Gas has become the simple solution to complex problems. @southey70 and I travelled more than 4000km through QLD’s gas country and found divided towns, broken promises, sinkholes, cleared forests and towns in hope of real investment. @theage @smh https://t.co/GlnM6SGsPB

Ocean Vuong, Sheila Heti and Ali Smith publishing new books at the same time, don't they care about my house deposit savings?

@callapilla I was just today reading my diaries from March 2020, to the depths of Melbourne lockdown, and it struck me that a lot of those vibes still feel current to me. My vibe is still very much 'survive each day as it comes' but maybe a bit less viscerally than before.

@KateLarsenKeys @alexadsett @FremantlePress @AsialinkArts congrats kate! wonderful news!

@marissajpaine so grim! I try not to go too far down the rabbit hole with this because it makes me very paranoid, but interesting

[Claire Capel-Stanley @capelstanley]

extremely grim thread but there's no doubt there's a pattern here that goes beyond incompetence

[David Ritter @David_Ritter]

As we face more devastating east-coast floods, much of the commentary on the government’s abandonment of impacted communities has focused on @ScottMorrisonMP’s character & obsession with image management.
I reckon there's more going on - a deliberate wrecking agenda 🧵#auspol

Still have no idea what I'm writing, but at least the words are stacking up. 750 today. That's enough.

[Act on Climate Vic @ActOnClimateVic]

Community members gathered in Box Hill to show where Australia's political parties stand in the Race to Zero Emissions. Today we’re calling for the Federal govt to act... Will you? ➡️ https://t.co/nLyYgJBxci #AusClimateSolutions #Auspol

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

The ABC's 'winners and loses' of #Budget2022 is a perfect illustration of how journalism *still* considers climate change to be a niche side-issue rather than a change that directly affects literally everything

@karaschlegl @sallyrugg what has any of this got to do with being 'working class'?

[Claire Capel-Stanley @capelstanley]

@wing_kuang @FangyingZhou aw good times!

[Claire Capel-Stanley @capelstanley]

@thisgirl_writes I'm loving it so far. Makes me go a bit easy on myself, I think. We gotta rest and live, and that's part of writing too. Big love to you x

[Claire Capel-Stanley @capelstanley]

@thisgirl_writes I finally am reading Writing Down the Bones and I think Natalie Goldberg would fully back you on this!

[Claire Capel-Stanley @capelstanley]

Absolutely disgusting. I don't have words for how unjust this outcome was.

[Claire Capel-Stanley @capelstanley]

I think getting bullied at a girls high school gave me a real enduring fear of all-women spaces. Patriarchy is so crafty hey.

I keep waiting for some event to reveal to me the purpose of psychiatry. What do they actually do, beyond gatekeeping?
