I'm noticing a high number of Crows around in Fitzroy and they seem pissed off. Also not sure what phase of climate fuckery has fallen in my favour but back in town for a few days and other than some Plane Tree product in my eyes not getting seasonal hay fever.

As we've been screaming for years now: the centrist "don't mention climate" faction in both politics and even climate advocacy have just ceded space to right and far-right groups who CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. Eg - this keyword search on Aus speeches: www.afr.com/policy/energ...
abandoning its commitment to the key global target of net zero emissions by 2050 in November, opposition mentions of the phrase have almost doubled since 2023.


In fact, according to a tally of the number of mentions per 10,000 speeches in parliament using the privately owned artificial intelligence tool CheckHansard, in 2026 the conservatives talked about climate change more than Labor did for the first time in almost three decades.

Although I spent years studying, reading philosophy it was the failure of western white philosopher class to confront this ongoing genocide that lost me. This speaks to the psychological failure of the world really, to see the humanity of people in spite of the undeniable evidence of their erasure.
