"Urban life produces forms of distress. Loneliness in crowds, sensory overload, status anxiety, and attention fragmentation. These conditions are usually treated as individual problems. But an ecological analysis has to ask what kind of habitat repeatedly produces the same patterns of suffering."

Had to release my little dog Monkey from her body prison today. I am very sad. #skydogs

"In case you were wondering if anything at all is different between Australian political power and fossil fuel interests – no, it’s not."

DON'T SHARE THIS, IT'S AI FABRICATED It's fake - the media outlet almost certainly used generative AI to write this and it pulled from a "parody" acct (www.instagram.com/p/DZu8trmR89Y/) The more you share this, the more you help the pro-AI bros say this is all fake www.youtube.com/live/ho_Zmwg...

Meanwhile in Australia, the most unexpected and frankly disturbing first sentence you will read today. www.heraldsun.com.au/business/vic...

Another terrible AI-generated image of the gynaecological anatomy. It must be a day ending in a Y. Let's take a closer look at this wholly cursed illustration of a menstrual cup via @pzmyers.bsky.social

Christ the fuckery is pervasive, hey

The entire world's emotional state can be summed up by a current picture of Gaza or south lebanon. We are shattered by the inhumanity we have been forced to witness and they are trying to make us complicit and silent about it. I will never not speak. #SanctionIsraelNow

"The more we’re divided into raging, mindless hatred of Muslims or migrants, trans people or feminists, the more they can screw us over. That creates a new well of pain to extract. There’s no downside for the uber rich."

DON PONG. Today’s @theageaustralia.bsky.social @sydmorningherald.bsky.social cartoon

Glorious thread

Also don’t invest in Space X… Per ig: @/your.richbff

Pretty much sums it up.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

I cannot state strongly enough that data centre overdevelopment and the shockingly toxic technology of generative AI should be both be intensely opposed, rather than welcomed on the grounds that they're taxed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Gigantic stinky end of the world AI datacentres? Is this the best we can do as a species? Let's have a robot fight! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I would never recommend a romcom because they are awful, but I would recommend watching Betty Gilpin's scenes in Office Romance because - GOD I love her. Would marry.

looking at ridiculous facebook pro-one nation ai slop #1 full video on yt

MUM IS DROWNING IN ONE NATION AI SLOP [video] watch: youtu.be/Bc0PIfOGlyk Call your mum. Your mum reckons Pauline Hanson is saving the homeless and kids with brain tumours. Mum's on the AI slop. A look at a little of the AI slopaganda flooding social media, contributing to the recent rise of ON.

Normalcy bias alert! I'm looking at forecasts for the coming El Nino, and it's like a fucking comet coming right at us. I've been trying to write about it, but I can't find the words. Maybe tomorrow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalc...

Megan Aldrich, 30, works full time in an attempt to avoid starving to death, but is forced to choose between showing up to work and being the sort of person who doesn’t cry in the shower.

An autistic woman has accidentally started a conversation she doesn’t have the spoons to continue, loved ones have claimed.

It’s time to stop pretending. The world is objectively unhinged, and this ‘business as usual’ act is becoming the most exhausting part of the chaos.

The WA government made a tourism ad for the Kimberley, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! 👉 Write to Environment Minister Murray Watt 🥧 www.environskimberley.org.au/minister_watt

Two years of lying about bombing Gaza's hospitals – supposedly to target "Hamas control and command centres" underneath – has really paid off. Now Israel bombs Lebanon's hospitals and doesn't even need to pretend there's a military rationale.

Culture war aside, all 4 eps are up and are a great dive into the way autistic women and gender diverse ppl are treated/mistreated, both person to person and societally. Talking to experts and people with lived experience. Super interesting and important. Highly recommend!

"Fat and overfed hacks like Hughesie and Pickering roll around in the mud and slurry of the Australian culture they have helped cultivate, more terrified of losing their next ABC contract than of staying silent and being complicit in a genocide."

"Gentry was indefinable, independent, and confident in her dark lyricism. As a result, she had to be punished." Painful, beautiful truth, as always from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Fuck yeah

Won't somebody think of little Graynge and Bledislowe

🔥🔥🔥 also 😭

Charlie Pickering on the Chopping Board, DV Assault Perpetrator's (Yemini) podcast, says, Grace Tame's 4 episode podcast on neurodivergence is 'problematic' because she's spoken out against genocide... This timeline is shitfuckery on speed. #Auspol

"...as Israel violates yet another “ceasefire”, the shredded children that have returned to your social media feeds are being shredded by Australian made explosives, and a bunch of terrible people are getting extremely rich in the process."

This is excellent

whenever i think "i own enough t shirts already" i see something like this

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

Victoria Police *rock* band Code One has reformed and agreed to play at Trump's Freedom 250.

Is it right to hold hostages as a bargaining chip? Recently prison guards in NSW went on strike, confining prisoners to their cells. It highlights the unique position of "violence workers" and the role that "violence unions" play in expanding state violence.

its so funny people are still like "actually the economy is better than how it appears" and the average millennial retirement plan is to strap a bomb to your chest

Absolute fucking legends ❤️
