  I’ve just learned it’s #TransParentDay for both trans people who are parents and parents of trans people. One of the surprises of my life is that I get to be the parent of a trans person and every day is “blown away with pride and appreciation” day. He’s so great, I’m so lucky to be in his life. I know this isn’t everyone’s journey so sending this out with care and solidarity to you if this isn’t how things are for you.

  It’s been really fucked week so this Sunday night I’m offering some regenerative attention to these #ThreeGoodThings: 1. I met two young queer creatives who have built something good for local writers 2. People on here kept making pots, knives, gardens, politics and time for each other and believe me it’s a help 3. A willie wagtail sang all through the night outside my window https://wildambience.com/wildlife-sounds/willie-wagtail/ Keep going.

  Walking and talking with the middle one yesterday evening, thinking about how light travels. Ordinary moments of small hope. #MagicInTheMundane

  "We have experienced this type of racism for over 230-odd years. "It really is a whitefella problem, not a Blackfella problem." Uncle Ray Minniecon, not the only Aboriginal Elder and veteran to have to stare down Australian racists heckling Elders at ceremonies today. This is who we are, white Australia. We’re the problem, it’s our work to do. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-25/anzac-day-2026-marches-services-live-updates/106597328

  While I’m on a tear, a big shout out to older women on here. We’re so often deficit-coded in relation to both tech and political naïveté, and we’re made invisible by the cultures around us. We’re formidably experienced and carry a lifetime of wisdom. We’ve led teams, lifted weight, made things happen, raised families, buried love and loved ones, balanced all kinds of budgets, learned and taught. We’ve carried humans, illness, joy, change and injury in our bodies that are the most speculated abo...

  @Taco_lad @captainvellalives @MostlyTato I had a sense of one near me while gardening today. I know this one, it’s been around since it was the size of your little one. Took a while for me to realise where it was, just quietly watching me work.

  How does a community know itself without actually checking in on every individual about everything? By a weird mix of representative politics and lazy generalisation. Some people end up holding a bullhorn and saying what’s what, and some people participate anyway while agreeing or not agreeing. No one can possibly know what everyone is doing, but the bullhorn holders get a bigger say. Meanwhile everyday practice defines lived experience, and that comes to you through another weird mix of socia...

  Thinking this morning about Joanna Macy’s model of nested communities: the intimate group we feel at home in, the wider community we are part of, the global community of humans we belong to, the planetary community of living things. It’s not either/or, it’s all. @StillIRise1963

  Helpful fediverse, the world remains terrible but what is this? Found at the beach (NSW Australia), smooth stone with a neat polished straight groove down the middle. It has a half of something feel. Geologists?

  All the gardeners posting pictures of compost bins and seedlings and bees and #bloomscrolling — we’re not ignoring world events. We’re thinking with our hands about local food, food miles, waste and water management, fertilisers and pesticides. We don’t have answers either. But we work with cycles of growth and decay, and we’re thinking every day about more cooperative ways of living. #gardening

  The world is terrible and yet 165 people are watching a kākāpō asleep in her nest on “a small, predator free island in southern New Zealand.” You can too. https://www.youtube.com/live/BfGL7A2YgUY?si=pKlRecaDDCEx9k47

  It’s honestly so encouraging to sit down to people’s #gardening results on here when I’m deep in hard weeding and hauling out and exhausted soil improvement, and the whole thing is dirt and sweat and bugs. Send more flowers! More fruit! So lovely.

  RE: https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/116269177854026690 Quoting this to literally quote it, as a prelude to standing on a corner shouting it, and then hiring a small plane to skywrite it: “Even if you are criticising someone, burying their bad ideas with logic and all the knives of science, you’re still making them and their ideas important.” Choose who you make important, amen to that.

  RE: https://spore.social/@bethsawin/115985120276391923 Coming back to this small thread from @bethsawin to think about how we keep in mind what is possible, not just what is happening. How we draw attention to the possible in the everyday, and keep noticing it on purpose?

  The pearl-clutching about “family voting” in Gorton and Denton is an eye opener for Australians who all rock up for a democracy sausage in one car and vote compulsorily together while we’re at it.
