Then came 2024: despite repeated government attempts to shut it down, people power prevailed with over 7,000 people mobilising across 10 days and 173 people courageously stopping the ships.”

I love Northern Australia, and it breaks my heart what's happening and is planned for this region. More people need to know why this place is so special and what's at risk, so I wrote about it. My first article for @australiainstitute.org.au's The Point. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...
Northern Australia is extraordinary, and it’s under severe threat
Right now, this region, is under siege, in large part due to insatiable corporate and government desires to ‘develop’ the North.

Stoopid brains making lists and hierarchies. Buddhist teaching ftw on this one
“As this civilisation sinks into its digital coma, supremacy narratives are easier than ever to create, amplify and weaponize…As truth becomes buried under mountains of junk and screentime begins to compete with real life, we are entering the era of the Big Unconsciousness.” - George Tsakraklides
Why Societies Are Inherently Racist: The Plague of Supremacy in 500 Words
Those who perpetrate conflict, genocide and ecocide have always relied on supremacist rhetoric: who is the strongest, smartest, whitest.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

I’ve spent the last hour reading hundreds of posts from long COVID support groups.
I can’t tell you how upsetting it is to read the suffering.

Australian history has often been written from a southern perspective. But a history of the tropical North sheds light on ‘truth telling’ and questions of race.
