@bsky.app is it possible for you to have a translation button for posts in other languages?
I’ve just unfollowed someone because he posts in German as I have no way of quickly translating his post.
Grateful for your comments or advice.
Seems so tense online in Aus today - ppl misreading #AustraliaDay| #InvasionDay tweets/ posts & getting aggro. More than usual 🤷🏽♀️
We’re sorely missing a national narrative that brings ppl together today. One that’s real, doesn’t shy away from the horror & is hopeful.
Thoughts anyone?
View of Williamstown beach from the western side. It’s a beautiful day with lots of cabanas set up on the crowded beach. The sea ranges from light green to turquoise blue.
A couple at the beach in their small sun tent. The man has a kangaroo t-shit, as a nod to the day.
¡Buenos días! A day of reflection for me.
Have a good one, no matter where you are. W/permission

“The anarchy that is emerging under Trump, in other words, is more chaotic. It is closer to the more primitive anarchy of the political philosopher Thomas Hobbes—a world of “all against all,””
An interesting long read.
¡Buenos días! Disconcerting to smell smoke brought in by the Westerly & have an orange tinge in the air. No matter how good the water is. Stay safe.

I'm in my 50s. It's now 2026. I had this stupid misunderstanding in my younger years that our leaders, local and abroad, were motivated to serve the people and make the world a better place. Nope. Their only motivation is serve themselves.
Very good work by @davidaustinwalsh.bsky.social for @bostonreview.bsky.social on urban socialism. Emphasizes a key point for progressives: making the basis of change clear in a way tecnocratic liberals have always eschewed

On this day in 1984, we released a single called The Killing Moon. 🌙🐰
I heard on the grapevine the Echuca Moama Triathlon Club put on another great #MurrayRiver / #Dhungala swim - the fab #WharfToWinery swim
Starts in Echuca & finishes at Morrisons Winery in Moama ❤️
Congrats - officials, organisers, swimmers & supporters
@thyrafarmer 👏🏽👏🏽
And boooy do we need an Opposition.
Nice tweet (no autocorrect here, thank you very much!) 😂
’Burning Down the House is the closer, and as it explodes, it reminds us to watch out – you might get what you’re after. It’s a spectacular show. But the spectacle is nothing less than the incineration of the American dream.’
Ladies and gentlemen may i introduce the real leader of the opposition in Australia. #Auspol.
¡Buen día! A slow recovery day in the shallows for me. Joyful summer day.

Perhaps the most powerful questions we can ask right now is ‘What is freedom of speech? And for whom?’ And hammer it out from our current context in Aus.
Yes it’s difficult & gnarly & painful. But we cannot leave this discussion solely to the politicians.

Enjoyed your wide scope (both in time, events, actors) for this piece. There are no easy answers, especially for Aus ppl who value freedom of speech.

Welcome to the club 🤷🏽♀️
¡Buen día! The sea is always surprising & sometimes doesn’t translate as expected from the forecast on an app.
The water was better than I expected this AM. And thank goodness for that.

Have a read. Read again. Reflect
My questions:
-How do we encourage moral/ethical & domain expertise, not social status, for career dev?
-How do we foster grounded & powerful enough places to stare down fear & elevate good faith dialogue?

“A primary focus on trauma in service delivery can limit alternative ways of thinking and practising.”
Really interesting & critical view of trauma informed approaches.
Worthwhile read for anyone who works or lives with ppl.

#AgedCare convo of the last fortnight:
Me - What do you think r your partner’s strengths?
*thinks for a breath*
Carer - He’s a decent person. Honest, reliable.
Me - Wow. Not everyone can say this after knowing someone over 20 years.
Carer - Yes, I know
