PETITION: Hands off freshwater protections Call on Luxon to keep his hands off freshwater protections

Join me and call on PM Christopher Luxon to leave the freshwater protections in place greenpeace.nz/pu2aon

Europeans are the reason why Khomeini succeeded in derailing the revolution in Iran into an "Islamic Republic", and still today the #EU is doing its best to keep the Islamic Republic in power through "negotiations". This is a betrayal of both the #Iranian people and the security of the Europeans.

Interstellar Mission - NASA Science The Voyager interstellar mission extends the exploration of the solar system beyond the neighborhood of the outer planets to the outer limits of the Sun's sphere of influence, and possibly beyond.

Happy V'Ger Day, space nerds! Today in 2012, Voyager 1 entered interstellar space, becoming the first human-made object to do so, entering interstellar space at about 122 AU, or about 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) from the Sun. We celebrate by watching #StarTrek The Motion Picture. 🛰️🔭🦛

#Duplomb c'est NON !

Aid Agencies and Rights Groups Warn of ‘Mass Starvation’ in Gaza More than 100 organizations blamed Israel’s siege of the territory, adding to growing calls for aid restrictions to be eased and the war to end.

More than 100 aid agencies and rights groups, including Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders, warned on Wednesday that “mass starvation” was spreading across Gaza, adding to growing calls for Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid to the enclave.

Gaza fieldworker: “We are torn apart watching our children suffer from hunger”  In this moving account, Amnesty International's fieldworker bravely shares how their hopes of a ceasefire have been torn apart. The reality of their lives is now truly unbearable. Their home has been destroyed, they are facing displacement once again and the little food that is available just isn’t enough. They’re hungry, worried and afraid of what’s next.

"We are not weak - but the war has broken our bones, and the siege has hollowed out our stomachs"

Read this moving account from an Amnesty fieldworker in Gaza:

If there’ll be any beta testing, I’d be more than happy to contribute to this gem.

I haven't decided to think and work in the #arts to be accepted (by anyone, anywhere, or at any event). I did it because it was necessary to learn to get past the #barriers by staying #fluid and #gentle, to get right to the hard questions and #injustices.
