hearing the U.S. and Israel talk about a ceasefire with Iran is weirdly similar to listening to my friend with seven children explain the pull-out method

The beneficial science-social feedback loop, during the Hawke-to-Keating yrs, was on a good trajectory. However, changes for human, animal & environmental health absolutely meant curtailing the processes & the *immediate* profits of est.d businesses. HOWARD REVERSED EVERYTHING for the businesses.

Well, it’s Pride month, so let’s celebrate the 195th anniversary of the birth of Amelia Edwards, ghost story writer, poet, novelist, pioneering traveller, Egyptologist, campaigner for the preservation of ancient stuff, and someone who “formed emotional attachments almost uniquely with women” 🧵

I do so enjoy being able to languidly submit unto a conversation [not any conversation, of course - how gauche] that it was the Carthaginians who named Spain. It makes me feel all worldly and as if I'm doing my bit. 🤓🏆

House rule: anything that makes crunchy noises must be presented to Dany for a thorough examination.

This is beyond disgraceful and reflects an intention for the regulatory system to be business as usual: prioritising industry influence and profits over Australians’ health. WE pick up the pieces.

someone on Twitter once posted a breakdown showing how many gay men died of AIDS in various districts of Florida, overlaid with how many votes Gore lost those districts by in 2000, and I've genuinely never been okay since. there literally would have been no George W. if those men were still with us

a lot of men do NOT like having this pointed out to them

really good piece of writing, and a privileged insight into how Parliament works - or doesn't

A beautiful sunny winter's morning is the perfect time to catch these amazing male Bird of Paradise flies (Callipappus sp) flitting about in search of a female. Despite their common name, these are not actually flies but a species of scale insect. #ausinverts #wildoz #inaturalist #bugsky #inverts

thank you for saying this, Birmo ❤️

The Noongar season of Makuru swept in with a bang last weekend with one of the strongest storms Western Australia has seen for decades 💨🌧️ The good drenching of rain we had will certainly help those winter and spring flowers along though 🌿 #ozflora #wildoz #nativeplants #inaturalist

Good morning team!

A joyful anniversary today, because it’s 31 years since Kees Moeliker witnessed “the first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard” when a duck flew into the glass wall of his museum, dying instantly. Violent death, however (as you may have surmised) was not the final indignity visited upon it

Bloody hell. I saw Anthony Head doing Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror in the West End in 1990, when he was still (to me) just that guy from the coffee advert, and he was wonderful. Fuck’s sake, Death. Look at the list we sent
