I’ve been a bit quiet on here but this was a joy to facilitate! There are so many good minds and hearts working to break down the human/nonhuman service delivery silos
Fascinating panel today on inter-species #familyviolence at RMIT. Great to hear perspectives from lived experience, SafeSteps, RSPCA and Lucy’s project.

Thank you @sarahthefirth.bsky.social for the incredible graphic illustration! And amazing job hosting @ylaingylaing.bsky.social

Conspiracy culture is a weapon wielded by elite politicians and capitalists to keep us fighting a culture war, so we are too distracted to imagine a better and more just world.

We need to be together irl. We need to learn together and organize. We need to dream!

Climate skepticism isn’t just ignorance—it’s a carefully orchestrated campaign that's more powerful than ever.

Shamefully, universities have betrayed their students, their staff and their reputation by shutting down free speech and criticism of Israel.

They are weaponising anti-semitism to sanitise campuses of anyone who speaks up for Palestinian human rights or against Israel’s genocide and occupation.
