I must be too old or too naive but you’re talking here as if these were toys. These can be used to kill. Horrifying.

I wouldn’t poison our beautiful wildlife.

You’re absolutely right. The truth is not surprising at all but the author has fallen into lazy convenience as well. It’s easy for all of us to do so.

🩷 😴 👏

Depending on where you live and what you like to do you can get involved in regular activities that don’t require much money at all. You can volunteer with community groups to do all manner of jobs and projects from outdoor citizen science, to helping restore beautiful old machines, from driving people to medical appointments to taking care of historical buildings and gardens, from planting trees for wildlife to planting community vegetable and fruit gardens for community use, from visiting isolated people to volunteering with local sporting facilities and on and on… More money may come your way if you volunteer in areas related to the kind of employment you like.

Having an addictive personality can be used for doing positive activities really well.

Thank you, I did look it up but it didn’t give me the exact meaning you’ve shown me. A lot of the abbreviations used here are new to me but I’m learning.

Michael West Media charged for breaching antisemitism laws.

Have you got a link. I can’t find one. Or are you saying that MWM will be charged?

Couldn’t agree more with making our streets more walkable and cyclable and I’d add promoting people-powered native tree and shrub planting and community garden projects in suburbs and surrounds and creating more small green spaces for people to enjoy and rest in.

Your centralising website idea ⭐

Imo it would be very useful for readers but also for the diverse news groups. For example, if there were an event or situation in which some or all of them agreed upon they could make group representations, open letters, etc and make their voices better heard and save on resources. To soothe (or stop) the slow burn, perhaps discussing your idea with MWM or another independent news group their opinion might help. If you got them on side they might support you via their networks.

Thank you for the list. There are some I had not heard of so I’ll have a look at them. I think we need independent media more than ever.

🩷 They deserve our support. They seem to be the only media group that are pretty fearless and go beyond just reporting.

Thanks again.

So if there are so many people struggling now…

Wow, that’s pretty early in the piece!

Not for sexing echidnas 😆 Zg is teaching me how to use this page better.

Thanks zg. I’ll see if I can manage next time.

Echidnas are difficult to breed in captivity at the best of times because of their mating habits (I’ve put up a post about this before). Being an albino makes this little echidna very vulnerable in the wild because he has no camouflage so I imagine he will remain in captivity at the Symbio Wildlife Park in Sydney (the young woman who brought the echidna to the vet had the name on her cap). Because he is a young echidna I guess they will try and see if he mates in general. He is healthy and he should have a chance to exercise his natural instincts.

No, I did not understand it that way. In order to intentionally breed an albino animal both parents must be albino. They wanted to know what gender it was. I’ll have a look again. How did you get that impression?

🤣

I’m sure they could manage a bit of doublespeak Stewart. .
