Hello from NYC π½ (Patreon)

Hello from New York! Trump is being arraigned at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office here tomorrow, so it's an interesting time to be here. (The people I'm staying with can barely contain their excitement)But I'm actually here on my way to my actual destination: Canada.
I'm honoured to have been invited to speak in Toronto this week at a gathering of talented satirists and comedians who will be producing content about the Canadian government's own bullshit.There's a strong realisation forming now about the role of "narrative change" as an essential step towards mobilising action on key issues, such as climate policy. This article does a good job of covering this and even mentions The Juice Media as an example. Which is a reminder that we (that means us and you, our Patrons, who make our work possible) have been at the forefront of this work over the past few years. I guess that is why I've been invited to attend this talk, and I look forward to sharing the experience with you soon.I've lost count of the number of times people have asked us to make an Honest Government Ad for Canada - which, like Australia, is a major emitter of climate shitfuckery. So while I'm there I hope to talk with as many experts as I can to eventually create an HGA about Canada. I also hope to speak with Indigenous people who - as always - are on the frontlines of the fight to stop the expansion of fossil fuel mining on their traditional lands. Anyway, just a little update to let you know what I'm up to. I'll catch you again soon and as always, thank you for your ongoing support of our workGiordanoPS. How good was the NSW election. I was so stoked with the result - not just seeing the last Shit Party government being kicked off the mainland, but also a Hung Parliament - which means the Shit-Lite party will have to negotiate with a Not-Shit crossbench in order to govern. Which is honestly the best result we can hope for in all Aussie elections for the foreseable future.
