Every morning a giant pile of cat poop in the garden, half buried. I need a big, hungry rock python out there. If it doesn’t catch the cats in the act, it might at least keep them away at night.

I remember as a kid people lining their backyard gardens with rubber snakes to keep perpetrators out. I’m half tempted to try it.

Cucumbers on the floor seem to scare the shit out of cats. I’ve seen the videos. Funny as hell.

i collect branches with thorns and put them over the seeded field
so the cats dont crawl in to dig -they dont like it -later i keep the soil wet and mulch with dirty sheep wool or straw
cats dont like that

@spinneria

I like the straw idea. But I also have a slug problem, and they would probably hide in the straw, then eat my plants easier. 😝

in reply to wedge

i catch them every day also in the early evening when they come out - under their hiding places they dont like dirty sheep wool so i place such around the seedlings
dirty sheepwoll you get by asking around by sheepholders -they throw it even away -and its goiod dung also -and can later in compost
in reply to wedge

dry sawdust around the plants also helps
and beer traps -a pot with beer in the ground they crawl in get drunk and find not out



A powerful weapon in Iran's hands: the Straits of #Hormuz and an oil nightmare that could bring the entire West to its knees.

#Iran has threatened in the past to close the Straits, but has not carried out that threat
But if the murderous zionazi strikes continue, perhaps the nightmare will become reality.
Where will oil prices go if the #US does not stop its #zionist puppets?

Surely at this stage it will be the tombstone of all western economies based on the dollar.

🇹🇼🇺🇦 Taiwan is studying Ukraine to confront China without US help, - The Economist.

▪️The island realizes that without America’s involvement, no other country will defend them. Taiwan’s previous doctrine was to maintain its defenses for a month while the US mobilizes troops.
▪️But now the example of the years-long war in Ukraine is forcing the island to prepare for a crisis that will last much longer than a month, including a naval blockade.

„Egyptian authorities on Friday detained or deported more foreign nationals seeking to join a pro-Palestinian march to Gaza.

Hundreds of international activists arrived in Egypt this week for the Global March to Gaza, an initiative aimed at pressuring Israel to end its blockade of the enclave.“

#ChrisHedges | The Folly of A War With Iran

"Israel and its neocon allies believe they can eradicate Iran’s nuclear enrichment program by force and decapitate the Iranian government to install a client regime. That this non-reality-based belief system failed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya, eludes them.

Israel, at the same time, wants to divert world attention from its genocide and mass starvation in Gaza and the accelerated ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Internet connection has been completely shut down in Gaza. The West Bank has been placed under a total blockade."

„Israel said on June 13 that it carried out strikes in Iran, a day before talks between the Islamic Republic & the US about Tehran’s escalating uranium enrichment programme (…).
This marks the latest #escalation since the war in Gaza began in 2023 & heightens fears of an all-out war between the two countries, whose history of #enmity spans decades of clandestine conflicts & includes land, sea, air & cyber attacks.“

If the situation with Iran escalates to war, I wonder how many on Fedi will adopt a sudden anti-Iran mentality.

Partly because of US imperialism, Iran has close ties with Russia, China and North Korea.

I wonder if we will be seeing sudden frenzied criticism of Iran, like with Russia, that positions the US as the good guys, and seemingly shows disregard for the actual genocide being committed by the US and its client state Israel.

It feels to me like the strongest propaganda trick is the dehumanising 'mad man' campaign, that shows non-Western leaders as crazy and unpredictable. Part of the effectiveness of that is racism.

So while you criticise the West, these non-Western leaders must be feared more because it is they who will supposedly let things get out of hand, not the aggressors in the West.

It does seem to be a thing with how people think of non-Western countries - they have mad man in charge.

Meanwhile the US has Trump and Israel has Netanyahu, and somehow they don't count because we live in a democracy or something.
