Dunno if youse are across this... but it's forecast that in Sydney on Wednesday the temp will be 38C. (100 F)

It's OCTOBER! That's FIFTEEN DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE!

Our Government and fossil fuel companies are determined to cook us alive! Boil the oceans. Kill our forests. Turn habitat to ash.🥺😩
Went to see the new solar farm in Gladstone today, as part of the Women of the World Festival. It was fascinating, and lovely company too! 🙌

Working on climate change is skipping like a stone over sentences like "A new study analysing 49 years of data from 20 sites indicated carbon is being emitted because trees are dying and decaying faster than they can be replaced." every day while people with power do everything to make it worse.

Comrades, I’m inclined to tell you a story from my organizing days. In 2018, I was one of hundred of union organizers who had the privilege to assist with a nine-day, statewide, unauthorized teachers’ strike to save their schools from a critical staffing shortage. Buckle up, it’s a good one. 1/x
Always such a nice time of year when my Grandma’s caladium comes back to life! Last week they were still just thinking about it!
