Additional context on 'possum skin cloak' from @phlebasphoenician in the notes:

"They're a tradition for First Peoples of south-eastern Australia. If you're interested in learning more about possum skin cloaks, there's a good article on it at at the Museum Victoria website here.

"A quote from the article that establishes the importance of it: 'prior to Europeans colonisation, a person’s possum skin cloak was intimately entwined with their life story. From the moment of their birth to their death—and into the afterlife. 'Traditionally ... we would have possum skin cloaks from when we were a baby,' the curator and Yorta Yorta woman says. 'They might’ve been four or five pelts big and then, as you grew, you would add on to that.' -- Southeastern Australia Aboriginal Collections senior curator Kimberley Moulton"

For those not tapped into Australian politics, King Charles is in Australia to conduct his "historic first tour to the commonwealth realm" i.e visting countries that King Charles is supposedly a monarch to.

Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe had requested an audience with King Charles for weeks prior to this visit, she wrote countless letters to speak to him. Unlike other commonwealth nations and other former Brisitish colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never formed. Their land was never ceded to the British Crown. After being denied and ignored, Lidia Thorpe, draped in a traditional possum skin cloak, stormed in the Great Hall during the reception for Charles at Parliament House in the capital shout the following:

If you can, reblog.

Australia’s newest climate report has shown how bad the climate crisis has gotten. The information is both horrifying and not new.

We knew this would happen. They knew this would happen. There is no longer an excuse.

Australia’s climate has warmed by an average of 1.51 +_ 0.23 Celsius, its oceans have warmed by 1.08 Celsius since 1990.

There is less rain, less water flow, sea levels are rising and the risk of catastrophic fires grows every day.

If you have the means to change: change.

If you don’t: inspire others to.
