Besides all the great movies he made, many are my favorites, he also introduced me to the story of Leonard Peltier in the documentary film, Incident at Oglala. Redford went on to directed the 1992 film Thunderheart, a movie that changed my life. Rest in Peace Robert Redford. Name your favorite film?

Imagining a world where we care for each human life the way we can care for a pair of wild wombats subjected to thoughtless cruelty. Just think how great we could all be.

Any fellow #Neurodivergent people take time to try new things (unless 100% special interest)? E.g. actioning life admin or using a gift given with your needs in mind. It feels overwhelming, so you "procrastinate" without spite, engendering their frustration at you and your awkwardness as explaining.
That Mama wombat pursued a predator to get her baby back. I can't imagine her terror, let alone her baby's. #moronic
I know. I'm sorry. I'm not making light of your situation at all. Its very familiar. Are you networking with other crew in the same boat?
Paranoia is a normal response to the situation. It doesnt mean you are right though. Our white counterparts are going through the same, so you know.... Chin up. And try to be the last one standing.

The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary say there is no genocide in Gaza.

It is now clear this contradicts the government's own "long-standing policy" outlined below. When will they retract their denial of genocide?
