More than 180 authors quit writers' week. Many returned for a DIY replacement Constellations emerged from the ashes of Adelaide Writers' Week, which was cancelled after authors withdrew over censorship. Organisers share how it came together and lessons for the future.

We stood together against anti-Palestinian racism and they cancelled our festival. So we organised our own.

Very tired now, but very proud of Constellations!

Great in depth coverage from Hannah Story here

The Australian Human Rights Commission’s President and Commissioners for children and women’s rights have called on the Australian Government to support efforts to enable 34 Australian women and children held in the al-Roj camp in Syria to return to Australia humanrights.gov.au/about-us/med...

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?

The ALP in your head is long dead.

I’m not an expert, but this war doesn’t seem very good

I covered the Middle East when Saddam was America’s friend. The bloodletting hasn’t stopped Iranians deserve better than the ayatollahs – and they deserve better than an illegal war waged by a felonious, feckless president with no plan for what follows.

And, wow, just wow... Geraldine Brooks telling it like it is... www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

The media has a fuck load to answer for in the dumbing down of society and the absolute commitment to oppressive capitalism.

Aussie Rules official heard describing women as 'breeders' A southern NSW football club says an official has stepped down after making derogatory comments about players on its women's team.

New South Wales Australian Rules football club has stepped down after being caught saying a female player should lose weight, and describing women as "breeders". 😡

Super glad that Labor agreed to pay the US half a trillion dollars so that we can make ourselves a target when America decides to bomb whomever they want (but we also might get like 3 submarines in 20 years) 🤩🤩🤩

And the women his age know to avoid shitty little boys like him and that's why they hate women so much.

Which destructive force of AI will end humanity first?

1. Killing the environment

2. Socio economic inequality leading to global war

3. The algos working together to have us destroy eachother

Btw 1 and 2 are already happening and 3 is not far off

This begs two questions:

1. Is this advanced AI responsible for targeting the school that resulted in 185 school girls being murdered?

2. What accountability do the executives of the AI companies have for these deaths?

Australian Zionists have gotten more funding, hand picked appointments and legislation after Bondi in the name of curbing antisemitism (when really they are trying to curb criticism of Israel & doing bugger all about antisemitism) then a Voice to Parliament would have ever asked for!

All at sea with Pete Hegseth: Is this is what AUKUS looks like in practice? It seems that Australia finds itself yoked to America's actions whether the government likes it or not.

It seems that Australia finds itself yoked to America's actions whether the government likes it or not.

This is a war where small, innocent children are targeted while at school.

People, completely innocent civilians, are being killed. And some people are saying: poor Albanese, he has a tough job?

The only reason our troops are there is because we have signed on to EVERY illegal US war we could get our paws on since Korea.

Acting like our govt is not responsible for what and where our troops are, is beyond irresponsible - worse: accepting the future of us being pulled into these wars, again.

Spain’s MEP #IreneMontero:

“No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression.

Not in #Syria. Not in #Iraq. Not in #Lebanon. Not in #Afghanistan.

And it will not happen in #Iran either.

They hide behind women’s rights to justify their colonial wars.”
