Just gonna say this: our families don't all hate or revile us as queer Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people aren't trying to find a way to alienate our families and friends. This white queer rendering of queer Aboriginal people as cast out by mob is ridiculous and a colonial fantasy. And racist.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny
These kids are traumatized
It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.
The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

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.

If Australia had decently funded science (BoM or CSIRO) we would have climate models built on long term data like sea surface temps 👇
Instead I guess we can ask Woodside for a look at their models, pretty please?
The risks are getting bigger.

A view of this year's extreme sea surface temperatures and recent warming across the North Pacific... 🌊
This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every average January-October period from 1854-2025 using ERSSTv5 data.
