The Australian Jewish Association had it taken down from the SMH.
AJA are driving the division and fear. What we need now is the unity and peace spoken of in the piece. #Bondi

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Librarians should be given the same social respect people tend to give clergy. They are, in fact, the clergy of civic space. Archivists, too. Some of the consistently greatest people to ever exist on this planet.

liberals and the left, on the whole, don’t give a shit about ending #adoption.
spend any time talking about these issues and you see this clearly.
it’s not a left issue and it’s not a feminist issue. it should be both, but it’s not. 🥚
