I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

This morning, in the service of unsolicited oversharing — and task-avoidant behaviour — I offer you: my desk.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: URGENT: Call on Penny Wong and your MP to stand up for Australians onboard the Global Sumud Flotilla. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/urge...

Women were likely, as women, to take the next generation’s part, not this one’s; they wove the links men saw as chains, the bonds men saw as bondage.

🆕 I am exceptionally pleased to announce the release of the 'twitter' issue of M/C Journal, which I co-edited with @hermida.bsky.social. This celebrates / commiserates / memorialises / laments the 20th anniversary of what used to be #Twitter. #mcjournal journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mc...

I am so over this timeline. FU , #uqp

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

WHAT SAY YOU, @albomp.bsky.social ?

Interesting campaign

A story. Was at suburban Hammerbarn when a bloke started yelling abuse at the information desk assistants next to me. Immediately hostile, nasty: this is the fifth Bunnings I’ve visited… you’re all fucking arses, etc So I turned and said hey mate thats not her fault, calm down. Control yourself. 1/

Remember, if the Naomi be Klein, you're doing fine, but if the Naomi be Wolf, honey... oooof. Sometimes it is worth popping back to the hellsite for a laugh.

Working from my parents' place today. They have a popular birdbath. Right now, three young wattle birds are taking turns diving in, each time a little further away, at increased velocity... like teenagers diving from a bridge into a river, egging each other a little further, faster, each time.

This is not my screenshot, so I can't say it's true, but how lovely, anyway.

This should become part of the national psyche, alongside the Nutbush, the Farnsy Flash mob. Do it, Sydney!

Snark aside, it is interesting to note how parenthood *derails* all careers, mens just less. This is not just in academia, obvs. Perhaps we are all working in a system that's not particularly conducive to healthy family/community/society? (Why the career v life framing of opposition?)
