Friends, can I ask a favour.

Our latest Honest Government out is a serious warning to Canada from Australia, which acts as a cautionary tail about the harms of the gas (LNG) export industry... Hence the cameo (spoiler alert) from our own aussie climate criminals, Woodside Energy

🧵Out Now! Tiny Moments of Joy: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand

It's officially live!
Today's the launch day for Tiny Moments of Joy and we couldn't be happier to share the news with you.
You can get your copy here:

www.swashbucklerpress.com/tiny-moments...

(1)
The first image is the cover of Tiny Moments of Joy: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand. It's a deep pink colour with a white and orange serif font. There is a border of pale ferns and the vibe is of calm and chill, maybe invoking the desire for a cosy chair and a cup of your favourite beverage... and hopefully ca The second image is of the inside of a book, propped open at the middle by a ceramic red loveheart and a bunch of stones that were found on a beach in Golden Bay a few months ago. I knew they'd come in handy. Rocks are the best souvenirs. The book's interior is white paper with black writing, centred with a vignette per page. Looking at this picture, you now know that this is not an illustrated book, the words draw the pictures, but you get the impression that you will not need pictures because you will enjoy these words very much.

Rent doesn’t differ if you're 19 or 21. So why should your wage?
Same work, same rent, same bills — same pay.

People are like “the problem with you leftists is you’re annoying” Yes. We know we are annoying. We annoy each other all the time. We are insufferable but we are also correct.

Cell-to-cell communication in brains.

A new study in Science reveals brain cells may communicate through tiny cell-to-cell channels — “nanotubes” — that bypass synapses, suggesting the brain’s internal wiring is far more interconnected than previously thought.

I interviewed Pulitzer Prize winning war correspondent Chris Hedges for an hour about the Western media betrayal of Palestinian journalists, the National Press Club of Australia, fascism and a violent empire in decline.

This is such a hunbling read. We're all just one or two life events away from losing everything. Never assume it can't be you. Heart goes out to Alison and anyone else living in financial hardship. Govt priorities are out of kilter with realities. Not good enough.
