Just watched this great new tv show called The Piano - it’s completely entrancing 🎶 #lapsedpianist

The bravery and dedication of these Ukrainian vets is so impressive. Animals are too often the forgotten victims of war.

Honouring the abominable and undeserving Scott Morrison should be the end of these archaic King’s Birthday Honours. Roll on the republic. #auspol smh.com.au/national/honou…

Sitting in the shelter for the second time today. Shaheds over Kyiv in broad daylight. Maybe it’s because Russia isn’t after “pieces of territory”, it’s after Ukraine itself.

If you have time. About the women of Afghanistan and what the Earthquake shows us about their lives and the men they are having to live with. Link in tweet below.

A cyberattack hit airport systems in Berlin, London, Brussels, and several other cities. Berlin: access to systems was completely shut down for “security reasons” Heathrow: “technical failure” Specialists are working to restore operations.

Vale Jane Goodall. “We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place - or not to bother.”

There are so many deserving candidates for that spaceship. Rest in power, Jane.

An overlooked truth about factory farming is the EXTREME boredom animals endure. Pigs are smarter than dogs yet are subjected to ZERO mental stimulation for MONTHS, giving up on life. On top of confinement & mutilation, this is *another* way they're made to suffer. 😢

It’s always nice to see a post from Gwydir Castle at Gwydir Castle pop into the timeline amid the endless torrent of direness. It’s another world, with beautiful interiors, gardens, peacocks and dogs. On my wish list to visit 🦚💫

This linguistic analysis of the US’s peace plan for Ukraine reveals tell-tale signs it was written and prepared by Russia. Ukraine and the intrepid Ukrainians deserve so much better than this.🇺🇦

An important, eye-opening read on how governments in Australia are deliberately excluding women and their interests from policy development consultations. #auspol #CEDAW

Happy new year 💫 Meet my new magpie friend! It’s quite fluffy so I think it’s a young one.

Hugely consequential. The Trump administration’s assaults on the rule of law and international co-operation are off the scale.

Just had several deafening flyovers for Australia Day. Terrified birds fled for cover. All the animals in the vicinity would be terrified. Enough with these Top Gun fantasy displays over residential areas.

Insightful thread on the gaslighting of an entire country.
