Guys. The cows were about how if people don't like you or don't want to listen to you, they'll decontextualise your actions and use them to discredit you in any situation. How doing one (1) memorable bad thing can be held against you forever. The cows are about looking a council of world leaders in the eyes, telling them we're all being robbed of our futures by megacorporations, showing them the receipts and numbers and photographic evidence, and being told none of your arguments matter actually because you're The Cow Guy.

The cows are about how people don't forgive, not really.

"In a major win for the traditional owners of Australia, the federal government has ordered the end of the land leasing program for the Jabiluka uranium deposit, ensuring that mining will never occur on the land owned by the Mirarr people.

At the same time, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his coalition added it to the nearby Kakadu National Park, a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site twice the size of Yellowstone.

Various parties to the disagreement over the destiny of Jabiluka described the decision as “a great day for the Mirarr people, for Kakadu, the Northern Territory, and for Australia,” “a genuine and welcome surprise,” and “a reminder of the extraordinary privilege all of us have, to share this continent with the world’s oldest continuous culture.”

The dispute over Jabiluka dates back to 1991, when traditional owners, environmental groups, peace activists, and others protested the granting of a lease for Jabiluka to Energy Resources Australia (ERA) majority-owned by the Australian mining giant Rio Tinto Group.

Located in the Northern Territories, activism by Indigenous owners like the Mirarr and Djot has forced successive administrations to defer or avoid the actual development of the potential mine. This included a road blockade in 1998 during which 500 people were arrested.

The Jabiluka Long-Term Care and Maintenance Agreement signed in February 2005 gave the traditional owners veto rights over the future development of Jabiluka.

Key details about the history of Jabiluka to understand are that the land has been under mining leases for over 30 years, but they’ve never been developed. ERA was not seeking to renew the 10-year lease to try and push forward with uranium mining, as they acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land have the ultimate say as per the 2005 agreement.

ERA stated they sought renewal of the lease in order to secure the asset should the traditional owners ever change their minds. Jabiluka is one of the world’s richest and most extensive uranium deposits ever located.

In 1991, PM Bob Hawke declined to exploit the mine’s riches, as did the Gillard Administration in 2013, but with Rio Tinto and ERA never forsaking the mine as a lost cause, and the Albanese government planning to move forward with nuclear power expansion, the Mirarr and others felt that another, hopefully final push was necessary.

As a result, the federal government provided recommendations to the state government of NT that the will of the people should be respected, and that the lease should not be renewed.

“[It] means there will never be mining at Jabiluka,” Mr. Albanese was quoted as saying last Saturday. “This beautiful part of Australia is home to some of the oldest rock art in the world, a reminder of the extraordinary privilege all of us have, to share this continent with the world’s oldest continuous culture.” ...

Officials from the NT government said the decision was made based on the recommendations from the Coalition government in Sydney, saying that Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King advised that the most important position to respect was that of the Mirarr."

Why Wealthy People Often Drive Cheaper Cars—And Why You Should Consider It Too

The Secret to Wealth: Why Simplicity Often Drives Success When we think about wealthy people, luxurious cars are often part of the image. However, some of the wealthiest individuals don’t drive extravagant vehicles. In fact, they often prefer practical, inexpensive cars. Why is that? And why might it be a smart choice for you as well? Let’s dive into this fascinating topic that could…

Reminder from a man wearing a lot of mascara today. Your protest of transphobia is simply your existence. Trans joy is protest.

You don't have to be like everybody else

You don't have to fit into the norm

You are not here to conform

I am here to take a look inside myself

Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm

I am not my body, not my mind or my brain

Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA

I am the observer, I'm a witness of life

I live in the space between the stars and the sky

Read a post by @transfemme-shelterdog (tagging you because I believe it impolite to mention someone in a post and not tag them) about how t4t is just as risky as dating any cis person these days due to transandrophobia and I agree but I did want to talk about something (and didn’t want to derail the post so I made my own):

T4T has never been safe for intersex folk.

Safe for perisex trans folk, maybe. But not us. Especially intersex trans folk. (Because yes. Intersex people can be cishet. The fact that some of you do not understand this is concerning.)

We are consistently subjected to discrimination, scrutinisation, dismissal, harassment, sanitisation, fetishisation, romanticisation, glorification, objectification, dehumanisation, sexual harassment, interrogation, and straight up erasure regularly from a community that is supposed to be safe for us.

Even trans people who are generally well-meaning have said some of the most intersexist shit in the most casual way to me.

And it’s kind of heartbreaking. We’re supposed to be siblings. Yall are supposed to uplift us, protect us, listen to us, help us the same way we’ve been doing for you for years.

But I have never felt safer with a trans person than a cis person, platonically, romantically or sexually.

I have always been viscerally aware of my otherness and of the many implicit and explicit biases people hold against me for the way that I am.

We’ve never been safe in this community. Even though we have desperately wanted to be.

Food for thought, I hope.
