Surviving these politically outrageous times challenges everyone with a moral pulse.
No book can assuage all your #anxieties but I've aimed to share invaluable "professional knowledge" of body as well as mind so you can take back CHOICES that #anxiety robs. Short bites in case you're in overload.

Have you seen "The Hack" on Stan? (ITV in the UK.)
Essential viewing for all appalled by Murdoch media and the immense harm from "leadership" lust for profits. power, and embrace of toxic "causes".
An excellent review from Jane R Goodall follows.
Your views?

A rollercoaster of spoilers • Jane Goodall
A pacey dramatisation of News International’s phone-hacking and influence-wielding leaves the story necessarily unfinished

If we accept that reporters die in Gaza, we pave the way for other regimes to consider the murder of journalists a normal instrument of war

This is a truly excoriating and well-deserved take-down of the National Press Club @PressClubAust by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges.

You really, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 should read it. His words cut like a hot knife into butter. #auspol #GazaGenocide

Hastie driven by (heretical) "religious" zealotry. Heightened by hyper-masculine (read sexist, racist) view of the world polished up by his years in the military. End-times fundamentalism is ANYTHING but Christian. Bears NO relationship to the radically inclusive teachings of Jesus. Appalling.

Did anyone mention the cancellation of Chris Hedge at the NPC? Caused by...lobbyists (?) protesting Hedge's raising of the number of journalists killed by the IDF.
A "NATIONAL" Press Club of any repute?
Who made the decision?
Who backed it?
Who is protesting? Follow Hedge on Substack.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. The country applies the „Housing First“ concept. Homeless receive a small apartment and counselling. 4 out of 5 ppl make their way back into a stable life. All this is cheaper than accepting homelessness.

Nothing “Jewish” about Israel’s actions.
This is pure race hatred and destruction— along with insane levels of self-justifying “entitlement” bolstered by the worst FRW media and politicians globally.

Chris Sidoti unequivocal on exactly what Australia should be doing right now in response to the GAZA and WB horrors. Includes strong action against ANY support for "settlers"; also "Implement all orders and decisions of international courts relating to this violence."
Israel must end its genocide in Gaza. But Australia must act too
Our UN investigations are extensive. Now, all states are obliged not only to punish genocide, but to prevent it from happening.

Attacking the poor has been the go-to MO of RW politicians since time immemorial, along with race hatred, sexism, homophobia, AND protection of the WEALTHIEST.

I assume Sussan’s war on dependency will extend to the $14.9 billion of annual subsidies to major producers & users of fossil fuels? And end the dependency of wealthy property investors on annual tax breaks of $12bn? Or is she just talking people with disabilities?

Exceptionally strong, honest article on what Kirk promoted and stood for. NO he didn't "deserve" to die. His legacy does tho deserve close analysis. He successfully amplified messages that further endanger his targeted minorities.
Thank you, @jennaprice.bsky.social
It’s OK to speak ill of the dead. In fact, sometimes we must
Charlie Kirk’s murder is a tragedy. But I cannot speak kindly of a person who, when living, was filled to the brim with hate.

The Albanese Government has long been running a cover-up for this whole PwC affair. Weaselling and snivelling behind-the-scenes.

Just like its crookery with the NACC; corruptly stitching-up “donations” laws to block independents/democracy; undermining “freedom of information” laws, etc, etc…
