ADHDer here… yes, it’s about 2 hours past my bedtime, but guess who’s not going to sleep until they find out about Kvass?
(I’ve crocheted enough dammit! (same name on ravelry.com))
I wonder if we're about to receive an influx of Australian under-16s who have been banned from mainstream social media? They might learn dangerous things here at Mastodon! How to crochet a giant ant, for example, or to code, or how to ferment their own kvass. Or even the history behind different […]

The neon wonderland that is Burwood Chinatown (in Western Sydney), with its night markets and alleys.

These photos aren't a special Vivid-style festival. They're an ordinary evening.

Petition to call this Chevron fiasco Malcolm Turnbull + Peter Garrett’s largest CCS project, because they’re the ones who approved this monument to fossil fuel fiefdom.

Support @oaf.org.au! They bring politics to life and hold our government to account with their websites: theyvoteforyou.org.au (❤️ those thumbnails!), righttoknow.org.au, planningalerts.org.au. They are the backbone to the democracy and open information Australia still has. #AusPol

Worth mentioning for #sundayshot with @roycekurmelovs fresh from #cop30. Australia's largest fossil fuel contingent = Andrew Forrest, who donated 2.5 million to #fossilfueltreaty.
Which amounts to:
🤬 approx .003% of what FMG have made from the Solomon mine
🤬 0.019% from his personal wealth of 12 […]

When are we going to wake up to the fact that "farmers like me" are mere grains of sand in the beach of industrial agriculture where he is literally surrounded by Hancock + Murdoch? We saw at #cop30, family farmers @ipes-food.org do not exist where 1% farmers rule Australia + others.

Bless, an SA council is concerned about batteries "taking up prime agricultural land". So weird how that same argument never comes from them for billionaires, fossil fuels or carbon credits. Reminder that Santos is SA's largest company […]
