This little sign about Angus McMillan is missing a couple of important details. I'm not sure "dispossession" and "frontier conflict" - completely in the passive voice - quite covers just how much of a genocidal cunt he was.

Angus McMillan

Exploration and Dispossession

The dispossession of the Gunaikurnai from their land due to frontier conflict commenced with the first expedition into Gippsland by Europeans. Angus McMillan, a Scottish immigrant born on the Isle of Skye, was understood by early colonists to be the discoverer of Gippsland, through a series of expeditions between 1839 and 1841. In late January 1840 McMillan arrived at the confluence of the Latrobe and Thomson Rivers, startling the local members of the Gunaikurnai in possibly their first encounter with Europeans. McMillan found luxuriant natural pastures on the Gippsland Plains for his employer, Lachlan Macalister. By February 1841 he had blazed a track from Omeo to Port Albert.

Urgent funds needed! A community still struggling after the last natural disaster needs extra support, particularly for Elders who don't have families to support them. Please give what you can and share widely 💚 Name: Coodjingburra HOME BSB: 633000 ACC: 198650723

All this talk around Felicia foxx painted up for ceremony wearing heels - very evident to me that mobs across the continent gotta find a way to communicate with each other respectfully and more in-depth. Social media fuels reactivity and dismissal, feeds re-traumatising misunderstandings. #mobsky

When I went looking for the family I was disconnected from, a huge unexpected connection was this publisher publishing my grandfather's brother's memoirs. My Uncle Kevin Palmer, now deceased. I would have stayed lost if it wasn't for that. #mobsky

A 1 day boycott doesn't do anything. Accrual accounting is your friend. Sure, maybe it will mobilize people who wouldn't otherwise do anything, but let's not pretend buying a shirt tomorrow instead of today does anything. If you want to challenge them economically, we need to build our own systems.

Had a dream that I had a stalker, they sent creepy emails. That's because BPU receives creepy emails on the reg and I was reminded of this right before before I went to sleep.

Hi kids, it’s great to be back in my fine old school! I nearly sent my son Fernando here but came into some money and was able to educate him privately. You can't muck about when it comes to your own kids!
