  1. It's the Winter Solstice and my baby mandarin tree has grown me its first fruit.

    Along with my orange tree, it's great to have some bright colour and juicy fruit in winter

  2. I need to believe that there are more good people in this world outweigh the bad.
    Right now that feels like blind faith, needing to belive in a god who "works" in mysterious ways.

  3. Public transport tram infrastructure in #Adelaide #SouthAustralia is abysmal.

    Our neighbouring big city of #Melbourne #Naarm has the most incredible tram system by comparison.

    When pressure came to remove the trams in Naarm, its recorded that Professional and friendly ticketeting staff on trams (and their strong union) were an important part of retaining the network as was a much earlier decision when Melbourne was first planned for major roads to be wide enough to 'be able to do a u-turn with a bullock cart".

    Across in Adelaide, which was established by the South Australia Corporation (you heard that right), trams didnt go so well.

    Aparently the tram network once established was somehow bought out by the largest Tire Manufactuer of the day and along with immense pressure applied by the car lobby, the tram tracks were ripped up.

    Anyone know more detail on what exactly happened to the tram network in SA?

    I'm wanting to look beyond car industry history that records that 'people just wanted to drive, so it was pulled out', which seems like an incomplete narrative to me. What folks just went oh well, rip my local tram out, no worries? What went down?

  4. "In addition to the last post, say hello to Damon of #Brisbane fence walker metal band Misery. Damon hasn’t been relevant since they split in 2007 and “doesn’t care” about the safety of diverse metal fans at shows or about other bands “opinions” that #nazism and pedophilia are valid stances.

    #Nazis are Nazis mate, not the people opposing them and their genocidal aims.

    We would like to thank the Evelyn Hotel for maintaining Nazis have no place in #Naarm in any scene."

  5. "#Tasmanian gronk band Ignis Gehenna was due to come to Naarm to play the Metal to My Ears show in September. These edge lords are the type that try to do crypto facism, though not very well, as evidenced by their band logo (metal-archives.com/bands/Ignis). We also have it on good authority that their vocalist is a member of the Order of the Nine Angels, a satanic nazi cult that are known to be fans of pedophilia.

    Thankfully, #Naarm locals Scaphis, who had also been booked to play this show, learned of Ignis Gehenna's inclusion and, when promoters failed to agree to booting the fascist rejects, pulled out of the show (facebook.com/scaphis). Since then the whole shit show has been cancelled.

    Now that should be the end of it, however the headliners for this show, aging death metal act Misery have sent messages to Scaphis demanding that they be compensated to the tune of $3,000. This obviously will not happen, but it is very disappointing to learn that Misery, rather than take the opportunity to take a strong stance against fascism in metal, has chosen to attempt to extort a band for doing what they were too piss weak to do themselves. Pretty shit priorities, and a likely indication of where their own sympathies lie.

    Platforming and profiteering from nazism is unacceptable. Extortion from a band that simply exercised their autonomy to choose not to support and play with a band that are fans of genocide is utterly disgraceful.

    Misery is a fitting and deserving name for this band."
