Live and let live. Kindness matters. There is no Planet B. Love animals, don’t consume them or their products. No time for hyperbolic hatefulness or black and white thinking. Please don’t DM me, I don’t want to offend by not responding.

"I’m sick of being told to feel sorry for this ...group of ...men who use their grievance to amp up their bigotry, whose relative fall in standing has caused them to hit out at newly arrived minorities, often doing even worse than themselves"

They also resent and hit out at women.

"... another group that is increasingly bringing Pauline Hanson to the table: men — specifically Gen X men, aged between 45 and 60, one quarter of whom now support One Nation, according to a Redbridge/Accent poll conducted for the AFR. 1/2 www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/09/o...
What’s going on with Gen X men and One Nation? I'm sick of being told to feel sorry for them
One Nation is not going to help rural Australians nor furious Gen X men, both unable to see an end to their housing, financial or energy strife. But hey, neither were the Nationals.

“Judged by the current harvest, the tree of our social life and politics is infused with trauma from the root to the fruit. If there is any hope for a different yield, a hope on which the future of the planet surely hinges…look within bravely, the better to look out and around honestly” - Gabor Mate

We need more of this explicit accountability to future generations for the environmental legacy left to them by our actions/inactions today…
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Good morning Bluesky

The rain from storm Bram is pounding on the windows and the trees are doing a wild dance in the strong winds.

A reminder Japan on-sells more Australian gas to other countries than is consumed on the entire East Coast of Australia.

We don't need *more* gas, we need to tax our gas exports properly

The Govt likes to tell us that the assessment process for mines and other major projects helps ensure health and environmental impacts are avoided or minimised. But what happens when information about serious impacts are deliberately suppressed? That's what's happening with lead mining in NSW 🤬🤯

Australia Institute research shows Australian nurses pay more in tax than the gas industry. How’s that fair?

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire Somali immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

Woodside are expanding fossil fuels during the climate crisis. They have chosen to be the bad guys. We shouldn't let them launder their reputations through our community institutions.

Student & staff members of @stopwoodsidemonash campaigned fearlessly against Woodside's partnership at Monash Uni.
