When we look back at Palestinian genocide in history books we must not just see the moment of loudness at the end but the months of silence, excuses and complicity that came first. We need to learn from this, not just applaud breadcrumbs that arrive when bodies are too malnourished to digest them.

"We can bomb the world to pieces But we can't bomb it into peace." -Michael Franti

Remember this open letter from Australian journalists written November 2023 encouraging rigour, transparency and ethical reporting on Israel, Palestine and Gaza? Read it back now and remember how much worse things have gotten and how many were disciplined for this. form.jotform.com/233177455020...

Check out this cool and totally random book on climate change I found on the shelf while out and about today that I've never ever seen before. You should buy it for your primary school aged children! (Genuinely. It's great, and @constababble.bsky.social did an incredible job. Buy it twice!)

When our major parties tell us who they are when it comes to addressing climate crisis or First Nations rights and heritage, we need to believe them. Approving a 'carbon bomb' that will threaten over 50 000 year old rock art. A disgraceful use of power. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As Martin Luther King Jr said: “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” I will never regret times I have spoken up. If you haven't already, please find your voice. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At a school author talk about superheroes and looking after the planet. Me: Who are your heroes? Kid 😃☝️: Michael Phelps and Poseidon!! Three guesses what his favourite thing to do is ☺️

Also - our preferential voting system is a beautiful thing to be defended to the death. Forget any “optional preference” etc or worse. A system where everyone’s vote matters is glorious

Central Coasties! Join me at this FREE Family Fun Day as part of Words on the Waves Writers Festival for some STINKIN' BLINKIN' SCIENCE! 🧠 🌏 12.55-1.25pm Sunday 1st June Peninsula Recreation Precinct, Umina Beach More info: wordsonthewaves.com.au/family-fun-d...

Paul Keating has commented on Ed Husic’s exclusion from the new Albanese ministry, making the point that it’s showing contempt for the Muslim community who supported Labor

To Western media, Is it time now to use the term 'genocide' or 'ethnic cleansing'? As we watch the definition of these words play out live in front of our eyes? What is the use of these words if we only speak them to diagnose a disease once the body is already dead from it.

“I asked ChatGPT,” well I asked your mom and she said you’ve always been a disappointment

Wish granted.

Ready for my first author talk for Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival schools program! I'll be talking to kids from around the region over the next 5 days about renewables, fossil fuels and super heroes!

I'm so happy women are breaking the glass ceiling of who gets to be annoying and out of touch in space. This is no longer a hobby just for men and I find that truly inspiring ❤️🙌

Peter Dutton says he'll never stand in front of an Aboriginal flag as prime minister. I think we should make his wish come true by not allowing him to be PM. You're welcome, Peter. #auspol

See you soon, Margaret River!! Kids (young and old), join me on Saturday May 3 for a FREE event at Margaret River Readers & Writers Festival! 12pm in the Storytelling Snug (sounds wholesome!) Register here: mrrwfestival.com/tickets/54-h... #author #childrensbooks #climatechange

Imagine if this "debate" we are about to see on housing included comments from parties proposing the most potentially impactful housing policies instead of just the two majors. We have a preferential system. We need to know our preferences beyond the two major parties. Let's act like it. #auspol

Let's remember to defend our preferential voting system always! I worry about the majors seeing how powerful preferences are as the myths around 'wasted votes' subside... #auspol

Maths! What is it good for? Apparently heaps of stuff... I'm going to ask this panel all about it in our STEM + X webinar with @careerswithstem.bsky.social and QUT! This panel is perfect for students, parents, teachers, careers advisers... anyone curious! careerswithstem.com.au/maths-webina...

Nurses in Australia pay more tax than gas companies. If the person you're voting for isn't going to fix this picture, consider not voting for them. Me? I'm voting greens because none of the fossil fuel-funded majors are putting people above fossil fuel billionaires.

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving. Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

Look mate... I don't wanna hear about "deextincting" animals that haven't been around for 10k years when we have so many animals going extinct right now that we could help. The red wolf (Canis rufus) for example is critically endangered. Now THAT'S a dire* wolf. *in dire need of help.

I'm so excited to be a Camp 4Science mentor at the AFO 60th International Festival of Science Documentary Films! I'll also be talking about comedy for climate communications in the festival's public program! #scicomm #documentary #science #climate afo.cz/en/camp-4sci...

Would love to see Adam Bandt able to weigh in to share the Greens policies and stances. These American style debates just reinforce the idea we have a two party system when we don't. #auspol

For all those Australian organisations who took Trump’s election as a signal to dump DEI: Dutton is gonna lose an election because he didn’t support DEI

Aussies! It's double software upgrade time! Got my flu and covie shots at the same time today which will cover me for the sniffly season ahead. The pharmacist was talking about what a horror viral season we're already in so get on down and do it. (No I'm not getting a tatt just waiting for a mate)

Find out how your views align with political party policies. Thoughts and prayers for anyone who does this and realises they are out of step with a party they rusted onto. May you have the strength of character to change your vote to align with your values 🙏❤️ www.abc.net.au/news/vote-co...

“Science was a natural thing for me to be interested in as a farm kid.” 🐄🚜🧠 Sure was! This article is a lovely overview of how I got here and where I'm going... Even my alter-ego Milton Mango gets a look in! 🤠 #scicomm #climate

I got an award 😭 and it gives me the opportunity to talk even MORE about climate change! reporter.anu.edu.au/all-stories/...

Australian media stop reporting on the election like there are only two parties in this race challenge.

I made the mistake of posting on a video app about my rental increase frustrations and got into a "not all landlords" chat. Inspiring stuff. Really made me think... 💀🥲

The Venn diagram of people who will tell young people looking for a job to take their resume into places and ask and people who tell you to simply say no to a rental increase and threaten to move out is a circle. It's a circle labelled "Boomer who owns their own home."

Whilst I have never had a mortgage of my own, I have extensive experience in helping landlords pay off their mortgages.

Another rent increase. Wonderful. Love it. Same apartment, higher cost, cost of living crisis.

We are recruiting for a Research Fellow based at The Australian National University! Undertaking research to investigate small scale atmospheric and oceanic processes and their role in setting the mean state. Applications close on Sunday 20 April. - www.21centuryweather.org.au/about-us/pos...

A motivator for writing 'How to Save the Whole Blinkin' Planet' was seeing fossil fuel companies infiltrating #STEM education spaces and sci museums. Kids deserve edu free from fossil fuels companies using them for good PR while selling their futures up the river. commsdeclare.org/2025/02/05/p...

This sadly doesn't surprise me. What always disappoints me is that institutions supposed to be all about science would allow a corporation to censor them like this about an issue so crucial to the survival of humanity.

I love school libraries ❤️

I don't understand Australians who clutch pearls about the potential of minority gov. Do they realise LNP govs we've had over the last decade have all been minority govs whereby neither the Lib or Nat party could govern alone? I'd prefer vote for minors and indies that aren't fossil fuel funded.

They can't be THAT big, my guy...

Happy Climate Action Week Sydney! May our talk lead to action and our action lead to change and our change lead to JUSTICE! #CAWSydney

What can I say... I'm an artist

I've had these saved on my phone for so long, they make me smile every time I open my gallery. @constababble.bsky.social

I'm now a 'Booked Out' speaker! If you are a librarian or teacher and would like to book me for an author talk with students, get in touch! Looking forward to more opportunities to empower young people by talking about climate change, enviro problems AND SOLUTIONS. bookedout.com.au/find-a-speak...

If you need to be sexist, racist, ableist, homophobic or transphobic to do your "comedy" then consider perhaps you actually aren't that good at comedy.

I think we should have reading leave. I need to take a week off for just reading books I've been meaning to read.

FYI we met 3 greyhounds of different colours at the park today and their names were Rhonda, Kevin and Stephanie.
