To describe the Victorian flood deluge on the Great Ocean Road as a one in a hundred years flood is irresponsible reporting. It'll not be 100 years before events like this happen again, instead they will happen in ever increasing frequency because of #climatechange #climateemergency #climatewarming

Racist, homophonic, misogynistic commentary is being characterised as "conservative" and "right wing". Name up proponents of hatred for what they are.

Rishworth saying "America is our close, close ally" is not a reassuring statement in any way.

It's completely disingenuous for Albanese to say that the government has no power to stop algal blooms. No more fossil fuel mines, stop logging and land clearing, invest in renewables and a degrowth economy. There's lots.

Albo, you are sooooooo disappointing. Too little, so late.

Australia's mealy mouthed response to Gaza is reflective of our own undealt with history. A settler colonialist country that dehumanised and massacred the Indigenous population is going to find it hard to criticise an ethnostate perpetuating a genocide.

Albanese on Palestine is hugely disappointing. Of course I mean Anthony and not our shero Francesca.

There are way too many nepo babies in celeb culture.

As a Cancerian, that makes complete sense to me that Frida was too. Us moody sensitive souls.

The cluster fuck of today's reality is really messing with my innate idealism.

The public broadcaster, the ABC, is lackadaisical in its coverage of the ongoing Gaza genocide.

Your rights are being eroded so Israel can commit genocide without criticismΒ  - The Shot Across the Western world, criticising Israel's genocide in Palestine is being stamped down. News laws and a culture of fear make it hard.

Australian educators.
Are we going to organise before the fascists try to take over?
We need a strategy, shared purpose, and devise multiple acts of resistance.
Remember, they come for the critical thinkers first.

A β€˜doom loop’ of climate change and geopolitical instability is beginning Climate change is driving inflation and instability, which harms climate action. But it’s not too late to escape the doom loop.

This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change.
