love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

I knew where you meant - I recall you mentioning your folks retiring to Moonlight - their house was near the reserve / little lake?

I met a lady up there one morning who was picking up rubbish around the look out area, and we got talking and she was telling me about her involvement with the Save Big Hill campaign - because apparently the mine wanted to get rid of the hill and turn the mine into open cut?

I remember my Dad, who was a kid in Glasgow during WWII, saying they had Double Daylight savings? Meant it was light until almost midnight during summer.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Sunrise at a favored place on this earth. It's quiet and peaceful there. The weight of the world can be lifted away for a short time. I can look for the occasional horseshoe crab that needs rescued. I can feel sand on my bare feet. Everything is different there from day to day, but the same.

Pygmy possum with long fingers rediscovered in remote rainforest A possum and a glider long thought extinct have been rediscovered in New Guinea by a group including Australian mammalogist Tim Flannery.

Rediscovering species once thought extinct is wonderful, but...

Meet the Solar Powered Sea Slug, Costasiella kuroshimae aka The Leaf Sheep 🔋🌿
It's a super rare animal that utilises photosynthesis via kleptoplasty.
By absorbing chloroplasts from its food, it creates its own energy from light. An amazing creature that blurs the line between animal and plant! 🌱🐌

Please enjoy 50 seconds of a former colony cat learning how to play with toys.

(Video description: Setzer, a grey and white tuxedo cat, one hind leg recently amputated, tentatively bats and makes some tiny pounces at a white toy mouse, rolling over to paw at it while laying on his side, purring).

In other news, our PM has once again proven himself to be a useless ineffectual coward by supporting the illegal attacks on Iran. Honestly, why is Albo?? #Auspol

Albanese says Australia supports US action against Iran and stands with the Iranian people’s ‘struggle against oppression’ Department of foreign affairs warns travellers of risk of reprisal attacks, further escalation and flight cancellations in Middle East

Albanese thumbing his nose at international law and showing himself to be the pathetic coward we know him to be
Maybe he is just a sadistic cunt too? Enjoying the idea of murdering people that he does not know and who have done nothing to him

Just reading that Albanese backs this bullshit aggression.
The ALP has lost my vote.
Forever.
Blame that bloated sparf-bag and his merry cabinet, and your Sydney right decision makers, and your election planners whom also work for Tories.
Fuck all y'all.

Nothing says social cohesion more than supporting an illegal war.

Beautiful aurora last night on Maia’s aurora tour in Fairbanks, Alaska—the cloud forecast was 100% and for three guests, this was their last night here after three nights of snowstorm. This was a great first aurora for them and now they can go home successful!
