Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Happy #LibSpill Day for those who celebrate.

Albanese’s Waterloo isn’t electoral. It’s existential. Herzog’s visit crystallises the wound: a Prime Minister who’d rather host a figure the UN accuses of inciting genocide than lead his nation’s conscience against one.

"Switzerland’s military has terminated its contract with Palantir… following a security audit… concluded that U.S. intelligence agencies could potentially access sensitive Swiss defense data… significant reputational warning for the data analytics firm" www.newscase.com/palantirs-sw... #R4Today

Really delighted to see my university make this move. There could be no more appropriate place for the journal. 📔

Jewish Australians are Australian. Conflating Judaism with Zionism, an ethnonationalist ideology, and buying into the far right Israeli government's belief that the global Jewish population are Israel citizens before anything else, will only deepen the divisions #auspol seeks to heal.

The billionaire “said all planning and execution of the campaign, which was dominated by anti-China and anti-climate change messages, was carried out in close consultation with then-finance minister Mathias Cormann.” www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

i normally avoid post-apocalyptic storylines but this series shows the potential of a world built on care and community even after everything has fallen to pieces, which arguably is the kind of thinking we need right now more than ever. so much love ❤️‍🔥

Education savings plans look prudent. But their rise points to a deeper problem – declining confidence in public education as a guaranteed public good, driven by chronic underinvestment in the school system, writes John Frew. #auspol #education #PublicEducation #SchoolFunding

The United States far right interfered in the 2019 election Just as @vanbadham.bsky.social & I suggested during our podcasts There were ads about “death taxes” taken from Bannon run Florida campaigns that only had the party or candidate names changed www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The Epstein files have shown just how cheap and disposable other humans are to these people. Their wealth and power has facilitated their worst instincts without consequence, they abuse and murder without consequence, they lie and lie about it without consequence. I've never been so disgusted.

Newly released documents reveal UK politician Peter Mandelson wrote to Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 about a campaign against the Rudd government's proposed mining super profits tax. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02... #auspol

“Industry lobby group Coal Australia donated more than $5 million to third-party campaigns that attacked Labor, the teals, and Greens under the guise of grassroots groups.” www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance. They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along. They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

Gregory Ashe and Cole Mccade are similar types of queer crime writers. I like how they are merciless about forcing the reader to confront the flaws in criminal justice. I actually like them both a lot as writers but sometimes wish they were a little more relenting sometimes.

A president who combines hostility with intellectual emptiness isn’t just controversial...he’s structurally dangerous. It’s hard to tell which is more alarming: the policies or the lack of comprehension behind them.

I'll keep quietly pushing back on fascism here by stating things as simply and calmly as possible because rage and ignorance is too useful to these assholes. In any case, fascists hate human rights because human rights get in the way of them exploiting a population for their own gain. #auspol

1. In a major new federal rule, Trump is attempting to attach billions in international aid to recipients agreeing to impose anti-trans restrictions. This includes social transition "at any age," attempting to export transphobia globally. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Carney: "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

Yo, that pop up about the new terms of service, god damn. They are getting straight to business. Fascists are really good at ruining every little good or widely used thing and twisting it into a tool to push their vile agenda. I loved TikTok, but I recommend getting rid of it ASAP.

Honestly, this is just how I imagine billionaire business moguls still operate behind closed doors: youtube.com/shorts/dKwvq...

We are already in a world war. Economic warfare is still warfare. We are simply not the ones dying yet. This is why governments are acting as they are. Being careful, remaining as neutral as possible until they can't. What I appreciate about Carney is he accepted this from the beginning. #auspol

A YouTube link for those looking for it. No words. youtu.be/btqHDhO4h10?...

One conversation I don't think the world is ready for is how rooted in Christianity white supremacy actually is. It's a large pillar in the foundation that built white nationalism. Purity of mind. Purity of being. Purity of body. Purity of culture and society. And missionaries went everywhere.

Mark Carney: "Stop invoking the “rules-based international order” as though it still functions as advertised. Call the system what it is: a period where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as a weapon of coercion."

“We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.”

A great episode to help you process. #auspol pca.st/episode/782f...

The prologue of Kingdom Come: Deliverance is long (and replayable through Theresa's eyes) because Skalitz' peace and getting to know its townfolk is centered. So when one powerful person wipes out a silver mining village as a play against another powerful person you feel a fraction of Henry's loss.

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

While Stephen Miller grouses about “woke” Star Trek, I suggest looking past predictable culture war nonsense to see how the newest Trek series might interrogate just what it takes for a galaxy full of different beings to unite around shared values toward a brighter future. https://loom.ly/tYEb0y4

Attempts to silence writers often achieve the opposite: they amplify dissent, expose power without legitimacy, and deepen division, writes Raghid Nahhas. #auspol #FreeSpeech #Writers #PublicDebate #PearlsAndIrritations

the withdrawal from int'l orgs, the assault on the ICC, the wild lawless use of force - and the transformation into a police state in america - this is all one narrative and goal. think of it as destructionism, but it's to empower the already powerful.

this is from early december and i think it needs to be clear to people. this is what the trump/musk/vance et al party wants. destroy europe. whether its tech reg or invading greenland, it's all part of the same objective.

“72% of Australians have little or no confidence in Trump “to do the right thing”, a Lowy Institute poll..found As few as 8% are convinced Australia “shares values” with modern America according to a YouGov pole A plurality.felt the US was an unreliable ally” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I'm going to keep saying "fuck fascism" because fuck fascism. I hope the press knows they were also charged during the Nuremberg trials. I hope it keeps them up at night.

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

The Danish PM saying he wasn't going to sell Greenland citizens to the USA, that they're not slaves for the USA to do with as they want, that they are Danish citizens under his protection— that was nice to hear.

In 1943 Gauleiter Paul Giesler spoke at the Ludwig Maximilian university. Imagine the scene, swastikas everywhere, high ranking nazis who could have you shot for even the slightest 'defeatist' comment, many of the students wearing uniforms as well.

When Giesler, a nasty piece of work, started talking about the female students, saying they shouldn't really waste time in school but become mothers and that if they couldn't find a husband because they were ugly, he'd volunteer some of his men, the students were disgusted.

But even in this nazi society, at a nazi indoctrinated institution, surrounded by nazis, living in a time when the idea that women should indeed just be housewives and not study was actually quite common even among non-nazis, even in this situation, the students protested.
