We are many, you are few. We are Bristol, who are you!

Home from the #antifascist counter-rally in #Bristol centre. Great turn out and speakers. So proud of this city. We easily outnumbered and out-rallied the pathetic #fascist turn out of barely a dozen.

Due to a prior commitment, I left before the aggravation started. I don't expect ASC covered themselves in glory.

I’m loving this small, concise book. Small and mighty it is. Packed with scholarship.

The struggle is the same for over 400 years. On one hand, we downstairs-ers have survived and built some cool stuff. On the other hand, how much of it is just a bigger, faster funnel of our blood, sweat, and life to the upstairs-ers? Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Oppose UKIP - Black Bloc 🏴 - 11:30am, Saturday 17th May - The Cenotaph, Bristol City Centre 📍

UKIP's leader Nick Tenconi, has called a protest in Bristol to demand "mass deportations" of migrants and asylum seekers. We will not allow this to happen unopposed.

Bring food and water, wear black and a mask - it protects others as well as yourself. Don't talk to cops, and look out for your mates.

🌺If you are looking for something positive you can do right now for the #environment (that is also #antiFascist), because #ClimateChange and land use (habitat loss) are two sides of the same coin, find a 'Friends of _____' group and start to learn about #RestorationEcology. It's hard to see and interact with climate, but its very possible to develop relationships with the landscape, no matter where we live.🌱

🌲Restoration is a lovely, impactful way to build community around local natural spaces. The idea is to create and support (diverse) refuge areas that are resistant to human pressures. Patches of wilderness that can serve as a bridge between larger conservancies. Imagine a pit stop for #bees, #plants, #fungi, and #birds. Urban or rural. No matter how small. There are many approaches and no right one. It combines seamlessly with #NatureEducation and appreciation. Search for conservancies, natural areas, land trusts, state, county, or city parks. It doesnt have to be swanky: it can be the drainage way behind your neighborhood (the more local, the better).🪻

🌳There are also many many different roles to get involved in that can make it #accessible! Nature education and land use planning are severely under-utilized areas, as is citizen wildlife monitoring. You can grow plants for restoration in your garden or in your window. (Responsibly) collect native seed from areas of abundance and scatter it in bare places. If you dont know where to start, just learning plant names and their relationships is hugely rewarding, because you will start to see patterns in the landscape that will allow you to interpret and share with others (*chills*). 🌼

🌾I know people are stretched really thin right now, but #nature is so restorative and #EcologicalRestoration connects me to my neighbors. It provides an easy platform for broader community organizing, which seems relevant right now. We aren't separate from nature: we are a part of it. It always gives back more than we put in 🪷
