I'd rather be gardening but my shitty body won't let me do it much so I'm eating chocolate, watching Netflix/ABC/SBS, reading, & hoping for the end of fossil fuel burning, nature restoration, & some satire & silliness. She/her, Kaurna Land, AU.
I just signed this open letter to the ABC. getup.to/KlnWdS5CQV1sG
ABC: Stand with your journalists
An independent movement to build a progressive Australia and bring participation back into our democracy.

Ludicrous priorities!! It would be funny, except it's not. 🥸🤬
In 2023-24 Australia collected more than four times more from HECS repayments than the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax.

First Dog nails it again. 16 year old Australians have lots of civil responsibilities but no right to vote. 🤨 They'll be in the future the longest so I reckon they should be able to vote. #auspol

According to the ALP - this “diminished” Faruqi.
She will never have to sit with guilt that she was silent on genocide.
She spoke for millions with this gesture.
The ALP will have to face this. They should never forget what they did & what they failed to do.

Is it just me, or is it crazy to have special envoys into the experiences of particular racial groups in Australia? Wouldn't it be better to have a social harmony ministry which works with the community to make all cultures welcome and valued here, and to prevent violence against any group? #auspol

Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it.
We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

Absolutely mad!! Leave the gas, coal, and oil in the ground. Lean into renewable energy and battery storage for a clean, safe future.
A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australia’s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles.
We don’t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports.
@emmashortis.bsky.social went to take a look ⤵️

Such pretty veg from the Farmers Market! 😍 It's getting harder to grow with climate change but I love what dedicated farmers can produce.
