Because of the marathon, all the cars traffic is essentially gone from Berlin city center right now and it's *so nice*

Living Streets Canberra will be at the Kambah Spring Sustainable Fair located at the Diversity Hub today between 10am and 2:30pm. Come say hi. 📍 8 Laidlaw Pl, Kambah #canberra #livingstreets #betterstreets

It is wild that the 000 outage on Thursday went for 13 hours undetected. Optus needs to find out not only how it happened, but how it went for a long time without them noticing. Surely logging and alerts should have picked something up. #australia #emergency #tripple0 #optus

If path closures is an impact to you in Canberra, it is worth noting that it would appears that the Property Council had lobbied ACT Government and Chris Steel to either delay or not proceed with the fees for path closures in the ACT. Their […] [Original post on mstdn.matthewmcgranahan.me]

Hubby is waiting for a tram on NB and snapped this picture of a car in Canberra. Man, some people are so lost in life. #auspol #canberra #israel #charliekirk

Australian children are being fed videos of Kirk's shooting through algorythms on social media platforms. Children told the ABC that they wished they hadn't seen it […]

I would also say, in a land of the second amendment, a land of keeping armed, attacking people for who they are is erronous. When you see and hear what Kirk has said before, I am not surprised that his death is the outcome. I am not saying that he was deserving. But what I am saying is that if […]

The Utah's governor is wrong. Words can be violent. This is why we need to be careful of the words we use. Kirk has used violent words. https://x.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1626672143617384472 That's not to say that the response is physical violence. But to pretend that words don't have real […]

I have been through out the day taking in thoughts and the situation regarding Kirk's death. I can't emphasis for him, but I have empathy for others affected. Who I have empathy for the most, is Americans. It seems to me that all Americans are processing what has happened while their society is […]

Whoa. Trump says Charlie Kirk is dead after being shot at Utah university event #gunviolence https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/live-updates-shooting-charlie-kirk-event-utah-rcna230437

The name change really sets it for me that the gap is growing between the US and Aus when it comes to values. I have expressed as such to my local member, because the government would have us believe that things are BAU. I do believe it is time for Australia to accept that our relationship is […]

Man, it is a little embarrassing to be Australian at times, and today is one of them. Today is just a display of stupidity and hate. #auspol

#fascist rally in #canberra. Well met by counter protesters. Now they are crawling off the APH. #auspol #marchforaustralia

I'm hearing that there were more police than neonazi/sovcit protestors at the Canberra protests. Apparently Pauline made a showing as well. #auspol #canberra #protest #neonazi #sovcit

Samantha Maiden (newscorp) willing to give the member of Kennedy a free pass on his behaviour of threatening journalist during a press conference because his mother died is honestly shocking. Again, there is no excuse for threatening journalist, and it is highly damaging for democracy. The […]

Dr Hobbs said many sovereign citizens saw guns as a way to "protect themselves" against "malicious, wicked forces" […]

I am seeing a few stories this morning regarding gun ownership surging in Australia. I will be interested in reading it later, but thinking about recent stories on conspiracy theory groups and what is happening in Porepunkah, I would really be interested in seeing if there is a link with the […]

I've emailed my MP and senators today about the Member of Kennedy. Threats against journalists is never ok. #auspol

Hmmmm, when the ABC reports that the protests in Canberra are "significantly smaller" than the protests in Brisbane and other cities, it only further builds further distrust in the ABC. It is worth noting that the protest in Canberra has been growing in numbers. This should be the focus of the […]

Good crowd for National Day of Action for #palestine in Canberra.

The cop yelling at me today while I was taking photos. She wasn't happy that I was standing on the guard rail and leaning against the bridge railing to take photos from up higher. #canberra #palestine #gaza #protest

Living Streets Canberra's next meeting is on Tuesday. We will be planning a "walkshop" in this meeting. If you are interested in participating, please register for our meeting. https://livingstreets.org.au/event/26-august-2025-meeting/ #livingstreets #betterstreets

If you are wondering why pro palestian people are rather distrusting of Australian news media, here is an example of why. Shameful. https://youtu.be/exSr2Lh0sQg?si=4NFdLvSJiL4dzZuI #auspol #gaza #palestine #israel #newsmedia #journalist

NOTHING BURGER! Eight months in office has led to NOTHING for the Trump regime. Putin to continue bombing Ukraine's cities Trump to continue TO DO NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE to convince Putin to stop his murder of Ukrainians! Putin received great prestige from […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

My problem with this is if it would actually get used. What I know from pedestrian activity is, pedestrians will find the easiest, quickest and most convenient way to walk. I would expect this to be especially true of teenagers. So if we built a pedestrian bridge, would it get used, or would […]

Huge turnout for Gaza in Canberra today. #auspol #gaza #palestine #israel

Australia is at the crossroads now. Are we going to continue to be soft on this issue, or are we going to start taking action now? Let's be clear, Israel will continue on the path it is on. It has shown no change in how it behalves at any point. Israel will take Gaza City, and countries like […]

We just released Mastodon 4.4.3, 4.3.11, and 4.2.24. These versions contain bugfixes, and a fix for a security issue if you use SAML. In 4.4.3 there are also changes to how quote posts are handled, as we continue to work towards full support for quote posts in the next main release. Full […]

90,000 on the Bridge today?! Despite the weather! Fantastic. Cops congratulating themselves, not a mention of the well behaved 90,000. #bridgewalk #palestine #auspol

today this will become a symbol of protest against #Genocide. #sydney

Was in Sydney for the past two days working with my new co-workers. But it is nice to be back in Canberra.
