Botanical Field Notes on Bureaucratic Weeds

Sucking up the syrup

The key to understanding the BBs and their germination patterns across fluorescent farmlands of Australia

An invasive species of carnivorous plant has been peppering the public sector.

In bureaucratic habitats — your obedience will be idolised while your talent gets sidelined. Naturally, the simp species have been there a while. They’re blossom bloomed, actually.

These limp but aggressive climbers rely on reward the more they stretch toward the sunlight. Yes, it’s juicy that grapefruit.

And yes, grapefruity is one way to describe them. Particularly overripe. They lack the nutrients to thrive outside so they cradle in Compliance Compost (CC) and Performative Pots (PP).

Sucking up the slogans. Sucking up reality. Sucking up entire rooms of personality.

Whether they’re suckling the syrup, nestling in the nectar or juicy for the grapefruit — it all comes from the clout factory. There’s a fountain of the stuff in every haunted bureaucracy.
