Coupla little (dry) dudes this morning.

This came up as a featured photo on my phone from last August - a real tonic on such a cold, wet, bleak day!

We all belong.

I have always said I would never permanently leave this continent but if one nation win the next election I will seriously consider migrating to Aotearoa. I will also seriously consider losing everything to fight. No to fascism

Thursday Woke up with a razor blade throat at midnight 😞 Happy birthday to my mum. OT assistant has made sure she has 🥓 bacon in lunch group today. Also I say she's 69 but my niece immortalised her at 61 with this recurring calendar event 8 years ago 🗓️

a few hours ago, a judge in wisconsin ruled that everlee wihongi's 2014 marijuana charge has been vacated. this means ICE now have *zero* legal grounds to keep her detained. please RT, and thanks for carting about this story: www.webworm.co/hugewin/

Fun fact the higher dose for prostate cancer will continue to be sold www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Morning (“sun” is behind those clouds), Thursday, 11 June, from Wainui Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand. Ata mārie / Good Morning ☀️

Hmmm which party should get my vote? I know! The one who couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery.

The AUKUS secret: How AU risks becoming part of the US–Israel war machine. The submarine debate may have been a distraction. Behind it lies a deeper military integration that could entrap AU into Israel’s forever wars* www.newpolitics.com.au/p/the-aukus-... *Already betrayed by its political classes

It’s so wild that we are dependent on the grieving families of recently dead and maimed people for leadership right now Jesus Christ

“I promise you, God willing, that I will attend the next one,” he said as hundreds of supporters at the airport waved the Somali flag. A small bit of positivity in an otherwise terrible story. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I may be a lot of things, according to Tommy Robinson, but one thing I'm not is a traitor.

One thing that stops me from deleting my Twitter account is the fact that it's all written down. A seemingly 'normal' world. The growing clamour. The window shifting. The ground moving beneath our feet. The hum of hate increasing. I'm nobody special - but I saw it, I recorded it. It's something.

AI animal videos are ruining one of the internet's last good things: defector.com/ai-animal-vi...

❌The SciArt Community I built with the Communities feature on Twitter had over 20,000 followers. I nuked the whole thing after Musk did the Nazi salute. 🦋The SciArt Feed here on Bluesky has 4,500 Likes, and 1,600 approved contributors and is #35 in Top Feeds. No regrets. 🐡

Sorry, I was away working all day But I'm a moon-driven photographer, are you? So it's time to post #moon #forest #Silhouette #scape against the Waxing Gibbous moon #storytelling #luiscordobapharchive #eastcoastkin #art #photographer #moonrise visit my 🔝📷collection▶️ bsky.app/profile/did:...

It’s bad that people don’t feel ashamed of being bigoted anymore.

Born on the top of a mountain, the little spring dances her way down... Peace is a constant cycle, flowing and returning, just as the clouds gather to feed the spring once more, flowing and returning #spring #water #flow #calm #scape #peaceful #luiscordobapharchive #picoftheday #landscape #art

I posted about this before. Delthia has a new post on the topic. Trust your doctor, not the podcast anti-vax, misinformation-spreading moron.

All buses are stopping in Belfast after 5pm and no trains after 6pm. Get yourself home folks.

I know we need more public housing but we also need to improve the public housing we do have. Currently I’ve been a week without hot water I reported my water heater wasn’t working on the 2nd

Three fatalities on SA roads include woman hit by garbage truck at Modbury Heights

I am honored to collaborate with leading African scientists and public health officials on the Ebola outbreak. In our article published in The Lancet, we discuss the challenges and priorities for epidemic preparedness and response. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Not sure I want to hear what Bess Price, mother of Jacinta Price and alleged fraudster has to say on this issue.

As a support worker of many years, I see the direct impact on clients and their families. The stress, injuries, exhaustion and illness that comes from not only having inadequate funding but being subjected to constant systems trauma when dealing with bureacracy

I can vouch that if you raise this subject directly with the ringleaders of these groups they will quite literally roll their eyes and scoff at you because they quite proudly do not actually give a shit. Their priority is racism and always will be.

Now this govt is just plain evil for its own sake. www.rnz.co.nz/news/communi...

I have to say, listening to the Today programme dedicate an entire (context free) section about whether migrants are more likely to be convicted criminals *the morning after* hundreds of non-migrants of my own ethnicity committed a pogrom is blood boiling.

Note that family violence (incl violence towards children) goes 📈 during times of economic stress. Kibblewhite is proposing to cut services when they will be more in demand, not less. And he's lying about it. How do these people sleep at night? #nzpol

First time in my life I’m kind of ashamed of having Irish ancestry.

Important piece debunking NDIS fraud claims. Disabled Australians deliberately screwed by known BS. Sickening. thepoint.com.au/news/260604-...

I am so depressed.

NDIS cuts could create unsafe environments and domestic violence risks, inquiry warned

anyone else going insane

Remember kids if you only toast 1 side of the bread you can save up to $6 a year

"the minister has just decided that everyone’s funding for social, economic and community participation is to be cut by 25%...any future health minister can cut by up to 99% without any need for legislation. That’s a cruel hell of a law." @grogsgamut.bsky.social www.deepcutnews.com/p/health-min...

“Some are mothers who’ve fled arranged marriages & international students who would rather die of shame than tell their families. They are homeless, like Bikram Lama..His death outside St James train station has shone a light on an invisible situation taking place” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Iwi-led and Māori-led initiatives were delivering positive results across the country. "If we know these approaches are making a difference, why aren't we investing in them consistently across the motu rather than through isolated pockets of funding?" Couldn't it be systemic racism by any chance?

Labour to out-National, National? #nzpol

I keep getting recommended the mimi blankets on facebook and I'm sorry but that word does NOT translate well to a NZ context (mimi is the te reo Māori word for wee/urine)

What I have learned tonight: - Vic Health policy is 365 days for a routine initial appointment when a referral is accepted - Vic specialist departments don’t formally track days between a referral being accepted and appointment date being scheduled, for the purposes of state gvt data metrics

Wednesday To the hospital to see mum
