The lower Murray is officially on life support
Irrigation and the signs of a slow death

"The lower Murray supports a wealth of native Australian fauna. But the development of weirs and barrages since the twentieth century to regulate the water level and divert water for irrigation have dramatically altered the flow of the river."

"This regulation has supported increased European settlement, trade, and agriculture along the river, setting the scene for the region as we know it today. Nowadays, inflow to the Lower Lakes is about half of what it once was prior to European settlement."

“However, river regulation has drastically altered the water flow and ecology of the lower Murray. The destruction of native vegetation, poor water quality and invasive species such as foxes and carp have also taken their toll. It is increasingly clear the lower Murray region is changing at a rapid rate, to a drier and warmer climate with less flow and more extreme droughts” >>

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen two hundred limping, exhausted men come out of line — the survivors of a regiment of one thousand that went forward forty-eight hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
Speech (1936-08-14), Chautauqua, New York

Large-scale mechanical thinning of biodiversity
Forests as machine-accessible landscapes

""Large-scale mechanical thinning operations are essentially a waste of money. At worst, they degrade forests, making them more flammable, eroding habitat, compromising water security and compacting soils."

Während die destruktive #Bundesregierung an der einen Stelle zur Räson gebracht wird, zündelt sie wie wahnsinnig am anderen Ende. Diese vom böse grinsenden Kapitalismus durchsetzte Demokratie zerstört schon länger fröhlich unseren Planeten und muss deshalb abgeschafft werden! Hört endlich auf, dieses perfide egoistische System zu unterstützen, denn es raubt uns die Luft zum Atmen!

The Last Days Of Pompeii, James Hamilton

Seems like maybe the last hours of Pompeii. The organization of this is so good. Love the dirty chaotic feel of it, but especially the column with statue, maybe a saint or philosopher or something, backlit by the explosion of the mountain.

#art #volcano #rising #impending #coming #erupting #humility #power #destruction #doom #closure #shutDown

we see some indications of an ancient city (Pompeii), with buildings of stone columns and arches and so on, through the smoke and falling debris from a volcano exploding above.  The bright light from the volcano frames a tall column with a statue on top.  At the bottom we see tiny figures running for their lives.

A brief history of humanity. Cartoon from 2024.

#war #peace #humans #destruction #reconstruction

Cartoon showing a giant peace symbol. One half of the peace symbol is being constructed by a crane lifting in big bricks and people painting the symbol white, while the other half is being destroyed by tanks, missiles and soldiers. A sign in front of the symbol shows a circle made out of arrows, the symbol for a cycle.

The painter of the universe, known as Life, just wanted to fulfill her reason for being, by creating a universe full of beautiful wonders and living things, but her twin brother, Death, exists solely to destroy her work, leading to an intractable argument about whose work should prevail.

@bookstodon

(Left) The Cover of Emergent Consequences, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

Life and Death lay asleep in a the grass, the way they lay slightly resembling the yin-yang symbol.  The tools of their trades are scattered around them.

Life is a woman with black hair, in a white robe.  Behind her are the paint brush and palette she paints the universe with.  She's rather short and has rosy cheeks.

Death is a skeleton in a black robe, which appears to be continually disintegrating at the hem line.  Behind him lay his scythe and scroll of names.

Between Life and Death is the hourglass that serves as the source of time for the entire universe, an item that's most commonly carried by Death, but which is part of the work of both of them.

The artwork is cartoonish, with some bushes and a tree that has one red piece of fruit dangling from it.  The scene is looked upon by the sun, which frowns at everything.

(Right) The background is an image of some green bacteria with the following quote over the top:

"I think I'll call it Ted."

"Ted?  You want to name micro-organism Ted?  Are you serious?"

"Yes, Ted."

"Alright, I just thought Bob would fit better."
