10 women murdered in 20 days! That’s 1 woman killed every 2 days!!! Is it enough yet Australia? Anthony Albanese #auspol #aus

Forgive my lack of Christmas cheer but wall to wall 'toxic spinach' coverage and barely a mention of the 10 women who have been killed in just twenty days. When is this country going to sit up and take notice of the epidemic of family violence and domestic abuse?

Oh FFS Kim Beazley on #730report, re the #AustralianWarMemorial expansion: "we always need more galleries to remember new conflicts". How about the National Gallery then? No funding? Artists must have stopped painting. Utterly appalling performance, but thanks for trying Laura!

What should be the role of the Australian War Memorial in addressing the lack of education around the frontier wars, and how much of the memorial's expansion will be dedicated to it? Here's Kim Beazley's response. #abc730

Today’s fine poor people food: Munich Voressen. Veal lung, sweetbread and tripe ground up and cooked with vinegar and pepper. This is what 19th century factory workers would have had. Almost impossible to find these days.

McLean "Mac" Cobden is a PhD candidate (on 'all things Superb Parrot'!) at ANU. Climbs massive trees and monitors nests. This baby was born on my farm. Superb Parrots are struggling primarily due to loss of nesting trees & food sources. I'm very proud. Well done Mac & #ANU 👏🙏

Marcus Padley is having a laugh, surely?! Feels sorry for Musk ("creative genius"), claims twitter employees are the cause of all the trouble. News Breakfast 😅🤯

Very powerful display of those who have been killed during the #IranProtests projected on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s embassy in London. 🎥 #MahsaAmini #اعتصابات_سراسری

Of course they have.

I loathe supermarkets. Simultaneously gouge consumers and screw producers. 17 years ago, after appalling incident, vowed to never sell to them again; so far so good. *BUT* this is a good story. Deserves applause. And retweeting. Well done

How cute is this? 💜

Tonight at Smith's Alternative in Civic: a group of Canberrans will recreate Steeleye Span's classic, Gaudete... 7pm.

Rogart: Glowering pink sky. Watering pigs. Complicated when things are still frozen. Success. I didn't fall over, get knocked over, zap myself on the fence or fill my wellies. It is treacherous underfoot. Kicking in to stop yourself sliding, chunks of ice skittering off downhill.

Summer orchids out on a quick scout in the mountains behind Canberra. Can still see a good range of late 'spring' spp. (Caladenia & Thelymitra) alongside the emerging summer Pterostylis (Greenhoods) & Diuris (like Mountain Golden Moths) #orchids #Canberra #inthefield #ozplants

Very strategic move by #Zelensky to get his arse over to Yankyland and create a hullabaloo they can't ignore. Speech to Congress seems to come down to: "We Ukrainians aren't going to f%&k around". Fair enough.

It is my fervent wish that Morrison is remembered as our worst PM ever, and that history does not airbrush out his massive failures, as it has with Howard.

If you are already driving so slowly through Skye that time is going backwards, it seems excessive to also brake for corners and all oncoming vehicles.

Have decided to give twitter a wide berth. Mastodon (join us!) is slowly gathering pace and I can't do both. Not closing my account but it's only a matter of time. Unless that idiot sells up to someone with a brain, I'll just be popping in occasionally to check notifications. 😪

He's really done it now, disabling third party twitters. Official twitter has been a shitshow for years... unusable. Idiot.
