👀 Watch Aotearoa New Zealand MP Chlöe Swarbrick deliver the most formidably cogent summary of the 20th century economic order - and how it ruined everything.

Neonics and Sugar Beet: a thread. Yesterday our government announced it was granting an “emergency authorization” for sugar beet growers to use a banned neonicotinoid pesticide on their crops. Here are my thoughts:

A legend tells that when a willow tree heard a mother cat's distressed mewling, it reached its branches into the water to save her drowning kittens. In remembrance of this kindness, wherever their little paws touched its branches, catkins grow. #FairytaleTuesday #nature #folklore
