Artist (I prefer to do the weird shit) who lives off-grid in the middle of the Australian bush on Gamilaroi Country with a man, a basenji, a Sphynx cat, and a black floof that someone lost.

Imagine what an abusive partner would make of this. The Citibank ad put a deep fake of her in bed, laughing, with another guy. Women will die.

So there's a Right Wing art competition open here in Australia. It's called the Banksia Art Prize. It is a $100k acquisitive prize and this is their spiel. 1/? #AustralianArt #Art
A Letter from the Founders

G'day,

Australians enjoy one of the best qualities of life in the world. But you wouldn't know it from the winning entries of our top art prizes. Many of today's prestigious awards and exhibitions no longer reflect the values and culture of everyday Australians. Instead, they increasingly favour works and artists that fit a particular social or political narrative.

The Banksia Prize is here to change that. We aim to honour artists whose works reflect the true spirit, richness and beauty of Australian life. Our focus is on artistic craftsmanship and the power of a work to move people. We believe art should bring joy, and we hope to see a new wave of creativity that celebrates everything good about this country.

The Banksia Prize offers all artists an equal chance to be recognised. In most of our nation's top art prizes, judges are aware of who created each work, allowing bias to creep in. Judges of the Banksia Prize won't know who the artist is, ensuring every work is valued purely on merit.

The art we create today shapes how we see ourselves and who we believe we can become. Our vision is for the Banksia Prize to stand among Australia's most respected awards and to serve as a lasting record of what makes our nation remarkable.

We invite all Australian artists to enter when submissions open in January 2026.

Why is it called the Banksia Prize?
Banksia flowers are uniquely Australian. They thrive in every state, from the dry to the tropical to the frosty. They have evolved to survive extremes. Many species release their seeds only after a bushfire, transforming destruction into renewal. To us, the banksia symbolises adaptation, resilience, and the rugged beauty Australians are known for around the world. We want the Banksia Prize to embody those same qualities, to grow as prolifically and endure as steadfastly as its namesake, staying true to its values and relevant to Australian life for generations to come.
sincerely,Zuzanna and Jake

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

Hey Bluesky #paleontology - I saw a fossil in a YouTube video that was claimed to be the earliest visibl-to-the-naked-eye life but didn't write down it's name. It started with a G and looked like semi circles. Searching is not helping.. Help please

Violence against people with disability is too often overlooked, misidentified or treated as a service issue rather than violence. WWDA’s new submission, “Making Disability-Specific Violence Visible”, calls for recognition and co-design. Read more: buff.ly/vzhznXf
