  1. "It has been more than a century since bilbies, bandicoots and burrowing bettongs roamed freely across outback New South Wales."

    "Their local extinction here and throughout most of Australia’s mainland was due to cats, foxes and rabbits."

    "Killer cats - The biggest threat to introduced species is feral cats, which kill more than a billion Australian native animals a year. We’ve got the worst extinction record of any country in the world...The combination of cats, foxes and too many rabbits basically obliterated many of these species from this landscape."

    “All these skills sound like things they should innately know how to do, but they didn’t evolve with cats and cats have different hunting strategies.There’s a whole range of feral-free safe havens across Australia, but there are only a few places where there’s this work going on trying to expose native animals to feral predators and to train them."
    And while Reece acknowledges Australia will never be rid of feral predators, their goal is a landscape where natives can survive their threat." >>

  3. 'k so

    there are still mutliple bikes left here, I just grabbed two and left with them, leaving behind a couple I would've been willing to try to restore given more space than I have:

    Obviously, contact OP for details, but the sitch is it's a hoarder house where the hoarder sadly had a stroke and now needs assisted living.

    THERE IS LESS RUST THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT. I mean, there's a good deal of rust? But less than you'd expect given everything. The deck they were under must've been solid.

    I only saw one aluminium frame in the remaining bikes, I'd've taken it but it's it's for Big Riders, like, 6' and that wasn't happening for me.

  10. Rest is not a luxury; it’s how you remember who you are.

    Some weeks take more out of us than we realize.

    Today is the pause that restores perspective, steadies the heart, and reminds us of what truly matters.

    This is just a reminder to take time to slow down, pause, and simply rest.

  11. This article from the March 2024 issue of #DownEastMagazine has a lot of background behind the Maine Settlement Act. A must read!!!

    What Would #TribalSovereignty Mean for the #Wabanaki?

    For more than 40 years, the tribes in Maine have had to play by different rules than other indigenous groups across the country, and they have suffered in tangible ways as a result. Now, a push for greater tribal autonomy has come to a head

    "18th-century treaties were never intended to deed away land. Like many American #Indigenous groups, the #Wabanaki viewed stewardship as a communal undertaking — they didn’t share European conceptions of private land ownership. Unattuned to this foreign mindset, the Wabanaki signed treaties assuming the documents outlined land use, not ownership."

    "The #HoultonBandOfMaliseets’ administrative headquarters, built to resemble a log cabin, sits on a small tract of tribal land in Aroostook County, just north of where I-95 intersects the Canadian border. A few steps away, the #MeduxnekeagRiver roars past, the sound of rushing water a reminder of the harm done by 19th-century log drives, when clearing the river of obstacles turned the flow fast and shallow. A decade ago, the Maliseets took it upon themselves to start a #restoration project, partnering with federal and state agencies and nonprofit groups to add boulders and bends to the Meduxnekeag. To date, they have covered a four-mile stretch, recreating conditions that will cool and oxygenate the water, in order to help insects, birds, and fish thrive. The work requires patience. So does much else. The river is hardly the only historical damage tribal leaders around the state have been attempting to repair.

    "One of the four remaining Wabanaki tribes whose forebears arrived in Maine more than 10,000 years ago, the Maliseets inhabited an area now split between the United States and Canada long before the existence of an international border. Chief #ClarissaSabattis, who wears her heather-brown hair in two long, thick braids that drape over her shoulders, was elected to lead the #Maliseets in #Maine in 2017. Since then, she says, she has struggled daily with the complex legal relationships the tribes have with the state government, dictated by the 1980 #MaineIndianClaimsSettlementAct.

    "The terms of the settlement were the result of a decade of legal wrangling (and centuries of fraught dealings before that) that resulted in the state wielding unprecedented power over tribal affairs. The tribes have come to find the arrangement both burdensome and unjust. 'Our tribal council is our governing body,' Sabattis said when I met her at the Maliseet administrative offices. 'We should have full authority to make the laws and serve our people without interference from other governments.'

    "Several years ago, the Maliseets, Mi’kmaq, #Passamaquoddy, and #PenobscotNation banded together and formed #WabanakiAlliance to collectively push for #TribalSovereignty. Most of the country’s 570 other federally recognized tribes are sovereign, which in the context of tribal affairs implies a sort of quasi-independence: through a direct nation-to-nation relationship with the federal government, indigenous groups can run their own communities. They administer their law enforcement, courts, schools, health care, and civil infrastructure on their reserved lands with federal assistance and funding — and, unlike in Maine, can do so without state-level interference. Sovereignty also means that if the tribes believe the state has violated their federally protected rights, they have recourse both through federal agencies and courts. It’s a system under which tribes across the nation have begun to flourish in recent decades."
