Our neighbours have moved out or gone away - we haven’t seen them in months - and we’ve suspected there’s a fox living in their back garden because our dogs keep barking at the fence. Turns out there’s a whole FAMILY! I just saw over the fence one of the adults bringing a dead possum to the kits:

This is incredible news, and shows the incredible power of collective action. The fight against the neoliberal university (my own included) goes on, but its nice to hear some good news for a change.

This was twenty-three months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 16,365 kids since.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Research into orchid seed germination shows the importance of deadwood and wood-decaying fungi: 🪵🪾🍄🍄‍🟫 “For conservation, our results mean that protecting orchids in the wild is inseparable from protecting deadwood and its fungi” #orchids #fungi #nativeplants #germination

I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit scared of any new ‘environment laws’ that Labor can get Matt Canavan and Andrew Hastie to vote for…I think they will be better described as ‘ how to build more mines faster laws’ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

I've attended many motor vehicle accidents. Last NOV we got paged to a car which had hit a tree at high speed. Completely on fire, incl the battery pack & internal combustion engine. There is a lot of anti renewables hype out there. Most of it is fear mongering crap. We know how to deal with this.

if a minister in their 30s did this they’d be smeared for weeks

What’s this? Yet more research concluding that robust public investment in the arts yields economic benefits? A great outcome for Ireland, and a rebuke to all those tired cliches about freeloading artists sapping the resources of the state. But also, art enriches us all, economic benefits or no.

making my annual pilgrimage to one of the most objectionable road signs in the country, which is also responsible for the one and only time I "went viral" on the other site

They are called writers

It's difficult to check (registration is by product, not constituent), but last I looked there were well over 100 herbicide chemicals registered for use in Australia. So why are we running a free advert for the latest one?

Many more are buried in rubble or vaporised by bombs a Lancet study in June (when officially recorded deaths were 37,877) estimated a real toll of 64,260. UN data shows 40% were children & 22% women This was before lsraeI started the mass starvation & aid traps. Now, lsraeI kills 100 Gazans a day

Things are looking grim for the migratory eastern curlew in the opening round of the #birdoftheyear, but there’s never been a more appropriate time to vote for a bird which challenges our nationalistic obsessions with what‘s from “here” and what’s from “there”: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Soon you can have your sushi delivered by the same drones that shot toddlers in the head while they were scraping spilled flour off the ground

Not a fan of either the Storm or the Broncos but I think that’s nice for Ben Hunt and I’m happy for him

For those lucky enough to not know this is a neo-Nazi meme normally found on TRS and the Daily Stormer being shared by the official DHS account.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity. msf.org/msf-denounce...

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla. Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained. The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

Emily and I were briefly in Healesville today so we popped into Healesville Sanctuary and it is very important for you all to know that they currently have BABY TASMANIAN DEVILS

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

No it doesn’t, that’s you doing that

A letter to @sallymcmanus.bsky.social

Just days after Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced it had to stop medical work in Gaza City due to Israeli attacks, Israeli forces have killed staff member Omar Hayek & injured 4 others in Deir al Balah. Staff were wearing MSF vests, waiting for a bus to a field hospital.

Wealthy cosseted white dudes need to stop acting like their incuriosity, moral cowardice, and self-serving unwillingness to speak truth to power (or amplify those doing so) is somehow virtuous superiority www.theredhandfiles.com/where-do-you...

Absolutely thrilling moment spotlighting an hour from home last night with my first ever Leadbeater’s possum!! Small, fast, critically endangered, and thought to have been extinct from 1909 until 1961, these critters are iconic and legendary. Victoria’s forests are so special and must be protected!

The Sumud Flotilla is entering the ‘high risk zone’ on its mission to Gaza. Australia must demand the safe passage for this vital aid.

The world was given ample warning that failure to hold Israel to account would lead to inevitable violence. Palestinians could not be held in perpetual occupation, apartheid and blockade. If they wanted to isolate Hamas they needed to undercut its raison d'être. We told you this.

Senators unleashing unhinged flying monkeys over stoopid imported culture war bullshit is a very bad thing actually

This Riyadh festival has been illuminating. I hope people stop going to their shows in the rest of the world. “Mark Normand … joked he would bring his wife to show her how good she has it in America: “I want to be like, ‘You see? You think I’m an asshole? Well, they’ll cut your clit off, bitch.’”

The fact that an official social media account of the State of Israel can lie so brazenly should tell us enough, so why does our own government put stock in Israeli assurances and accusations and “intelligence”? Are we ruled by idiots?

The debate should be clear that when Hastie says *people feel like a stranger in our own country* he means this. And Box Hill and Preston and Harris Park and Springvale and lots of other great neighbourhoods. Nobody should mistake what he said.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Hmm… this certainly *seems* like a phishing attempt, but the URL says it’s “safe xo” so who can really say!

I’ll never have the fame, money, book sales or life experience of JKR but I do know that when you say something publicly *everyone* has the right to critique you, and when you espouse harmful bigotry against one of society’s most marginalised groups *everyone* has the obligation to critique you you.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this
