🧵 1/2
Australians have been and continue to be hoodwinked, bamboozled, and led astray by this racist and classist system - a system built on the dispossession and genocide of First Nations peoples, the exploitation of convict labour, the White Australia Policy, stolen wages, stolen children,

So glad I wasn’t part of this inquiry. I wouldn’t have been able to help myself. Especially after the last statement. 😂😂🤣🤣

I had to look it up...
When a male honeybee (drone) mates with a queen, his endophallus (sex organ) actually rips off and remains inside her body. The sudden loss tears open his abdomen, and he dies shortly after.

Just a reminder that you can donate your spare dollars to help BlackSky build their infrastructure (and bring back Link).

Can we get the word around for more donations to go to BlackSky so there’s funding for the infrastructure that can bring Link back?

From my understanding:

Relays are costly and expensive. Anyone feel free to chime in. Bluesky relays is what has him banned.

Australia’s finally dropping the outdated ban on gay & bi men donating blood. About fucking time. Decades of stigma bled into policy... now we can start healing properly. Equality shouldn’t have a shelf life.

That's a good amount of SM time, and I watch no TV news or current affairs either. The media are definitely trying to push people right, as they are owned by the oligarchs who benifit most from authoritarianism, as capitalism collapses.

Want some good news?
In 2024, the world added 582 gigawatts of new renewable energy capacity, the most ever in a single year.
Even better... in the first half of 2025, renewables generated more electricity globally than coal for the first time!!

At least I'm more disconnected from the news cycle and more connected with my local community now, this off grid community life is great 🙂

Good morning, Gail. I completely agree. I also wish the media would shine more light on the good happening in the world. It might just inspire even more of it.

We need homes for the homeless, not investments.

You are just adding fuel to the Australian Property Ponzi Scheme.

Why don't you just build community housing.

The Supreme Court has flat out rejected Alex Jones's appeal, which means that he must pay billions of dollars for defaming Sandy Hook families.

Mould, leaks, rot... the houses failed inspection, so the tenants get evicted. Welcome to Queensland’s new housing policy: punish the poor, protect the landlords.

Tenants evicted after taxpayer-funded landlord fails to maintain property

The community housing provider says the landlord was unwilling to complete the necessary repairs, which included fixing doors that would not shut, leaking roofs and mouldy concrete.
