The story of 'Doodlebug', an orphaned baby kangaroo who was found on the side of the road, a little baby about two months old.

Tim Beshara and his mum Gillian Abbott who is a wildlife caretaker took care of him, and gave him a teddy bear for comfort, and he wouldn't stop hugging it. 🥹

Chatting to an Aust journo 2 days ago who told me how much she's enjoying BlueSky and would love to follow people back, but she's very wary of so many people without bios or some sort of post history, avi pic or indication of who they are.

If you'd like to be followed back here, it does help.

Celebrated the life of Gemma Carey today - one of the most intelligent and hard-working people I’ve ever known. Her brutal and heart-wrenching honesty was her real power.

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party.

They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.
