Thinking about religious emotional affiliation and the question what images, sounds, prayers, mantras, songs will eventually come up on one's deathbed (all those things we learned as a kid? or something else we found more comforting and healthier as adults?) I'm thinking of Leonard Cohen with his Zen Buddhist phase, and somehow his return to biblical language ("Hineni, hineni!" in his song "You Want It Darker").

Foetid Bloat Drone, tripod conversion.

I wanted to create a unique version of the drone model.
As Nurgle is all about 3's and I really like tripods, it was a natural thing to do.

I wasn't happy with the photos I originally took, so have just taken all new photos to see if there is an improvement.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Santayana

What religion a man shall have is a historical accident, quite as much as what language he shall speak. In the rare circumstances where a choice is possible, he may, with some difficulty, make an exchange; but even then he is only adopting a new convention which may be more agreeable to his personal temper but which is essentially as arbitrary as the old.

George Santayana (1863-1952) Spanish-American poet and philosopher [Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruíz de Santayana y Borrás]
The Life of Reason, vol. 3 “Reason in Religion,” ch. 1 (1905)

Documentation of the systematic destruction of Tuckers Nob forests

"Presentation for Friends of Tuckers Nob on the history and significance of Tuckers Nob State Forest and why it must be included in the NSW Government's proposed 'Great' Koala National Park. Based on a recent preliminary report submitted to government, showing the original forest and koala sightings, with a list of moratorium areas (including Tuckers). All the most recent developments, bringing the viewer up to date. This is why we need a #GreaterKoalaPark, with no logging."

The video has a link to the report containing the results (maps) of the investigations by Dr Tim Cadman and local community-based citizen scientists:
