PRESS RELEASE – Police murder protestor in Atlanta Forest

Atlanta Community Press Collective

January 18, 2023

Submitted to the Atlanta Community Press Collective for publication.

Today the police shot and killed a protester in Weelaunee Forest.

Dozens of heavily armed DeKalb Police, Atlanta Police and Georgia State police shut down Weelaunee People’s Park and nearby streets before entering the tree line with guns drawn and heavy machinery poised to continue forest destruction.

Police have repeatedly raided this public park, flattened community gardens and art installations, attacked protestors with chemical weapons and rubber bullets, and threatened lethal force. During past raids, police have consistently escalated violent tactics on peaceful people who were sitting in trees or walking through the public park. Since June 6, 2022, activists and community members fighting to Defend the Atlanta Forest and Stop Cop City have been demanding that officers stop bringing weapons into the forest after APD pointed their weapons at peaceful protestors.

The police and local news are working together to control the flow of information, leaving us with vague news reports that suggest the officer fired at the civilian in self-defense. We know they will say and do anything to prevent an Atlanta officer from being viewed as another Derek Chauvin, including witholding, distorting, or deleting evidence. Supporters of the movement are calling on legal observers and journalists to document the violent police tactics being used against protestors.

Since the fatal shooting, this morning’s operation has continued with Brasfield and Gorrie’s heavy machinery entering the forest and cops shooting pepper balls at people who remain in the park–as if nothing has happened. The loss of our lives remains meaningless to the police. Police killed a forest defender for loving this earth, for taking a stand against the ongoing destruction of the planet and its people. Indiscriminate police murder, unfettered police violence is exactly why people have, for two years, called for the Cop City project to be cancelled immediately. As politicians invest in cops, militarization and police budgets are only increasing. Meanwhile, police murders peaked in 2022: U.S. cops killed 100 people every month.

What is taking place is a classic example of tyrannical government overreach. The public has a right to defend its interests. We are advocates of a free and peaceful society built on cooperation and mutual understanding. The government is escalating this situation pointlessly.

Allow peace to return to our community.

Cancel the Cop City project. Return Intrenchment Creek Park to the public.

Drop the charges against protesters.

No one can bring our friend back to us. An innocent life has been taken and the machines continue.

If you are in Atlanta, come to the candlelight vigil tonight, January 18th, at 6pm at the intersection of Moreland and Euclid.

Wherever you are, we invite you to come to Atlanta Friday, January 20 for a second candlelight vigil at 6pm to remember and grieve our lost friend. We will not go quietly into this dark night. RIP, with love and solidarity.

The Importance of Tree Guards: Protecting Your Trees and Your Community

Trees are an essential part of any community, providing shade, beauty, and a host of environmental benefits. They also require care and protection to thrive, especially in urban areas where they are exposed to a range of threats. One of the most effective ways to safeguard your trees and your community is to install tree guards. Tree guards are protective barriers that surround the base of trees, shielding them from damage caused by human activity, animals, and harsh weather conditions. They also help to prevent soil compaction and erosion, which can have a negative impact on tree health.

In this article, we'll explore the importance of tree guards, and how they can help you protect your trees and preserve the natural beauty of your community. Whether you're a homeowner, a community leader, or a business owner, understanding the benefits of tree guards is essential for maintaining a healthy and thriving urban environment.

What are tree guards?

Tree guards are enclosures that protect the base of trees from various kinds of damage. They are typically constructed from materials such as metal, plastic, or wood, and are designed to prevent soil compaction and erosion, as well as damage caused by animals, vehicles, and pedestrians. Tree guards are essential for ensuring the long-term health of trees in urban environments, where they are exposed to a range of threats.

Tree guards come in a range of shapes and sizes, and can be custom designed to fit the specific needs of your trees. They can be constructed from a range of materials, including recycled materials, natural materials such as wood or bamboo, or more durable materials such as metal or plastic. Some tree guards are designed to be decorative, adding an aesthetic element to your landscape, whilst others are purely functional in design.

Installing tree guards can be a simple and effective way to protect your trees and improve their overall health. By preventing soil compaction and erosion, tree guards help to ensure that your trees have access to the nutrients and water they need to thrive. They also protect the base of your trees from damage caused by animals, vehicles, and pedestrians, which can cause long-term damage to your trees.

Why are tree guards important?

Trees are an important part of any community, providing a range of environmental, social, and economic benefits. They help to improve air quality, reduce noise pollution, and provide shade and beauty to urban areas. Trees also help to reduce the urban heat island effect, which can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of urban residents.

However, trees in urban areas are exposed to a range of threats, including soil compaction, erosion, and damage caused by human activity, animals, and harsh weather conditions. Tree guards are an effective way to protect your trees from these threats and ensure their long-term health.

Tree guards help to prevent soil compaction and erosion by creating a barrier between the soil and the surrounding environment. This helps to ensure that your trees have access to the nutrients and water they need to thrive, and prevents long-term damage to the soil structure.

Tree guards also protect the base of your trees from damage caused by animals, vehicles, and pedestrians. This is especially important in urban areas, where trees are often located in high traffic areas and are exposed to a range of threats.

Benefits of using tree guards

Using tree guards has a range of benefits for both your trees and your community. Here are some of the key benefits:

Protects your trees from damage Tree guards are an effective way to protect your trees from damage caused by human activity, animals, and harsh weather conditions. By creating a protective barrier around the base of your trees, tree guards help to prevent soil compaction and erosion, and protect your trees from damage caused by vehicles and pedestrians.

Improves tree health Tree guards help to improve the health of your trees by preventing soil compaction and erosion. By creating a barrier between the soil and the surrounding environment, tree guards help to ensure that your trees have access to the nutrients and water they need to thrive.

Enhances the aesthetic appeal of your landscape Tree guards can add an aesthetic element to your landscape, particularly if they are designed to be decorative. By choosing a tree guard that complements your landscape design, you can enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your landscape.

Helps to reduce maintenance costs By protecting your trees from damage, tree guards can help to reduce the maintenance costs associated with tree care. This can include the cost of tree removal, pruning, and other maintenance tasks.

Contributes to a healthier community Trees provide a range of environmental benefits, including improving air quality, reducing noise pollution, and reducing the urban heat island effect. By protecting your trees with tree guards, you can help to contribute to a healthier and more sustainable community.

Conclusion Trees are an essential part of any community, providing a range of environmental, social, and economic benefits. However, trees in urban areas are exposed to a range of threats, including soil compaction, erosion, and damage caused by human activity, animals, and harsh weather conditions. Tree guards are an effective way to protect your trees from these threats and ensure their long-term health.

There are a range of tree guards available on the market, each with its own unique benefits and drawbacks. Choosing the right tree guard for your trees depends on a range of factors, including the size and location of your trees, the level of foot traffic in the area, and your budget.

Using tree guards has a range of benefits for both your trees and your community, including improving tree health, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your landscape, and contributing to a healthier and more sustainable community. By understanding the importance of tree guards and following best practices for installation and maintenance, you can help to protect your trees and preserve the natural beauty of your community for years to come.

Another worl building sheet for Gris and Fauve's story, this time focused on Fauve's origins !

So Fauve is as it was shown previously not human, or at least no totally. She's actually mixed with humans and spirits.

When the disasters happened, the spirits (who were only believed to be from legends and stories) appareared physically to protect the world and the environment.

Fauve's tribe, her ancestors who survived this catastrophy, developped a strong bond with the spirits. Together they became guardians to protect nature.

The spirits gave to Fauve's ancestors the ability to turn into spirit forms too, which gave them some visible changes on their human bodies as well. They were no longer humans anymore but a new kind.

Every spirit is different. The spirit forms doesn't appear from the start, Fauve never turned into her spirit form for example. (the one I drew isn't hers, it's just a beast I liked to draw as an example-)

They all live in a huuge tree (no they don't drink tea there :]]] )

Welcome, non-plant beings, my creatures of night and nonsense, my dear audience, to this weird and wonderous collection of mine.

I promise you won't be told a story with an answer, with some "here's how I fixed my life & the journey it took to get there" I promise that there won't be a "hope to get better" which makes now feel so stark in contrast. I promise I wont make it seem simple or linear or a sudden "aha moment" to make things suddenly seem clear.

What I promise is a story, to the best of my ability, where there are no weeds to pull. no seeds to plant, no fruits to pick. The garden will grow and die, change & cycle back to the beginning. And through it all, in this moment with the dappled sun reflecting off the dew, the weeds in a thick blanket, forgotten fruit as a feast for the birds - we are wild and it is beautiful, no matter how much they want a cultivated, perfectly trimmed and oh-so-stale-garden.

TL;DR - I'm currently in a Link Click hyperfixation, and I my main WIP is the Land of the Fallen Fairies. I also have a biology fanfiction and a teddy bear nightmare warrior story on the side. And I like being asked about character analysis, whether that be my own characters or any character from this list + characters from LInk Click

Name's Noor/Noorie btw. Closeted genderfluid and aspec (queer platonic/split attraction model... or whatever this is). Pronouns are they/them, it/its and anything fancy.

🖊 Dorito?

‘Enigmas of Paldea, File #11 Iron Hunter: An AI Went Rogue?!

This peculiar creature's name comes from an invention in the enigmatic Violet Book.

Theorised to be the result of a research project attempting to revive the extinct Hisuian Decidueye, using what information remained of it, and Alolan Decidueye as a base. However, something went horribly wrong, and it began attacking everything in sight.

In addition to its heartless nature, the cannons on its wings and its powerful legs make it a dangerous foe. Eyewitnesses report that it will not give up on its prey until it has succeeded in eliminating them.’

Dorito is the specific Iron Hunter referenced in this Violet book entry! Its original purpose was to observe and preserve Pokémon habitats, but due to an error in its coding, it sees all living beings as a threat to be dealt with.

However, upon arriving in the present, Dorito sustained major damage, both internal and external, meaning it is far less of a threat now! (Maybe even, the internal damage will fix some of its buggy systems, causing it to be less hostile… only time will tell!)

Had a really strong thunderstorm move through just a little bit ago

The power had been out for almost two hours now

And worst of all:

Major damage was done to our willow tree that I’m pretty sure is host to a colony of Good Neighbors

It’s already sick and now it’s broken
