“Australia just quietly made medical history... because we listened to science ZERO cervical cancer cases diagnosed in Aussie women under 25 in 2021... the first time since national records began in 1982 Thanks to HPV vaccination & better cervical screening” H/t Snarky Gherkin

So no travelling to the US then.... www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

It's jumper weather again here in the national capital! Lovely cool day.

Your reminder: Before Scott Morrison snuck off to Hawaii, he snubbed a delegation of 23 fire chiefs wanting to warn him and urge more water bombing resources, - because that would be acknowledging climate change. The Coalition has nothing to offer but wilful ignorance.

Doesn't say much for Australia's security if we can't bring 40 kids and their mothers home. Even less for our humanity. Bring them home @albomp.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“My mum died this year and I try to live by her peaceful, tolerant, “just get on with it” attitude to life… …But the sight of a perpetuator denying or dismissing hurt will always be a trigger for even the quietest, most peaceful private person to finally feel the need to speak out.”

So tired. In bed already at not yet 8pm. Finished watching the new season out Outlander, looked at one student draft assignment that came in. It's been a huge week and I need to sleep.

As reminded by @drhilary.bsky.social Beautiful Corny 💔 and the summer from hell.

This is my #neverforget. Because it happened right before the pandemic and lockdown, I think many Australians are yet to process the full extent of this tragedy.

Rose on the balcony.

Um...wut...🥴😂

Come to Australia they said, enjoy our native wildlife they said…

Four year old me would love this beetle (straight to the bug catcher). 55 year old me still loves bugs. *Wally loves her pool ball

Thought you might like to look at the ocean for a moment

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

When that fucking trumpeter is done with endless repetition of "You Are My Sunshine", I'm more than happy to teach him "Ow There's A Cornet Up My Clacker".

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

A cat was recently seen in the vicinity of the stairs so now they’re both too scared to come down

So The Oz has discovered there is now racism in Australia. But only one kind of racism, no other kind.

Happy Wrensday Wednesday! A female white-winged fairywren near Wilmington. #wrensday

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Sorry, a chatbot decides if you’re being human and then a human reviews it?

I would have gotten back to you sooner but there was a cat on me and I didn’t want to disturb him.

5 years 11 months ago, I become very concerned. 5 years 10 months ago, I wander my city, dazed, knowing what's going to happen soon. 5 years 9 months ago, I read an email that suggests anosmia is a symptom. I decide to do everything I can to not get infected. Still doing so.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

Morning. ☕️

We've got a new one!!! Comment thread of upwards of a thousand Americans (why is it always Americans) thinking flying foxes are AI-generated Open the schools jfc

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.
