I'm a first generation Australian. In the 1970's, my Dad came from Britain and my mother came from India. We're not a monoculture and we never will be, so many of us (including myself) wouldn't be here without multiculturalism! T-shirts at www.jessharwoodart.com

BIG FEELINGS this World environment day. Lots of rage as we watch these people burn the world. A reminder that we must push back on apathy and despair and keep trying to make things better, otherwise we will certainly lose it all.

There is a very small community out there who will be celebrating with me as I share the news that I solved today's #Quordle in 5 goes.
A blurred Quordle grid, showing that I solved the four words in five goes. You can just see that my opening word was 'gruel'.

For any #birdoftheyear folk out there I can thoroughly recommend this book. Curlews on Vulture Street, by Prof Darryl Jones. Great stories about the birds who live where we do, and the science that has helped to understand them. @gingerandhoney.bsky.social
A ruggedly handsome chap in his mid 50s holds up a copy of Curlews on Vulture Street, by Darryl Jones. The book has a blue cover featuring a Bush Stone Curlew, even more ruggedly handsome than the chap holding the book.

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

The White House backing away from its freeze on federal grants is a flat out win. As @choosedemocracy.bsky.social wrote in its email blast today: "It doesn't mean we will win every fight. But it does mean that anyone who is telling you it's hopeless is wrong."

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

Both parties have fostered a mentality where public ed should be your last "choice"- a hole-riddled safety net for the undeserving. THere's no sense in Australia of pub ed being a public good, being a place to build social cohesion, to give opportunities to all. That's why nobody fights for it.

Lidia Thorpe shows real integrity in standing up to Hanson. It's not up to us to police how she chooses to do it. If anything Thorpe is showing restraint. If she was fully communicating the harm experienced by First Nations people, Hanson would be flat on her back. The suspension is an outrage.

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

Thinking about how to navigate my suddenly bloated Bluesky account (those starter packs can fill you up very fast) & realised that it can serve very different needs. Just for fun, professional connection, marinating in politics, friends, cat pics. @mooseallain.bsky.social touches on it in this post.
