Australians voted for climate action! Australia Institute research shows that Australia is currently expanding fossil fuels. We need stronger environmental laws that stop new coal and gas projects. Sign your name here: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/strong_envir...

An extremely good turnout in Nipaluna (Hobart) today -est 7000 - to stand against a ridiculous stadium, bullying by the AFL of a spineless Lib govt and pointless Labor ‘opposition’ who just agree with them cos ‘jobs’ but blind to crippling ongoing debt. Yeah, nah #politas

I harvested my garlic today because it was ready. It’s November!!! And eating blackcurrants before the redcurrants are ready. It really feels like lucky dip in the garden at the moment.

Who would think that at this point in Australia’s economic transition we should be spending more, not less, on research and development… Imagine if we taxed the gas industry and pant more on R&D…crazy talk … #cliamte thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Two greenhouse frames up with an extension. Now to lay cardboard floor and cover with wire mesh to keep the birds and critters out of my fruit. I will have berries and cherries this year! #SuburbanOrchard #homegrowing #BackyardPermaculture #GrowYourOwn

Can’t decide if my Autumn Raspberry is very late or early in Lutruwita (Tas)! With snow on the mountain I’m going with late, lmao. Either way the birds are onto it!

Just FYI.

Hedges absolutely killed with this opening. Short. Sweet. Correct.

Oh FFS now hail.

Brrrr. WTF happened to Spring? My tomatoes are not liking this icy wind and neither am I.

Beach life. Beach graffiti courtesy of the local wildlife.

the only instance in recorded history of a traffic collision between a car and a u-boat!

Anyone recognise this friend (or maybe not friend)? New to my garden this spring and currently lounging in a plum tree. #VegetableGardening #gardenpests #gardenpredators #caterpillar #hairycaterpillar

Film maker Simon Nasht says Tony Burke's local Australian content rules for film & TV, slipped through on Cup Day, are not as they seem #Netflix #auspol michaelwest.com.au/burkes-backy...

Please add your name to prevent out Environment Laws becoming so weak as to be worthless.

I had almost given up on achieving any writing this month ala NanoWriMo but collecting seaweed earlier today has compelled me to do so and somehow I have just written the obligatory 1600+ words. It wasn’t on the story I had planned but there is hope.

Beach life. Collecting fresh seaweed for my garden and compost, and realising this is what my ancestors, in another place, did for centuries.

A girl in Gaza found a bag of instant noodles left behind by the israelis: starving, she opened it to cook them, and they exploded in her hands (Sarah Wilkinson)

Oh my God, Cuba. When the guy is dead you can stop punching!

93% of the Gaza Strip has been rendered unusable by Israel (Euro-Med)

Since the ceasefire began on 11Oct25, Israel has launched 125 attacks on Gaza, killing 211 people (mostly women and children). After each attack, Israel announces it is "resuming the ceasefire". Western news media says very little. 😠 #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide

Thanks to @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social for highlighting Abby Martin’s new documentary. The link between environmental trashing, militarism and capitalism is worth your attention.

Human rights organisations have condemned the Albanese Government’s first deportation to Nauru under its new secret offshore deal, calling it a shameful breach of Australia’s values of fairness, equality and justice. asrc.org.au/2025/10/28/f...

The Albanese Government has just deported the first person under their shady new deal with Nauru. To stop these deportations, we need to show the Government that we won’t accept this kind of cruelty being carried out in our name. Can you email your MP today?

Opt out of gambling ads on SBS!

Tasmania's Integrity Commission has a code of conduct that bans former parliamentary secretaries and ministers from lobbying on matters they dealt with in the year before they left office. Now an ex-MP turned lobbyist sparks call for a new law. #politas tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/ex-libe...

A useful animated video, illustrating how everyday noises—ones non-autistic people may not notice—can overwhelm an autistic person, in some cases leading to bolting and meltdowns that uninformed people dismiss as "autistic behaviors." Please watch and share. youtu.be/K2P4Ed6G3gw?... #neurodiversity

Anything but say genocide because they’d be equally guilty. #auspol

#WATCH | Journalist Muhammad Al-Zaanin bid farewell to his son after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Al-Zawaida area in central Gaza, in a blatant violation of the ceasefire.

Beach life. A little breezy.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Telling it like it is. #Auspol #PoliTas

No sign of the two way arms trade between Australia and Israel slowing as Australia purchases approx $20m worth of weapons from Elbit.

#BREAKING | Israeli occupation naval boats open fire toward the coast of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza Strip.

#WATCH | Despite the ongoing ceasefire, Israeli troops have continued to destroy Palestinian homes in Gaza over the past several days. (Younis Tirawi)

Them: You don't look autistic Me: You don't see it because my autism mostly affects me. I've spent most of my life painstakingly minimizing the impact it has on others... so now it has no effect on you at all, but my life is indescribably more difficult and exhausting

#Israel kills Palestinians in Gaza and has announced it will not abide by the terms for facilitating humanitarian aid, despite the #ceasefire agreement. This is reported by various news sites. Nothing on Australia's ABC News re this. Do they have a blanket rule: no negative reports re Israel? #Gaza

Let’s disrupt the global chain of complicity that enables Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. The BDS movement is calling on you to join the Week of Action against F-35s from 13-18 October. Send an email to your elected officials now ➡️ loom.ly/qypYlvM #DisruptComplicity

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

THEY'RE MARCHING FOR AUSTRALIA AGAIN. WE'RE COUNTERING AGAIN. [video] WATCH: youtu.be/jy9JExNo0zE Looking at 19 October M4As - and our counters. SHOW THE FUCK UP AND STOP WASTING TIME - GET YOUR MATES, FOLLOWERS, WHATEVER TO DO THE SAME.

If Trump is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize - a very big if - it will be interesting to see how many past recipients return theirs. Doubtless something the decision makers will have in mind.

"If you removed our autism you would remove us. Everything you love &hate about us would be gone. We'd fundamentally be completely different ppl. So if you love an autistic person, their autism is part of what you love about them." By @autiebiographical.bsky.social: www.facebook.com/autiebiograp...

#politas and #auspol please take note. This is how you support creatives! Let us thrive and culture and the economy thrives.

Oh this is brilliant!

The most moral army my arse. Hey @albomp.bsky.social when are you going to sanction Israel?
