white christmas white friday: no big savings honesty, but cold showers may?!

If you haven’t bought greenYgrey yet, there’s been no better time… or worse! Here’s a few Facebook general environmental/political thoughts that have nothing to do with XaW Files: Beyond Humanity, the book I think you should buy this Christmas, to give the gift of greenYgrey!

Winter Cold/Hot Showers

When I started taking cold showers for the environment (energy and water use) two springs ago I’d turn the shower on twice, as I turned it off while I soaped.

I thought that was using up energy, so now I use cold water from the tap, via an old big plastic milk carton, to wet; then soap; and then turn the shower on to rinse: with hot water now in winter!

I think it’s also making me healthier and stronger (internally and mentally), in line with the Wim Hof method (no link or contact to me!), who’s furthered medical knowledge of humanity by experimenting on himself.

Vegan/Vegetarian

A vegan only cancels out themselves. If they bring one meat-eater into the country they cancel out their ‘good’. 2 meat-eaters and they cause twice as much meat-eating as a meat-eater who doesn’t support mass immigration! And so it goes up, 3, 5, 10, 100, 1000…

If I give up on green environmentalism it’ll be giving up on humanity and the planet, rather than what I think is right and good; if animals are just going to die by plastic/climate_change, then they might as well be eaten!

I’m still ‘just’ a vegetarian. Many have become vegans since I started, and many have stopped; many ‘influencers’, ‘writers’ and ‘journalists’ rewarded with big financial paydays for their brief soirees into non-meat eating! I salute the vegans who’ve stuck at it.

While ‘trendy vegans’ may have done animals a little good in their much publicised time, they’ve probably done more harm than good overall, as people will think the whole movement is ‘fake’ or ‘unhealthy’.

Especially if they’re flying around everywhere, and supporting open borders immigration!

Immigration and Environmental Destruction

There’s no good and evil about immigration, as some like to claim about those who want to restrict it; just different ways to look at a world that is massively overpopulated; and that is probably suffering environmental destruction and mass extinction because of it.

I consider myself indigenous to Britain and an environmentalist. In other countries those two go together, but in the UK and Europe they are usually on different sides of politics, with those who consider themselves ‘indigenous’ considered ‘nationalistic’ and ‘right-wing’, while environmentalists are usually on the left.

I know the ‘indigenous’ I’m referring to are usually in the minority, but ‘white Britons/Europeans’ are projected to be a minority in the near future… and especially if the left/Greens get their way and open up the borders!

We’re having a White Christmas Friday Charity Match at the greenYgrey, I’ve already given much more to charity than earned through royalties (or articles etc pay), but any sales of XaW Files until Christmas will be fully matched with extra charity donations, added to my regular ones to Guide Dogs, Dogs Trust and British Legion. I’m also a lifetime member of the Woodland Trust, offsetting book paper!

New Poetry and Philosophy: Healthy Sun, Prediction and Prophecy

While I could write poetry and philosophy all day, I lack the inspiration due to lack of interest/commercial success; being in the middle of the Establishment/Liberal Establishment – Right/Left divide; despite being a doctor of philosophy and I think being right about most things over the last twenty years!

My mind escaped for a while last night and this morning to write these on Facebook:

Poetry Snippets

Poetry is so easy to write
when its kept nice and light
but digging deep can strain
risking fracking up the brain.

Feel whole again
now sun’s back in me,
filling up cracks with
cement called vitamin D

sleep, coffee, sun
brain’s idea of fun
three merge to one:
all 4 poem stimulation!

Philosophical Thought

Difference between prediction and prophecy:
I called my main fantasy football team last August:
‘A Season Too VAR’. (VAR : Video Assisted Referee was introduced, and I thought it’d be controversial and a big talking point; wordplaying the WW2 movie A Bridge Too Far; and me thinking of retiring from it)
If I’d called it ‘A Season Too Corona’, that’d be prophecy: as VAR was known to me, but not coronavirus! (the season has been on hold since March).

If you liked the above, my last poetry collection is full of similar, and many much more detailed and lengthy; when I still thought I could inspire my demographic and make a difference for humanity; alas, they are now steamrolling into greater calalmity; but if there is a God, it dealt humanity an almost impossible hand; unless it can totally control itself as a global species, which looks beyond it!:

 

 

Sun Returns to Arctic Circle: Welcome to mistYmuse 2020!

Tromso, a Norwegian Arctic Circle municipality I visited for midsummer in 2007, can see the sun again, having enjoyed only the first week of mistYmuse (Most Ideal Sunrise Times – Midwinter Until Spring Equinox) 2019. The Arctic Circle was facing away from the sun so much, Tromso could not see the sun (no ‘sunrise’) between November 27th and January 15th.

Although our planet spins around on its axis (making the ‘time of day’) the tilt stays the same; north to south; so our planet orbits the sun like a human partly elevated on a bed circling something. As shown in this seasons image:

As our planet orbits in the solar system, our axis tilt is now returning the north to facing the sun, reaching parity of light with the south at the spring (north) / autumn (south) equinox: this year on March 20th.

 

Victoria’s Secret Show Naughty Poem

The annual Victoria’s Secret’s show was like eating a beautiful cake, knowing there’s a lot of bad ingredients, but some things are worth the cost. That probably doesn’t count for the planet, but there’s so much else that is destroying it, that it is just one little beautiful human island in an ocean of overpopulation and consumption that nobody’s really doing much about on a scale that will prevent anything as far as most scientists have been predicting for decades.

Risking My Reputation for Beautiful Blondes 

Congratulations to the blondes who’ve survived the Multicultural Fascist with-hunt! If in line with Darwin’s theory of evolution of the strongest surviving, then only the most beautiful blondes would have made it to the catwalk.

As probably the leading doctor of philosophy expert in beautiful blondes, working diligently for five years to attain the award; openly out of the Victoria’s Secret lingerie closet anyway! (a joke I made about coming out of the closet years ago!!); I don’t think Darwin’s theory was disproved.

I am now also the first lesbiman (creating that word out of what was before lesbian man). That doesn’t mean I want to wear Victoria’s Secret lingerie, but does mean I’d like to be invited to one of their pyjama parties! Not expecting though!!!

This is a fitting remembrance Sunday poem according to the democratic tradition, as they say the wars were fought for these freedoms, as I saw somebody say on the news this morning that the attack on the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris had inspired more appreciation in France since then.

Human Beauty Secret Guilty, Distraction from Njörðr Horror

slim female blondes
are my gods
in human form
sun of storm
shining light
worth the fight

to live on, our dying planet

watch it corrode
destruction code
waves carry waste
fishy bad taste
we kill life
plastic pollution knife

Njörðr is/was a Norse sea god.

Njörd's_desire_of_the_Sea

I wrote this during the Remembrance Sunday commemorations. It’s what my muse directed me to write, without planning. I still remembered the brave war dead, but don’t think I can ever better my previous poem posted on this site: The Whistle Cried Heavy.

The only correction I made to the whole post was changing the penultimate line of the poem from ‘you kill life’ to ‘we kill life’, taking responsibility for what I do, knowing I’m far from perfect!

Flight to Oz Poem Published in Tips 89

Hi, it’s Andy Wolfhol. Greenygrey was delighted to see that Grey’s Flight to Oz poem, which lifts off its epic ramble across Oz in the now published Werewolf of Oz has been published in Tips 89, which is available from Wendy Webb at the Tips for Writers blog. Etips is a free version of the magazine.

Planet in Crisis

There was a worrying report from WWF today. It suggests:

  1. Wildlife numbers have fallen 30% over the last forty years.
  2. Tropical species have fallen 60%.
  3. Humanity’s ecological footprint is 50% over the planet’s capacity.

We first read it via Yahoo-Sky, and it is also available on the WWF site.

Valentine Poem about Venus and Jupiter over the Moon

Marc Latham’s latest Folding Mirror poem mixes up Valentine week with news from the One Minute Astronomer newsletter that Venus and Jupiter are getting very close this month, and will also have the moon near them at certain times. The photo above, copied from the One Minute Astronomer site,  shows what it should look like. Here’s the poem:
Valentine Night Sky
Venus sings love songs
on a winter residency
starting after sundown
dazzling through the night
visage allure attracts valentine
planet travelling across sky
toward the enchantress
over a horizon moon
Jupiter serenades my star
