YO! That's my supervisor @antmandan.bsky.social 🦾

Sent a couple of my pippi bowls off to Open House, Vulture St, West End last week (Meanjin, Queensland, Australia)

Blogging today on the inanity of politics and the banality of ecocide. Here, perhaps for the first time ever, we have a piece of writing that includes Sun Tzu, Hannah Arendt, and Nelson Muntz. I think it says something useful. And I think it is slightly hopeful, at the end.

Yes, Australian nurses DO pay more tax than Australian oil and gas companies. We collect more HECS, too.

My Instagram feed right now is all hands holding hailstones. #queensland #storm

Is anybody watching

Insight into a rather dodgy submission to the Senate Select Committee on climate/energy info integrity, including misrepresenting key work on organised denial. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

How unsurprising from the former grifter in chief

God this is going to sound obnoxious but I'm doing it anyway: one of the most radical and genuinely bolshy things you can do right now is just fucking check stuff. Take a moment, find some sources, talk to some humans, corroborate stuff using independent pathways. It is going out of fashion fast

I looked up UQP: there were 22 books listed, including work by Kate Grenville, Melissa Lucashenko.

While obvs very happy for a ceasefire, I will just leave this here.

Not usually a 🍅 head but today I have been pomodoroing my arse off. #justsaying

Chilling.

So - let me get this straight… They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work What? #4corners #auspol

*thinking face*

Quick sojourn to present at the Senate Select Committee on Information Integrity on climate and energy with @carlylubicz.bsky.social and @riedlinm.bsky.social for @qutdmrc.bsky.social

Joining two of the best tomorrow @carlylubicz.bsky.social and @riedlinm.bsky.social repping @qutdmrc.bsky.social at the Australian Senate Select Inquiry — Information Integrity, climate change & energy.

In the shitshow that surrounds us right now, one thing burns bright: @davemilbo.bsky.social 's writing 🔥🔥🔥 @theshot.net.au .

Here's the archived version of the now deleted report on the rise of white supremicist rightwing domestic terrorism in the USA.

A horrendous, irresponsible misstep by Queensland Museum. Our cultural institutions should not be aligned with fossil polluters. Via @commsdeclare.bsky.social

I'm excited to see this published!

OK NERDS lessssgo

Ok, I like a festival too, but have you ever SEEN a rainbow bee eater? They are the most adorable birds ever, darting in and out of their homes that just happen to be HOLES IN THE GROUND that will be covered by festival plastic...

So disappointed. And (for the moment) biting my tongue.

Maybe this one might stir the pretty conspirituality gals and guys? #climatechange

Well this is grim.

Went to paste a link but before I got to drop it I got distracted and copied another link to send somewhere else then went to find the original link but got distracted and now I may as well just work on what I am supposed to be doing

I, too, am interested in cataloguing dance moves in cockatoos. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Listen to the crafty

“Do you want to live in a world where the powerful can murder the weak with impunity, steal anything, and then crush the ability for the rest of us to dissent with ever more murderous surveillance, policing and warfare technology?” #MarchForHumanity #Auspol #Genocide #FreePalestine

March for humanity

My firstborn turned 21 today and he moved interstate last weekend so I don’t even have an excuse to drink champagne.

The Job-Ready Graduates policy is social engineering dressed up in a lab coat. Here’s a petition to repeal it that you might choose to sign. www.openpetition.org/au/petition/...

Ok if this is number two I’m betting the wiggles will take number one #hottest100

Ugh. Until now.

Enjoying #aushottest100 #hottest100 — heavens there were even some women in there up around the 50s …

Living in a mad house. Hearing the controlled grief in @jjbw.bsky.social’s voice as he describes the oceanic tipping points we HAVE REACHED then Radio National just casually segues to “now lets see what the markets are doing today”

Bloody handed liars

When this sort of thing becomes amusing, it's time to step away from the screen, no?

Also

“One might pause to wonder what First Nations people, who are the victims of racism every day, feel about the priority given to 120,000 well-educated, secure and mostly affluent individuals.”
