Goodnight Sleep well May your morrow be better - or at least no worse.

Well, today I was mean to 'the chooken'. She's a dwarf sussex bantam (and I do mean dwarf). Brilliant little bird, very tame, real pet. Would be a brilliant mum. She has been sitting on faux eggs, doing her best. Today I took away the eggs to break the broodiness. I feel so mean.

Measles made me ill as a child. My friend is blind because her mother caught measles while pregnant. Immunization helps people!

134 hen harriers confirmed 'missing' or illegally killed in UK since 2018, most of them on or close to grouse moors raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/02/22/1...

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. All 3 patterns are available for pre-order!! If I don't sell enough of them. I'll have to cancel orders. So please support!! Which ones are you buying? Galaxy, bats or strawberry? Store: Bibipins.com

Part of the problems here is that safer, first-generation rodenticides are close to unobtainable now in Australia. Nearly the *whole shelf* at Bunnings is a dangerous owl, quoll and lizard killing second-gen: brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difethialone, difenacoum and flocoumafen. READ THE DAMN LABEL.

Wait for the ears 😊 Releasing a Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis) back into the wild after we caught it as part of a monitoring survey earlier this week. 📍Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, Badimia Country #WildOz

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

OMG everyone!! You won’t believe what I just caught! After 9 years on our property, the holy grail animal that I thought we had no chance of seeing just entered my cage trap that I use for rats. Meet the Chuditch (Western Quoll). Released safe and unharmed this morning. I am still in shock.

Nice one.

This is worth sharing. @australianlabor.bsky.social needs to watch it too, then #CancelAUKUS.

this is what happens when the US is weak. China knows Trump is piss-weak and will do sweet FA to defend us. We just gave the US $1b for submarines that don't exist and are unlikely to be delivered. In return, nothing. It's time to ditch the US and look for new alliances.

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

It's unbelievable. Scarborough gas project and it's 878 millions tonnes of pollution just got approved. While the world and Australia are on the precipice of catastrophic climate change, this is beyond reckless.

A priest, a rabbit and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender asks the rabbit "what'll ya have?" The rabbit says "I dunno. I'm only here because of autocorrect." 🤣🤣

Going to watch Dungeon Meshi for a bit. How To Eat Golems :P Also going to fossick something to eat. Melted cheese on bread roll with lettuce maybe.

Cannot find my watercolour paints. Less of a headache would be nice as well.

First party to find a way to dump AUKUS wins the election. Australians don't want to be part of the Trump Reich

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I killed my Patreon, moved it to a membership system for my online store (pepperraccoon.com), and instead of losing my patrons, everyone came over. I’ve replicated, if not exceeded, the patronage from Patreon, with fewer fees and restrictions. In one month.

The former director of the ACCC Gas Inquiry is calling for a limit on gas exports. 80% of Australia’s gas is exported. They are draining the system to the point we need to start importing gas, and they price gouge us for the remaining 20%. Calling a duck a duck. #auspol
