highlighting the imp pts:
Fundamental changes in the proposed bill:
a)Limits the scope & ambit of the original FCA (1980), removing crucial safeguards from a vast majority of India's #biodiverse rich #forests, thereby opens the floodgates for diversion for other uses

A while back I tried to get MidJourney to produce some nice Chinese Watercolour / Ink, Wall Scroll style paintings, in v3.
The original results were a bit wishy-washy as I was a noob...

But the results improved greatly with some reference images for the #AIart to grab onto. However it was still missing something to make it feel like the real thing... And that Red Crowned Crane🤢 ...

But recently @midjourney_ai made it possible to do 2:3 and 3:2 aspect ratios in v4, and I decided to re-visit the concept with v4.
It started out promising with almost exactly the same prompt and reference image. This time with a little --chaos added

1/ There are two broad approaches to deal with 'information overwhelm':
1. Manage the flow (but still consume it all!) - use shortcuts, tools & tricks, and triaged prioritisation
2. Close the tap - stop the information coming in at the source.
I think #2 is more critical.

You don't need to listen to every podcast/read every newsletter (esp. if you're trying to appear smart!) Attention is too precious to not enjoy the process of engaging with content.

3/ My goal is to have 2 lists: 'read' & 'don't read'.
There are thousands of non-fiction books out there, and everyone is convinced that the current book on their nightstand is a 'must-read'.
Whilst I take note of these recommendations, there is only so much time in the world.

The mesmerising driftwood sculptures of Japanese artist Nagato Iwasaki.
All of the figures are part of an interconnected work that Iwasaki calls simply ‘Torso’ and each have undergone a painstaking process of construction over the past 25 years.
“Gathering bits of wood from here and there, like an insect building a nest, I create sculptures” says the artist in one of his few interviews. Driftwood of just the right shape and size to mimic a human collarbone or the curve of a pelvis

During one of his travels, #Kalidasa felt very thirsty and looked around for water.
He saw a woman drawing water from a well.
He went up to her and asked her for water.
She agreed to give him water, but asked him, “Who are you? Introduce yourself.”

Now Kalidasa thought that an ordinary village woman was not worthy of knowing who Kalidasa was.
So he said, “I am a traveller.”
But his lady replied, “In this world there are only #2_travellers the Sun and the Moon. Both Rise and Set every day and keep travelling perpetually.

2/9 Madagascar harbors an exceptionally high diversity of endemic species, especially trees. Many of these species are restricted to the humid Northeast where smallholder vanilla agroforests shape the landscape and support local livelihoods
3/9 Tropical agroforestry has the potential to reconcile biodiversity conservation with production goals. However, agroforests differ in land-use history and this is often neglected in research and policy.

To achieve our ambition of a 2% increase in #tree canopy cover across #Cambridge, we need businesses & residents to plant #trees on privately owned land to accompany the 2,000 trees being planted on @camcitco public land.
Here's a thread of how to plant, the Cambridge way:

& I discuss a largely ignored narrative:of people seeking support for relocation.Historically,resettlements have been poorly recorded; there have been evictions from PAs that have led to penury, isolation, further impoverishment, which I strongly condemn.There is NO room 2/22
for forced,induced,unjust resettlement. However,it is troubling that resettlement discourse has ignored the narrative of people voluntarily seeking to move out of PAs where they face immense hardship due to lack of access to education,healthcare, markets,roads,jobs,business

Hey #YYJ #Victoria #Tree #Arborist peeps - can anyone id this conifer for me? It's in my neighbouring yard - home to generations of birdies: chickadees, nuthatches, downy woodpeckers, wrens.. and it's about to be demolished for new condo; and I'm heartbroken.
The new @CityOfVictoria #TreePreservation Bylaw calls for a fee of $2000/tree to fund the planting of a replacement tree elsewhere. (But has no provisions that I know of for wildlife protection)
