Hype for the Future 60/284: LGBTQIA+ Social Ekistics
Preamble novaTopFlex has, for many years, been taught that the friendships and other social connections of today have been understood as impossible per societal expectation. While the teachings were appropriate for the early years for sure, the ultimate reality is very different with the social life of novaTopFlex, with not one, nor two, but Three Identities. Introduction In the lesbian, gay, queer, trans, bi, queer/questioning, and aroace community, as well as otherwise non-normative […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/12/30/hype-for-the-future-60-284-lgbtqia-social-ekistics/

Pesticide spray drift from intensive horticulture on the the mid-north coast NSW -
Discontent in the region.Home owners, dairy and beef producers among those concerned about how pesticide use affects their land as well as water quality on the mid-north coast
“Between 2001 and 2016 blueberry farming expanded 400% – mainly around the Coffs Harbour region.”
“This monitoring showed the continued detection of pesticides in most waterways sampled, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring in the region.”
“Monitoring in the Nambucca valley by the EPA has detected three different pesticides in low levels in three creeks, suggesting water quality in the area is not being impacted by excessive amounts of pesticides.”

The Blueberries of Wrath on the mid-north coast of NSW
Bitter fruit: the dark underside of the booming NSW blueberry industry"Blueberry farms have become an increasingly common sight across the rolling hills of the NSW mid-north coast...The number of people in need of ... support points to a dark underbelly of exploitation in the blueberry industry that authorities appear incapable of dealing with...It’s semi-organised crime, that is how I would describe it.

Monetising the great koala national park
"The government estimates the park’s value as a tourism destination will generate an extra $163m for the state’s economy over two decades. The native logging division of NSW Forestry Corporation has run at a loss for several years...The Minns government on Sunday revealed the proposed outlines of the park, fulfilling its 2023 election commitment...A moratorium on logging within its boundaries begins on Monday."
End native forest logging across NSW. Recognise remnant flora and fauna in 'plantations'.
