Last Notes npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Worried about AI’s impact on global humanity and the planet? npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson I am using a rice cooker for the first time in over a decade and it is all very exciting. Brown rice! I hope this works :) npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson The money to pay for this year's #Budget increase in Defence spending is coming from cuts to funding for disability supports in the #NDIS. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Pretty happy to see my friend David McBride walk free from prison today. Telling the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, is important for a functioning democracy. In fact, the uncomfortable truths are the ones that we most need to talk about. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…em7h I knew the polycrisis was bad, but I hadn't realised Ragnarok had started npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Beautifully written explanation of why Europe’s heatwave must not be normalised, whether it’s to “but that’s every summer in Australia” or to “I guess this is just what summer will be like in Europe from now on”. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Farm life over the past 24 hours. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson During the COVID emergency period 2021 and 2022, I was one of the ACT Ministers making Cabinet decisions about public health regulations. Every day for 67 consecutive days, there was at least one Cabinet meeting, sometimes two meetings on the same day, including on weekends. We were given briefs with the evidence base for why certain regulations could reduce transmission and save lives, and the differences in new variants as they emerged. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Spending my afternoon attempting to revive an ancient MacBook Pro. Do not try to save me, there is no hope. Save yourself. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson I have no regrets about getting this Voyager 1 tattoo five days ago. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…3qha perhaps most of us actually expect the most powerful people in society to treat the least powerful so appallingly, that they don’t need proof anymore to believe it? npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…rhj8 @nprofile…n2xw I ditched that service after the 2022 breach (the first since I started using them, as far as I know). Still unsure if my current password manager is secure enough. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson If you’re in #Canberra and need crisis support, these places are open even on public holidays: npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson My friend David is in the Canberra Times, similar to the piece I shared earlier from @nprofile…xj02 - to say that the Jewish community is founded on being able to debate issues respectfully, and that he and many other Jews are opposed to genocide and have marched alongside Palestinians and many others in calling for an end to the violence in Gaza. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Still at #RisingTide in #Newcastle. We stopped the coal ships yesterday, let’s see if we can do it again today! Will post more after the event, I’m trying to just be in the moment for now. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Walked 30km today as part of the Menslink Great Walk, from Mulligans Flat to Belconnen. I’ll be doing it every day this week on the Centenary Trail around Canberra. You can donate to support their men’s mental health services here… leave a hot tip for my aching legs and blisters in the message section, best hot tip each night wins a signed book from Australian authors like Omar Musa and Trent Dalton. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…2y2x I turned up to a recent anti racism counter protest (because the racists were protesting near the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra and we wanted to keep them away from our First Nations encampment) dressed as Wonder Woman, with a friend in an inflatable dinosaur costume, and no trouble was had with the racists in the hours I was there. The police were fine about it, just kept everyone moving. We can win with joy and love and truth and peace. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson THIS. Call out the hypocrisy. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…d2rl maybe it was an obscure grape type or winery and they want to know where they can buy a case of it? npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…d2rl I am absolutely loving this! I once moved into a rental house and discovered a hidden door behind a rosemary shrub in the garden. The door led down steps to a secret cellar. In the cellar, there was a very nice bottle of shiraz and three bottles of average port. I hope your left-behind stuff just turns out to be nice wine or something. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…d2rl only a week and a half til you’re standing in front of most of the heads of computer science schools in Australia so you can tell them this in person. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson NatureMapr is our local Wikipedia for insects and plants and other critters. Nice to hear a bit more about how it came into existence. It’s helpful for identifying things I’ve seen while out and about, but also for finding places to go for a walk and see something new. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson 🧵 Accessibility Information for Canberra March for Humanity 12pm from Civic Square across Commonwealth Bridge 🇵🇸 npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Snow falling in Queensland. Three weeks of 30°C+ in Norway. You can’t tell me this isn’t a climate in crisis. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson My partner has come up with the most Dad tech solution ever for electricity bill management. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson I just accidentally ate a sticker on an apple because I didn’t see it there. How long til it kills me? npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson If anyone’s wondering if the flu shot is worth it this season, my anecdotal evidence / study of n=1 says that it is. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Things I love about my Mastodon timeline: at any moment, someone can just drop in and say “my day sucks, send puppies!” And random people will reply with pictures of puppies. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson If you never have to think about whether you can afford to see the GP now vs waiting til after next payday, then this story will be of no interest to you whatsoever. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Always remember that the crowd that applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. People like a show. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson District 9 is showing at Dendy Canberra on Thursday night. I’ve never seen it. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson This is the only thing I have to say about Dorinda Cox switching from Greens to Labor. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson If you’re in Wagga this weekend, Melbourne next weekend, Newcastle in July, or Tassie in September, I can highly recommend catching Chris Ryan’s new show. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…y54t mine also began with books, but there is no library in my home town. It was books given to me by nice adults, or borrowed from adults who didn’t care about whether I was reading something “age-appropriate”. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson This poem appearing in my timeline: npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson *Call to Action: Cut Ties with Trump’s America* npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…yuqa I quite like that the statue of the woman holding a pelican (not a famous person, just a lady taking care of a bird) at my local shops gets a beanie and scarf every winter, and a mask when we had public health regulations, and sometimes a flower tucked into her arms. The local community seems to really like their lady with a pelican, and I like that people are just out there being nice to an inanimate object for no reason other than they like kindness. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…yqhx @nprofile…k88l it is the egg of the thought-to-be-extinct Eastern Australian Sand Dragon. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson I’m feeling quite good about having spent all afternoon in the kitchen (and leaving it clean, unlike the state I found it in). It’s nice to think that next week when people come home from their various jobs and studies, and they’re cold and tired and it’s dark, we can have shared dinners with their favourite foods for minimal effort (just re-heating). npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Sunny afternoon so I went for a walk around the Siev X memorial in Weston Park. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson This is a good move by Illinois and I hope other States follow their lead. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson I was just sitting here thinking that perhaps a cup of tea might clear this headache, and the timeline did this to me. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…a8c4 this is brilliant! npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson One of the things I love about Mastodon is that when someone needs it, they can just toot “send puppies”, and puppies appear like it’s a magic spell. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Adam Bandt has conceded Melbourne :bunnecry: npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson This morning I saw this fine fellow in the carpark at ANU. He didn’t mind how close I was standing, he jumper off the log and started digging in the dirt for worms and bugs. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…y54t actually I think Albo talks a very mediocre game. There weren’t any big reforms promised in this campaign. So he’ll have low expectations to live up to based on what he promised. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…y54t the crunching must have woken the tummy dragon npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Re: that last boost about the democracy sausage map, I will be using said map on the weekend to help volunteers decide which booths they want to sign up for shifts at (handing out Greens how-to-vote flyers). They will want to know where they can buy cakes and sausages to keep their energy going all day. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson “The time to stock up on well-trained professionals and modern infrastructure for contact tracing, data collection and analysis is now, not in the middle of a crisis. Similarly, the socioeconomic determinants of health such as housing and employment are not soundbites but real issues all too easily neglected until we start paying the price.” npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Oh. Revisionist History (Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast) has a new season starting next week, with an ep on the murder of George Floyd in 2020. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson For those catching up on the morning news, I highly recommend this very important piece. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @nprofile…8t0c beautiful colours! I can imagine she'll love wearing them. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Instead of fear mongering over the possibility of coal plants no longer supplying most of our electricity and threatening to shut down rooftop solar panels feeding into the grid, shouldn’t we be building more big battery storage, and shifting cheap off-peak pricing to weekend daytimes when generation is at its peak and demand is otherwise low? npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson We need to make housing a human right to ensure everyone has a home to live in, not just a wealth generator for investors. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson 152 arrests so far today! 40 of them include charges under the NSW anti protest laws. That's the info I've got so far. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson We turned back a coal ship! npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Acknowledgement of country and then getting the flotilla ready for launch this morning at Horseshoe Beach, Newcastle. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Greenpeace boat is out here too npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson I’m at Rising Tide in Newcastle and we just won our appeal against the marine exclusion zone, which means a full weekend of fun swimming and kayaking at the beach, and saying no new coal and gas. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson My last official act as Minister for Corrections and Justice Health was to authorise the first ever TV crew going into Canberra’s prison to interview a person serving a sentence (David McBride). npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Another day where the two old parties in Federal politics are trying to outdo each other with how well they can control children “for their own good”, while continuing to let the world burn so that no future generation of children can live on this planet. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Telescopes in the evening. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Adam Bandt at #npc asked about whether his estimates are right on taxes that can be raised on excessive corporate profits. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Harry got a new cardigan and he thinks it makes him look like a whole new dog npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Unsure how I feel about the Brumbies deal with Rugby Australia. It might be some time before we see how it impacts the junior comp and women’s team. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson If there is one thing that we can all count on, it’s that today is gonna be a day. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson How to get your teenager to emerge from their bedroom: npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Today in a meeting I described most Ministers as being like easily distracted squirrels. We need formalised structures to ensure we are forced to listen to evidence-based policy, not just our own feelpinions, before we make health service commissioning decisions. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @npub1xr8…3q0g now all you need is some cola… npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @npub1q0f…rdcz we didn’t have a comics shop in my town either, but there were kids from other cities who brought them to band camp at the local boarding school where I spent school holidays as a scholarship music student. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @npub1q0f…rdcz I absolutely would have got into this if my town had a place to buy them. I was reading the New Mutant comic series, on which the 2020 movie was based. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson In the past few weeks, I have visited five different corrections facilities in three cities, and it has been quite a comparison. So many different ways of looking at what the purpose of incarceration is, and how that changes what happens behind the walls. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Stopped by the Eating Disorder Residential Treatment Centre under construction in Coombs earlier today. It’s getting closer to being complete. The view from the front deck, across the pond towards the arboretum, will be a lovely place for people doing the hard work of getting better. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @npub1xr8…3q0g that one got me too npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @npub1q0f…rdcz I believe this bar is where Jo Clay does a lot of the organising work with her volunteer crew… npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Come to the movies with me on Sunday and find out how much fun it is to shut down the world’s largest coal port! npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Muesli and sauv blanc. I think this is what they call “girl dinner”. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @npub1q0f…rdcz possibly my fault. I went out to the balcony with a good book, and it promptly started raining sideways on my book. npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson I’m watching Foundation and it is really very good npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @npub1q0f…rdcz hooray for local music! (Totally not my preferred genre, but it’s nice to hear about local bands that do good stuff regardless of what I’m into) npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson @npub1q0f…rdcz my first thought is always Parliament Funkadelic bass riffs npub1tk6lnccgrln6x3fygmxw9erg4l8cj9ggk7t9hd5d82y4453c834qsquxz8 Emma Davidson Pharmacies, a business who are legally allowed to block new competitor businesses from opening in the same area, are not happy about 60 day scripts.
