I only found this out in the last couple of years and it still blows me away. Biology is far too magical and enormous to be confined in rigid boundaries.

never forget humans co-evolved with yeast (a fungus) these critters had mycelial networks before the Internet was a gleam in our eye eating more fungus, in food and as yeast supplements, has been crucial in my health recovery 🙌 I love these freaky little bastards, they're artists too. look at em

the thing is tho fr the world is going to be better then you can possibly imagine once we're through this and capitalism is finally over

Australian Gothic. You can sometimes *hear* the lock snapping shut on the memories we're forbidden to speak of. The land soaked in blood where people enjoy footy and BBQs and if you disturb them you'll find out just what they're capable of.

You know, Australia is really a shining example of the suffocating, strangulating effect that colonialism has everywhere it goes

If you're in Melbourne and into chest binding for Gender Reasons, there's a free binding workshop at TransGender Victoria's Lygon Street Affirmation Station next week. 5.30pm Thu Apr 16. Free, but you have to book. events.humanitix.com/chest-bindin...

*leans on cane* Your aunt speaks the truth, bizarre as it may seem.

This tweet is a fucking roller coaster of ideas (Contact Maddison, she’ll make you loads of money)

'The Grace Tame Foundation has announced it is closing because securing funding is becoming "increasingly challenging" ... In March, Ms Tame said she had lost speaking engagements, something she attributed to an "ongoing smear campaign" against her ... > www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

[food] Tantalus stole ambrosia. Sun Wukong gorged on heavenly peaches. What will my punishment be for tasting the most sacred holy of the gods?

If trans people can get gender surgery at will, cis women will be able to get their tubes tied, and hysterectomies, at will too.

Anti-Trans bigotry is such a strong force because Trans people represent a movement towards bodily autonomy that would violate everything the fascists hold dear. The fascists don't want anyone to get to make choices about their bodies. Trans healthcare is a slap in the face to patriarchal control.

This is Tongue Dissolver, or at least their percussionist and lead vocalist. They play sort of metallic electronic rave music. tonguedissolver.net/home tonguedissolver.bandcamp.com www.fbi.radio/articles/alb...

I hate how they're framing her as a "Bondi Nanny" as opposed to "confidant of secret policemen"

Also, Maddison is insightful and cool to work with.

I will never use a filter labelled "Warhol". I have been to one exhibition of his work twenty years ago and that was enough to show me that he used hundreds of techniques, not the one or two usually shown in filter packs. (I understand he's also moral garbage?)

Even as a fairly selfish teenager it seemed like common sense that housework should be waged.

Honestly my only hope is that the US military is ready to defy the elected head of state. Which is…not good. The current alternative is much much worse.

This is exactly what a horror writer should look like.

I don't think I could make a joke better than this

He looks like he makes TikToks telling you how not to get shanked in prison

an offshoot from a longer thread you probably should read but it's also important to note that anybody doing this always comes after a wave or two of trans women politely talking about what the problem is, getting ignored, then other trans women coming in being cruel cos they're angry about it...

(As Kendra knows, GE owned NBC, the network that broadcast the story that avoids blaming GE, until 2013)

Have you seen toads crawling?? This rotund gentleman did not want to do the hops off the road tonight so went for the fast crawl instead. Although he did get blocked when he veered toward going under the car…. Stay chonky, my dude. #herps

It's so quiet it feels like today is a public holiday too.

Lol remember that Australian guy in 2020 who went viral being glad Trump had been defeated but he was actually a US actor? He got his flawless Aussie accent from bingeing Australia's Next Top Model

Before becoming the fantastic designer we know, Ron Cobb (Alien, Total Recall, The Last Starfighter, Aliens, Back to the Future, The Abyss, Rocketeer, Space Truckers, Firefly...) was a cartoonist in the late 1960s. With the same talent.

The idea that we do not ALREADY have distributed community grids sharing as much home-generated power as is possible to extract is absolutely ridiculous. In Australia we live in a famously sunny country!

I can still remember the day we heard Rudd was going to make a special announcement and it turned out BRS was getting the Victoria Cross. Maybe he should have stayed in cover.

Mayyyybe you could make a case that the age when you had to sit down at a computer to go Online was better than the Age of Screens. (I don’t really believe it, but it’s arguable) But life without internet? When weird people had no community that wasn’t through mail or direct personal contact? Ugh!

so much this. HRT is good for everyone.

Bloody hell! Its the nurses who make or break your daily care! If you're in hospital for a while it's not the doctors watching you from hour to hour, it's the nurses. (I've not ever been in ICU but I HAVE had a 4-month stay in hospital with a broken knee)
