Just a woman living in Australia doomscrolling through the climate crisis, misogyny and the plague while trying to appreciate beauty and humour and raise well adjusted offspring. Also I like novels and I'm heaps traumatised.

But a wealth tax is nowhere near enough. All of their wealth must be redistributed and they must all face a Nuremberg.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms
you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

NEW REPORT: Market Forces has identified 200 companies with the biggest coal, oil and gas expansion plans globally — aka the Fossil Fuel Expansion Index, or FFX 200.
These companies are actively driving more extreme #climate disasters. And your super fund probably invests in them.

Coal worker Zac at #RisingTide on urgent transition 👉🏼 “We need to be prepared for it. At the heart of the fears of these people in the industry, that I spend almost every day with, is that their communities will be uprooted, that their livelihoods will be lost.”

Mina Bui Jones is a resident of the Hunter Valley region that is overly reliant on the boom and bust of coal prices. She was arrested this afternoon with #RisingTide, demanding a 78% tax on coal exports to help fund a just transition away from the dangerous fossil fuel economy 💚

The fossil fuel industry will not stop burning the planet until we make them. Sending love and solidarity to everyone taking part in this inspiring action. 🤩✊🌈 #ClimateSky
This is civil disobedience‼️ We've asked 'nicely' for decades. Disobeying institutions that abuse power to deliberately harm those less powerful is a vital tenant of a healthy democracy. There is still time to join is at #RisingTide 👇🏽

It is irresponsible for any government agency to issue statements such as that linking paracetamol/acetominephen to autism without scientific proof.
To clarify, the TGA, AMA and the RACOG in Australia have all stated paracetamol is safe in pregnancy.

Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?

Disobeying illegal orders cannot be sedition. The Uniform Code of Military Justice, article 92, requires service members to follow LAWFUL orders. If an order is illegal, they have a duty to DISOBEY. Obeying an illegal order can result in criminal liability.

It's almost Thanksgiving! Got an ICE member coming for dinner at your house? No you don't! Can't stop them because you're not the one hosting? No problem. You can shun them, mock them, shame them, cough in their food. They get the weird chair. No weird chair? Make a weird chair.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

I did this once when I had cognitive problems post my first covid infection.
It just needs to be way easier to lose your license and your car for reckless driving, because a few months of major societal disruption 5 years ago taught people that driving in such a way that kills others or themselves is nbd
so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...
