This year, he has not risen. He's trapped under the remains of a three-storey residential building that was hit by an Israeli bomb, with parts made in Australia. 1/

"Gaza is no longer a place. It is an experiment, a question posed to humanity: how long can a population be bombed, starved, and displaced before it ceases to exist?" writes a physician in Gaza. x.com/intifada/sta...

“I’m done begging people to care about Palestinians now. I’m writing this not because I hope to change any minds, but because the only power I have – the only power that many of us have – is to continually raise our voices and say that we do not consent to this” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

my day has not gone as planned

I've a stye in my eye :/ (I know they can be painful, and sometimes serious, but I will never not find it funny that stye rhymes with eye)

what would make this the goodest Good Friday? Freeing Palestine. From the river to the sea

Glad to hear that Bluesky are taking list harassment seriously.

“In the process of confronting power and repairing damage, Huber creates artworks that are profound and hauntingly beautiful.” From Overland #256, Daniel Browning on Sasha Huber and the politics of memory.

I binged series one of North of North earlier this week, and immediately wanted news of series two. How could they not

When we say that non-native writers, filmmakers, artists are NOT entitled to our history, identities, culture, stories & imagery we mean just that...they are NOT entitled to it and they are not above criticism or accountability.

I fail to be surprised by anything but it is especially yuck when Non-Natives commercialize and profit from our tragedy as Natives.

This PMO so badly. I’m not sure why Penguin Random House chose to publish this but I’m flabbergasted. Why is this Iraqi-American writing about First Nations and MMIW. What in the actual FK.

Just like a wild wing dove....

They say you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead. Keith Windschuttle was a man whose name contained both vowels and consonants. He was someone who digested food regularly for several decades. I’ll remember him as he always was: composed of particles arranged Keith Windschuttle-wise.

@clairegcoleman.bsky.social did you see that Windschuttle is finally dead? May he enjoy an eternity in hell, alongside Neville

Keith Windschuttle died on the same date as Margaret Thatcher's death (but years apart). 🤔 Well then, I will remember him unfondly on the next Maggie's in a Box anniversary. #NotTooSoon I'm not wasting tears on a racist Stolen Generations denialist

Being Palestinian in a world where we are denied the right to return is “a life condemned to being raised on stories”. Our first feature unlock from issue #256 is PLANT HATRED IN OUR HEARTS by Sarah Wehbe.

How good is that Stella shortlist. So good I bet Caroline Ovaltine is seething, as she writes an opinion piece on white writers being victimised by an unAustralian woke literary sector, that's destroying social cohesion by diversifying book shelves. Or something

Stares at the computer all day. Gives up. Reads poetry until it's dark outside. Bedtime: Quickly writes a *chapter. Well, that's another successful day of being a full-time writer. (*This novel features very small chapters)

Staring at a blank page is writing. Reading is writing. Online searches are writing. Going for a walk is writing. Pouring a gin and applying a clay mask treatment is giving up writing for the day, but with hopefully better skin

I'm not saying this as a pro-Palestine partisan, although I am one I'm saying this as someone whose job the last decade has been to try to piece together a narrative of Middle East politics from unreliable and conflicting public info sources The IDF's word isn't worth the paper it's written on

They stopped the ambulances in Gaza | First Dog on the Moon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

'It's just insulting': Backlash over a British woman's claims of being the first woman to solo traverse across Nunavut island. Inuit are definitely questioning that claim! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

No word from the government or opposition on the mass grave of ambulance and humanitarian workers in Gaza, credibly reported as executed by the IDF. No word because the federal government has decided to profit from genocide rather than stop it.

lots of pet posts from me today. Now it looks like the dog wants to go for a slow walk. It's been 14 months since she had an operation and stage 4 cancer diagnosis. She's been in palliative stage for ages. I really thought it was the end in early January. But she keeps on keeping on

the immortal bantam (must be at least 12 years old) is perched on the back door's threshold. Been sitting there for hours, watching the humans & furry animals in the human cage. The other chooks died years ago, so she lives alone in a huge coop. I'm feeding her treats to encourage her to venture in

I keep forgetting what I've posted/announced on which platform. Apologies if I repeat myself or sound like a braggart. (almost spelt that as bragget or braggot. I'd see no need to apologise if I was a spicy ale & honey mead)
