And also, solar is the GOAT

Historic Murray River bridge future uncertain as it nears its centenary
South Australia's only vertical-lift bridge has been unable to rise for more than a week due to a mechanical malfunction, affecting holiday-makers and locals alike.

What’s the heat health plan for exploited workers? Who is checking their working standards?
“Over 30,000 people from nine Pacific Island nations and Timor Leste work in Australia under the [PALM] scheme . . . All are vulnerable to the whims of employers, landlords, and government."

I'm running a reverse cycle aircon in my off grid property for the first time ever. What do people do when heat stress & power bills no longer loom over your head? Is there a short course for this?

Here’s a closer look at the amazing prehistoric rufous scrub bird - ancient relatives to most song birds and related to lyrebirds, we are hoping that our breakthrough with capture techniques == new opportunities for conservation (1/2)

What in the ever loving fuck do you mean you can't tell me if a scan will be bulk billed until the day because I have to take a poverty pop quiz the morning of my appointment to see if Medicare will cover it. If it doesn't, $150.

There may be snow on the ground but today we are closer to the sun than any other day! Here in the northern hemisphere it may be cold and dark, but remember, light and warmth are always closer than they appear
At 5.15pm GMT today, the Earth will be at perihelion, the closest point to the Sun in our annual round.
This should be the start of the year. Happy new orbit, everyone!

Woke up so angry this morning I drew stupid angry pictures with dicks all over them, weeded the garden, then went for a walk for an hour. About to do all the laundry and clean the bathroom.

Me on my way to a family thing today. Gods help me they're landlords & property developers & I've been expressly forbidden from taking any knives.
Sometimes I don’t want to be love and light. Sometimes I want to be the scourge of Carpathia and the sorrow of Moldavia.

I think @ronnisalt.bsky.social may have written a book specifically for me. You'll still love it but Im pretty sure Gunnawah was written so I could come home from the library, sit under the veranda with a cuppa, a fresh sth westerly off Lake Alexandrina keeping the flys off, & be happy this is home.
