Loved this Mexican charro getup. Pretty neat entry, eh?
Yes, it's the Breyerfest open show, and yes, it's just as competitive as a NAN...

How-to-Vote cards handed out by volunteers for the 'independent grassroots' (i.e. left wing) lobby group GetUp urging a vote away from the Liberal Party and towards Labor and The Greens in the Pearce electorate under the guise of public healthcare funding. These ran in parallel with volunteers for the Labor Party and Greens handing out their own cards at the same booths.
GetUp ran campaigns in several targeted marginal or conservative-held electorates primarily on global warming but in some electorates it was disguised as healthcare campaigning as follows:
• Cook, NSW on climate;
• Cowper, NSW on climate;
• Hughes, NSW on climate;
• Hume, NSW on climate;
• Robertson, NSW on climate;
• Warringah, NSW on climate and voting out Tony Abbott;
• Wentworth on climate;
• Flinders, VIC on climate;
• Kooyong, VIC on climate;
• Menzies, VIC on healthcare;
• Dawson, QLD on healthcare;
• Dickson, QLD on healthcare
• Boothby, SA on climate;
• Grey, SA on climate;
• Mayo, SA on climate;
• Canning, WA on climate;
• Pearce, WA on healthcare; and
• Clark, TAS on climate.
The Division of Pearce was first contested as a new electorate at the 1990 Federal Election due to population growth in Western Australia. It is a combination of urban areas in Perth's north and northeast as well as country towns Lancelin, Gingin, Toodyay plus Northam, York and Beverley to the east of Perth. It has been held by the Liberal Party for its existence but was made made marginal at the 2016 election with Labor voting booths on the urban fringe.
The expected Labor win overall saw resources put into this electorate by Labor plus activist group GetUp and the ACTU handing out material recommending a Labor or Green vote. The vote count that night saw an unexpected Liberal win Federally with a swing back to Porter in the Pearce electorate.

I somehow was able to capture on film the precise instant that Dave woke up and leapt out of bed to kick my ass for taking a photo of him sleeping.

If Harding Middle School 6th grader Robert Adams Jr. hasn’t decided on a Halloween getup yet he’s got a good, authentic start on one now. Thanks to Brian O’Keefe and the Des Moines Fire Department he can easily dress the part of a firefighter. And, according to O’Keefe, RJ already knows how to behave as one.
When a call came in from RJ’s mom recently to deal with a small fire O’Keefe and crew took the opportunity to check the home for smoke alarms while they were there. They left some free samples, you could say, and before they were back on the truck and gone RJ had grabbed a screwdriver and installed them.
Thursday afternoon O’Keefe paid RJ another visit, this time to recognize him at an assembly of the Harding 6th graders in the school auditorium. He gave him a framed certificate that named him an honorary firefighter. Nice - a guy who installs smoke alarms around the house shouldn’t have any trouble hanging that on his bedroom wall. But then O’Keefe applied the coup de grace. He gave RJ a bright yellow fireman’s helmet; one that he’d used himself for more than ten years, #323.

Polling booth at Melbourne Town Hall (Division of Melbourne) on Federal Election Day, 2013. The Division of Melbourne is one of Australia's most left-wing electorates with a number of minor parties contesting the lower house here that otherwise only contest the Senate election. The Liberal candidate usually finishes third here behind the Greens and Labor.
The incumbent MP Adam Bandt is the Greens sole member of the House of Representatives and was returned with a small 2PP swing to him due to a substantial increase in his primary vote. Preferences from the third-finishing Liberal candidate elected Bandt in 2010 but were redirected to Labor in 2013 on the Liberal How-to-vote card. Bandt's primary vote increase offset this and he held the seat.

Hundreds of graduate students held an organizing rally on the University of Pennsylvania campus April 26, 2023.
Why? Their website (organize@getup-uaw.org) explains:
"We are graduate student workers at the University of Pennsylvania forming a union to improve our working conditions at Penn and to strengthen our collective voice as teaching and research assistants locally and nationally.
As graduate student workers, we make essential contributions to the world-class teaching and research conducted at Penn. However, many of us still struggle to pay high housing and other costs in Philadelphia, lack secure rights in the workplace, and face increasing uncertainty about our futures given the precarious nature of higher education and unstable regulation of visas and work authorization for international student workers.
We have already seen the power of organized graduate student workers at major institutions to dramatically improve their working conditions through unionization with United Auto Workers, including graduate student workers at Columbia, Harvard, and NYU. By building on the experiences of our peers at other universities, we can continue to raise standards for graduate student workers across U.S. higher education.
We join a growing national movement of student workers and other academics forming unions to improve our lives and our work. Graduate student workers organizing with the UAW across the country have made a difference advocating for science research funding, fair visa and immigration policies, and better working conditions in all academic institutions."

"The image of a Syrian child's lifeless body washed up on the shores of a Turkish beach this week brought the world to its knees. His name was Aylan Kurdi, and he was just three years old.
The sad reality is that Aylan was one among millions of desperate people forced to flee from war and persecution. The world is facing a global refugee crisis on a scale we've not seen since WWII, but Australia - our lucky country of a fair go for all - is not doing enough. We can do better to help these people.
We need to do better."
