How the FUCK do we live in a country where a war criminal signing bombs to be dropped on Palestinian kids is an honoured guest of our government but a woman author pleading for her people not be slaughtered is a dangerous subversive who must be banned from writer’s festivals forthwith?

Just in case you needed the reminder - the right to disconnect is now law.
Because if you're not being paid 24 hours a day, you shouldn't be on call 24 hours a day.

The thing is nearly all women have a story of being with or near a man they knew badly wanted to maim or kill them and that’s why women deeply recognise that Jonathon Ross (like so many MAGA cunts before him) desperately hated women and was looking for an excuse to kill one.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

"Never before has an Opposition blamed the [Australian] government of the day for a terrorist act." The Bondi attack shows how low the Australian Liberal Party is willing to go to gain any sort of traction.The Libs' dirty, ugly, trashy underbelly is showing.

Our hearts are shattered – and some have broken them further
There is no going back to where we were before December 14. But a social contract Australians relied on has been destroyed by the Coalition.

Netanyahu is very skilled at weaponising anti-semitism & wearing his victim hat.The absolute gall of that monster.The genocide in Palestine, carried out by Netanyahu's government, continues to breed violence elsewhere.If anyone is to blame for the attack at Bondi, it's Israel.
I thought it would be far to Crass and insensitive to point out that Netanyahu should take much of the blame for the #bondi attacks.
But as Netanyahu is happy to be that insensitive, I think it's only fair to say: "Netanyahu should take much of the blame for this."

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of a Belfast-based non-religious father and his child that the exclusively Christian teaching of Religious Education and mandatory Christian collective worship in Northern Ireland are discriminatory under human rights law.

Why run the country when you can abuse women who have just lost a child instead?
And why are the media so obsessed with a party that aren't in power, make no difference, and full of dickheads?
Ignore them. And force Labor to make POSITIVE changes...

Since I downloaded OneUI Version 7 on my Samsung A145g, and I have a number of Apps open and switch between them, they revert to, or reload, the "page" I was on, which is SO frustrating. Is there anything I can do to stop that happening? #A145g #OneUI7 #smartphone #Samsung

Two years on from the Voice referendum, I’m never going to forgive the Liberal Party for their cruel destruction of hopes of reconciliation for political point scoring. Dutton, Price, Hastie, Abbott, Credlin, and all weak, cowardly moderates who stood by and said nothing. A dark stain on Australia.

Conservationist Dr Jane Goodall has died, aged 91. One of my favourite photos is of her & Prince Harry strolling around Windsor as he interviewed her for Meghan’s ‘Forces of Change’ Vogue edition.
May her soul rest in peace.💕

Martha’s rule now in operation at every acute hospital in England
System gives patients, their loved ones and NHS staff the right to request a care review
Martha’s rule, which lets NHS patients request a review of their care, is now in operation in every acute hospital in England, health service bosses disclosed on Thursday.
The system has helped hundreds of people receive potentially life-saving improvements to their treatment since its rollout began last year. It has led directly to patients being moved to intensive care or receiving drugs they needed, such as antibiotics, or benefiting from other vital interventions. Continue reading...

There was an actual tapestry. Inside the original double album cover is an image of the needlepoint I worked on when I wasn't playing or singing. You can see where I stitched the words "thank you" before I gave it to Lou.
