The world is a fiery mess, and my heart breaks

But my partner & I spent much of this week deeply immersed in nature, making friends furry, scaley & leafy, skinny dipping in rivers & bays & ocean, and the grief subsides.

If more of us got our kit off and jumped in the water, the world would improve

What the everloving fuck is this

They wonder why people think government is a sick joke

Nah, we won't stop funding fossil fuels, or stop gambling ads, or regulate AI. We'll do an unworkable and idiotic social media ban for kids...

Oh and here's a pile of cash for private equity because Tim Tams.

This is a hugely famous public figure. I absolutely could not have told you it was him, even while reading the article. In fact, despite the caption, I’m not sure I believe it. What’s going on?

Who’re you calling slow?

I’ve got two pieces I’ve been working on for a while almost ready to go up on the blog/letter: “On the necessity and limits of left populism” and “ACAB includes (climate) COPs”.

31% of Jewish New Yorkers voted for Mamdani.

To me, this says the absolute dominance of Zionism in the diaspora has broken. As New York goes, the rest of the diaspora follows. This is massive.

Relatedly. No I will not.

Absofuckinglutely NOT. Just no.

Haven’t even started in academia and this old profile is being resurrected and turned into slop?!?

Seriously, though. Can you turn it off? Or should I just quit the service? Any point being on there?

So yeah, I’m a bit obsessed with Ali Smith, sure, but this book is truly something else. It’s both devastating and uplifting. Also laugh-out-loud funny and mind-expandingly thoughtful. Think I’ll have to read this one again in a little while.

“Piss in our time”

In a rather WTF moment, someone left a banana peel neatly on my bike saddle while I was swimming.

Is it a message of some kind?

Or a genuine accident?

There are food waste bins 10m away…

My heart is broken in a million pieces.

There’s so much tragedy in the world, but today this is mine. This magnificent creature gave so much love and joy for ten years.

My beloved Midnight has left us, after a long illness, curled up at home with me and my daughter. She was the bestest.

It’s time we believed Labor when they tell us they are quite happy to see countless people, not to speak of creatures, die in fires, floods, droughts and storms, so as to enable the fossil fuel industry to keep making profits a while longer.

The old world is dead. Time to birth the new.

Brought my beloved baby home from hospital and she got straight into a nice cardboard box.

Steeling ourselves for saying goodbye. Can’t bear to think about it too much. Not clear how much longer she will be with us.

Aaaand the Albanese Government has approved its first fossil fuel expansion of the new term.

We're all (legitimately) focussed on genocide, while governments like ours are actively pursuing a policy of omnicide.

How nice to have a stinking parliamentary majority and use it for ecocide.

Huge crowd in Canberra today. 4-5000, I estimate. Which for our little town is massive.

None of us will ever be safe until all are safe.

Killing leads only to more killing. The killing must end.

Later than usual this year comes the important annual question: “wattle we do about this, then?”

And while we’re being humerus, I taut I tore my rotator cuff, but it turns out I’ve fractured my greater tuberosity. Sounds dramatic, but I can shoulder the pain.
