To be clear— I don't hate Jews, nor Judaism. I DO hate: genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, racism, Zionism, ethnosupremacy, white supremacy and settler-colonial 'occupation'. And therefore: Israel has my ire. Not Jews. Not Judaism. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Ooh I can’t wait!

This is Monty and Charlie. Monty's back legs are paralyzed. But that doesn't mean he can't race his brother on walks. 14/10 for both (TT: amqzak)

Starve people and then play target practice. Fucking horrific.

If you just want to hit the repost button - the artist is on bluesky.

The Israeli government is depraved. It's deliberately starving and murdering children. The world, and Australia, must make a stronger stand with sanctions. The people of Australia demand it.

It's GENOCIDE, Ed—not a catastrophe. Is anyone still waiting for an ICJ determination before naming the Armenian genocide? Do we pretend the Jewish Holocaust didn't happen because there wasn't an ICJ determination? Name it. GENOCIDE. Committed by ISRAEL. #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

Nicely said.

@birdmichael.bsky.social Another one for your help please! I think these are Brown Thornbills enjoying my birdbath but someone else thinks they’re Striated Thornbills. What is your expert opinion? (Location: Chum Creek, Vic)

#GVerse This is the greatest cooking show ever🤣🤣🤣

Holidaying in Tasmania (I know, it’s awful, don’t come here) and rapt to visit @kudelka.bsky.social shop! Even found a jigsaw featuring my favourite bird.

@birdmichael.bsky.social please help! What are these ducks? Are they hardheads? Location: Albury Wetlands walk

I don't need history to prove me right because I am fully capable of judging right from wrong now, in real time. Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. It is threatening people with ethnic cleansing by forced removal as the BEST case scenario or complete annihilation.

MEMO TO: @australia.theguardian.com These Palestinians are HOSTAGES. Palestinians have been HELD HOSTAGE by Israel in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israeli prisons for 76 years and counting. Please stop whitewashing Israel's many crimes against humanity. #auspol #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

In The Age today. If you can't get the editorial parts of the paper to acknowledge this reality, at least you can buy an ad.

I’d actually forgotten this. Suspect others may have too. Can as many people as possible please share this so we never forget?

If everything in the world is just awful, take a minute to admire this kangaroo happily slurping from my dog’s old water bowl.

Richard Marles flew to Israel and shook the hand of the man that said " Raping Palestinian prisoners to death is holy work"

@birdmichael.bsky.social help please! This small bird was spotted today at Cobram along the river. We think it’s a honeyeater but which one? TIA

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

It is disgraceful that instead of promoting international law, Australia’s top law officer is trying to repair relations with a foreign government found by major human rights organisations to be committing genocide. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Too late to leave now for Mafeking - emergency take shelter immediately warning now in place. In the past week our Environment Minister approved another four monster coal mines that will make climate change worse and turbo charge fires like this that threaten to wipe communities off the map.

This is an actual Australian *Christmas Tree*.

Help get rid of this major polluter

As a Jewish woman living in Australia, I am far more likely to be attacked and murdered by a pathetic little man who feels somehow slighted than I am in danger of any antisemitic attack. The imbalance in the responses to almost 100 dead women is very telling. #auspol

No nation state is above criticism. You can criticise Israel's actions and policies without it being anti-semitic. It does not make Jewish people safer by conflating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.

Australia’s Voice senator Fatima Payman has accused political leaders of a “double standard” after an Islamic college school bus was set on fire in Adelaide “There’s no outrage, there’s no pledges of support…why the double standard?” “Not all hate is treated equally”

Why is anti-Semitism being privileged over all other discrimination, & the horrific murderous violence against women in this country?

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋

And so it begins.

I’ve signed. Please do the same…

What possible argument could anyone have to vote against Palestinians having the rights to their own resources. 🤷‍♂️ Aside from racism I mean. #auspol

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
