people are saying the heard and mcdonald islands are just an uninhabited australian territory are underestimating the lengths we will go to for revenge against tariffs levied by the imperialist capitalist american pigdogs

Part two of my year in reflection swimming thread that I rescued from twitter before the end. This is all salt water, and mostly ocean pools. /1

And they say an image is worth a thousand words. #GiselePelicot (don't know the photographer unfortunately, but happy to credit if someone does know)

I watched a pup die from parvo when I was a kid. Horrible way to go. My 1st foster pup came from a rural pound and nearly died of parvo. The rescue org had to fundraise to pay his vet bills. Not vaccinating pets is cruel. Mind you, parvo outbreaks were common in rural pounds years ago too.

My 4 YO pointed out that we put socks on during the day and take them off at night and that means our feet are nocturnal

The most beautiful thing said about coexistence between #Muslims and #Christians in #Syria 💚

🧵 1. The no longer suspended doctor Bay vs AHPRA & the Medical Board! In this thread, I summarise the court’s decision: why Bay is no longer suspended, why his Constitutional argument failed, and what the possible future brings for Dr Bay

Yeah, something about "evidence" that Hamas is present in all hospitals. At least I could block them.

Kept getting these propaganda ads on every thread on Twitter when I briefly went back to check a fave account. This was truly satisfying.

Back in June @kyleatink.bsky.social and I introduced a Bill that would make housing a human right. It had support from former Labor & Liberal politicians. Now the ACT Greens are getting on board. Ensuring everyone has access to a safe, affordable home should be above politics.

Divide or unite? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Sun simulator people shocked, SHOCKED, to discover that the sun is emitting radiation and are looking for someone to blame.

🧵 1. What happens when lawyers behind a failed lawsuit against Pfizer & Moderna accuse the presiding judge of bias because the judge has a science degree and a cousin who once supported medical research? A judicial smackdown of course!

Despite the headline…. “Only Australia arrested climate and environmental protesters at a higher rate than UK police.”

This made me mutter "fucking hell" 10x in a row. My 20yo daughter's pain was dismissed by drs for years before she ended up having emergency surgery to deal with a serious fallopian tube infection. She thinks the Provera injections may have triggered it but feels no one will care to investigate.

This is unsurprising, the misinformation has been spread by groups like Family First and the New Conservatives, and is frequently platformed on Reality Check Radio https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/536159/school-sex-education-plans-derailed-by-misinformation-bigotry-and-threats-of-violence-report

I felt this deeply, but this article definitely gives food for thought. Will have to mull over some of the points made in defence of the screen adaptation for a while. newlinesmag.com/review/one-h...

A brutal regime falls. But there’s a problem: the UN and several countries say the victorious rebels are terrorists. What to do? There’s no playbook for Islamist insurgents faced with the challenges of running a country. But there is a precedent, in Afghanistan. 1/

A lot is happening in Syria. Want to follow along with additional context, local knowledge, and those who witnessed it in real-time? Here’s a starter pack: Syria from 2011 and beyond. go.bsky.app/3ng3Ghq

This is an absolutely incredible example of how, if you ever decide to engage with a right-wing media outlet, *how* you do it almost perfectly. Bravo @risingtideaus.bsky.social!

Syria is the most displaced nation on Earth. 60% of its population - 14M people - forced from their homes by the regime’s brutality. Today, a golden thread has connected cities around the world as the Syrian diaspora gather to celebrate the end of Assad. Here’s a 🧵 of global celebrations 🟢⚪️⚫️ 👇

Yes person on the internet Syrians are aware that everything isn’t perfect and that there are challenges ahead. I think they didn’t need you to tell them that given that it’s been 5 decades of tyranny and no country ever emerged from tyranny without challenges ahead.

Give me your tangential puns, your vaguely confusing anecdotes, your similar tales, yearning to be free. I lift my lamp beside the open replies.

I have watched this at least 100 times over the years and I still laugh every single time. I challenge you to find a more bizarre media statement from any politician anywhere.

One of my fave Australian accounts back at the bad place. Bit of a quiet time for legal stuff rn but their expert reporting on court cases involving antivaxxers, cookers and sovcits is always engaging. bsky.app/profile/expo...

Great thread. It breaks somewhere, I'll share the post that picks up the thread below.

Excited to see some Australian cooker watching content on here. Most of my usual sources have not moved here yet.

This was the plan all along. Free health care is now only for the poorest who are made to suffer for years before they get help.

Woolies has announced that they’re going to try and break the strike again tomorrow (Tuesday 3 December 2024) Please share this around if you can and if you’re able to, please bring yourself and some mates to 2 Portlink drive, Dandenong south at 5am. youtube.com/shorts/wQ0gX...

Woolies is bringing in scab labour to break the strike at the Dandenong South site, so if you’re available, please come along to 2 Portlink Drive, Dandenong South (access via westernport highway) and if u heard the words “hard picket” u didn’t hear them from me. X

Now this is what I'm here for! The comments are hilarious.

Every Sunday, Melbourne stands in the streets in solidarity with Palestine. Ordinary people are less enthusiastic about the sadistic slaughter of the most oppressed people on the planet, by Israel and its Western allies, than the soulless ghouls in the Albanese government are

Healthcare workers were leading the pro-Palestine rally in Melbourne today, chanting "not a target" in solidarity with their colleagues who have been killed, wounded and starved in Gaza.

'Straya

This has been one of my favourite accounts on X for the past year. Please follow and share to give them a reason to move more of their content here. B.M. is just one of those thoroughly decent humans we need more of.

I couldn't find a #FeministIR starter pack, so I took a first rather random stab at it. As I am bound to have missed relevant people (still struggling with the platform), so please let me know if you would like to be added. Apologies in advance. #gender #feminism #IR

I adopted my younger dog nearly a year ago and only discovered today she's really scared of heavy rain. She got in the car but looked miserable and then it was a struggle to persuade her to make the dash back to the front door. She scored a pig's ear so she's fine now. But no walk.

Very educational article. Highly recommend.

Not sure who’s on this platform yet, and it’s very poor for Arabic content so far. But if you’re looking for Syria info, these are all great: @akmckeever.bsky.social @syrianzo.bsky.social @abujamajem.com @ajaltamimi.bsky.social @jeromed.bsky.social And many others. Feel free to add in comments!

I’m super excited to announce I'm part of an amazing team (<3 @williambrady.bsky.social @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social @mjcrockett.bsky.social) that just published a paper in @science.org on the role of outrage in spread of misinformation Link here: science.org/doi/10.1126/... Summary in🧵🔽 1/

Which countries recognised Palestine as a sovereign nation in 2024? aje.io/0ism3g

David Hasselhoff refers to himself as The Hoff because it’s less hassel.

Albanese Gov has deceived Coalition & Australian public with their claim that these 3 anti - refugee and migrants bills will impact only 200 people. The number is 80,000. That’s not a number advocates came up with, that was Home Affairs said last week in Senate Estimates hearing

If you are a patreon member, there is an early release episode on the US election waiting for you.....

In America, they simply shot the virus with assault rifles. Thats why they had so few cases.

Albanese told parliament that he want to make sure "children have a childhood and parents have peace of mind"... and so he is raising the rate of govt assistance to ensure children will not live in pover...oh wait, sorry I am being handed a note...
