Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

I’ve seen two kids post that the Brown University shooting is the second school shooting they’ve survived.
This should enrage and radicalize everyone.
Kids shouldn’t have to survive one shooting, let alone two.
No more thoughts and prayers.
It’s time to address the guns.

No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency.
This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

Time to admit École Polytechnique massacre was an anti-feminist terrorist attack
Originally described as a "tragic event," 36 years later it’s time to call the mass killing of women on December 6, 1989 what it really is – an anti-feminist terrorist attack that remains unaddressed.

The memory of the mass femicide at Polytechnique is still painful.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Montreal massacre, where 14 women — students at Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique — lost their lives in a mass shooting motivated by misogyny.
