"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."

Groups from Getup, the Greens, Beyond Zero Emissions, 100% Renewables and Australian Conservation Foundation plus many others were out in force today to protest.
Will you look at that totally bizarre getup on that uppity old rabbit please?
I mean I tried... I really did... Even gave her the name of my ultra secret face cream. And what woman does that!?!
She needs it too: Even her ears are sagging... And as for her jowls? Let us not even go there! Threw all of my good efforts straight back in my face, she did - the snippy little madam: Said she certainly didn't need any beauty advice from me!!!
Can you believe that?
I think I was channeling Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" geek, with a Napoleon Dynamite t-shirt and Insultinator thrown in for good measure.

Impeach March NYC. On the eve of the Impeachment vote in the House 5000 people gathered in Times Square and marched to Union Square. One of over 600 protests around the country.
At over 40 locations around Australia people came out to say #stopAdani, many in human sign protests. A large crowd gathered in Princes Park in Melbourne in a festive mood to spell it out to our Politicians. The Adani Carmichael coal mine will not proceed.
MoMo looks tough in that getup... until he opens that mouth... then run for your life!

Grandpa got this really sweet bathing suit that had a life vest in it. While it was a tad bit big, it still did its job, and we will probably be able to wear it again next year!

Después de una noche de fiesta, las mañanas siempre son más duras. Julia y Elena se despertaron ante mi insistencia.
Esta foto con exceso de ruido genera una sensación de malestar igual a la que sentimos al levantarnos con resaca.

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."
