Hey @HelloFreshAU just pulled yr driver out of a ditch. Unroadworthy van w bald tyres, head office told him to sort out replacement himself, no support. He was v stressed as he couldn’t afford insurance excess other drivers had been forced to pay. Horrific way to treat employees

Some reflections as I start my last day of work with Open Food Network, on the role of the sacred dance in work and the need to sometimes go and lie down in the soft dewy grass of life to rest and dream https://t.co/jsXc5lrzga

It's not for profit. It's open source. It's a business. It's purpose-first. And women started it. In Australia 🙌 Open Food Network has been going for a decade and there are local incarnations of it all around the world. How to grow a food hub https://t.co/kQwKkL3DZD

Diversity is a key feature of resilient food systems – climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, insecure employment, and corporate concentration are exacerbating vulnerabilities in Melbourne’s food system. https://t.co/RlF5jgVYmd

The @smh still has the capacity to (pleasantly) surprise. Great comments by @DrRachelCarey on our export-driven food supply, and why Australia can’t take food security for granted.

just saw the strangest thing I’ve ever seen in the night sky. Meteor? Manmade? A long straight line of light (abt 80% length of sthern cross) w bright dots along it, moving slowly east over Tallarook before disappearing after 30 seconds. like a star train. What did we just see?!

Here's a searing piece by @LibbyJPorter of @RMIT_CUR in @FifthEstateAU, examining the destruction of the #DjabWurrung trees and the use of heritage designations as an instrument of settler-colonial control by the Victorian Government. https://t.co/a3AHv8iZ76

The destruction of a sacred Djab Wurrung tree last week exposes the rotten core of the colonial relationship in Australia.

Police overheard giving marching orders: “Plan is to take attested to the cop shop. Your priorities is arrests & making area on the trees side of the road a restricted access area” They have been prioritising arresting legal observers first #DjabWurrung #NoTreesNoTreaty

Hey @Domaincomau this article would have been the perfect time to pay someone Indigenous to write about native foods. Instead, appropriating Indigenous plant knowledge to boost a privileged white-owned business? That really sucks. Do better.
