The decision to allow Israel to participate in Eurovision is an act of grotesque culture-washing and serves as nothing less than wholesale acceptance of Israel’s campaign of international PR.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

The open letter states Segal’s Plan “risks undermining democratic and multicultural values”, including by “conflating antisemitism” with “criticisms of the policies or actions of the State of Israel”.
Segal “threatening Australia’s freedoms and democracy”, Jewish groups warn - The Klaxon
Nine Jewish organisations have labelled Envoy Jillian Segal's "Antisemitism Report" an attack on Australia's “democracy” and “freedoms”, and say it must be rejected.

Question. How do people take their evening meds? One at a time with sips of water? All at once? What’s the maximum pill count you’ll swallow at once? Pills v capsules? Water vs wine?

Maybe someone can help me find an artist who was profiled on Bandcamp within the past 18 months or so? Female solo artist who makes somber singer-songwritery music, a little gothy, with more ambient, maybe shoegazey? backing, no (or very little) percussion. Perhaps from outside US.
