Sick of omnivores carrying on about live animals exports as if they suddenly cared about the murder of animals for human consumption? Feel that something is missing in the Ban Live Exports campaign? Then this is the group for you.


While I'm empathetic with the Ban Live Exports sentiment (because I also want live export to be stopped), I do not agree with it's intended outcome. An increase in the wholesale murder of animals in Australia for export as meat is unacceptable.


Ban all export of livestock, dead or alive, before or after becoming meat!


Tofu eaters of the world unite!


Thrill your friends and buy the mug.

Jesus has come
few were saved
even less noticed his presence

if you are reading this blog
then you were not saved
and have been left behind during the End of Days

prepare yourself for the End Times now
by stocking up on water
canned goods
and appropriate clothing

clinging to the hope that his light is shining

hoodwinked from a falling sugar loaf

the diplomacy of terror

Gatling rough riders,
Blackhawk sheriffs,
cross
ambivalent borders

beamed
to the situation room,
smiles and handshakes
after the firefight

because,
Mao's power
and America's justice
comes from the barrel of a gun

and
the lesson of gitmo is:
take
no 
prisoners

the space between notes

she hides beneath
black jeans
under
the white skirt
with carnation flowers
before youth is gone -
his three minute visits
to here
and to
the meat market

and the casual violence
of his chocking hazard

broke
with a cave with a view
and aliens in the wall

and the guns in the nest

atomic blonde


your father
before you were born



moments
before you were concieved


a bed of music

a nation at war
fighting for pin ups


a bouncing fling
a hot rod in the cockpit
a caper pulp

the land that clasped hers


warm
sweet intoxication


a jealousy


sprawled across her chest
found in gossip
a play of head
and startled eyes


she might fall in love

a little stiff
between two members

of the younger generation

The daily season creep: 26608 - 11311

11311 was the last post in the first series of the daily season creep.

I am blogged out. Haiku, haiga and pictures, I've shared a lot.

Some of you, especially Lorraine, have commented, leaving supportive notes, sharing your likes and dislikes. I thank you for following and for commenting.

Sometimes it's been a struggle to find something to publish. I can look back and see the quality err. I can see the sudden shifts, too, when a new idea has saved me from silence. At the moment, though, the cupboard is empty. I do not want to force myself, to publish the lame, to repeat myself, nor to reach back to really old stuff, because that's not where I am at the moment.

It's been a fun ride. I hope you have enjoyed it, too.

I will be back when I feel fresh and have useful something to add. I might also do some consolidation, making more postcards and what-nots from my image stock.

Please feel free to leave any eulogies for the daily season creep in the comments below.
