HOW TO HELP KOALAS IN AUSTRALIA! 🐨

I know koalas hold a special place in the hearts of Americans, so I've compiled a thorough list of organisations helping them throughout Australia.

Pls share and reply with any I've missed. Thank you!

Port Macquarie Koala Hospital has a drive where people can "adopt" a koala to sponsor it and (hopefully) see it recover.

What happens when you lock up children for years on end?

Australia shamefully kept many children (with their families) on the island nation of Nauru for up to six years.

These are their stories in pictures.

I post this as a warning.

Pls RT. Thank you.
"Venus, a teenage Iranian refugee who arrived in Nauru at the age of nine, was transferred to Australia at 14 with her family. She was admitted to the Brisbane Children’s Hospital upon arrival, and now lives on a community detention visa with her mother in Brisbane."
“'Venus regularly draws, sketching out disturbing pictures which under ordinary circumstances would be ‘a highly ominous sign’ warranting immediate psychiatric assessment and possibly hospitalisation,' says Dr Barri Phatarfod, founder and president of Doctors for Refugees.'

When you are poor, and I mean poor, it’s like you’re watching life move around you but you’re not moving with it, you’re somewhere else, you’re excluded from regular life, most things aren’t for you, Holidays, days out, going out with friends, even public transport #Dispatches
80% of the supermarket you can’t shop in, the internet, restaurants, cafes, clothes shops, even chemists. You exist on the fringes of society. You don’t even acknowledge most things because they simply aren’t for you. You learn how to be very creative, even when it’s exhausting
I invented ‘mitten monopoly’ teaching a 4 year old how to play monopoly is HARD, but snakes and ladders won’t see you through 3-4 hours of darkness in the evenings in winter,with no heating, so you turn it ‘fun’ by candlelight wearing mittens, he loved it, I hated it #dispatches

College au where Momo is a nerd who always sleeps in class and nobody knows she leads a double life until her classmate accidentally saw her after show.
“Hirai Momo!”

The professor slammed a book on her desk, making the bespectacled girl woke up with a start. Her black-rimmed round eyeglasses fell to the floor and the room erupted in laughter. Their Sociology professor, however didn’t look amused.
“Miss Hirai,this is the fourth time I caught you sleeping in my class!What do you think of my class, your bedroom?”

The room burst again in laughter until Ms. Sunmi shushed the class.She sighed and looked at the girl rubbing her eyes and has probably had drool on her chin.

On my final day @PacificStand I’m feeling nostalgic, so I wanted to share some favorite moments and stories. Think of it as a memorial to a job that I loved and that helped me grow as an editor and a person.
@PacificStand Also, if you admire the breadth and depth and quality of this work, I am currently looking for my next adventure (read: job). DMs open.
@PacificStand My very first story at @PacificStand was this incredible piece from @kathrynajoyce. It is still one of my favorites. Read it. psmag.com/social-justice…

I’ve done a little digesting on the 30 Day Reports and wanted to share some observations
#txlege
Empower Texans looks to be back to being primarily a one person show. They took in $1.1 million from 07/01 - 09/27 from 50 donations. Tim Dunn gave $1, 050,000. It makes for a very monochromatic pie. #txlege #txed
When you look at the donors in total, you realize the 50 donations really only translates to 27 different people (some people gave more than once). This also illustrates just how astroturfed this PAC is. #txlege #txed

I love game music too darned much.
2. de Blob - "Splashback" by John Guscott



The soundtracks to both of these games are pure, peppy gold from beginning to end.
3. Dark Souls II - "Majula" by Motoi Sakuraba



Of all the great music in these games, this is the track that ended up sticking with me most.
