#batemansbay — Public Fediverse posts

A new bird! This channel-billed cuckoo was making a bit of noise, giving me plenty of time to get my camera. At first I thought the other other bird in the shot (the black one) was chasing it away, but I think it might be the cuckolded "parent", freaking out that its "baby" had fledged and left the nest.

Land Back on the far south coast of NSW

"Heritage-listed property Plumwood Mountain has been officially handed back to the Walbunja people of the far south NSW coast. More than 250 years later, in a first for NSW, the Walbunja people have been handed back a 120-hectare heritage-listed private property at Monga, owned by the estate of the late environmental activist, academic and philosopher Val Plumwood."

Political activism and intellectual critique
Philosopher and ecofeminist Val Plumwood was " against the "hyperseparation" of humans from the rest of nature and what she called the "standpoint of mastery"; a reason/nature dualism in which the natural world—including women, indigenous people, and non-humans—is subordinated." ( Wikipedia)

Val Plumwood became well known after she explored the Alligator River floodplain of Kakadu/Gagudju on a flimsy canoe and experienced being from a "standpoint of mastery" to "Being Prey" (1996).>
