This is such a helpful reflection on social media platforms and communities. But it also makes me think about what it means to move, to leave a place or community and try to join another.

“Even now, when the plot calls for me to turn to stone, the sun intervenes. Some mornings in summer I step outside and the sky opens and pours itself into me as if I were a saint about to die. But the plot calls for me to live, be ordinary, say nothing to anyone. Inside the house the mirrors burn when I pass.”

There Are Mornings
— Lisel Mueller

Political recidivism. Women and younger voters abandoned the party in droves at last year’s election. Tearing down their first female leader after less than a year, is their considered response? And for what detailed program? Vague boilerplate rhetoric? Fact is, the boys want their party back.

I think about the Sims painting goblin often.

I don't know Julian but I still think what he did with Wikileaks, what he achieved, and the way he fought his incarceration was extraordinary.

I know he did things that sucked. Just feel like there's a complicated legacy I don't want to see written off.

Wow, this was amazing. What a hero.

Is that conclusive?

‘I had Clive Palmer do the … ads’: Trump lieutenant’s Australian election claim revealed in Epstein files Trump ally Steve Bannon told paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2019 he had influenced an omnipresent election advertising campaign by the mining billionaire.

Want to know why Australians are angry about what is happening in the US? This is why. Trump and his cronies have interferred with democracy in many countries around the world.

Can't wait for this.

Remember to grab a steak to have with.

Really feel like this should be flipped.

This is so great.

Read that as 'is a treat.'

Yes it is. A little treat.

Like none of us are farm to table here. We are mostly buying the best we can from colesworths and hoping it's not too abhorrently destructive.

There are bigger fish to fry!

People already have so many hang ups about food, I think it's better to be a bit gentle around this. You're not going to bring the industry to a halt with your posts. Recommend a book by all means. Promote a cause. Share a recipe. But don't boycott someone's dinner. Be better than that.

... We clearly factory-tized chicken farming, we know it was dicey along the way too and it's arguable what the product there is like compared to what a normal chook should be, too. But like, it's not realistic to tell people not to eat chicken now. So should we really ring all the bells on salmon?

I'm with you that they're doing atrocious things, but like... It tastes ok? And people buy it, a lot.

I know it's not great to support, and the environmental damage is atrocious, but can we be clear-eyed about the product?

Did you know chicken wasn't widely available in Australia in the 60s& 70s?

This is so inspiring.

It is important now more than ever to support Blak voices. If you’re looking for meaningful reads this Invasion Day, here are some deadly books by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers to start with.

Yuck.

Just on these, how is Labor ensuring that these are installed safely, and not by cowboys? I get that there are probably different controls in place for different jurisdictions, but still. I hear about the speed of the roll out, but not much about safety.

This is a great distillation of the issue of Bluesky verifying an ICE account.

This seems to be a logical place to wonder aloud about when we will get polls on Bluesky?

FediForum | Growing the Open Social Web:<br>An Online FediForum Un-Workshop

To that end, I've teamed up with my friend @j12t.org, who runs @fediforum.org to put together an online "un-workshop" to explore different ways of growing the open social web! fediforum.org/2026-03-grow...

This looks so great! Can I get in on this too? 🙂

Oh brilliant, thank you!

Definitely need this!

Wow, this is great!

Hey is there an @unroll.skywriter.blue on Bluesky?
