Pretty great so far. We went to the museum today and I picked up a Tesla’s Sphere from the gift shop “for the child”.
This is the reason that the request for Truth Telling is a fundamental part of the Uluru Statement from the Heart; we need to accept the ill effects of our past on the Aboriginal population, and recognise that colonisation is still happening. Racism has a lot to do with both of those things and it can’t be tiptoed around. Yes, it is difficult. Yes, it is absolutely necessary.
Ah yes, the famous Soviet era of the United States. How could I forget?
It was a US made Bell 212
Yeah cool, here’s one good thing we can do to make a positive change but fuck doing it because of the other, completely unrelated thing, right?
Or if you’re up in the top end, there’s Nawarla Gabarnmung which dates to about 44kya. Some natural rock pillars in the shelter, others modified and others still constructed or relocated.
Could you use a command strip or something?
Why do you feel the need to defend mediocre artist who has demonstrated that he has a complete inability to learn and grow past his horrific behaviour? Hip Hop is littered with abusive, mysoginistic, violent arseholes and each one of them should be called out.
If you’re specifically worried about people talking about how Chris Brown is an abuser, but not Eminem, you can rest easy in the knowledge that he has justifiably been criticised for his behaviour for the entirety of his career. The difference is Eminem never swept any of it under the rug, nor did he shy away from speaking about his problems with drugs and mental health, and the harm he caused because of it, specifically to the women around him.
The same cannot be said for abusers like Bambaataa, his defender KRS, NAS, Dre, Puff Daddy, Chris Brown or any of the other countless motherfuckers who use their money and position within the hip hop community to avoid criticism and consequences for their abhorrent behaviour.
With community (specifically fruit & veg) gardens you need to be considerate of what pollutants could be in the soil, especially if the area is prone to flooding. Regrowing native bushland has no such concerns and has the added benefit of providing much needed habitat for native species AND the flood resilience that lawns actually counteract.
All of this land is perfect for rewilding, I hope it doesn’t just stay as gigantic, featureless lawnscape.
Yeah, but how do you propose I take my van to Fraser Island once a year to drive over turtle nests? That ute that I claim under tax because it’s for “business use only” is a necessity!

I pre-ordered DUSTWUN by Echotide
Full disclosure, I’m mates with the bass player- the best way to support your friends by paying full price!
I hope you love them all. The Witches series was my favourite, my toddler is starting small, with “Where’s my Cow?”, but it’s just as good as the rest of them.
Australian cities and towns are really no different from anywhere else- almost completely devoid of wildlife. We exercise basic caution- check your boots before you put them on if you leave them outside, don’t go charging through long grass and swim between the flags.
Outside of the occasional croc attack from someone going into water with literal signs saying they shouldn’t in remote areas of the country, and the rare snake or shark bite there’s really nothing out here to get you. Certainly nothing that actually hunts you.
The US has mountain lions, rattle snakes, moose, alligators and bears, I’m good.
Could it be environmental? Any creeks, stormwater drains or water treatment plants nearby?
I live in inner Melbourne and sometimes when the wind is coming in the right direction the area just stinks.
It’s gotta be something from Our Kylie;
Kylie Minogue - Padum Padum https://youtu.be/p6Cnazi_Fi0?si=2gK5W93-kGwL4elZ
Does the song need to be of the past 12 months, or any Australian song?
Basically yes. Mentions of an ‘Arthur’ are scarce before Geoffrey of Monmouth’s (heavily fictionalised) 12th century account of him, and most depictions of him as the Britthonic warlord defending against the invading Saxons seem to be based upon Ambrosius Aurelianus. Couple that with zero archaeological evidence for him at his claimed birthplace of Tintagel and you can see how many are sceptical.
Pretty shocking really
With bonus suffering!
