11 years of of saying no to the use and abuse of animals = social alienation, cultural pushback, emotional labor...
Knowing the stakes of animal welfare and climate change but seeing glacial societal progress sucks.
I'm exhausted.
In an anti-intellectual society, people who know nothing about a complex subject are emboldened to ridicule experts who have spent a lifetime studying it.
This is a pretty alarming new study out today (doi.org/10.1126/scia... - read the abstract) and here are some great visuals and highlights from it by @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/wate...
"Since 2002, 75% of the population lives in 101 countries that have been losing freshwater water"
Why don't we have enough women in politics?

The @climate200.bsky.social team and I have been working feverishly on something BIG.
This federal election will be fought on a knife's edge. With Trump-style politics threatening to take hold in Australia, the stakes couldn't be higher.

When you don’t have anything positive to contribute to society, why not try some racist dogwhistling?
As CEO of the Mornington Peninsula Support Centre, I’ve seen too many families in crisis this Christmas.
Food & cost-of-living relief shouldn’t rely on volunteers. It’s time for the government to step up. As your independent, I’ll push for real action for those in need.

40% of the mass of everything transported by a ship in 2023 was a fossil fuel.
That stat paired with this new study shines a pretty harsh spotlight on how obscenely bad-faith the right-wing concern trolling around offshore wind + whales is

Yesterday, I launched my campaign as an independent for the federal seat of Flinders.
It’s time for change - affordable housing, better healthcare, protecting our environment & a thriving local economy. Together, we can #flipflinders & put people over politics.
Let's make history 💪 bit.ly/Ind4F
It’s his first post. Literally launched yesterday lol
Indie candidates usually take time to write up their policies — either adopting the work of the preceding community group or start community listening in their own way. Wouldn’t make sense to launch with policies without involving local opinion.
Yep @i4f.bsky.social
Oh no…
We will never run out of ALP rusties who reflexively blame the Greens as a coping mechanism for Labor’s lack of moral courage.
We need to do a lot better you guys.
Fuck the major parties, vote for your local community-backed Independent instead.

Occam’s Razor, and all that.
The Australien Government has made an ad about our next federal election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

Search "how much tax has woodside paid?" and all results are dripping in vested interests... Petroleum Australia, News Corp, and FIVE results from Woodside's own website! An impressive SEO smokescreen. Even ChatGPT is tricked.
The ONLY impartial search result is: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
All the wealthy nations at COP29 decrying failures.
Top half of image is a photo of airport billboard reads: "Support renewables by backing them with gas. Challenge accepted." with Woodside Energy logo and slogan 'Australia's leading energy company' Bottom half of image is a recreated ad below reads: "Australian gas prices have increased 300% since 2014. You're welcome." Woodside Energy logo and slogan 'Australia's leading climate criminals'

Centrist: I'll stand up for you
Voter: Really? You didn't stand up for Gazans, climate change, transpeople, Indigenous people against mining companies, public education, health care, threatened species, etc - things you *said* were important.
Centrist: Yeah, but this time!
Cartoon of Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese using a lawnmower with the words “Two (Stroke) Party System: VICTORS” written on it. They are mowing through grass with roots that read “Grassroots Representation”. Behind them, Parliament House stands tall like a castle with ‘Electoral Reform’ above it.
