Red listing of Emperor penguins and Antarctic fur seals 🐧🦭 This is on our watch people - but yeah let’s keep having wars and mining fossil fuels . We can do better !!

I am getting a lot of questions about whether Trump's threats alone are illegal. The answer is yes. 1. First, Additional Protocol I states “Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.” (also DOD LOW Manual §5.2.2) 1/

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Wanna know WHY a Seven journalist is pretending that renewables are pushing up energy prices? Oh that’s right… Seven Group own fossil fuel assets and want to exploit more of them.

A must read from Iran👇🏽😔

“But he is protected by rich people, I don’t understand how this could happen “🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know - maybe follow the law? Serious allegations should be tested in a court of law.

Killing a civilisation is a war crime. Threatening it is obscene. No country that does this is a worthy ally or friend of Australia. The world needs to respond with action to prevent these crimes.

This is the most insane day ever, so thought I would share something good- out walking when a flock of over 100 corellas flew overhead and then all landed in a tall cypress tree - looked like an amazing animated Christmas tree 🌲

Record high ocean temperatures are back across the North Pacific when looking at March 2026 in the historical record for that month. This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every March from 1854-2026 using NOAA ERSSTv5 data (psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded...).

That’s unmistakably genocidal talk. www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

The exhaust from numerous rocket launches could soon affect the precariously recovering ozone layer. And spacecraft pollute more when they’re done and burn up in the atmosphere. Read all about it in my new piece for Undark magazine: undark.org/2026/04/06/a...

Long-term studies are vital to understanding how species and ecosystems are responding to climate change and other environmental stressors, but difficult to sustain under typical short-term grant cycles. LTER has been funding these since 1980. This is breaking something that can’t be replaced.

NSF LTER program “archived”. LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”. This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings. My heart is breaking.

The LTER program is recognised globally as a most amazing example of foresight in ecological studies - so much has been achieved in this program. It is criminal and ‘stone age’ thinking to close this down 😡

This why I like 🦋👇🏽

Hi Dana, thanks for all the wee stories. How smashing to have spent time on the Macquarie Is, I'm very jealous😁 We had one very lost Royal penguin living among the Gentoo penguins took some many photos as fell in love with him/her..it left a few days after it molted..

A king penguin story. I was tasked with collecting invertebrates under beach rocks on subantarctic Macquarie Is. I began just below a field hut. Engrossed, I moved slowly from rock to rock. I reached to the next rock and saw feet, many feet 1/

What this war has going for it is 29 nations have now declared states of emergency, rationing, or controls on food, fuel, and fertilizer and the world food program just put a quarter of 1 billion people on the endangered list. It’s already on schedule to outpace any man-made catastrophe since WWII

Another sharp editorial @thesaturdaypaper.com.au, this on @albomp.bsky.social limp judgement; “He takes too long to make a decision & when he finally does the decision he makes is too weak…He weathers all the opprobrium of indecision & then, in eventually acting, reminds everyone of his inadequacy

The butterfly effect

Cherry blossoms in Japan.

“Trump’s budget proposal, offered during the war, amounts to this: the wealth of working Americans will be transferred to oligarchs and defense contractors, and the government will no longer provide basic services” #warmongers #WarmingersInc

👇🏽 imagination of the possible is a very healthy outlook to take @timothysnyder.bsky.social delivers again - must read. Spelling out options so they are not a surprise if they become reality is an excellent strategy for remaining sane.

If I have identified correctly there are only 4 women (all red) in this image. I wonder what that means 🤔 I have to admit I do not know tts gender behind catturd🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s not as if we haven’t been warned decades ago about the risk of melting the permafrost 😡

One should refuse to become a rhinoceros

Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

So the Easter bunny came about through bad biology 😲🐰🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇 I suppose it was obvious- rabbits don’t lay eggs

“He said the forest in which the recordings were made had already been cleared by the time the government ecologist arrived. “Of course there were no parrots by then,”

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

My debut cookbook comes out later this year. It’s 50 recipes for small batch breads made with 1 cup of flour and is available for pre-order now! 💕 smallbatchbreads.com

This Reddit post is formatted like a joke but it’s actually a very dry recitation - at times, direct quotes - of America’s public war strategy over the last month. This can’t go on. This is deranged. Impeach and imprison.

So terrifying. If the entire world doesn't react as one soon and stop this madman, we are as much fools as those who support him. There can be no compromise.

1/ Goldman Sachs analysts report that the biggest oil crisis in history is about to hit globally, with profound and highly destructive consequences. A new report asks ""Are We Running Out of Oil?", and concludes that the answer is yes. ⬇️

Joseph certainly delivers an acute assessment of geopolitics that puts legacy media to shame. And with a catchy hook too! Bonus!

This👇🏽. FYI- Joseph Tawadros is an Egyptian-born Australian award-winning multi-instrumentalist and oud virtuoso😎

Trump’s proposed swingeing budget cuts for every branch of science has been described as an “extinction level event for science”. Looks like he’s taking the US back to the Stone Age too, only without the bombing,

#DailyGlimmer update on these two love birds. The hook up produced a joey that has been scooting around the yard for some time now. First time mum has been very successful in getting her baby through a dry summer. 1/

On the washing line. I’ll have it framed this week.

Hard to imagine why we have wars And why we don’t have pedestrian streets and bike parties every Sunday just to celebrate the unlikeliness of it all 💕

Sorry to mention climate change here but we're all scurrying around in a thin film of atmosphere shared between all of us and we shouldn't overheat the thing keeping us alive!!

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA
