When politicians at all levels of Govt refuse to address the needs of their constituents - housing, health, education, economic concerns - it leads to people being vulnerable to those who will exploit them for their own interests & agendas That's we we're seeing today #auspol

Woah!! What an utterly incredible perspective of coral 😍 🧪🦑🌿 Looks like alien art, but it's a very real and intimate view of Cauliflower soft coral (Dendronephthya) looking up from its base towards its fractal tips. Australian Geographic 2025 photo competition Winner 🎉 📷 Ross Gudgeon

The Western world needs therapy. It does not know itself. Routinely "appalled" and "concerned" about the war crimes it arms, pays for, and covers up politically. It asks us to sever ourselves from reality in order to cope. On an individual level, this is unhealthy. On a societal level, it's suicidal

Carbon bootprints: How war is fuelling climate catastrophe

The military-industrial complex’s vast carbon footprint is deliberately hidden from public view, while we get gaslit into using paper straws.

Ha! My honors paper is on here. I don't believe authors hold copyright to academic journal articles though, unfortunately. Anyone with other publications here definitely has a case against this predatory company though!

Has anyone tried opening the Overton window to let some fresh air in?

And I’ll die on this fucking hill. If you believe people have to pay for what you consider a “human right” then you do not believe it is indeed a human right. You believe it’s a privilege for those who can afford it.

Nobody should be homeless. Nobody.

If I can sum up what just happened as neatly as possible: a Federal Court judge found the Australian government had ignored climate science when setting emissions targets, appeared to want to find for the applicants, but said his hands were tied by the law of negligence in Australia. /1

I've been slacking on the sea slug skeets. Enjoy a recent nudibranch from a Sydney tidepool. Jorunna pantherina (I think). From a distance, these tiny 1cm nudis look pale, plain, grey. Up close, they are full of stars! 🐙🦑🧪 #MarineLife #Inverts

Some of us need to fight within the system, some of us need to create new systems, some us need to tend the wounded, some of us need to stand in the way of harm, and all of us need to support the ones doing the things that is not, right now, our thing to do. Good thing there are a lot of us.

I did finally plant up my little garden bed with natives in between naps. Surprised to finding weeding quite meditative so far (I'm sure I'll get sick of it at some point though, lol). Loving the little bursts of #WildOz colors though 🥰

Y'all it's not just in my head!! I have measurable tachycardia when I stand. Smashed my glass coffee table top collapsing after one attempt 😅 Post exertion malaise, brain fog etc continue. Having a tough time accepting how debilitating this is. Sorry to everyone I haven't responded to in ages 🙈

Ugh, think I finally had COVID? Long expired RATs didn't clock it, but timing/sympts fit. The cough part was mild but the lingering fatigue since's been wild. Two months later, I'm still crashing so hard after mere easy walks. Really freaking hoping prioritizing rest on my break this week helps🤞🏼

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

A chonky mother-to-be tending a web so strong she could occasionally feast on tiny birds, bats or snakes. Didn't find the male on the meter-wide web. They are tiny in comparison, 4 mm compared to the 4 cm Australian golden orb-weaver female pictured. 🐡 🧪 🌏 #InverteFest #WildOz #Invert

There’s a snail in the deep sea that builds its shell out of iron sulfide. It literally armors itself with metal. Meanwhile, I get overwhelmed opening email. #science #marinelife 🐌

We are in a climate crisis which threatens our capacity to survive and, a few days out from an election, our politics is dominated by a neofash-driven “debate” on Welcomes to Country and a spat about costings and credit ratings. Neither ALP nor LNP are being held to account on climate
