An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

It's really annoying that journalists don't do in-text referencing or even a bibliography. I had to do those in year 6, they need to do it now

I'll include non-fiction books that are based on academic works but aren't aimed at an academic audience. They can use footnotes so they are not too distracting, but some of us do want those sources.

I've come to like notes that are at the end of the book. I find myself irresistibly drawn to read all available footnotes in a book, especially the ones where theres some extra context, but by switching topics like that i lose the thread of the main text, which slows down my already glacial reading :o
