The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

We've subsidised oil companies for decades as we "need" their products to run society, but now we dont, we need to use those same subsidies for heat pumps, EV's, solar panels, turbines, bio mass what ever else we can use to generate electric, it's only fair, we'd get to "net 0" real fast that way.

Just a thought, but to avoid the bloody annoying arguments every year about Australia Day, perhaps it could be on 27 May. That was the day in 1967 that 90% of Australians voted to include Indigenous Australians in the official population count, thus recognising them as citizens.

In what galaxy is an offshore gas project that ships gas straight overseas "nation-building". I know the NT News is famous for its hilarious headlines, but this is just deadshit. Words used to have meanings, y'know.
Screenshot from the website of the NT News: "First gas from the Barossa field being loaded in Darwin ahead of export to Japan".
Sub-head reads: "First gas has begun flowing for a long-awaited nation-building gas project. Read what it is."

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.
