Currently writing and contacting my bank (Beyond Bank) and Super (kinda like USA 401K) - Australian Ethical Super- company to request they remove TESLA from thier investment portfolio. #tanktesla
I didn’t choose ethical finance to bankroll elitism, facism & billionaire autocracy.

New book idea -
“You didn't say thank you” why coercive communication tactics are a sign of wider bullying and power abuse

It appears Trurnp might have told Putin that he could bully Ukr into surrender, & if he does owe Russia or just wants to impress his hero dictator friend, Zelenskyy does in fact, hold all the cards.

“Do justice , show kindness, walk humbly.”

In a word :EMPATHY

“Love your neighbour as yourself”

In a word :EMPATHY

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep”

In a word :EMPATHY

“Afford special treatment to the more vulnerable members of the body”

Kind of relieved to see the far right (let’s be clear:racist misogynist etc) contingent of Christianity being very open about what they actually think.

Mostly here because threads keeps reposting my Instagram posts & I can’t be bothered figuring out how to fix that.

*trying to decide* how to import a couple key moments from the bird. Does “once got retweeted by @brianzahnd.bsky.social” go in my bio section, a post or a whole thread of it’s own?

Actually ADHD (probably AuDHD TBH)
Capable & equally chaotic,consistantly terrible at proofreading.

Posting some intro notes so replies aren't my only feed on here.
