world aids day - such loss.
remembering died pretty performing prince’s the cross at selinas at a world aids day benefit.
remembering a school mate’s funeral in sutherland, a wonderful beautiful soul, in his early 20s, victim of a big disease with a little name, thinking of greg and so many others

What do you prefer? Our oldest, grandest form of human rock art in THE WORLD, showing plants, creatures, even human faces & meaningful messaging vs huge expanded industrial gas drilling & processing causing acid rain & fast art destruction? for OS shareholders to get richer?? Hmmm? #MurrayWatt
The Environment Minister is about to decide if Woodside's North West Shelf gas expansion gets the green light - and whether to cave in to corporate pressure to weaken environment laws.

Another incredible Australian band - Lipstick Killers.
Their live #vinyl, Mesmerizer, was recorded on a cassette in LA.
A 10 star hidden gem, this album rocks like MC5, Stooges, Radio Birdman and 60s Nuggets era bands.

Today we honor the flippered citizens of our icy nation.

Whether you celebrate whilst eating a democracy sausage in Oz, doomscrolling in America, pulling maple taps in Canada, or elsewhere, we appreciate the support! #worldpenguinday

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.
