Earth did not survive a collision with another planet, hundreds of asteroid and comet impacts, hundreds of millions of years of deadly radiation from space, five mass extinctions, and literally freezing solid for you to give up on her now.

The existence of this place drives right-wingers batty because while they wield a huge amount of actual power, it’s cultural power that they yearn for and it will always be elusive for them because they’re a bunch of belligerent dweebs.

Hey Melbourne! The number of people I’m hearing are sick is sharply increasing.
The limited data we have of COVID cases shows that’s also increasing steadily.
If you want to reduce your chances of being sick during this wave, highly recommend wearing an N95 mask. It’s never too late to start.

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.
That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

The media is the problem.
They’ll never hold right wing politicians to account, because the majority are owned by right wing billionaires, & said billionaires don’t want to share the wealth.
The bias, propaganda & hypocrisy is off the charts.
The media needs to be held to account for their mess.

Free speech is a beautiful thing, but when a billionaire thinks his voice is more valuable than yours and steps on your opinion using their vast wealth it creates an inequality that we really need to address.

Heads up everyone - this means they hate how well the blocklists work, which is amazing. But also time to be discerning about which lists you subscribe to.
This is the next phase that Kiwi Farms members have stated they will do - constructing look-alike blocklists and then adding popular trans people to them after the fact, once the blocklist is seeded in the community. Make sure any block list you use says who runs it.
Do you know who is running this list? Reason for asking is they copied this account's lists verbatim, but do not say who is running their account.

So if the federal and Qld governments & the Murdoch media won’t admit that the reef is going, going, I guess they’ll eventually just quietly admit when it’s gone. And pretend it was inevitable.
Terrible news today:
This year, one-third of coral cover has been destroyed in two northern sections of the Great Barrier reef due to anthropogenic heating.
Results for the southern sections (which were even hotter) have not been officially released.
