I buy peppermint tea from Aldi. It's not very convenient because every single individual tea bag is wrapped in paper for some reason but I can at least just go and buy them from a shop with cash normally. At least until 2024, when they started wrapping each? individual?? teabag???? in […]

RE: https://climatejustice.social/@ketan/116414861325562868 For those in Australia wanting to tax fossil fuels so we can be like Norway, this is Govt owned Equinor in Norway. Is this the future you want, Australia? #auspol #australia

RE: https://bne.social/@phocks/116354130301183725 @Qldaah Since when has Brisbane/QLD not been in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry? There’s your reason, right there. #qldpol

Oh jeez, a new track from Massive Attack! https://youtu.be/L-57FrioeuE Tom Waits' voice perfect for this, to my mind. And that's the percussion from Earth Died Screaming, too, unless I'm mistaken? And good grief that's some great photography by thefinaleye in the video, too. #music

RE: https://aus.social/@mojo/116407507469867036 Why is Australia falling over itself to depend on funding from a source that kills people? Fossil fuels kill 1 in 5 people from emissions alone. What kind of future are you leaving your children with, when every hottest summer is our coldest yet? […]

@thebigjohnnyd.bsky.social Australia's diesel subsidy: Since the fuel tax reforms in 2007, the scheme has cost taxpayers over $122 billion. By 2030, the bill will hit $184 billion. Hey AFR, got another article wanting disabled people dead, instead of fossil fuels, which ARE killing us? #NDIS
