I just chipped in to help Cairo Takeaway fight a defamation case born of a tabloid hit job. They could use your support too.
Cairo Takeaway Legal Defence: Our Community, Our Values
Cairo Takeaway has been a cherished part of our community, serving delicious food and fostering connection in our neighbourhood. They've also been outspoken in their support for Palestinians. Now, they need our support.Why We're FundraisingThe owners of Cairo Takeaway are facing a defamation lawsuit. Legal defence costs are mounting, and like many small businesses—especially those who speak out for Palestinian rights—they're facing this challenge with limited resources.If, after a successful defence, legal costs are recovered from the individual who is suing Cairo Takeaway, contributions will be applied to defence costs and administrative costs only to the extent that these costs are not otherwise paid by that individual (as agreed or ordered by the court). Any surplus funds will be donated to Palestine Australia Relief and Action.If the defence is unsuccessful and legal costs are not recovered, and there are any surplus funds after paying for defence costs and administrative costs, all surplus funds will be donated to Palestine Australia Relief and Action.Our Community, Our ValuesCairo Takeaway has always been more than just a restaurant—it's a place where community happens, where solidarity with Palestine is openly expressed and where everyone, regardless of background, is welcome if they come in good faith to support justice. The owners have served us with warmth and dedication, and they've never been afraid to stand up for what's right.

Fibonacci Day is celebrated on Nov. 23 to honor Leonardo Bonacci, recognizing his introduction of the Fibonacci sequence to Europe. First described around 200BC by Indian mathematicians, the sequence is a sequence in which each element is the sum of the two elements that precede it.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

"progressive politics is not just about climate targets and tax reform. It must also be about moral courage: the ability to say, “Not in our name,” when innocent lives are being destroyed and our government looks away."
An excerpt from Senator Fatima Payman's brilliant essay from @australiainstitute.org.au latest book, "A Time For Bravery".
