Drosera roseana (I think) One of the pygmy sundews that is endemic to the south coast of Western Australia. This species can be seen growing between Northcliffe and Albany, often on the margins of swampy areas. #ozflora #wildoz #fierceflora #sundews #nativeplants

BBC becomes an apologist for Trump

Look at this absolute professional just doing his job.

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it). "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

Let the men of man the guns they make. Put the politicians own dear lives at stake. Those battle hungry generals send them off to war. If there's war for those who want it they won't want it anymore. War For Those Who Want It, Naarm folkie

happy four seasons total landscaping day to all who celebrate

Robodebt was a mass deception based on a cruel bet: that people on income support would simply give up and pay debts they didn't owe. Today I tabled a petition from Kath Madgwick and Jenny Miller calling for those responsible to finally be held accountable.

Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now? 😂😂😂 [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

An excuse to share this again? Oh, if I must.

How are you feeling today?

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

Nothing demonstrates the decline in public virtue more than the contrast between David McBride, who exposed Australian war crimes, who is behind bars, and Ben Roberts-Smith, who committed the war crimes, who is not

Hello Blue Sky, hello Australia. Happy 40th birthday to Post.

Guess who? (As read in @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social’s new book from @thenewpress.bsky.social.)

this video has it all: 1) gang gangs showing their preferred tiny nests entrance (+ associated logistic problems), 2) can hear the rapid squeaky call of the babies getting fed when mum eventually squeezes in, 3) full frontal absurdity of the floppy crest of dad, 4) stripy bum. this better go viral😍🦜

The absurdity of what is happening now in the United States is painfully reminiscent of post-perestroika Moscow, when the looting of imperial assets began. Everyone was surprised, some were amused, most were sad. Long live Yeltsin!

This is it. (via @davidgraeberinst.bsky.social)

Time was you could trap your adopted daughter in a doorless tower and force her to let you use her hair as a ladder. You can't do that now. Because of woke.

“It is unacceptable that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are still dying in custody more than 30 years on from the Royal Commission”.

A solution is on the table to protect whistleblowers and fight corruption. The question is … will those in power act? #auspol

Someone on Facebook asked advice for a coverup tattoo for a Gaiman quote (and fair enough!) and a tattoo artist got chatting and said they do so many HP coverups these days too. That made me very happy. Then they said: "I donate the money from hp coverups to trans advocacy groups" and I got happier.

Canberra took a stand against hate and the politicisation of children's healthcare today! 400 people! DURING the multiculti and lifeline book fare!!!

“Shawn, who is Jewish, said—that Israel is “doing evil that is just as great as what the Nazis did.” “And anybody who doesn’t recognize that it’s evil, I can’t, probably, communicate with that person. That might be temporary insanity.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

Good to see a politician principled enough to stand against the dehumanisation of a minority.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
