Disability Bluesky, are you out there? I'm looking for my disability community. I know that when we are together we do an incredible job of sharing information, resources, & even saving each other with medical care, housing, etc.

Twitter was life-changing that way for me.

Where ya'll at? 🤗❤️♿

if someone believes that it’s ok to bomb a refugee camp because there is an enemy combatant in there somewhere, you’re never going to convince them that Palestinian life has value

The fact that we have been holding conferences since 2020 and almost nobody but Davos and anime cons have figured out how to do it right is a prime example of how denial creates terrible policy. A lot of these organizers are very smart! They could figure it out! But.

Very proud of this report by my team, just out today - take note

Our new report:
"Beetaloo & Middle Arm are a #climate bomb. They will produce vast volumes of #emissions which cannot be offset. The atmosphere doesn’t respond to clever accounting, overly optimistic projections and reliance on offsets – only on how many tonnes of emissions end up there"
The Beetaloo gas field is a climate bomb. How did CSIRO modelling make it look otherwise?
In May, the Northern Territory government greenlit the mammoth Beetaloo Basin fracking project. But they did so based on a report with optimistic projections on offsets and emissions.

The Financial Times editorial board calls for a humanitarian ceasefire. This is significant.

“Israel’s collective punishment of the 2.3mn people trapped in Gaza — almost half of them children — must stop.”

I've been thinking a lot about history this afternoon, as Gaza plunges into darkness. We've never been on the right side, not from the beginning.

From the head of the WHO:

"We have lost touch with our staff in Gaza, with health facilities, health workers and the rest of our humanitarian partners on the ground. This siege makes me gravely concerned for their safety and the immediate health risks of vulnerable patients."

What the whole debate about an Indigenous Voice to Parliament demonstrated, with brutal clarity, is that Australia is a morally backward society.

Yeah but we were very in touch with the views of those in the Indigenous dominated areas of Qld, WA and NT. I'm not embrarrassed by that.
