i have gotten increasingly suspicious of art posts that just have an artist’s name and no other identifying info. i routinely image search those and used to be if it seemed to fit with the artist’s style and subject matter i’d say good enough and assume the image was from a fleeting website or a scan. i don’t feel like i can do that anymore. if i can’t find the exact image on a reputable site i don’t like it don’t reblog it. it doesn’t help that google has kneecapped their own reverse image search, which for all the issues with regular search was still the best image search engine. now it spits AI summaries at me and the exact matches tab shows me nothing. even if there ARE exact matches. i can SEE them.

Multiculturalism is so fundamentally ingrained into Australia that even opponents of it like One Nation and the Coalition are incapable of describing an alternative that doesn't alienate a majority of the nation. Even Pauline Hanson’s poor attempts to vaguely define her vision of monoculturalism (a non-existent made up thing) includes reference to multiculturalism to avoid the obvious label of white supremacy that she really deep down wants to push. Liberal MP Andrew Hastie says there needs to be a "third way" between multi and mono culturalism (an also impossible concept as anything more than 1 of a thing counts as multiple of a thing) yet in doing so describes multiculturalism.

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.

You can have any animal for a pet. Any complications such as “keeping the animal healthy and happy” and “the time and effort it would take to keep happy and healthy pet” and “keeping yourself uneaten” and “the pet I want is kind of extinct” have all been solved perfectly. You don’t have to think of that.
