#30daymapchallenge Day 10: Air Where will my breath travel today? From the Catch Your Breath project : andrewstyan.com/portfolio/ca... #Python #NOAA (NOAA need our support!)

A provocatively named coal ship just got provocatively tagged in Newcastle harbour.

One for the good side in the seemingly never ending climate change information v misinformation battle.

‘The way that the media deals with the climate is it’s an environmental story and it’s a future story. Whereas this is a housing story, a cost-of-living story, an inequality story, a role of government story…’ - Richard Denniss, Executive Director @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

And the wind turbines bearing witness. Quintessential post-apocalyptic image right there.

“how you died does not redeem how you lived”

dear America you don't have a left, you have Conservatives, a right, a far right and then you have Trump, and then you have the extreme right he enables...get out of the country and have a look at how fucking crazy it is to the rest of us...I wish I was joking.

For a project I am working on - how do you think John Howard fundamentally changed Australia - what did he do that we are still feeling the effects of? (Housing, immigration debates, loss of workers rights, black arm band of history, jingoism etc) Really interested in your takes.

a useful bit of knowledge. thanks.

"At a moment when the language of politics is so dour and so dark, it’s important to understand that the tonic to the darkness is not imitating it, but rather to marshal the same lightness and joy that also characterizes our lives." --Mamdani, in this interview:

Outstanding, disturbing piece by Virginia Trioli. #society #education #multiculturalism www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Yep. We’re not immune. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today we celebrate the birth of the French philosopher Bruno Latour, one of the most influential thinkers in the philosophy of technology and science studies.

Great approach to think about climate change through all the ways we can feel about it. Far too easy to get stuck in anger or despair. Bring on some wonder or even hope!

Laura sums it up perfectly “Not being a terrible government means considering just what opportunities you have to change the conversation now that you are not wedged so savagely from the left and right.” If they do nothing else, at least shift the conversation.

the universe is an amazing place, especially when you look closely.

Almost as if this was written with the LNP in mind … #auspol

Should we be praying to the spirit of Gough for Labor to be more ambitious? Found this vinyl gem in an ‘antique’ store @mikecarlton01.bsky.social No record player unfortunately. #auspol

"Maybe it’s more accurate to speak of ‘the neo-colonised world’: a term that captures how historically extractive relationships persisted and mutated. Today’s extractive empires are corporate and financial, not just national or hemispheric..."

Watch this

Imagine how miserable it must be to experience the world without wonder and delight. Everyone in power right now: no curiosity, no kindness — just power and “prestige” and profit. So pathetic. Dangerous and destructively consequential, of course, but also tragic. Protect the weird and wonderful.

Great podcast for those interested in how continent sized electricity grids work.

Democracy Sausage day in Australia today where we number every box to register our preferences (although not necessarily in hopscotch order). Thankful for an independent electoral commission and preferential voting.

Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?

Glad to see all this discussion of community education. Just a reminder that I’ve made all of my course material — 40 classes, from methods to maps, knowledge infrastructures to local media, digital ethnography to digital urbanism — freely available for 20+ years :)

Australia take note…

exactly

Imagine if we had an index that everyone panicked about when things fundamental to our well being were threatened.

Basically got you elected in Australia between 2010-2019

Same has happened here in Australia with the murdoch media, although (hopefully) not to the same extent. We will soon find out #auspol

just to say again, watch the Shot, it is getting better and more fluid by the week and as I said @nickihutley.bsky.social and @grogsgamut.bsky.social had absolute cut through on the economy and the tax hits and misses this morning - pointing to a serious long term fiscal rethink :)

Excellent analysis. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

🤔 Salmon in #Tasmania East coast summer: Extra warm waters + nutrients = salp bloom-> bioluminescence bloom ->jellyfish bloom “Each of them is a visible indicator [something wrong in the ocean]..and also a driver of more damage. But combined, one after the other, after the other, it’s insane” 1/

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Fantastic episode of #SundayShot today. If you missed it live - the replay is now up on Youtube #auspol And please subscribe to the The Sunday Shot YouTube channel.

I’m reminded of this classic: youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM?...

#auspol has a special kind of politics

Thought crimes.

and australia (especially the LNP) is planning more gas?

This (and don’t forget 7).

@karenyourish.bsky.social, who wrote this article, is doing amazing work, and y'all should follow her. Also, "confirmation bias" being on the list of terms to limit or avoid is just *chef's kiss* level of irony.

I joined Christiana Figueres for a special International Women’s Day episode on her well-names podcast, Outrage + Optimism. Listen here!

As @mitchelldickau.bsky.social notes, carbon released from the lithosphere (fossil fuels) cannot be compensated by carbon taken up in the biosphere (trees, plants, etc). Sadly this scam is widespread; it needs to be called out on every occasion.

The stuff of nightmares 😱

Great article. Definitely looking forward to this: "Essentially, those who resist the game shun the zero-sum player, who tends to be less happy and hard to be around. [...] With time, the “win-winners” add partners and agree to new rules." Maybe those new rules will be more 'planetary' in scope.

Excellent interview. While the progressives (including me) sit in their outrage bubble, much of the population are overwhelmed by it all. Alex's commentary reminded me of this: hiddentribes.us

But the critics still roll out like toilet paper. Albo didn't say enough, Albo didn't say anything about Trump. Good governments, good leaders don't do heavy diplomacy at a fucking presser. Some people have no idea.
