s antisemitic to present Jewish people as a monolith supporting a genocidal settler colonial state. It’s antisemitic to disregard anti-zionist Jewish perspectives.

Evil

“Antisemitism”

More than 300 bodies found in a mass grave at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, including children executed with their hands tied behind their backs.

Children. Executed. With their hands tied.

We are witnessing a genocide, and the International Criminal Court is nowhere to be found.

This was exactly how Gething was during his reign as health minister at the beginning of the pandemic. So much arrogance and contempt for people, and he seems to think everyone is below him.

We in the West Bank are basically awaiting the slaughter to reach us while resistance is systematically undermined by the occupation and the PA as its enforcer arm. The idea that this violence was ever going to be limited to Gaza or the refugee camps here is a sore misjudgment.

The Columbia student activists are NOT targeting Jewish students FFS. THEY ARE ALSO JEWISH STUDENTS. The White House lies and lies and lies, here putting non-violent students futures, health and lives at risk. The biggest megaphone in the USA just called them violent antisemites.

Also: Pre and post Covid, disabled and immunocompromised students have asked for these kinds of accommodations & have been told they’re not possible and that they’re being irrational. But when it comes to protecting Zionism and colonialism, these accommodations are ok!

Some thoughts on the contradiction of the entrepreneurial peasant and what it means for agroecology.

Through some reflections on the work of Van der Ploeg.

A beautiful thing Mike Davis often does in his historical accounts, like the one I’m reading rn in Late Victorian Holocausts, is something like Benjamin’s assertion of the need to recover what has been left to the sides. Davis reminds us that the atrocities of the past were +
