There is no minute of #Silence for my #Indigenous brothers, sisters, cousins, aunties and uncles who have lost there lives to the ongoing #Genocide in #Australia. More of us die. More often. But still, no respect. No silent moment. No mitzvahs. Seems we are not worthy in the eyes of the colony.

260. More on the Quatermass Experiment. To close these tabs, I made a sub-folder in my Writing 2026 folder (where I keep my non-academic works-in-progress) and saved the articles. This should remind me that I need to do something about it!
