Here's my haul, for $43.
I was almost fully-laden before I got past the history section, so I should do that last next time. Pretty stoked with a Marion Mahony Griffin print for $2.

Be there. Bring friends!
Of course, it is obvious that Albo's judgement, the Governor General's weakness, pointless Labor backbenchers like Alicia Payne and insiders like Katie Gallagher are also being protested.
** #israel should be boycotted and ostracised, not welcomed and normalised. **

Absolutely bizarre thermometer graphic used on #ABCTV news tonight. Check the number scales both left (C) and right (F) in the #Canberra edition. No AI please! #ABCNewsAU
That bizarre thermometer graphic used *again* tonight on ABC News #Canberra! Check the number scales, markers both left (C) and right (F). Isn't anyone at the ABC watching? No AI from the national broadcaster please! #ABCNewsAU

I thought what I hated the most in teaching was the grading part. Nope, I had forgotten the administrative documents to fill out when the end of the academic year approached.
That's worse than grading.
If you see me shitposting a lot this afternoon, you'll know why (I'll be trying to keep my sanity or on the contrary, I'll be losing it).
You've yet to have a bullying principal known across the territory's school system as The Teacher Eater, whose admin staff go home to cry every night, whose school is at the bottom of its national socio-economic band for test results, and who organises "visioning sessions" where teachers are required to list "What I love about this school" immediately before the annual department-mandated evaluation-by-teachers of their school?
All with the union sitting on its hands.
Hurrah! @risingtide_cbr are now on Mastodon! They haven’t started posting yet, but do give them a follow if you want to keep up with events and news.
The #RisingTide group in #Canberra organises social events, Discobedience dance, choir, NVDA actions, film nights, trivia nights, and a big group who’ve blockaded the #Newcastle coal port for a weekend in November each year for the past 3 years.
NatureMapr is closing down, so I’m going to have to start using something else to record sightings. I’m using Merlin Bird ID already, but I also want to ID insects and lizards and plants. Should I use iNaturalist, or something else? Mostly I see things in #Canberra but also sometimes elsewhere in NSW.
