Need a fence? What you really need is a deadhedge.
It's a barrier made of dead branches stacked between two rows of posts. You feed it with branches, fallen limbs, and woody yard debris. Over a season it becomes denser than most commercial fencing. Over years, the bottom layers compost down and the top gets refilled with whatever you trim that week.
Wrens, robins, and ground-foraging birds nest in the structure. Hedgehogs, field mice, frogs, and toads shelter in the base. Solitary bees, ladybirds, and beetles overwinter in the cavities.
Germany has been planting deadhedges as wildlife corridors since the 1990s. The UK uses them for riverbank restoration.
A wood fence costs thousands of dollars and supports no wildlife. A deadhedge costs nothing, gets denser every year, and provides habitat for dozens of species you want in your yard anyway.
@ThinkinginGrey2@MalesOfReddit They've spent too long hearing about how everyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi that they've started to actually believe it.
@wil_da_beast630@SwipeWright This is a good point.
People always talk about the Black men falsely accused of rape, but no one ever mentions the accusations weren't false.
It's not at all unreasonable to think that many Black slaves probably had fantasies about white women.
@Rongwrong_@wesyang What's the test? How do you tell the difference? Obviously people claim trans identity for a multitude of reasons, some in good faith, some in bad faith.
The point is that with self-ID, there's no way to actually distinguish.
If you want self ID, then you have to give it to everyone. Being โtrue transโ isnโt a pretty prize, or a prize for removing body parts, or a prize for being nice or famous or clever. Self-ID is for everyone- scammers, the criminally insane, the unstable, murderers, rapistsโฆ
@MalesOfReddit He talks about "the love chemical release when looking at a child" as if that's all parenthood is. No conception of love as an act. Love is just the chemical released in your brain.
Really quite sad.
@Half_Eaten_Shoe@MalesOfReddit The first friends they ever really made were online trans people and then in every stage of their life they exclusively sought out people like that in real life.
They were probably also off-puttingly weird so normies never paid attention anyway
@AgentCucco @Jamie__Holleran @Severian_TC I don't care what the alt-right media says or covers. They're using intra-left division for their own purposes. Dissenting voices must make themselves heard within liberal spaces. Nothing good can come from using alt-right media to fight intra-left battles.
@Jamie__Holleran @Severian_TC@AgentCucco I 100% believe this and have said it for years.
Now when are the non-leftist trans people who are against self-ID actually going to speak out?
Such rank hypocrisy. Aldrich's father is a blatant bigot. But you trust him when he says his son isn't nonbinary?
Should we trust all parents who say that? Or just ones you personally find credible?
@PornPanic@JohnBoudet@SwipeWright@elonmusk If you truly believe in trans liberation, then you *must* respect Mx Aldrich's identity and pronouns.
The only alternative would be to establish an objective gatekeeping protocol to determine which identities are valid in which circumstances. I support that. Do you?
