Beach life. All the action’s under the jetty.

Box Divvy Moves Away from Tasmanian Farmed Salmon Amid Sustainability Concerns With increasing scrutiny on Tasmania's salmon industry, ethical food company Box Divvy now sources from New Zealand King Salmon, citing concerns over sustainability, environmental impact & corporate transparency #auspol

I would think every woman or other marginalised person could write a similar anti-acknowledgement. Let’s normalise this!

This morning's episode of the #SundayShot is up! @emmashortis.bsky.social & @andrewjfowler.bsky.social lead us through the disaster that is AUKUS & discuss whether a US-gone-rogue gives us a chance to walk it back. Subscribe to our channel if you like what we do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uWA...

ok, so basically I would like this post to go viral.

Wickedly savage. 🤣 Tragically true. 😩

Terribly convenient, isn't it, for a generation in power which has ruthlessly screwed young people - house prices, tuition fees and grants, environmental breakdown, hostility to their speech and identity - to blame smart phones for their poor mental health.

This guy, @albertburneko.bsky.social, is a genius. Please read his brilliant article on Elon Musk's deranged and morally repugnant Mars colonisation schtick. defector.com/neither-elon...

Oh hell no! Blocked!

👇🏽 This. No idea why there should be loans to Ukraine. They paid it forward 31y ago, & contributed mightily to 31 years of nuclear peace. Disgustingly, delay in support to Ukraine has been to allow the military industrial complex to test out their new weaponry + watch how drone warfare plays out.

A far too regular & relevant reminder that there's nothing we can do about the US - but there's a lot we can do to make sure it doesn't happen to us There are 35 community independent candidates running in electorates Aust-wide who need your support 🙌 🙌 Look #auspol >>> linktr.ee/CommunityInd...

This week's episode of the #SundayShot is now up on YouTube for your viewing pleasure! A great conversation with @joshbornstein.bsky.social & @janecaro.bsky.social plus Dave's excellent interview with @sarahschwartz.bsky.social from the @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRxY...

Friends don’t let friends buy & eat Tasmanian farmed salmon. It’s produced & farmed irresponsibly, harms the local environment inc the ancient & endangered Maugean skate - & is owned by multinationals who pay little to no tax Friends don’t let friends buy & eat Tasmanian farmed salmon #auspol

Yes!!!!

Beach Life.

Oh dear. The ABA industry's at it again. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1... is a chapter of Brand New ABA 2025, in this breathtakingly expensive handbook. This'll be a thread. Brace yourselves, friends. I do a standard check of such papers:/

Unidentified chunks update: “Most likely explanation” is that it was oil that had been “liberated” from dead fish, and congealed. Yum!! Thanks for giving this the environmental green light, Albo

Perfect weather for preserving the tomato glut.

Let's hope more people do decide to stand with Khaled Sabsabi against the racist, pro-genocide arseholes at Creative Australia. There are still good people in the world. Go you good things. ✊ www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

National Association for the Visual Arts straight to the point. Noting that Creative Australia is actually complying in advance, as they say. visualarts.net.au/news-opinion...

Creative Australia ditching Khaled Sabsabi as our representative at the Venice Biennale is an extraordinary denial of artistic freedom by our supposedly leading & independent arts advocate. A week ago Sabsabi said he thought the honour "wouldn’t happen because of who I am.” Turns out he was right.

Just appalled by the Creative Australia Board giving into political interference to rescind the appointment of artist Khaled Sabsabi and curator Michael Dagostino for the 2026 Venice Biennale. I worked with them both in SW Sydney as young artists and was so happy for them. This is shitty.

Way to go Ben Folds 👏👏👏👏👏 consequence.net/2025/02/ben-...

Now more than ever.
