Anyway I hope you are now fully radicalised #antiLawn and ready to re-wild your bit of planet.

It is easy to feel there's nothing we can do to help our Earth, but even a small lawn can be a huge ecosystem, from the viewpoint of tiny bug or butterfly.

Here's a few more #antiLawn memes, if you're into that sort of thing.

I'm overwhelmed and grateful by the response my silly thread is having.

Of course there's lots that I don't know, I just put together a few memes!

But if you want to go deeper I can recommend reading the book Food Not Lawns.
It is freely available here (email registration required, I think) :

Thank you all!

Oh and of course, if you're craving more, go join https://www.reddit.com/r/fucklawns

Need some joy. Show me your un groomed, wild and flowery ex lawns, gardens and bushes.

Found this #noLawn video on TikTok and wanted to share with all of my #antiLawn friends.
This dude knows where it's at. 🌿🌸🌻🌱

Remember we have more seeds than they have lawns.

Fight on the side of nature.

Here's an idea for the #antiLawn crew.
#SeedBombing is a fun activity that everyone can do, it helps our ecosystems, and is just plain good fun.

Restore a bit of life in your nearest dead green lawn, resurrect that empty lot nearby.

It's easy and almost impossible to trace back to anyone, just saying.

Now that autumn is getting on its way, it's good to remember that leaves enrich the ground and provide shelter for lifeforms that are good for the health of the soil and the ecosystem.

Leave the leaves.

There's so many reasons to love urban trees.
Green your city!

Boycott #Eurovision. 🍉

Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Meanwhile in Latin American news, #Petro has expelled Argentinean diplomats because #Milei called him a terrorist and a murderer.

Feels weird to be on the side of a Colombian president, but Milei is honestly bananas. Petro was a guerrilla fighter but not a murderer. And he worked for a peace agreement.

While far from perfect and with plenty of flaws, he's sincerely committed to his ideals (opposite to Milei's).

I mean #Petro is not only Colombia's first left wing president *ever*, he's frequently dropping truth bombs on the world stage, clearly opposing the genocide carried out by Israel.

He's recently invited countries to cut relationships with Israel if they don't abide by the ceasefire mandated by the recent security council resolution.

This was unthinkable from a Colombian leader just 3 years ago. We had always been a US client state, much as it pains me to accept it.

The world changed.

On the biggest news of the day, Little One has succeeded in ditching the training wheels on their bike.

There's no stopping them now.

Which is why we do need work on improving braking skills.

You can tune in to the student radio from #ColumbiaUniversity and listen to their live reporting on the student protests and occupation in solidarity with Palestine.

@CrisOdioDoBem @sfwrtr @thanius @yuki2501 landlords provide housing like scalpers provide tickets.

They don't.
They are unnecessary parasites and should not exist.

Here's a cartoon about landlords.

I'm never going to not be angry at the fact that we've collectively accepted that it's fine to infect kids repeatedly with a virus that causes, among many other issues, brain damage and immune problems.

We could have at least given them clean air.

It's absolutely despicable, villainous behaviour for which some of them will suffer for the rest of their lives.
All so the money keeps flowing to the rich.

Unforgiveable.

In case you needed some reassurance that wearing a N95 or better respirator made a considerable difference in the risk of infection by #COVID19 .

You are doing the right thing, keep wearing your N95 respirator.
