Riot Grrrl will never die!

#Australia For over 50 years the Victorian grassland earless dragon was believed to be extinct—we took their habitat away. Then, in 2023, ecologists found one. After extensive searches, a few more. Now they're being bred in captivity at vast cost which involves: Construction and operation of a specialized facility Long-term staffing and animal care Genetic research and monitoring Purchase and restoration of a 37,000 acre reserve Future reintroduction programs. I couldn't be happier that this species is being saved (even though its recovery is still extremely fragile)—but this cycle has to change: We destroy habitat, drive species to the brink of extinction, and only then scramble to save them, at immense cost and effort, and with dangerously low genetic diversity. It is not effective conservation.

@robymessi65 Mi dispiace di non aver acquistato qualche splendido merletto di Burano l'ultima volta che sono stata a Venezia. Sarebbe stato un souvenir prezioso.

Capolavori

@forwardnotback You should be really proud of how far you’ve come.

Morning Last BREAKFAST

Pauline Hanson will not build one school, one hospital or one train station. If you don't like people who are different from you, she will help vent your misguided resentment. That's it. Nothing to make your life better in any tangible way, or that of your children.

@Baumann_Mac You can find vegan roast pork or duck in the frozen section of your local Asian grocery shop. It’s very tasty.

@JeffMNeale @CarlBovisNature That’s too sad 💔. I did see a big red kangaroo one afternoon around some houses in Daylesford in country Victoria. It was just jumping around like it owned the place.

@leungpublishing @CarlBovisNature You'll see plenty if you ever drive along the New England Highway any morning, especially from Armidale to Queensland border. But sadly they'll all be dead on the road, along with other unidentifiable humps of fur too, possibly kangaroos and possums. They come out overnight.

Something crazy happened to by brother in law a couple of nights ago..he was driving his lorry near Woolavington in Somerset when he had to swerve to avoid an animal in the road.. He couldn't believe his eyes.. and nor could the policewoman behind him.. it was only a Wallaby!😮

@LBFlyawayhome My favourite wildflower ❤️

@robynbryant33 I imagine something along the lines of what the Dutch King and Queen got up to when they recently stayed at the White House 😉

Can you imagine Charles and Camilla having their G and T’s after a day with the Trumps. 🤣🤣

I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.

@beigewash @JonesHowDareYou @RichmdSewerRat I understand what you're saying and where you're coming from but my dad shouldn't have had to be put in that position.

@beigewash @JonesHowDareYou @RichmdSewerRat My dad was told to try to get onto a free trial for an experimental form of immunotherapy for his skin cancer. After waiting several months he was eventually rejected so of course we chose to pay $$$. He had one dose (one month's wages for me) but it was too late by then.

A tiny bit of good news ... "Sam Neill has announced he is now cancer-free after undergoing a new treatment when chemotherapy stopped working on his stage-three blood cancer." theguardian.com/film/2026/apr/…

@implmaterial For a brief moment I thought they were going to play Radiohead!

🇺🇸 King Charles & Queen Camilla arrive in the East Room with the Presidential Couple as ‘Hail to the Chief’ is played

@RobynAnderson We're going to keep getting updates on these two 🥳

And then there were four. The paperwork hasn't been done yet, but we are adopting Rum and Reverb. (And they've gotten new names - Rum is Milo, Reverb is Magoo.)

@forwardnotback Those peas look very fresh.

TEA TIME One of my all-time favourite meals - not quite my pick for death row meal but close Shepherds Pie, Peas & lashings of Gravy (with extra mash) Golden Syrup Sponge & Custard 😍😍

@kellmanstreep I hope they got to meet in person.

a french journalist showed meryl streep a video of the actress who played the little girl in sophie’s choice speaking about her experience, and how she told her mother that meryl was her favorite mom 🥹

I guess we all knew someone would bennyhill it.

Next time you see a pigeon… pause. That small life has known hunger, cold nights, and a world that rarely notices it. They’re not asking for much— just a chance to survive. And sometimes… a little kindness is enough to change their whole day.

@upstatefederlst 80s/90s kid here. In Australia in the 80s TV stations showed 50s/60s films at lunchtime so that's what I watched during the school holidays. I loved the Jerry Lewis & Elvis movies. In the 90s I didn't want to waste my pocket money so I only rented classic videos, eg Citizen Kane.

People out here acting like 80s and 90s kids regularly watched movies from the 50s and 60s.
