A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. -King Baldwin IV (from the movie Kingdom of Heaven)
Whether you believe in a God or not, the principle remains sound. Those who claim that they're "just following orders" while committing these heinous acts cannot hide behind that as an excuse.
No amnesty, no compromise, no quarter!

"Political correctness is America’s newest form of intolerance, and it is especially pernicious because it comes disguised as tolerance. It presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people’s language with strict codes and rigid rules. I’m not sure that’s the way to fight discrimination. I’m not sure silencing people or forcing them to alter their speech is the best method for solving problems that go much deeper than speech.”

“I don’t like ass kissers, flag wavers, or team players. I like people who buck the system. Individualists. I often warn people: Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you: ‘There is no I in team.’ What you should tell them is: ‘Maybe not. But there is an I in independence, individuality, and integrity.'”

#wisewords from #spongecat
Let this year be a year of both #purge and #growth
Purge the negativity, the unnecessary, the toxic and the things that drain your #energy
#Grow the #positive, the #important, the #healing and the things that #boost and #recharge you.
It's not an easy #process but it's a process that applies to the #people you allow to share your #time and #space. While it may hurt to step away from some and to set #boundaries with others, in the long run it will make a huge difference to the rate at which you #improve your life.
In the words of my #bestie, "we only get one ride on this merry-go-round, make the most of it".
Don't waste time doing things you detest just to please others. Grow yourself and #build your #tribe.

To be honest I can't argue with that. The last 5 yrs alone have been a major downhill spiral. All the more reason to #exit the system and #build our own.
Find your #tribe, find the #good people, the #loyal ones who have your back and make doubly sure that you've got theirs.

#it's the #weekend for this #perthstr up early to tend to the #garden before the sun gets fierce. Here in #Australia we out #aloevera on sunburn. My conundrum is, what do we put on aloe vera if it gets sunburn? 🤔🤣
Just kidding, I've been away for a week and the sprinklers didn't kick in and the sun has been a bit savage these last few days.
Hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start, have a #coffee, do something #productive and do something for #yourself - even better if they're one and the same thing 😀 👍

Time for a #fun #poll!
It doesn't matter what part of the world you're in, everyone town or city seems to have that one spot you just don't go to unless you really have to. #share the #dodgy part of your town or city in the comments below and let's see who can invoke that "oh wow that really IS a dodgy area" response 🤣🤣🤣
#Perth has a few of these spots but #Armadale seems to be the overall winner inspiring nicknames like armahole, armyaself, armajail, armahell etc...

The way governments respond to individuals helping people voluntarily should tell you that they aren't there for your well being.
The actions of almost all governments worldwide since 2020 should tell you that they are your enemy and they do mean you harm.
You own yourself - govern yourself!

Am I ok with thousands of unelected bureaucrats whose jobs depend on my hard earned money being stolen getting thrown out on their arses?
You fuckin bet I am!

Their "authority" isn't real. All they have is threats of violence and then violence. Having the bigger gun doesn't make you right and blanket mandates with no regard for individual circumstances is criminal no matter how you try to justify it.
Now do I hate or fear those who took it? No! I saw how many were sent to the wall and coerced and had no option. I feel for those people.
The ones I detest are the ones who after seeing all the harm, all the failures, all the lives destroyed either by reactions or consequences of unconstitutional and unethical mandates, are STILL pushing for more mandates and more tyranny. Whether they be politicians, bureaucrats or individuals who have been glued to the TV for too long.
Guys if there's anything to be learnt from all this it's this: government is not your friend, people who disagree with you are not your enemy, everyone is different and don't judge until you've looked at every side of a situation.
Above all, be excellent to each other!
Stay free and stay healthy everyone 💪✊️👍

Let's talk ground cover.
Got a nice garden with things spaced out nicely but you're forever battling weeds?
Nature abhors a vacuum so if you don't fill a space, the weeds will gladly fill it for you.
One of the best ground covers I know of is sweet potato. With edible leaves that are great in salads and tubers that roast up beautifully, it's a great looking yet functional ground cover. Best thing is, it's dead easy to grow.

The local council has a waste disposal scheme they call FoGo (food organics and garden organics) - the idea is all the organic stuff goes in a separate bin, gets collected by a diesel truck, gets processed and composted by diesel machinery then if you want mulch or compost, you can pay them to deliver it to you in another diesel truck.
Trust bureaucrats to make it overly complicated and costly 🙄🤦♂️
I've eliminated the need for the FoGo bin by composting all the organic waste right here in my own yard. I know not everyone can do this or has the inclination to do it but it's just another case of bureaucrats dreaming up costly programs they claim is good for the environment but is it really that good when there's so much machinery involved?

Tearing up this section of lawn has served more than one purpose. For work I've been on a project that generated a lot of cardboard packaging waste - rather than paying disposal fees, why not put it to better use?
I've dug down about 300mm deep, put the grass I tore out at the bottom and covered it with cardboard, this can all break down and enrich the soil while forming a bit if a barrier to stop the grass growing back through.
I'm using nothing but hand tools so this is going to take a while, I'll keep posting updates as I go. This is probably the biggest patch I've ever done on this block but don't be afraid to give it a go at your own place.
Bill Mollison said "growing your own food is an act of sedition". I think we need more and more sedition everywhere 👍
