My heart is broken for Cassius, his mum, brothers and family. For our Noongar community and for our kids, we are not safe and have been saying this forever to closed minds who continually say Australia is not racist. Brutally killed for being Aboriginal.

I talked to the Courier about the State of Environment report (subscription required). Nice work by @h_malvika Some great community enviro initiatives in Ballarat, and hoping SoE will help garner some more support for local action.
The State of the Environment report has revealed more than 8 million ha of vegetation including 9% of the nation’s koala habitat was burned during the Black Summer Bushfires. However an ecologist says there's still a possibility to "turn things around."

5yo just asked: if the world has no start and no end does that mean humans stand sideways?
I think I know what he means. I think the answer is yes.

Tried to put the new #HarryStyles album on for the kids and accidentally put on an album called Harry's House by the Jack Kerouac school of disembodied poets and kids were devastated by Harry's new direction

Based on this 38c/hr, Morrison's base income alone would cover the gap in the pay rise for almost 1.5 million hours of min wage work each year, or about 850 years of 1FTE min wage work. It's a start? #auspol
A 5% increase in lowest paid wage would be $1 per hour.
The business community suggest 3.1%, that is 62c per hour.
So the debate is whether 38c/hour will ruin the economy.
God help us…

New paper out: A new perspective on Late Eocene and Oligocene vegetation and paleoclimates of South-eastern Australia
I had a lot of fun working with Ian Sluiter's amazing data on this one #palynology #paleoclimates

I honestly can’t remember a more succinct articulation of the racist trope that Indigenous ppl are ‘stuck in the past’ than suggesting that Indigenous ppl choose the bondage of pain of suffering due to our inability to forgive white ppl…

It's dawning on us that we can't send our kids to kinder/school in a few weeks. This article lays it all out very clearly.

Just a reminder: The largest COVID super spreader event - possibly in the world - was when an Omicron-infected NSW man attended a rave party for 3 hours, in which he infected 200 people. But Morrison says if it's less than 4 hours, or only casual contact, no one needs testing.

By the way, it was ten years ago to this day I was sexually assaulted at the @theAGU meeting in San Francisco by a @Smithsonian scientist. Institutions must finally #BelieveSurvivors so no other woman feels she has no choice but stay silent for so long again. #JustLetMeDoScience

Academic parents: What time do you wake up versus what time do you start work?
Wondering if we're the only ones who take hours to get the kids out the door.
Me: 6:25am vs. 9:00am. 🤣
