A Day Will Come When the World Turns Against Zionism"A time is approaching when the world will begin to recognize the falsehoods and manipulations long associated with Zionist ideologies. On that day, global sentiment may shift dramatically, leaving no place for such forces to retreat. This prediction, often echoed by critics of Zionism, appears to be gaining traction as signs of a changing global attitude become increasingly evident across political, social, and digital platforms.

I can't believe Labor's hypocrisy over Gaza with inviting Herzog, and limits on free speech.
@senatorwong.bsky.social and @tonyburkemp.bsky.social, you've misjudged the mood and lost the principles Labor once stood for.

And we should have a Sovereign Wealth Fund so future generations can benefit.

What about a sovereign wealth fund to get some return on our resources that help future generations?

What tools are available to help the average joe-blow boycott buying from Israel?

Turned and hand carved Christmas tree ornaments made from spalted mango - reclaimed locally.
Some imperfections from branches add to the charm.

Why don't we have a Sovereign Wealth Fund? Now would be an ideal time to try and redress the wealth disparity across generations. Let's hit these guys hard.

Turned Christmas elves - mostly sustainable turned from reclaimed red cedar, lychee branches and HT pallet wood.

Trump is doing a pretty good job of emulating Milo Minderbinder from #Catch22 in this current fiasco.

Why do media turn up to listen to Taco Belle propaganda at the White House Press briefing. Taco calls them fake media - so cut off his voice. Use the time to dig deeper into his scandals and report on that!

Show your displeasure for the Google Oligarchs "kissing Trumps ring" rather than doing what's right. They could be in his sights next!
February 13, 2025 at 8:32 AM
I can't believe Google are "kissing the ring" and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Not within the Orange Jesus's jurisdiction. I'm baling on Google! Do no harm they said!
Let's show them that there are costs for complicity!
I've removed Google as a search engine.

I hate it when they haven't turned off flipping.

Green Pleiogynium timoriense (Burdekin plum) turned into a bag clip.
In the freezer now to see how it handles it!

Why do we make Christmas ornaments with little or no cultural significance? Here’s my first prototype gumnut ornament to replace the turned acorns we often see produced!Β

Dabbling in carving of late. Still new to it all.

A concoction of weeds steeped in water over a number of weeks. Weeds with long tap roots tend to mine minerals. So the "tea" can be a useful organic supplement. Borders on the hocus pocus side of things, but I think it works. And it's a good way to dispose of flowering weeds!
