We’re here right now on the streets of Tel Aviv, thousands of Jews and Palestinians, to refuse this war of annihilation and the abandonment of the hostages!

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

If there’s a swooping magpie it makes sense to be cautious. But knowledge is power. Magpies swoop because they were hurt by a human or they were raised by a magpie who was hurt by a human. But you can bring them round from this behaviour.

Important stories, important reading
These crimes were hidden for generations. Now Australia's having a moment of truth — ABC News
On a quiet patch of a farm, just downhill from Elizabeth Balderstone's home, is a place of unspeakable horror. A major investigation is now unearthing a long-buried history.

AC/DC. “Whole Lotta Rosie.” 1979. An incredible moment — the band happy to step back and let Angus Young take the floor, while still feeding him the energy he needs. And then, when Bon Scott ‘interrupts’ w/ the chorus reprisal, Angus just uses it as a springboard to launch into space. This is magic.

A trip down memory lane. On our way back from South East Asia in 2017. My first trip overseas in adulthood. In part on account of the fact I don’t fly ✈️
4 people face the camera, all with dark brown hair. The person on the left has their hair pulled back and she wears her glasses on her head, the next person has facial hair & scruffy hair and they peaks over the first persons shoulder. In the middle a man with a pirate style hat with a sheriffs badge and feathers looks straight on. To the right a younger person smiles. Their hair is also pulled back.

Every time we’re in Sydney we line up in this one spot…

#ryosnoodles #institution #itsaninstitution #crowsnest #northsydney #sydney #ramen #yum
A white bowl of ramen with a white asian soup spoon resting in it suits in the bottom left of frame on a wood look bench. Beside it are chicken karagee, a small red tea pot and small white dishes, another bowl of ramen and a hand holding a small white bowl filled with chilli oil. In the back of the image a Ramen menu sits below two lucky cat figurines. In the foregoing is a bottle of peach juice with a pale pink label A selfie of Gnat at the front right of frame also shows Jason in a queue outside a Ramen Noodle shop. The queue is on a grey concrete footpath in which a tree has been planted & beside a road on which cars can be seen.

@jade101.bsky.social remember the day we saw this bird 🦜 thanks for being my friend 💖
Seen at a distance a patchy bronze brown bird walks on a path covered in leaf litter. In the mid and foreground clumps of native grasses with green ropey leaves lean out over the pathway A patchy bronze brown bird with a white chest stands on the leaf litter. In the foreground are the green ropey leaves from a native grass

Every few years, we sign up for yet another platform just to keep in touch with our friends. Private platforms have locked users in for too long, causing a lack of innovation & competition in social media.

Bluesky aims to fundamentally change this.

While we were camped out on the first by Batemans Bay I was excited that the family of 4 Sooty Oystercatchers I had seen at the far end of the beach walking away from other people, calmly walked right by me at a closer distance. Snorkelled in a secluded rock pool at Sunset. Loved this camp!
A family of four Sooty Oystercatchers, black shore birds with red beaks and feet walk along the beach. Sand in the foreground, wet rocks and sand with the waves lapping over them in the mid ground where the birds are and then the ocean. Out beyond this are multiple headlands covered in trees. A blue and grey camp chair sits to the right hand side of the picture. One the left hand side in the foreground a picnic basket and gas bottle. All sit of leafy ground and beyond this a cabbage palm and gum trunks sit at the front of bush land

Albo saying that people claiming spots on beaches with cabanas is "unAustralian" but I reckon landing on a beach and staking territory that isn't yours is the most Australian thing I've heard of

Our first accoms in Sydney were cheap and cheerful and a little bit fancy all at once in our #balconyroom at #dalziellodge in #crowsnest #northsydney amongst the #treetops #gadigal #gadigalland
Toast on a white plate sits beside a white mug with a spoon in it and a sachet is sugar beside. Both rest on a small round black glass table ringed with silver metal. This is on a verandah with black metal lacework which looks directly out into the tree tops of large plane trees.

When you keep talking about how you like being given flowers so your eco conscious boyfriend suddenly pulls over and picks you some weed flowers from the roadside. Of course they come along for the roadtrip in a reused milk bottle - no seeds were spread #flowers #truelove #weeds #eco
A man climbs a low but steep hillside picking large white flowers While flowers sit in a reused one litre plastic milk bottle on a camp table alongside a water bottle and tub of camping crockery in the near distance gum trees can be seen
