A million years ago, in 2001, I used to patiently wait for a new strip of this brutal, bewitching, and excoriating satire to appear.

Twenty-four years later it's getting a rerun and you should check it out, kids.

The Climate Risk Assessment is distressing and shocking, especially for those most at risk: people in poverty, older people, people with disabilities and people without safe and secure housing.

Labor has no more excuses. Anything less than net zero by 2035 is a death sentence.

A 24 hour vigil outside Parliament House read the names of children killed by Israel in Gaza.

Reading the names, I found it hard not to be moved thinking about these innocent lives lost.

Israel’s genocidal intent has been clear for years.

Stern words are not enough. Recognition of Palestine is not enough. Israel must feel the full weight of global pressure or the killing will continue.

Working the conjuncture! @adamtooze.bsky.social brings me back to the classrooms, supervisor meetings and bars of my PhD with this discussion of conjuctural analysis using @jamiepeck.bsky.social 's work. Could hear Jamie's voice in my head while reading this.

Binary oppositions suck. They limit our perception of reality and the choices we think we are making.
Only 2/3 of people voted for a major party in 2022 and that trend will continue this time. Why are only the leaders of the political duoploy invited to the “leaders debate”?

If you are one of Australia’s most prominent influencers turned Labor apologist and the AEC is fact checking your Instagram stories, it’s probably a good time to take a beat and reassess what you’re trying to do

Before 2021, only five cases of Japanese encephalitis had been seen in mainland Australia.

This year the mosquito-borne virus has been detected in two Queensland piggeries, feral pigs in NSW and mozzies in Monto, Goondiwindi and Inglewood.

Humans can only catch it from mozzies. You don’t want it.

I don’t need to remind anyone that whatever Boston shit-scale of capitalism we’re now in plus a boiling climate means more and more of this, right?

I guess if Dutton is elected in Aus soon and fully emulates the US defund, d-notice and firing all staff thing on our own CDC it’ll be a quick death

No, I’m not kink-shaming and I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you wish to search for what certain hanky colours mean, but Bob really is a very curious character, and denial is a river.

On my RDO’s I like having radiological scans/nuclear imaging of my body & brain. Seriously, universal medical care is critical and I promise that once I’m dead I will recruit and command an army of zombies to storm parliament and eat any politicians responsible for breaking it.

Will you join me?

The baseline of Queer Resistance is Survival: don't burn yourself out.

Don't get bogged-down in the news. Sleep enough, eat enough, REST enough, and seek some joy. Reinvest some time into hobbies.

Queer Fightback can only be accomplished when you have looked-after yourself: Queer Joy is Rebellion.

I'm happy to join the crossbench in calling on the government to raise the rate.

But it has to be said that advocates have been calling for this FOR YEARS.

And while parliament has talked people have gone hungry, they've lost their homes, they've fallen ill, and they've died.
