Dan Heng, you don’t owe the Xianzhou fucking ANYTHING. This goddamn alliance has done nothing but bring you and your people pain for ages upon ages, they have oppressed and mistreated you and manipulated you into thinking you deserved to be punished for the actions of a dead man when you FUCKING DON’T. YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE MOTHERFUCKERS.

THE XIANZHOU ARE ROTTEN TO THE CORE. They foster an environment of superiority toward “Outsiders” and even toward their own people they mistreat the people they consider lesser. They abuse and distrust and create and environment where the disabled are ostracized, left to fend for themselves, are threatened with losing their jobs, and don’t even provide accessibility aids for people they RESPECT AND HONOR IN HIGH RANKING POSITIONS. DAN SHU DOESN’T HAVE A CANE. WHY DOESNT SHE HAVE A CANE.

The Xianzhou essentially threatened the Vidyadhara or something to push them into the Luofu to seal away their mistake and you DON’T NEED TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS THAT T H E Y IMPOSED ON YOU. For FUCKS sake they DON’T EVEN TREAT THE CURRENT MASTER OF MEDICINE, A VIDYADHARA, WITH A N Y RESPECT AND LOCK HER THE FUCK UP.

THEY banished YOU when you were a CHILD and YOU STILL THINK THEY DESERVE FUCKING ANYTHING god to the shitting fuck damn it i hate this shitty ass boat i want to get OFF OF IT

In a statement to The Post, a spokesperson for NBCUniversal claimed the tree work is simply an annual ritual at this time of year. “We understand that the safety tree trimming of the Ficus trees we did on Barham Blvd. has created unintended challenges for demonstrators, that was not our intention. In partnership with licensed arborists, we have pruned these trees annually at this time of year to ensure that the canopies are light ahead of the high wind season,” they wrote. “We support the WGA and SAG’s right to demonstrate and are working to provide some shade coverage. We continue to openly communicate with the labor leaders on-site to work together during this time.”

If those trees were pollarded annually, the cut areas would NOT look like that. There would be big knobs of old growth at the trimming sites. Not seeing any of that here. The way those trees were topped (not pollarded, which is a very careful process that has to begin when the tree is immature) is excellent way to kill them due to loss of hydration, open sites to infection and parasitism during the best time of year for both, lack of nutrition due to so little greenery and new budding growth being left, sunburn and other exposure damage, and a myriad of other possibilities. Plus, if they were topped annually, they would not have the lovely drooping branches seen in the other picture but would have tons of vertical suckers instead.

This is what an annually pollarded mature tree should look like:

If this was done by the city, the public works arborists should be protesting in front of city hall and screaming their heads off right now. I’m not hearing about that, so… Tree law!

Update and confirmation of Imminent Tree Law:

He mentions later in the thread that not only do they not trim the trees annually, they’re trimmed at best once every 18 years. Supposed to be every five, and only in dormancy, which even my layman’s ass knows about tree trimming.

And yes, Universal can probably eat the fine. But it’s gonna be a whopper even if the trees survive (which is as mentioned kinda unlikely), California is a triple damage state for tree law, and it may increase dramatically if there were nesting birds in the trees.

All this to be a Captain Planet filler villain to some writers. And yes, it’s currently just the writers officially picketing there; SAG-AFTRA recommended against it for petty bullshit like this and the suddenly necessary sidewalk construction.

I asked my dad— a retired arborist—about TREE LAW and he just kinda blinked and said (i paraphrase because Dad Tangents, amirite?):

“Worst and best case I ever saw was a guy who was caught in the act of cutting down a C&C tree by two Department of Urban Forestry supervisors while they were randomly driving around on a Saturday. Not only did he have to deal with the cops showing up and months of paperwork and bureaucracy, but he also had to pay the fines AND cover the cost of the tree removal + stumping + buying a new tree + planting the new tree + wages for the regular crew plus the extra workers they needed to get the jobs done. That tree ended up costing him upwards of $35K, and that was over 20 years ago.”

So yeah, respect Tree Law or pay out the bootyhole.
