The home of the critically endangered earless dragon is being bulldozed. The species was previously thought to be extinct.

Native mint. Wish I knew some language names for it. I love the flavour.

it's not just us blakfellas that got colonised.
You aussies need to dig deep rn and break that landowner mindset. You are a child of the land.
Watch America, and be horrified. The same puppet masters are beginning to pull strings here.
It doesn't have to be like this.
Push back.

River Heritage & Wetlands Trail 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.

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.

The voted in premier just said WA is a "great ancient state" in his acknowledgement of Country and I just cannot. #mobsky

Watching live coverage of the WA election with a bottle of whisky like a real adult.

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 💚

If I was briefed to design a campaign that would guarantee both failure & entrenched racism it would have looked a lot like Yes23

If I was briefed to design a campaign that would fail while intentionally inflicting damage on blakfullas, Labor & Greens it would’ve looked exactly like Yes23

Renewed deep convection on Tropical Cyclone Alfred's southern flank on Thursday morning. High/cold cloud appears cyan in this imagery.

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

Tiny fines like this are built into their business models. It is not a deterant to damaging Country, they don't give a single shit

Professor Irene Watson raises the Tindale 1974 map of Aboriginal languages of "Australia" at the first sessions of Day 2 Statewide Treaty Gathering in Naarm. Have you seen this before? What are your thoughts? #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

Live Nation are absolute pigdogs.

Just saw a blue banded bee in my tiny inner suburban garden for the first time (all up in the kangaroo apple flowers) and I fkn burst into happy tears.

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.
