I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Psssssst ... The moon is full 🌕

Parasola plicatilis or Pleated ink cap. These are so delicate, unlike myself. I simply don't have anymore grace for those that helped the fascists into our government.

P.S. Don't be a Nazi!

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Well, I'll finish this October long weekend by crawling happily into bed with a teensy dose of sunburn from carefree hours playing at the beach
Just like when I was 9 😄

In March 2025, the median Australian taxpayer earned $55,619 per year.

Channel-bills are last in the voting currently! It looks like your wish will be granted.

Now I feel a bit bad... 😅

Australia’s housing market isn’t a ladder, it’s a Ponzi scheme.

The new “first home buyer” plan just feeds the property lobby while renters queue in Bondi.

End negative gearing. Scrap CGT perks. Tax Airbnb rorts. Everyone knows how to fix it. No one’s got the guts.

Absolutely. It's barbaric. And contributes to toxic, harmful situations. It's almost as though they weaponise humiliation...

Listen to Jane Goodall’s final — and urgent — message Her last interviews are essential listening for everyone.

😊 Made me think of an adorable meeting I had on Saturday

Wonderful!

Yep. I guess it's still all about clicks and 'engagement', sadly.

Voted!

Kinda wish I knew who wrote the bird blurbs though: the shitty politically-slanted write up diminishes the king parrot.

I hadn't even noticed that!!!

I adore those glorious butcher birds 🎶🎵 🎶
