Super excited about this one!

You know you live in a small town when a small act of compassion makes the local news! And please, if you have netting at your lace, make sure it’s boxed up and safe for our noodly friends

🚨 A microbat just fluttered past me while I'm lying in bed! 🥰🚨 It went back out of the room and now I can't find it again to let it outside

Juvenile wedge tail eagle 🥰 I've been watching this one grow (and its parents for years) and even when I see them multiple times a day, I still get a thrill.

Even though 1080 is derived from native plants, not all of Australia’s native species are resistant to this lethal poison.

During our Black Summer, more than 1,000 people came from North America to assist in firefighting efforts. The overlap in fire seasons in both hemispheres has huge implications for how we fight fire. Australia needs its own fleet of Large Air Tankers (LATs). www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The local wedgies have been leaving me an almost daily gift (it's moult season)

Perfect 🥰

Lil backpacks to help save bush-stone curlews! Some great research by the fab Shoshana Rapley, with guest appearance by detection doggo Koda. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12... #wildoz

NT government argument that it has no obligation to supply safe drinking water to the residents of communities like Laramba thrown out by the NT Court of Appeal. It found the obligation of a landlord to "ensure habitability" includes the right to ensure clean drinking water.

This looks like a super interesting role!

The community meeting in Bullengarook was streamed on the Macedon Ranges shire FB page, for those interested #vicfires fb.watch/wCbQJyf_bd/?...

Had a look on Facebook.. 2 posts from people asking me to donate money to "Save heritage brumbies" and 1 post with an image of the most stunning Tiger snake but the post reading that the person had the neighbour come "take care of it" Killing natives and funding ferals :(

Dear MSM, Stop reporting the Gisèle Pelicot case and verdict like it's something that only happens in France and that they have to make changes, when sexual assault/abuse is something that happens everywhere around the world every day. Thanks Women

Just want to shout out to people who pluck up the most enormous courage to call out their abuser, who is high-profile, only to be ignored/doubted/vilified/shamed and have their abuser venerated. You are heard.

Look at the size of the Wedge- tailed eagle pellet. Amazing!

Anakin and Basmati say Happy Friday 🎉

I was just explaining to a class of undergrads during a career panel that “you are the media now” is an incredibly dangerous idea. If I fail to do my homework or publish lies, I get sued/fired. That’s the vital difference between supporting journalism and getting your info from whatever YouTube guy.

Today Corymbia attempted to wear her mother, Lucy, as a hat.

With News Corp continuing its week-long run of fossil fuel industry propaganda, now is probably a good time to remind people that my new book, Slick, documents what industry has been up to and why they might be so desperate as to deflect a reckoning.

A column today How can News Corp call its gas splash an ‘exclusive’ and a ‘special report’ when it’s paid for by industry? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
