Good grace, the common good and a healthy irreverence. Spare me the hatred and bullshit, give me the evidence.
Words matter, intelligence wins.
Living lightly and with respect on Bundjalung country in Australia. Gay.

This is instructive. I suspect the same proportion of wealth distribution is happening in Australia.
The/we old farts are hanging onto the property, benefitting from the negative gearing and tax breaks.
The alt-right will capitalise on the anger generated.

I'm on the Nature Conservation Council of NSW's Water Working Group. The Murray Darling water sharing / irrigation plan is utterly, comperhensively and systematically fucked. Environmental flows? Nah...
Secretary of Tweed Water Alliance, our niche is fighting groundwater extraction for bottling.

I just got a reverse shoulder replacement. Big stuff!
But I have to ask why the original idea of Medicare in Australia has been nobbled to suit for profit private hospitals.
It cost $25k because i was not insured. At least 2.5 year wait on the public list. #auspol

In our local paper - what's wrong with this advertisement?
It underscores the reasons the voice to parliament vote failed.

Let me tell you how much I love being off grid.
This was a short and vicious storm.
The climate changed denial would have his believe it's an anomaly. Happens all the time.
Not any more .

As if there's any doubt.
What more do we want to burn or flood before we decide to do something about climate change?

I sincerely hope whoever shot this made it out.
Climate change is real, it's now and we still haven't woken up.

I just cruised through the discussion accompanying this. Thank you (EBK and commenters) for the rational discussion.
Try getting that on the toxic platforms we've recently abandoned.
The wake up and reminder calls just aren't landing.

I occasionally go fishing on Twatter. This description of the musky fart is gold.

Embrace your resident serpent.
I had a 3.5m morelia spilota called Ethel (after my fave alcohol) lived in my greenhouse and bathroom for over a decade. She departed, I suspect died of old age, in 2020.
We had a great working relationship - I built her a hide and my place was rodent free.
